The Boys (complete series): 9.2

Is it over? I can't remember how far I got, but I burned through a SERIOUS chunk a little while ago, I'm thinking 50 issues or so, plus the weird confernce miniseries with all the tits

I'd love to wrap that up, I really did enjoy the universe he built there.

Scalped #48 - 9/10

Crossed was really good, but I think the sequel/spin off thing that was written by someone else
was actually better than Ennis's original

Acts of Vengeance Omnibus - 10

Order of Swamp Thing hardcover collections 2-4 arrived a couple of days ago, still rereading #1 before tackling those. Have run out of weed weeks ago sadly...

Rise of the Midnight Sons/The Darkhold - 6

iffy early 90's Marvel occult nonsense. shit could have been choice in the right hands.

The Walking Dead volume 14 10/10

I haven't been into comics since I was a kid, but I'm psyched to check this out:

Moving on to go through all The Sandman stuff I didn't finish years ago. Having fun...

A new Swamp Thing #1 is going to be a part of DCs big renumbering this fall, and it sounds like it should be pretty good.

Does anybody read Echo? Is that the sort of thing we're allowed to discuss here? The story sounds intriguing but when I've flipped through it the art is pretty underwhelming.

I just read the Un-Men vol.1 and I cant believe I've missed out on this. I never read swamp thing either and I'm aware of how much iIve lost out on that. But Un-Men is awesome and I wish it went past vol.2, which I haven't read yet. I've been really excited about Northlanders and I've finally caught up with that. Sucks it's been cancelled but I'm looking forward to the new volume.

As for Walking Dead, the last one was kind of meh. I think the new one is out tomorrow.

Cool read though.

Is this the same guy who did this?

Legendary Comics has partnered with Frank Miller, the iconic writer and artist of SIN CITY, 300 and THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, to publish HOLY TERROR, a dark, uncompromising superhero tale for the modern era.

In HOLY TERROR, join The Fixer, a brand new, hard-edged hero as he battles terror. The graphic novel is a no-holds-barred action thriller told in Miller’s trademark high-contrast, black-and-white visual style, which seizes the political zeitgeist by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page.

Pretty sure this the alarmist Batman tale Miller was going to release awhile back -- comes out 9/14!

I kinda liked it in the context of the build up to the "event" happening. Resetting and setting up for the next story arch.

Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol - 10

Madman Atomic #1-4 (download) - 9.5/10

Madman Vol. 1 (also sold as Madman Gargantua vol. 1, includes Madman #1-3 and Madman Adventures #1-3) - 8.5/10
Fun.

Echo #1-4 (download) - 7/10
I like where the story is going, the character development/relationship stuff is vomit-inducing. Actually really like the art, don't know why I thought it looked boring at first.

X-Men Xenogenesis - 7/10

Good art, shitty coloring, Warren Ellis writes and actually manages to put together an X-Men miniseries that I can read without clawing my eyes out. Not bad.

Also,

Butcher Baker, the Righteous Maker - 8/10 so far. Art is sort of Sienkiewicz lite (but in a good way), story has a good premise, but needs to start doing something with it.

Ultimate Thor: 8/10

Not half bad, really. As mainstream comics go, Marvel's Ultimate line is still one of the few things I can take halfway seriously (though Jeph Loeb sure is trying his damnedest to sink the ship), and Hickman actually does a decent job here. I've seen him try eon-spanning epics before in his creator-owned books where he pretty much fell flat on his face, but this is a lot better thought out, maybe because it's an origin story, so he had to know where he was going, or maybe just because someone like him actually benefits from editorial interference.

Ultimatum ruined the Ultimate line for me forever. Fuck Jeph Loeb. He's been a joke for years now.

bwahahaha.....the beard hunter looks awesome. My life story is finally being told.

Yeah, but this is Thor's origin, so it's set way before that and Hickman actually managed to come up with something that would've blended with Millar's original Ultimates run fairly well.

By the way, Millar's back at Ultimate Marvel and trying to salvage what he can. It's really kind of funny because you can tell he's pissed at what Loeb's done to the characters. There's a scene in Avengers vs New Ultimates where someone asks Thor why he's suddenly talking like a normal person and he says something like Tony Stark offered to donate a couple million bucks to whatever charity Thor wanted if he'd knock off the retarded Shakespeare shit. And in Millar's Ultimate Avengers, the Avengers are the badass black ops team now, and the Ultimates are basically pointless strawmen that only exist for PR purposes.
