Don't forget Action Comics
As far as I know, the Action Comics delays are from the Adam Kubert side of things.
It got better after the first issue, not stellar, but better.

According to wiki it is still on going, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm either way? I really enjoyed the first two hardcovers, and I've been patiently waiting for the next one... going to be pretty bummed if it never does!
HEY LOOK WWH!
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
Can you give me a list of Star Wars trades I should pick up? I'm a huge fan of Star Wars but never really read any of the comics, besides Dark Empire and a couple of the Droids ones. I'm also a big Wedge fan so which Rogue Squadron books should I get?
I don't even understand how some of this stuff works. Doesn't anyone have contracts or deadlines any more? Do they just have a "Hey, whenever you can do a new issue that would be neat." agreement?

Of course there are deadlines... but that dosent mean they get met, and if the people who are the cause of the delay are also the the people whose name sells the book, they arent gonna say "fuck you" and replace them, because not only will no one buy those issues but now they pissed off someone who might still make them money in the future.
But no, we only get book 1. Damn it. I want a movie now, too.
Please tell me this cover isnt for real

Edit: mind you, I preferred GI Joe when they were Action Force.
It is real. That is the Dreadnok Buzzer, chasing Mutt's dog Junkyard.
...
I think I have that issue somewhere. I collected GI Joe comics for a long time, starting when I was about 5.
For example when Reed saves Galactus. Even though Galactus at the time was a bad guy, and not the essential force of nature that we know he is now. Could it be reasonable to assume that at the time Reed sorta knew what he was doing? Or did he just get lucky?

So tomorrow I am going to visit my Girlfriend and becuase she works at Borders she get's a 33% discount.
I'm looking to pick up some Green Lantern Books so I can be caught up on it when the GLC/Sinestro Corps event comes to Trade, but I don't know where to begin. Can somone help me?
An ironic name, considering that, in the cartoon (and origin stories in the comics, I believe) all the bad guys in G.I. Joe had east European accents, while all the good guys all had american accents, except for the red headed irish guy who was obsessed with fire.
My understanding is that it's not a dead book, but they are probably still trying to line up the creative team to start it back up. That Hyperion vs. Nighthawk mini was probably to test the waters, and Ultimate Power was in the works before the book was cancelled. If we're lucky, one of the projects that Marc Guggenheim mentioned but wouldn't name is a relaunch of the series.
Anally.
It's actually kind of a nice surprise to find a new issue every few months.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
And how is it cost effective for a mercenary like Diamondback to use diamonds as weapons?
And why did Nick Fury go into hiding again? There's mention of arrest warrants, but what did he do exactly that was illegal?
You'd be shamed into hiding, too, if you were responsible for Secret War.
I actually don't think there's much more to him. I have the Official Handbook, so I could check...but it's in a box upstairs. I believe he has a kid, is about the only other interesting thing I remember.
She probably uses synthetic diamond-like-things that are cheap to make, but wouldn't be mistaken for diamonds by anyone that would be buying them. Again...she's in that Handbook somewhere. >.>
Well, if this was recent...Fury should be considered a super-human since he has that Infinity Formula keeping him youthful. Plus all of his training. So if he opposed the registration, that's probably why. Or maybe it was something to do with Secret War or Identity Disk or whatever. I didn't even pretend to keep up with those.
And I'm not really concerned with whether or not he's telling the truth on the last part, because the last few issues of Cap have been pretty fantastic, leading me to believe that he's at least come to terms with it enough to tell a good story.
I wish Cap had had more time to talk to Bucky, though.
And I like Sin a lot.
Honestly i think Bru is the best writer at Marvel right now, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Cap have all been legendary recently. Even Uncanny wasnt half bad
Also the fact that he says he has 2+ years worth of stories to tell without Cap already planned out leads me to think this was not an editorial mandate.
As for why Nick Fury went underground: Bendis' Secret War mini is the storyline where he leaves and explains the reasons why.
Was Secret War as bad a mini as the panning it gets on this forums suggests, or is a lot of it bitterness at the failure of its release (five issues in 21 months seems pretty awful)?
In and of itself it's a pretty good story, and the painted art is lovely.
I think it was the fact that he disobeyed direct orders from the president, lied to a bunch of superheros in order to get them to essentially invade a foreign country, then wiped thier memories of the event after it happaned. Then the reprisal almost destroyed New York and almost killed Luke Cage.
I quite enjoyed it, but I read it in trade format well after the fact, so I was untainted by how late it was getting it out.
Unless it's a special circumstance (Ultimate Nick Fury) do not use famous celebrities as models for heroes, it looks pretty silly.
