Bombshells
Midnighter
Starfire
Gotham Academy
Marvel is still in the midst of Secret Wars, its best big event crossover in years. Most of it is worth picking up although there are definitely titles to avoid (WHERE MONSTERS DWELL). In October they are beginning their All-New All-Different Marvel relaunch, relaunching every series they have over the course of a few months with an 8-month time skip between the end of Secret Wars and the #1s. A lot of it looks really cool!
Image is doin' cool shit as always, you should probably read Image stuff.
I have obtained intel from a reliable source that my family is planning a surprise birthday party for me. They are aware that Dr. Doom is my favorite comic book villain, and I think they're going to take me to the F4 premier.
On a strictly unrelated topic, does anyone have any practical experience in faking their own death? Particularly in ways that could be implemented before this Friday? My interest is... purely academic, of course!

Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan
Shit, I'd go see the movie if someone else is paying
If the only cost was money, I'd agree. But there's also a cost in an hour and forty minutes minimum of precious Birthday time wasted, and in memory space allocated with no conventional option for purging, and especially in the social pressure of pretending that I'm grateful for the gift, until I can't take it any more and vomit nerd-lore all over my family about how that was a pitiful, unworthy mockery of the true majesty of DOOM, a wretched FARCE that can NOT COMPARE to his GLORY AND MIGHT, how DARE THEY, THOSE IGNORANT IMBECILES, THOSE CRAVEN SAVAGES, THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THAT THEY THUS SLANDERED LATVERIA'S SUPERNAL SOVEREIGN, MARK MY WORDS, THE SKIES WILL THUNDER WITH THE TORMENTED WAILS OF DOOM'S ENEMIES WHEN AT LAST THE DAY OF VENGEANCE IS AT HAND, RICHARDS!!! RIIIIICHAAAAARDSSSS!!!!!
And then we'll have cake & ice cream, and it will all be hella awkward, I just know it.

You're going to blame Miles Teller for this movie being bad, aren't you.
Just remember that a gift is more about recognizing that the giver thought of you than the content of the gift. Take it as acceptance by the family and an opportunity to spend time with them.

It didn't dawn on me until recently that since The Flash show people have talked about bringing in other Flashes and because Wally is related to Iris, we could maybe see the first time Flash is presented as a black dude?

So, I'm having half-formed arguments about why the DC live-action stuff is shit. I have Batman: the brave and the bold as a counter to Goyer and Snyder.
What are the most loved Superman, Batman and suicide squad comics?
All-star Superman is obvious. What are other Superman comics?
Morrison and Scott Snyder have done great things with Batman. How accessible are those?
What about suicide squad?

Court of Owls is one of my favorite Batman stories of all time.
Good lord. I feel like I need to apprise him of my safeword.

That Vandal Savage is legit man, holy fuck. Also apparently Stephen Amell is going to be on WWE Raw next Monday. Even as someone who isn't a wrestling fan, it'd be rad as fuck to see him come out in his new Green Arrow costume.

Bombshells is a digital first comic. I think they're $1 an issue (for the digital issues, not the collected ones)?
They are! Awesome!
