Invincible 89, still awesome. The stuff with Dinosaurus was very funny. If Invincible was published weekly I don't think I'd need any other comics in my life :lol:

That's where the series got really good and it has been good since then. My favorite stuff is probably the Viltrumite War stuff and some of the one off stories.

Let us know if this is any good. I was thinking about picking this up but wasn't sure if the walking dead as a novel would be any good.

Marvel Special Edition #15 - 1st appearance of Shang Chi.

This was actually pretty good. I think Shang Chi might be my next Marvel Mancrush after Spidey, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Hawkeye and Iron Man.

Just finished reading:

Mass Effect: Invasion #1-4: An entertaining read that is a lead into Mass Effect 3.

Kirby: Genesis #0-4 A fun series although with a lot going on.

Kirby: Genesis-Silver Star #1-2 A good start and interesting series.

'Breed III #1-7 Other than #6 this is was a total disappointment.

My 8 yo son and I read the first TPB of Usagi Yojimbo for the first time and we both enjoyed and I'm glad that Stan Sakai has had so much success with it.

Amen. Invincible and Chew would cover all my needs.

#89 was most excellent. I have no idea what Thragg was talking about, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Read the first 4 issues of both Aquaman and Flash. All I can say is, I won't be dropping these like I thought I might. For the first time in years, the characters seem fresh. Loved GJ's work on Flash, but I think Manapul could end up doing a legendary run. As for Aquaman...it's not a popular thing to say, but this could be the best the character has been since Peter David's first two years, back in the Time & Tide days.

I love how the new Flash looks but there are some story choices that have me worried. Not stuff you've quite come to yet. Manapul is slowly reassuring me though. I'd be interested to hear Tim's thoughts on the new Flash, you out there dude?

Just got back from the store with a hefty haul. Aquaman 5 & 6. REALLY loving that series. Flash 5 & 6...like you, I'm in wait and see mode but not worried. Justice League 5 & 6, which look like they could be good. I am enjoying that one, too. Fairest # 1, which should be fun. Green Arrow 6 & 7, which I'm not sure I will stick with for much longer, but I'm gonna give the new team their first arc to sell me on the book. Also...Red Lanterns #7. As a "family" of books, GL is tough to beat. I really wonder if the end of # 7 is for real or if it is only a "flesh wound" :o

Just read #89 and thought it was great. After the viltrumite war i felt like it went through a little bit of a lull for, but it has been awesome lately. Gotta know what Thragg meant?!

Just read both of those runs myself about a year ago, and I agree with you synopsis. Demon in a Bottle was kind of cheesy and tame by today's standards, still a fun read though. Simonson's Thor is amazing.

Yeah I really enjoyed that 1st issue this week, definitely something to give another few issues too. Hell Yeah was a little dissapointing though, did you read that?

I passed on Hell Yeah. The concept seemed interesting, but the preview art hurt my eyes.

Yeah it wasn't good to look at and it was pretty cliched inside.
