I picked up a couple of copies. Shop I go to ordered 50 and is almost out.

Yeah, I throw alot of my biz to Image, and I grew up a Marvel guy. Marvel needs to shuffle the deck somehow and bring readers back.

Is that issue even worth getting? ~ It is imo. I'm down to around 10 books per month and this is one of the best. That is a good cover. Still enjoying the series.

Amazing. I've been tempted to buy the subsequent prints.

Currently for me: Flash Wonder Woman Titans Aquaman Batgirl (Like the art) Action Comics (Still half interested) Detective (Barely interested) Justice League (Wanted to like it but didn't get it) Superman (Not interested)

I liked it to. Oddly enough, the art has kinda grown on me. I didn't immediately think "Dang that's awesome art", but I've found myself appreciating it more.

Yeah, me to.

For sure. I am not saying it is bad art, I just don't like squinting at every panel. I enjoy the writing enough to keep reading so maybe it will grow on me. The art has grown on me, and the writing has been great! (thumbs u

Got a shout out to me printed in the end of the latest issue. My contest entry was the one that didn't stand a chance, (getting none of the 5 right)! but I thought I'd have a little fun with it. The entry was from Topher X

Chatted with Remender at one of the San Diego Cons. Nice guy.

Before I opened this thread I automatically thought of my interaction with BWS, and lo and behold, your post was about him as well. I have met a ton of creators in my life, and he was hands down the biggest horse's I have come into contact with. It was at Heroes Con about 25 years ago and there weren't any other attendees at his table. He had a sign on his table that stated he would sign 3 books only, which is not a problem with me. I walked up with my 3 books and stood there as he had a conversation with someone to his right, (another creator). I waited, and I waited, and he continued to ignore me. I was patient and chose to not be rude by attempting to interrupt him by saying hello. He had not yet looked at me, but then spoke in my direction without looking in my direction. He said "I will sign 3 books and 3 books only." He had not looked to see that I had 3 books on the table. He pulled the books over, while continuing his conversation with the other creator, his head still turned to the right. He signed the 3 books and did not try to make eye contact with me...did not speak to me, acted like I was not even there. Once they were signed he put down his marker and continued his conversation. I had to reach over and get the books myself. He did not look at me once. Let me just say that I no longer own the books as I could care less. Most creators are truly grateful and considerate of their fans, but BWS truly feels he is above his. I actually had the ignore routine done on me to. The artist was charging $20 for quick sketches. Not sure if he was in some sort of sketch zone cause he wasn't saying anything, but he did stop to talk to a writer who had walked up to the table while he was doing my sketch. Right after that, the artist started talking to a guy who had just arrived at his booth. He seemed to finish up the sketch in a hurry and then apologized and said that the guy he was talking to was his boss. And I'm like thinking, "sorry to bother ya dude with my $20. I'll let ya catch up with your boss" , needless to say I wasn't impressed.

Yeah, it was pretty good. I hadn't heard some of the hype, so I probably wasn't as disappointed. The afterword was an interesting read on Remender's Low creation and his writing a character who's an eternal optimist.

I think he's currently on vacation, but yeah my copy also showed up with a major dinged corner. Oh well, going to read them all to shreds anyway. Good point! I'm sure I'll be reading it a ton to.

My machine gun Megan! (thumbs u Only downer was that my copy got a small ding/dent on the bottom half of the front cover. Maybe it's damage from the Eraser! Emailed Matt about paying extra for some padding for Vol. 4. No response yet. Postal service out here to So. Cal. is not so good.

Cool sketch! (thumbs u Mine should be in today.
