Waiting for Image Plus next week for #1 previews before deciding what series to start.

Switching to digital + TPB on Kill Or Be Killed. It's hard to find time to read floppies whereas my iPad is with me everywhere.

That head looper cover though....nice!

[TotalSnorefest]

Angelic has a good premise imo! "Think WALL-E by way of Watership Down." Yup, I'm interested.

Also kinda curious about Retcon, sounds like a very metatextual narrative.

That head looper cover though....nice!

Yeah looks fantastic!

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

Definitely:
GASOLINA #1 - Sounds interesting, and I dig the art.
THE REALM #1 - Sounds cool and I'm looking for some nice fantasy. Though citing "X-Men" as a past work... that means nothing xD
RETCON #1 - I might try this just for that solicitation. So long as there's more to it than just taking the piss out of the big two and doesn't overdo that, if that's even relevant to the actual comic. What I'm saying is don't be the comic equivalent of Devolver Digital's 2017 E3 conference and drag a good joke through the mud.
ELSEWHERE #2 - Excited for this series and I'm really digging the art.
ETERNAL EMPIRE #5 - Series hasn't done anything for me so far and I'm not keen on the fire powers thing, but Vaughn and Luna have earned at least two arcs from me. Everything Luna does is generally a slow burn anyway (lol, accidental pun). Also, that cover looks OFF. I think it's the girl (I can't remember their names for crap).
KILL OR BE KILLED #12
SNOTGIRL #7

ROYAL CITY, VOL. 1: NEXT OF KIN TP - I've heard good things about this series, but I'm not a fan of Lemire's art. Still, deserves a go, because when Lemire's good, he's REALLY good.
FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE TP - This sounds dope, and when Fraction's good he's amazing, so why not?



Maybe:
SCALES & SCOUNDRELS #1 - This sounds insanely generic and the art isn't doing anything for me, but, again, looking for a good fantasy ongoing.
DESCENDER #24
GLITTERBOMB: THE FAME GAME #1 - First arc was okay, but I don't feel the need to read more. Also, Zub citing Uncanny Avengers... his run hasn't started, I'm pretty sure! Also, Wayward did nothing for me past its first issue. If these are his great works, um... eh? I could've sworn he was known for something else before Wayward.
KILL THE MINOTAUR #4 - Have the first issue but haven't read it yet. I read SOME of the ashcan and I THINK I liked it? Can't remember.
YOUNGBLOOD #5 - This series has done nothing for me aside from some decent art (and it's not even that good). The concept of a superhero app is interesting and it does SOME decent things with social media, but it also throws new characters everywhere just like the old series, and has this weird expectation of people knowing ANYTHING about the original Youngblood, because it props them up as the great figures like they were Luke, Leia and Han and this was The Force Awakens! The next issue is probably the last chance I'm giving it to grab me.

BUZZKILL TP - Not a huge Donny Cates fan, but this sounds kinda interesting and I like most Mark Waid's work, so I might give it a go.
LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME, VOL. 1 TPB - Sounds kinda interesting, if kinda stupid. But I have no clue who Tocchini is (did he do the bad Uncanny X-Force series? Because I don't remember him from Remender's run) and Remender is more miss than hit with me.





Random thoughts:

Since when does 'rising star' have a hyphen?

Lol, Dying and the Dead. Is anyone who wants to read it NOT trade-waiting it by this point?

Ah! **** you, Cates! Me no like buuuuuugs!!!!!!

Jeez, that fucking Rose variant... Well, Finch wears it on his sleeves, I'll give him that.

I know nothing about Savage Dragon, but I never thought of it as something that got political. Huh.

Man, Spy Seal's art is just... it looks unfinished, even with that cartoony style is's going for.

Wait, Image+ has original stuff from popular series?! Um... hope I haven't missed anything.

[Tayne Japal]

I'll probably check out Angelic, The Realm, and Gasolina. I'll trade wait Glitterbomb Fame Game.

[DanMad1977]

@fuzzy Babarien: Savage Dragon always had politics inside. It had a big Obama issue and Dragon fought Osama once and much more. Still, first and foremost its a mature Superhero book.

If you're looking for a good fantasy comic, I'd recommend you check out Birthright.

[Exciter]

Seconded. I love Birthright.

Trade-waiting it... well, OHC-waiting it. I read the first six or so issues when they came out, but it felt kinda slow and the Mikey being evil thing wasn't something I was interested in at the time.
