Currently reading “I Am An Avenger vol ii”.

Batman omnibus by Snyder, no idea what to expect
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Great art by Capullo, a lot of monologues (like, a LOT), secrets long buried that have come to light and will change everything over and over, mech suits a-plenty, and storylines that start out promising but tend to not quite stick the landing (in my opinion of course). There’s a lot of stuff to like in his writing, but reading them all together I found myself not quite as enamored as many others are, unfortunately. When he first burst onto the comics scene I loved his work, and still hold Black Mirror, his first Batman story, in high regard. Curious to see how you feel about it all!
I’ve reached Phase 2 in my IDW Transformers read-a-thon. If it stays as good as the opening arc of Robots in Disguise, I am psyched to read the rest.
Critically acclaimed and amazing art by Capullo (he really worked hard to change his style for this run and it shows) but I just can't stand Snyder's writing. Stuck with the title until the big Joker arc and then rage quit. It tries so hard to be dark and moody and then pulls so many stupid and unbelievable stunts...
Snyder was the first sign for me that showed I might not really care for Batman and Tom King was the last nail in the coffin.

Finished the fourth Perfect Edition of Naoki Urasawa's Monster and I WANT TO CONTINUE BUT I ONLY HAVE 4 VOLUMES! AHHH!!
Still Slowly reading Doom Patrol Silver Age omnibus. I got to the part where the comic starts to be called The Doom Patrol. I'm just waiting for the weird stuff to start.
But now that I can't continue with Monster, I think I'll start Stray Bullets.
Currently reading Ninjak Deluxe Edition Vol 1. I enjoyed the first two parts but the last has been uneven. Too bad it’s gonna be next to impossible to get Vol 2 considering the obscene prices. Valiant does such limited print runs so it’s a shame so much of their stuff can go OOP quickly. I want to get the XO Manowar Deluxe Editions but very difficult to get a good deal on them. They were supposed to have a compendium come out but I can’t find it anywhere.
