So I know it's early in the season, but what does everyone think of the comicbook shows we have so far? Flash, Arrow, SHIELD, Gotham?

I'm behind because of college things... So I've only seen the first two eps of SHIELD season two... But! It's definitely better than the first half of the first season. I can watch some more tomorrow night, maybe?

EDIT: Okay, I'm not always busy with college things, but it's Harry Potter week on ABC Family and I've been watching it with a friend.

Totally should, because Flash is really good so far. Same with Arrow.

I've missed a bit of episodes of each aside from AoS. All are great so far although Gothams first episode was weak imo, too many shoutouts in one episode

I finally got a chance to watch The Flash premiere. I liked it, but it was a bit weird at first because I expected it to feel like Arrow, but it doesn't. That's probably good, though, since Barry and Oliver are pretty different people. I wasn't a huge fan of Iris in this episode, but she left a better first impression than Laurel, so I'll be optimistic.

So far Iris is much better than Laurel mostly because she actually has something to do.

It's not hard to be better than Laurel. They just have to be an actual character.

GUYS. GO READ MULTIVERSITY: PAX AMERICANA. I mean, you should be reading all the Multiversity issues, but especially this one. This is like Grant Morrison remixing Watchmen in modern times with Blue Beetle, Question, Captain Atom. It's thick, dense, smart, requires multiple reads (not always in the same order) and wonderful. It's just. AWW MAN.

Also has art by Frank Quitely, who is the fucking man.

Eyo, you neeeeeeerds, I played The Wolf Among Us and it persuaded me to try the comics (Fables) but I've never read comics before and have always been super confused by something:


How in the fuck do you read long-running comics? Like, the collection I put on my Christmas list to see if I like it has issues 1-10 (~250 pages).

There are 150 issues.

What.

Are you supposed to read them all.

How.

What is this.

I don't understand.

Yeah, pretty much you get the collected trades. Those usually just collect one story arc at a time. Then there's like, omnibuses and deluxe editions. Like, Fables has 21 trade volumes collecting the whole story up to now (I think they're all around 10 to 15 bucks on Amazon Prime, probably cheaper on InStockTrades) and then 10 deluxe editions that also collect the whole story.

Or you could be one of the crazies and collect every single issue one by one.

I've yet to see the midseason finales of Arrow or Flash, but man Season Two of AoS has just been so amazing. I've pretty much guessed where they were heading with that for awhile now, but

Spoiler: click to toggle


The flash and arrow crossovers were good, but the second was a lot better. My fiance feels the Flash would do better if it had a darker tone, but with Barry still the way he is because of the episode, and I kinda agree.

That being said, why must both Laurel and the other girl be such bland characters? It's not like all the female characters on these shows are terrible (especially not felicity), but it seems like they really don't want you to care about the main love interest.



I also currently have Ms. Marvel #1-7 and #9. I've been waiting for #8 and #10 comes in this Wednesday, but I wanted to post a picture with all in order, but it's been so long since I ordered #8 I figured I'd just post something. I've got them pulled so I can get the new one each month.


Also LAD, Atlantis is even less intimidating now. They put up a big wall between the comic section and gaming section, so you can go in there and look at comics all you want with little worry of even seeing another person in that section half the time. Also I've gotten a lot of help from the workers on ordering comics and stuff like that, so is definitely give it a shot again if I were you
