A total screw up by Titan Comics means I won't be getting the new UK Superman comic as it just won't be worth the hassle.

This has also lead to giving up totally once my current subscriptions end (Both Batman comics and 'League). The Batman comics are just totally Grant Morrison-style now; great central hook, not a clue how to live up to the potential. Oh, and if we can just get back to straightforward story arcs instead of making everything meta, that'd be great :roll:

I can't even read mainstream Marvel comics now they're so obsessed with crossover events. You forget the significance of what you're reading just between two comics never mind any more. And that's before they try to make stars out of their third stringers while you're wondering which of the ten Hulks you're actually reading about... How did it get to this level of FAIL? :(

And how many Avengers comics do they put out each month?!

Avengers, Avengers Arena, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, etc.

I know, you can't even claim it's a consequence of the film they've been at it so long. I'd love to know who the hell buys them all!

Ryan Reynolds updates on the Deadpool movie

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/ryan-reyn ... pool-movie

Tough to get a handle on that one in every sense.
...


The new Avengers cartoon somewhat based on the film appears on American TV, Sunday. Details abound if you wanna go looking ;)

Sheffield artist uses comics worth £20,000 for artwork

Quote:
An artist who made a papier-mache sculpture from comics he found in a skip has found they could have been sold for about £20,000. Comic fan Steve Eyre told artist Andrew Vickers the pages pasted to a leg were from a first edition of The Avengers. Mr Eyre said the 1963 release, along with other rare comics used to create the artwork were worth thousands.

The sculpture, called Paperboy, was created for an exhibition at Sheffield gallery the S1 Artspace.


More here.

War breaks out across the DC Universe


Justice League's only on issue 23 IIRC... and they wonder why a major film does nothing for comic sales? Dicks.
