Awesome video, i finished reading night club vol 1 and was pretty good but i havent dropped on vol 2 as yet. Will be picking it up in trades as well as Grommets
Always look forward to watching your most pull list videos. Honestly, I just love seeing those ultimate titles being pulled higher than the regular marvel books. Proven that 6160 titles offer good storytelling, despite how slow paced those books are.
I actually am really enjoying Nyx. Its the book that is most about, the most in conversation with, the Fall of Krakoa and what that means for the mutant population. Which I was a big fan of the Krakoan era as a whole so that's a plus for me and it also has my favorite character in it, Laura Kinney (X-23 / Wolverine). What I think you didn't realize, since I think you dropped it after the first issue, is that it has a rotating pov / main character. Ms. Marvel isn't the main character of the book / the character the story hinges around (not saying she isn't an important character). This issue was about the reintroduction of Kiden Nixon (which was foreshadowed in the 2nd issue of Nyx) the main character of the original Nyx series and one of Laura's first friends. That probably won't mean a lot if you weren't a fan of the character or of Laura Kinney / X-23 specifically, but it was still a really solid issue, imo, that advanced the Mojo plot and had some great art (the colors specifically were really great).
I am 😊 you enjoy NYX and I read the first 2 issues of the book and bought the 3rd and Realized I really didn't enjoy it. Main reason was the characters in the book. The only character I enjoy is Laura and once I knew she was getting her own title again I dropped it.
Good thoughts as usual. So I hear we may be disappointed if we are expecting a big Avenger - X-Men battle. Don't want to spoil it, so that will be all I will say. Black Cat does show up next issue of The Avengers and the issue after that, not sure if she sticks around after that. Black Cat is also showing up in Scarlett Witch in January or February. Loving The Ultimates, one of my top three reads at the moment.
I’m loving Ultimates. Honestly don’t see much else out there that has me hyped so might just pick that one up and try to hunt down some 70s-80s older marvel back issues. Either way happy new comic eve to all!!!
My pull list included Action Comics (it is a better read when things are starting to wrap up/resolve), Absolute Superman #2 (doesn't like it like the other two but it is Superman), Two Face #1 (I need Two-face appearance injection), DC Horror Present #2 (lol the variant)
Absolute Superman is the only Absolute book I’m pulling (didn’t read the others so not saying they’re bad) but I really really enjoyed the first issue excited for this one
I read the Hush 2 preview at the end of JLU #1 and personally I was very underwhelmed by the art. Much the same way JRJR’s art on ASM has become very bland and basic I got those same vibes from Jim Lee’s art. I know it’s only 3 pages but this is the preview that is supposed to sell the book. It definitely lowered my enthusiasm.
It was like 1 character drawing, let's wait for a book at least. Although I do think Lee's art loses something when combined with modern computer coloring techniques. Everything ends up looking so sterile.
@jfmallon75 there you go. I think that’s good call. This current wolverine is filler and written for young teenagers. No substance. I bet ultimate wolverine will be good
For me it felt a little flat and the colors blended in with the characters quite a bit It just might need me to warm up to the series a little bit more that's all we'll see.
I'm not reading anything Jed Mckay, it's a waste of time and money, ever since he didn't deliver on Blood Hunt I feel like most his books have deceiving covers and boring filler stories, like the cover on Avengers #18 had us thinking Hyperion is going to battle the Avengers but it's still about Storm joining the Avengers, then I heard the Avengers don't even fight the X-Men they just hold a lot of conversations in this next issue, dude is total ass on these major titles and I think people are just grabbing them in hopes that they don't miss out on anything cool, I had this title put on my pull list on issue #17 because I thought it would be cool to see Storm in the Avengers not to mention the Blood Hunt Avengers story was decent, but now were going 5 issues in and there was an alright Black Panther solo story and Storm still hasn't done shit lol
You're definitely not wrong I've found that when it comes to team books he definitely struggles with them The one book that I can say that he currently does that is really well is moon night also when he did black cat series they were well done also but again team books he just has a struggle with them
I do feel that Marvel tries to rely too much on the popularity of their movies and TV shows these days. DC put together some great, talented teams for their All In initiative and it's pulling nearly all comic readers to their side. I was all Marvel when I was young but currently read almost nothing by them.
NYX is whack 😆its all about the New Mutants and Generation X 💯🙌🏻💪🏻 I’m curious to see what you think of the JSA as itgoew for another two issues, I might catch up if you still like it!
Yeah it was very interesting There was a lot in the story trying to get you caught up of what was going on but like I said I trust Jeff Lemire so let's hope it will be a solid read in a long term
Awesome video, i finished reading night club vol 1 and was pretty good but i havent dropped on vol 2 as yet. Will be picking it up in trades as well as Grommets
Yeah I hope you enjoy every single page absolutely awesome

Yeah I do like seeing the underdog books take on the big boys
I have been holding strong onto X-Force and Birds of prey. I enjoy both series quite a bit
Happy you are enjoying them.

This might be the week for me to save money.
I’m just gonna say it,I’m excited to read this week’s I Hate Fairyland! I think that Skottie Young is a really good writer as well as a good artist!
I agree with you 100%, that's just one series from him I never really got into
First issue of Batgirl was off the charts for me artwork and story excellent
Same here man!! I'm tuned it for the first arc at least
Well I will give issue to a try and hopefully for me I will enjoy it
Is it just me or am I the only one that noticed he forgot to wipe that booger sugar. 🤣❄️👃🏼 with that schnoz…. 🤣😂 ok that’s all sorry 🤫
Well I definitely didn't notice lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣now I can't unsee it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bumpty bump bump bumpty bump look at frosty go
Kelly and Lanzig on the book, I didn’t expect it to make it to an issue 6.
Well who knows how long that series will last
I’m loving Ultimates. Honestly don’t see much else out there that has me hyped so might just pick that one up and try to hunt down some 70s-80s older marvel back issues. Either way happy new comic eve to all!!!
Yeah ultimate is a lot of fun not last issue was absolutely insane So curious to see where we go from here
My pull list included Action Comics (it is a better read when things are starting to wrap up/resolve), Absolute Superman #2 (doesn't like it like the other two but it is Superman), Two Face #1 (I need Two-face appearance injection), DC Horror Present #2 (lol the variant)
Absolute Superman is the only Absolute book I’m pulling (didn’t read the others so not saying they’re bad) but I really really enjoyed the first issue excited for this one
Glad you enjoyed the first issue I'm excited for the second one
Hey buddy 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
I got issue 1 of the 2nd night club series, but waiting for a trade.
When you do read it I hope you enjoy it It's so good. I thought it was going to go one way and it completely went another
I read the Hush 2 preview at the end of JLU #1 and personally I was very underwhelmed by the art. Much the same way JRJR’s art on ASM has become very bland and basic I got those same vibes from Jim Lee’s art. I know it’s only 3 pages but this is the preview that is supposed to sell the book. It definitely lowered my enthusiasm.
Let's see what happens It's got to be good or people are going to be pissed
It was like 1 character drawing, let's wait for a book at least.

Christmas 365 is gonna be a blast
So I actually looked for it at my shop and I did not see it
Only 2 on my pull list this week. Wolverine #4 & Xmen #8.
Yikes and those are not great
@vicdamon3551 much to the chagrin of my LCS, I will be dropping both in favor of Ultimate Wolverine.
@jfmallon75 there you go. I think that’s good call. This current wolverine is filler and written for young teenagers. No substance. I bet ultimate wolverine will be good
Today is national candle day ❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mark should have kept that price point at a 1.99
Not sure if he could with Dark horse who knows the old story behind it
first issue of batgirl was great, dont understand why you didn't like the art
For me it felt a little flat and the colors blended in with the characters quite a bit It just might need me to warm up to the series a little bit more that's all we'll see.
And national rhubarb vodka day 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

After over 30 years of collecting I've leaned towards DC and independent comics. Marvel is done in my eyes
I do feel that Marvel tries to rely too much on the popularity of their movies and TV shows these days. DC put together some great, talented teams for their All In initiative and it's pulling nearly all comic readers to their side. I was all Marvel when I was young but currently read almost nothing by them.
Especially noticed this myself this year with all the great independent comics.
NYX is whack 😆its all about the New Mutants and Generation X 💯🙌🏻💪🏻 I’m curious to see what you think of the JSA as itgoew for another two issues, I might catch up if you still like it!

Avengers 21 is garbage. Xmen vs Avengers in a baseball game and then eat dinner tigether. Total garbage
