Neat cover!

Justice League vs Suicide Squad starts next week.

Nice! I ended up picking up #0 of Inhumans vs. X-Men too, as well as #1. by the way. I'll let you know what I think of the series when they come. Hopefully the Christmas post doesn't delay them coming until after Christmas.

Anyone notice how Injustice is kind of a ripoff of Kingdom Come?

I've not read either. I've played the Injustice game, but couldn't tell you what the plot of it was.

...

Also I wanted to plug Guardians Of The Galaxy #15 as a great jumping-on point for the series.



It's actually really cool as the Guardians are stuck on Earth and issue #15 here starts the new story and focuses on The Thing along w/ flashbacks to his FF days and then ties into the new Infamous Iron Man series where Doctor Doom has decided to become a good guy, which seems suspicious of course.

any of you guys read any of The Pulse?



^I read the first volume ("Thin Air," or issues 1-5) and I thought it was awesome. It's like mashing Jessica Jones up with Spider-Man, which is great if you ask me.

I predict by 2020 there will be an issue #-1 of something.

I predict there by the year 1993 there will be an issue #-1 of Cable.

So my prediction was accurate.

maybe some of you dudes can help me w/ some old comics suggestions. Specifically, from the 90's. I'm compiling a chronological list of 90's comics I want to go back and read or re-read. Here's the thing, though... I want them to be in the form of trade paperback compilations (NOT big huge hardcover omnibus books) or single graphic novels. And I want them to be 'important' or worth reading for some specific reason. Basically, I'm trying to create some kind of 90's comics syllabus for myself for the upcoming year.

So far I have a tentative list of MARVEL stuff put together. Which I'll list below. There's also probably another dozen or more Marvel titles I came up with that I feel like maybe aren't all that necessary right now. But maybe I missed something that y'all think I should add to this reading list.

Once I nail down the Marvel stuff pretty good, I'll be doing DC (and Image, and others) as well and integrating them into the list in a decent order. But I guess my plan is to try to make it pretty tight and solid so that I don't overwhelm myself or get burnt out.

Anyway, here's what I've come up with so far. Stuff in bold is stuff I definitely want to read. Stuff NOT in bold is stuff I'm unsure of....

Spider-Man: Torment
Elektra Lives Again
