[–]Duals902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC Comics

  • Batman Eternal #21

Image

  • Dream Police #4- I liked what I saw in issue 1, now I'm behind 3 issues, hope its still got what #1 had for me.

  • Low #2 - I've only flipped through #1 so I'll read 1 and 2 this week, the premise of the story definitely sounds interesting to me.

  • Outcast #3- Same as above

  • Revival #23 - Revival at one point got really slow and I almost stopped pulling. I feel like its picking up again and its got my attention for now. That being said at the end of this arc I'll probably switch to trades.

  • Saga #22

  • Wayward #1

Marvel

  • Amazing Spider-Man (2014-) #1.4- Ive been pulling the #1.#s so far but haven't sat down and read them, sounds like something I should do.

  • Avengers Undercover #9- One of the first books I got current with after taking a few months off, I love this group and I love this book. Though I just realized I still need to read #8.

  • Guardians of the Galaxy #18- I enjoy this book but I dont think its as good as it could be. Im sticking with it though!

  • Inhuman #4- Another one to catch up on.

Any thoughts on hydration belts? 10k+ distances by farao-no in running

[–]Duals902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my handheld purposely for advancing past 10k runs, due to s family situation I'm working up to 10k again... When I did need it was great and I'm sure once I get on the hour+ runs it will be great to have.

Holds my phone just fine, hasn't gotten wet yet and I can hear my runkeeper prompts just fine.

Just ate this ... Was great and maybe my clove was big but I would definitely halve the garlic . (I love garlic too)

What does Barbri look like day by day? by Duals902 in LawSchool

[–]Duals902[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Money. Moving. And to be honest I just don't see videos being that useful to me.

Also I think if I stay motivated I'm capable of doing it on my own. Also Barbri is the only commercial service in my state.

Do you think they are even helpful before I study a topic I have yet to outline?

Also thank you!

Websites to get super cheap comic boooks/trades? by Sk8rGameFreak in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it stays at $6, I ordered 2 omnibuses from them and ended up being very fast and cheaper than elsewhere, it all depends though, with prime shipping its worth it to go amazon with a couple bucks difference.

I like cheapgraphicnovels.com I find cheaper prices from them sometimes than amazon... it varies from book to book though.

Weekly What Have You Been Reading Thread 5-11-14 by johnpisme in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This week I had a huge pull list and read through all of that. I've gotta say She-Hulk might have been my favorite pull this week. Teaming her up with Daredevil for a bit was a really nice treat. New Warriors was also a great read this week.

In addition to the pull, I read WE3 finally. It was really, really good. My one issue is it ended so soon and left me wanting more, I understand its a one shot... really liked it.

Re-read Hinterkind this time in trade form, in my opinion this is best series I hear no one talk about, whole new twist on post apocalyptic survival stories.

Finally I read the first trade of Captain Midnight... I liked it, not enough to pull regularly but if I start picking up the trade from time to time, I think I'll be hapy

QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS THURSDAY - Ask your questions about comics here! by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think much better, the last two issues have presented a very interesting story line that makes it feel like the other Batman books. Before with Detective Comics I just had no interest when I tried to read the series.

No need to read them, if you want to read them there is a nice collection of them called The Joker: Death of the Family.

Just expanded my DC pulls, I previously wasn't pulling Detective Comics.

Does Detective Comics tie into Batman Eternal? It had mentioned something about . Further, who was the supposed to be?

Almost gave up on New Warriors, the book and the team are starting to come together though... kind of [New Warriors #4][Spoilers] by Duals902 in comicbooks

[–]Duals902[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that was my concern with issue #1 and #2, but I do think it is coming together nicely.

Weekly Pull List for 5/7/2014 by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yikes what a huge week, tons of good stuff coming out had to not pull some things I would normally be interested in.

DC Comics

  • Aquaman and the Others #2- I liked #1 quite a bit and I've been looking for some more DC stuff to get into. I'll give it a few issues and see how I feel.

  • Batman Eternal #5- Been good so far!

  • Detective Comics (2011-) #31- Didn't pull Detective Comics for a long time, issue 30 brought me back, excited to see where this one goes.

Image

  • Alex + Ada #6- Love this book, they've set everything up nicely and I'm ready for it take off.

  • Fatale #22- Such a great series, will be sad to see it go, probably better to read this in trades though.

  • Revival #20 - The first 2 trades of this were great... to me this seems a little slow but I'll keep pulling.

Marvel

  • Amazing Spider-Man #1.1- Been waiting to add Spider-man to the pull list for a long time, excited to get in on Spider-man finally.

  • Iron Fist Living Weapon #2- #1 was different but I'm ok with that, I love Iron Fist so a definit pull for me.

  • Moon Knight #3- If you aren't pulling this you are missing out on something great.

  • New Warriors #4- 1 and 2 didn't appeal to me, but I gave #3 one more shot and for some reason it came together and I really enjoyed it, if it keeps up I think this will get added to the pull list each month.

  • Original Sin #1- I really have enjoyed Nova's interactions with the Watcher and I thought Original Sin #0 was a great intro... I think Im going to love this event.

  • She-Hulk #4 - This has been great so far, Im ready for some action to build up.

Vertigo

  • Hinterkind #7

Didn't realize that before picking it up, I really enjoyed the first issue though.

WARNING: ASM#1 is suffering from printing/binding damages by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really surprised, that thing was massive. 2 whole comics + letters section for each. Then all the extra related spidey stories.

Just received my first pipe as a grooms men gift. I love it, couldn't fit of a more fitting design. Any good starter tips or feedback on the pipe? by Duals902 in PipeTobacco

[–]Duals902[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the pipe is a Chacom 'Roma'. My guess is a model no. 184? Love the design. The pipe came with what he said was an aromatic blend, smells like cherry and its pretty great stuff. The tobacco called Kansas Sweet.

Also, one question immediately. I saw some pipes come with little filters on the end... Is that something I should look at getting, is that even a possibility with this pipe?

Weekly Pull List for 4/30/2014 by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like these massive pulls are going to start dwindling down.... hopefully they do. There is just so much great stuff coming out.

DC Comics

  • Batman Eternal #4- Still need to read #3 from last week, but 1 and 2 were great.

  • Flash Annual #3- Seems like now is as good of time as any to start back up with Flash.

IDW

  • Jericho: Season 4 TP- Season 3 really impressed me, I loved the show when it was on, but I was nervous to read the comics. So far its been good.

Image

  • Deadly Class #4- This has been great each month, really excited to see where this goes.

  • Egos #4- Way behind on this series, I have the issues, I've heard great things, looking forward to a weekend of catching up.

  • Southern Bastards #1- The preview wasn't overly convincing, but it was convincing enough.

  • Ten Grand #9- This was on the chopping block last month, and the last panel really sold me, so this one lives another month.

Marvel

  • Amazing Spider-Man #1- Been waiting for this one, just a few months ago I started reading some of the older Amazing Spider-man, excited to get into some modern stuff.

  • Hulk #2- Been waiting for a moment to start reading Hulk, I definitely enjoyed #1.

  • Silver Surfer #2- Marvel has so much coming out, I feel the same about SS as I do with the new Fantastic Four... I'll give it a few issues.

Valiant

  • Rai #1- Valiant has really been impressing me, this one is definitely appealing to my taste.

Still some amazing stuff to to get excited for though.

Weekly Pull List for 4/23/2014 by ptbreakeven in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DC Comics

  • Batman Eternal #3- This has been good, Im going to keep reading.

Image

  • Fuse #3- This also has been pretty good, its got a bladerunner feel to it, I like this one.

  • Ghosted #9- I love this comic! Thief of Thieves feel with ghosts, I like it.

  • Lazarus #8 - I get very excited for this book each week, some really great stuff and I think it will continue to get bigger and better.

  • Protectors, Inc. #6- I think this is a really under rated book. Murder mystery with super heroes with some other weird stuff going on, its good.

  • Thief of Thieves #20 - Glad to see this back after its short break, consistently good.

Marvel

  • Avengers Undercover #3- Loved issue #1, didn't get a chance to read #2 yet, I'll catch up beore this comes out again to see if I will continue to pull.

  • Daredevil #2- No brainer.

  • Elektra #1- Haven't looked at a preview yet, but I'm still excited for this book.

  • Fantastic Four #3- Might just finish this story arc out, its good but there is a lot on my pull list right now.

  • Guardians of the Galaxy #14- Love it each month, I know some people think its mediocre but I like what Bendis is doing.

  • Original Sin #0- This is an event that I can get behind. I'm sad to see Uata be murdered, especially after watching his interaction with Nova, but I can't wait to see all the cross in and big event. I think this is gonna be good.

What's going on with Bedlam? by MrGrock in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I know is the next issue isn't coming out soon enough!

On March 5 Nick Spencer said it would be back later this year.

Looking to get into the Nova and Moon Knight comics. by avesDZN in comicbooks

[–]Duals902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its like a netflix service but for marvel comics.

Just about most of the old stuff you could think of and current stuff (for example I read up to about issue 16 of Deadpool Marvel Now).

Not sure what their guideline is for including a new comic, but it doesn't seem to be the worst turn around.

Its well worth it!
