Bought a couple omnibuses from In Stock Trades. Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 and Claremont's X-Men vol. 1. But, I'm mostly just excited for later this year, when they reprint the Amazing Spider-Man vol. 2 omnibus, which starts with the beginning of the Romita era, a.k.a. the definitive era for my favorite character.

 

Did you read the FCBD story? I think there's a good story to tell there with a villain who can seemingly bring back the dead. While comic book resurrection is a tired trope, this feels like it could actually be a good story built around that idea, rather than some random throwaway idea just to bring back a well-liked character.

 

Only what I've read in reviews/synopsis. I just don't even like the idea of seeing these characters again. Having them all at the same time is going to do the whole sensory overload nonsense that I don't care for. I'm going to read it, I'm just not sold on it yet.

 

I was visiting Boston for a graduation over the weekend. I snuck out of the after party because I heard there was a comic book store nearby and I wanted to grab some FCBD stuff. Sadly, they were completely out of the free books when I went at like 3pm. I was pretty bummed.

 

Some asshole walked into my local shop and grabbed 200 copies of the Deadpool FCB day book and walked out. It was so busy nobody noticed until he was long gone. The owner is understandably pissed and will probably change things next year.

He had a buy 2 get one free trade sale (and a bunch of other sales) so I got Papergirls 1, Birthright 1, and Lazarus 1.

 

Seriously what's the point of stealing that?

 

Ordered some stuff.

Batman & Robin #3
Spider-Gwen #1
Babushka #1
Chew #11
Grayson #3
All New Wolverine #1

 

All-New Wolverine's first arc was flawless.

 

If you for some crazy reason you think you can flip them on eBay or something because Deadpool is a popular character maybe?

 

Did the most recent issue have Squirrel Girl? Need to get back into these things!

 

I guess but how much can you truly make off of a comic people know is free everywhere digitally.

 

Who knows? The dude was clearly a dickhead.

 

I believe I found this on reddit, but for anyone here who may be interested, here's a master reading order for every Marvel ad DC event basically. Dropbox - Master Reading Order.xlsx

If for any reason you can't DL, just let me know.

 

Creator Darwyn Cooke Receiving Palliative Care for Aggressive Cancer

 

So this is a recommendation of what order to read everything in?

 

Don't know if you need to read the events necessarily in that order if that's what you mean. But if you expand in Excel it'll show you what issues to read for each separate event and in what order.

 

Ohh gotcha, didnt expand. Thanks!

 

No problem! Took me a minute to figure it out too haha. It's cool that it even has some of the smaller events that only span a handful of issues. Not everything was as massive as Civil War.

 

I was thinking of trying to marvel subscription so this will be a great reference.

 

Yeah, definitely worth it!

 

Oh man, I was wondering why someone would make a list of just the event reading order and not the individual issues within them. Now I feel dumb.

 

Hah no worries, I did the same thing until I actually looked at the numbers of the rows and noticed huge gaps. It was exactly made clear anywhere when I had initially downloaded it.

 

I was just looking at it on the Dropbox site, which doesn't have the option to expand the rows, so I don't feel as bad, haha.

 

Oh yeah there it doesn't hint at it at all! Just where I happened to save it for easy share access so my bad!

 

Darwyn news is such a bummer. His art is top notch.
