Well, the cheapest way is to work for a company that is going to be there. That's what I did. I went, and although the cosplay was amazing as usual. It's not a great place to shop, because there are plenty of vendors in NYC itself that can satisfy all your pop culture needs. It's good if you want like $1 New 52 comics. I managed to find the last few issues of the current Sandman series, and a lot of iZombies.

I Don't think the "work for a company" thing is going to happen so I can toss that suggestion out the window. In anycase I kinda want to go just for the cosplay and to say I went, that and it's also perfect excuse to go and see my friend around that time as well. Comic shopping wise, I'm usually good at just picking up trades and hardcovers from either Amazon or Dragon Con. So really if anything I feel just the experience and really experience the clusterfuck of it all.

Maybe they take volunteers? I know wizard does. you work half a day and you get the rest of the day to wander. Not sure in NYCC does. I think they may be reedpop?

I think they go on sale early spring. They sell out fast, but not quite SDCC levels.

If you are looking for exclusive merch - there isn't as much at NYCC like SDCC. And as much as I love that exclusive merch I think it is better that way for me. That way I can explore the artist alley without having to run around to every booth trying to get who knows what at opening

I got some sweet commissions and a few pieces of cover art which I like. Once i get them all framed up I wlll post some pictures.

On the topic of comics - is everyone still loving the Wicked an Divine? I'm still floating on the edge of dropping it. I don't understand the love for it as of yet. I thought the premise was cool in the beginning especially with the Baphomet stuff in the beginning, but since then it just seems like random thing after random thing with mostly characters i don't care or really know anything about. Since the big death like 5 issues back it feels like it is just spinning its wheels, but I see so much love for it on places like kotaku and all this talk about how it needs to be a TV show.

Another unpopular opinionI have is that I think Harley Quinn has worn itself out a little. She has pretty much become Deadpool and I miss the slightly more grounded old Harley from pre-New 52. I usually love Harley too. I have three Harley Quinn statues in my house.

And finally for my last unpopular opinion - I think the new Ms Marvel is a good comic, but also think it is being a little overhyped. All the talk about it being the best Marvel comic of this millennium ,etc. I like it. I really really do, just think it is getting over hyped.

Favorites right now are Rat Queens (it has to replace Skullkickers for me), Saga, TMNT (that issue 50!!), Archie, Afterlife with Archie, Chilling Sabrina, Red Sonja an a bunch more. TMNT 50 was awesome but also upsetting to me. Hopefully the next arc is as good as the 50 issues leading up to this was.

Oh yeah - one more unpopular opinion. I'm not super excited by Spider Gwen. I found the series to be kind of ehhh. Just slapping in other Marvel characters together for a "ooooh, Multiverse characters are similar but different"., but I may be persuaded by Gwenpool (I liked Lady Deadpool).

Eh, I think I rather pay for a pass. An out of towner from Denver telling anyone where to go at a con he's never been to in a city that I haven't been to since a week before 9-11 happened, would be...awkward.

Sweet, that's the info I was basically looking for! Any idea how long the weekend passes sell out? Like is there an hour opening or do I got like a few days before they're all gone?

Also fuck yeah comic book talk that isn't weekly pick ups...

Wicked+Divine by now I kinda feel like I'm picking up out of force of habit, the problem with the death several issues ago is...well, it kinda exposes how under written and how much you have to fill in the blanks for every character yourself. I Think I enjoy it? I Think? I Mean it has it's moments and I love the style, but it does kinda feel there's way more style than there is substance in the book.

Ms.Marvel I picked up the hardcover when it came out and...it's okay. It kinda feels like every other young hero getting into the hero business kinda Marvel book. It's fun (especially the Wolverine team up), but it isn't the second coming of anything, but I guess fun new comics that are easy to get into is a thing that's getting harder and harder to do is why it gets all the love?

Harley Quinn is one of those characters who needs someone to play off of (a talking stuffed beaver doesn't count), that's the problem I have with the comic and dropped it after four issues. In Injustice, she is fucking perfect since the book is one giant ensemble piece and has so many characters to play around with and different scenarios she can butt in that she would never normally find herself in. DC I feel is trying too hard to make her into their own Deadpool and I think that's the other problem because her character isn't meant for that.

Spider-Gwen is one of those books I feel/know I'd love if it had a better artist. I Love the concept, but...well, that kinda is all it has going for it is just Gwen Stacy as Spider-girl since nothing else is truly fleshed out and things like Frank Castle being a cop out to hunt her and Matt Murdock being a sleazy lawyer for the Kingpin aren't really wow inducing and past all that, I'm still waiting for something in that book to pull me in because I want to like it. I Kinda hope that, that will change with it no longer having to be hindered with Secret Wars and can do whatever it wants or open up more, but we'll see...

Besides that, I am digging on Fight Club 2 (but I love the movie so I am totally biased), but goddamn it feels to get the full story you have to read the "previously on..." in the beginning of each issue since you have to piece alot of it yourself otherwise (like why Marla is going from Club to Club and such). I'm still digging on everything Archie. Silver Surfer I dare argue is the best thing Marvel has going for it. Deadly Class maybe my favorite ongoing. Low was a slow build, but I read them all in one sitting and am hooked since it's like one giant play or opera. Saga is awesome. We Stand on Guard is also awesome. Plutonia is still building up, but enjoying. Paper Girls has potential. Snyder's Batman I'm curious to see where it'll go, but it kinda feels like a waiting game for Bruce to come back. Star Wars the main title is fine, but only other one I'm reading is Shattered Empire and one issue left and I really want to ask if anything at all has happened. And overall I'm reading alot of stuff, mostly Image and Archie these days I want to say.

 
I'm still digging Harley Quinn and reading all the specials and spinoffs, but my experience with pre-New 52 Harley is essentially limited to Batman: The Animated Series rather than the comics she eventually appeared in. I already added Harley's new bimonthly team-up series to my pull list.

Paper Girls, since it was mentioned, totally lived up to the hype for me. The whole issue was so well-written and full of personality, and the twist at the end has me incredibly excited for the directions in which the narrative could lead.
 
So after Secret Wars end what will be the main X-Men title now? Will it be Extraordinary X-Men, Uncanny X-Men or All-New X-Men?

Might I recommend anything with Harley Quinn by Paul Dini (the original creator of her and one of the head writers of Batman the Animated Series) if you need your Harley fix? That includes the Harley Quinn series and Gotham City Sirens.

By now I kinda feel Brian K. Vaughn after Y the Last Man is always going to be a sure fire bet. I Can't deny that man knows how to write memorable characters.

He got a well deserved break in Secret Wars.

Ha! High five.

The consequences Cyclops' actions in recent times will still be felt for a while after Secret Wars. And I may be wrong since it's 5:20 A.M., but I'm pretty sure young Cyclops is a huge part of the new volume of All-New X-Men.
 
I like Cyclops the last few years, but they really rushed everything with him since Schism and haven't gotten to any real payoff. His appearance in Secret Wars never settled anything.

I love Marvel but it was a mess before Secret Wars with so many plots going on. Superior Iron-Man (who was such an awesome dick) is now I'm guessing gone forever, Havok was still evil with a kidnapped Wasp (even though he is later shown hanging out with Cyclops being normal), Nightcrawler is missing his soul or something for teleporting out of Heaven (Xaiver is still a massive jerk for hanging out there and letting everything go to shit), the past X-Men supposedly cause some horrible thing to happen which led to future evil Xaiver, Ice Hulk, Runaway's Molly, Deadpool an the rest to travel back in time to stop them, one of the new X-Men can travel through time and once again meets a jerkish Xaiver who learns part of his future and changes some events (shouldn't he now try to avoid his death?), Doc Ock is beaten and gone but left some failsafe behind, Deadpool's wife digs up some undead army to rule the world, Thor is unworthy but we still don't know why, Cyclops somehow managed to make a Phoenix egg, and I can't figure out when Captain America is old or not old. He spends a lot of time fighting Tony and the rest trying to stop the incursions while young but at the same time has aged an given the mantle to Falcon, Quentin Quire is in charge of the Hellfire Club and plans on becoming the phoenix, and last I saw a few years older Angel still has brain damage and acts like a child.

How did Daken turn back to normal. He was dead, then a horsemen of the Apocalypse and then next we see him he is perfectly fine and normal  Apocalypse is hiding in Deadpool's house. Did Deadpool kill his family like the Shield guy saw through the Watcher's eye? What was in that area in Deadpool consciousness that he wouldn't let anyone go into?

There are just so many open plots that were never followed through with. Are they just going to pretty much scrap all those and start fresh? I know the Doc Ock one was hinted too recently.

Maybe I'm expecting way too much, but I just had so many open plots I was following that I feel kind of robbed that it seems like they won't be taken care of.

Superior Iron-Man was awesome. I would've liked him to stay around permanently.

I forgot to mention the revamped Sonja and Vampirella.

Vampirella's new outfit is pretty awful. Hopefully it doesn't stay around. She looks like a Van Helsing reject.

Sonja's isn't as bad, but I definitely don't like they did with her hair. It's all ugly and stringy looking. If they wanted to make it looks less attractive and realistic they should've just kept it cut (like the recent issue) and gone that direction with it for a while.

Overall - Simone's Sonja has been good so I'm optimistic, so hopefully it stays that way. One thing that I sometimes thought was funny in Simone's run, but then sometimes got tired of was how much of a horn dog Sonja was. Always looking to hook up with girls, guys, have orgies, etc. I'm guessing they were trying to retcon out Sonja's vow of not having sex but decided to go the other way and make her super horny.

 
I don't know about the Vampirella design. She looks like Tomb Raider. The others? I'm okay. Red Sonja should be wearing something practical, but nobody begrudged the shirtless Conan out in the sun all day. Dejah's wearing a movie costume, which is much better than that BS they call a bikini in the 2008 comics. I mean butterfly thong? Really?!

 
I do not know anything about Iron-Man except for the Marvel movies and even than I find his movies boring, but the second issue of Invincible Iron-Man is pretty good. 

 
Here's what I got today. What If? Infinity Guardians of the Galaxy #1 was ordered for me but hasn't arrived. I Hate Fairyland #1 came out last week.

• Age of Apocalypse #5

Am I the only one that is not reading the all new all different stuff till Secret Wars actually wraps up? I have quite a few just waiting for the last issue of the miniseries
 
I buy mostly Marvel books, so I'd have nothing new to read if I did that! It's something I briefly considered, but I couldn't justify building a backlog of double digit books every week just because there are 3 Secret Wars issues left.

I've never been into John Carter or any of those, but isn't that pretty much the whole thing with Burrough's Martians? They don't wear any clothes except for some jewelry covering up a few bits? Doesn't she (and everyone else on Mars) think clothes are stupid/silly and anyone who wears them are strange.

 
Here's what I got the other day. What If is from last week and they ordered this week's issue for me to pick up next week.

• Batman & Robin Eternal #4
• Captain America: Sam Wilson #2

[quote name="Matt Young" post="12982912" timestamp="1445546644"]Nah, it was set to run for 8 issues (not including Secret Wars #0 from FCBD) but Marvel added a 9th issue to release in December.[/quote]

They should have just stick with #8 and made the last issue double the size to accomodate #9 instead. Hate it coz it shows in the covers that its 1 of 8.
 
Hey CAGkrazy, glad to see you in the thread. It'll be nice to have some people other than myself and blue sharing weekly pickups, heh.

Hey matt! Yeah! I graduated from destiny and trying to move on to something else. It got me back to comics!Wow! Your haul is huge! I pick and choose now! Cant afford too much! Will probably pick up the the JL darkseid comics when it goes on sale in my local store. Havent evn read justice league Darkseid war arc yet. Will wait for the TPB for that! Hehe! I have like 45 comics currently in my pull list which seems to go bigger each week! Been reading alot of image comics lately since they have alot a new series that started 2-3 months ago.

I usually look at comicbookroundup.com for ratings before diving into a new series! The one comic i missed out this week is grant morrison's klaus! I need to find a copy of that quick. My local store said its already out of print and its now going for a 2nd print run. Sheesh!

Btw any of you guys collect skottie young covers? Been hunting and buying alot of the old #1s. I actually purchase 14 issues the last time midtown comics had a 25% back issue sale. Hehe!
69aa5dac964855eaeda7f2315a010849.jpg

My local store sells skottie young covers at a premium so thats why im trying to acquire them somewhere else and midtown fits the bill.

Read a few new books.
 
I think I liked Deadpool, but I'm not sure if I'm going to like whatever way they are going to go with his parent's thing. Deadpool's history just gets more and more confusing.
 
Related also to the issue, the real worse thing Sabretooth did to Deadpool was kill Copycat and leave her body for him to find with the big note above it.

Also - is Deadpool no longer crazy? or as crazy. Since Madcap is no part of Deadpool's personality (somehow he is his own being again).
 
X-Men #1 was decent, but I hate that we are going to have to wait for whatever the big reveal is to see
 
What Cyclops did. Issue 600 ends with Cyclops getting a peaceful mutant march together and seeming getting things back together, but apparently something happened after that everyone hates him for even more now.
 
Also in regards to Ice Man
 
I thought they were going to use the two Ice Mans as being different as an explanation to let them out of the current time paradox they got going. Showing the two of them are different would mean that it branched off to a different path to a different universe or something, but no it was just Ice Man in the closet forever.
 
Ice Man being gay does make Ice Man's big arc from like 3 years ago when he got the Apocalypse Death Seed kind of stupid though when it had him dealing with all his previous girlfriends and loves as he tried to destroy the world. He split into different parts and one part was protecting all his previous loves while the other half was just gonna destroy the world.
 
So he was just pretending to be straight the whole time like in the last comic?
 
Related to this, the last time we saw Evil Age of Apocalypse Ice Man he was spending all his time surrounded by hookers. I doubt he would care what public opinion on his sexuality would be as he worked to destroy humanity.

Oh well. I think it would've been better to treat it like a different universe than rewrite history (I know there have always been fan theories about Bobby being gay). Like when Dazzler led the team where Wolverine and Hercules were an item.

I guess we should expect a lot of questions since everything has been rebooted/merged/retconned/changed etc. I wish they kept the Superior Iron Man though. IMO, that was the best thing they put out right before Secret Wars.

 
My pick-up for this week:

All-New Wolverine #1

Batman #46

Descender #7

Secret Wars #7

Thors #4

The Infinity Gauntlet #5

The Ultimates #1

I really enjoyed superman book this week. Will have to put that in my pull list.
 
Mark Waid's Avengers was a fun read, which is good because I'm not picking up any other Avengers titles now. Still weird to see Miles in the 616 universe though.

 
Im not feeling the back to the future comics. Il probably just buy it now just to complete the connecting cover set and for nostalgia.

All new wolverine was nice too! Like that the whole 1st issue was full of action scenes. Will definitely continue with it.

I bought another comic this week that wasnt in my pull list initially Goddamned#1. I like the concept and the artwork was just awesome for this type of story. Will be looking forward for issue 2.
 
In the spoiler tag is my photo of books from last week that I picked up Tuesday. I posted the list of titles last week, but obviously no picture.

Hows the darkseid war one shots? I havent read the darkseid arc from justice league thats why i passed on the one shots. I may just by the collecrted edition down the line for it.

They've all been really good in my opinion. Can't really say much about the one-shots without spoiling key aspects of the main Darkseid War plotline, though.
 
I thought Thors started out really strong but the ending just felt meh. All-New Wolverine was good, I would still have to read a few more issues to decide if I want it on my pull list or just wait for the TPB. I am behind with my reading on the Infinity Gauntlet but I am very curious about the ending now.

The last couple weeks screwed up my comic buying schedule. Some stuff still hasn't come in, and I didn't pick up everything yesterday.

Still waiting on Superman: American Alien and the Shazam one-shot from last week.

This week, the following comics from my list either did not come in or were damaged:

Picked up last night:

• Astonishing Ant-Man #2
• Batman & Robin Eternal #7
• Captain America: Sam Wilson #3
• Deadpool #2
• Extraordinary X-Men #2
• Harley Quinn #22
• Martian Manhunter #6
• Mighty Thor #1

• Batman: Europa #1
• I Hate Fairyland #2
• Kanan #8
• Ms. Marvel #1
• Star Trek/Green Lantern #5
• Telos #2
• Uncanny Inhumans #2
 
Damaged? That sucks! I usually double check the copies they pull for me and sometimes i see some dings and what not and i just replace then from the stock on display. I do let them know about the problem immediately. Good thing most of the items in my pull list they usually order alot so theres no problem replacing it there and then. I did have one encounter that they gave me damaged comic but i refused to buy it unless they reorder another one since they were out already. Heck why would they try and sell me damaged goods. Tsk. Turn around took only a week so not that bad.

The only problem with not getting your pull on time is that it tends to be your problem keeping tabs of whats missing and to constantly remind the shop about it.

Sorry... by damaged, I didn't mean they were sold to me that way. The contents of the shipment were damaged to the point where they could not be sold and the owner had to order replacements.

Man, that still sucks. They use diamond right? My local store usually have problems in their order also like getting shorted. They wish theyll be a time that theyll get more than what got invoiced. Hehe! The only problem with replacments is that if the 1st issue got sold out getting 1st issue replacements is a hassle.
 
I Gotta say, even if the new Star Wars movie is god fucking awful, the comic series (and now Vader Down) have made me enjoy Star Wars again.

 
Finally got around to finish reading the Secret Wars Infinity Gauntlet comics. That one scene reminded me of my childhood morning watching Power Rangers and I thought it was pretty epic and totally unexpected. I liked the last issue it was fun and felt like a satisfying closure.
