Not to consolidate everything into a mega thread but I thought it'd be good to semi-merge the comic talk thread with our weekly list thread since those don't always get a ton of replies. That or just a refresher thread every week for random thoughts about various nerd properties that might not fit in the tv/movie threads. And yeah I think it might be time to unsticky the anime thread and put that bitch in here from now on... basically got an anime thought, okay you go baka. Speaking of which let's comingle.

I just finished up S3 of Harley Quinn and the writing is still really good. I love seeing different takes on established names especially ones that have those "no weakness" clauses in their comic contracts. Emo Nightwing is everything it needs to be. RIP Mama Macaronis

I tapped out on Dr. Who mid season 3, but I'm gonna try and give it another whirl. If it doesn't "hit" I might have to write it off as not for me. I love the idea, the reoccuring characters are fun to see but I'm not 100% feeling it and this is WAY before the writing gets bad. Might check out those Disney specials though just to see who Donna is.

Anyway the objective going forward is to provide a launching pad for random thoughts for this side of pop culture. Of course it'll probably...

I've been trying to find HQ S3. I can't seem to get it on any of my streaming sites. 1-2 is on Netflix and 4 is on someplace else but no 3. The writing looks to be as good as Season 1 & 2. Season 4 I've been dragging through a bit more but maybe that's cause I'm missing Season 3! When you watch Season 4 let me know what you think vs the previous seasons. Bane remains my favorite character.

Poor Lony didn't check the forum and see that Ness started this thread earlier today. Thanks for the thread Nesticle! I think it's a good idea, trying to get more nerd talk together. Next step is probably to tag some of the biggest nerds on the site like The Kid and UT

Speaking of UT there's going to be a new TMNT comic series coming out in the future. There's about 5 issues left of the current series to bring them up to 150. Then a soft reboot of sorts apparently. Not a lot has leaked, other than the new writer Jason Aaron. I've loved Jason Aaron's creator owned books, but haven't been the biggest fan of his super hero stuff. So we'll see how this goes.

iron maiden that's too bad, I think season 3 was my favourite. Season 4 is a bit more out there with a more season wide arc (not sure how much you watched so far) but I'm sure Ness or I can point you to a website to stream it if you can't find it by legal means.

My friend had a birthday on the weekend and he's a bit of a lapsed comic reader. A decade at least. His partner would always contact me before Christmas to ask for recommendations for Christmas/Birthday purchases. He declared no more scotch, so I suggested comics. One of my other friends tossed me some money, so I grabbed for him:

Nocterra vol 1 (currently 3 books out, still ongoing)
Once & Future vol 1 (5 books total, series finished)
Seven to Eternity vol 1 (4 books total, series finished)
Die vol 1 (4 books total, series finished)
The Nice House on the Lake vol 1 (2 books total. Series finished...maybe?)
8 Billion Genies hardcover (complete story)

I recommend those books up there.

On to the comics!
