Yo we missed last week's thread! Everything ok Lony? Any more appendicitis? Need another care package?!

Did anyone hit up their store for Free Comic Book Day? I took Foos Jr for the first time. We had a playdate scheduled later on in the afternoon, so I thought it would be great to grab a bunch of the books for the kiddos. Everyone was stoked. 

While I wasn't in the shop all that long (it really is a hole in the wall) I did witness several middle-aged couples (think 45-50) come in, grab a stack a free comics, and leave. Not even buying a single thing. Shameful. 

X-Men 97 finale is coming up this week. Can't wait to see how crazy the cliffhanger will be!

How did you know which comics to read and buy?!

WHen one doesn't get posted (usually does right after I update my notepad doc) I go to the most recent thread and do the type of shame. I MISS having one link. But of course never make a thread.

Action Comics
Batman and Robin
Green Lantern
Outsiders
Red Hood: the Hill
Sinister Sons
Suicide Squad: Dream Team

TMNT: Untold Destiny of the Foot Clan
Walking Dead Deluxe

Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt
Doom
Miles Morales: Spider-Man
Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace
Ultimate X-Men
Weapon X-Men
X-Men Forever


On the bright side, the comic goblins gave Ms. Marvel: New Mutant #'s 1 and 2 back. They waited for me to check the box 4 times, then slipped them behind Immortal X-Men, so I'd find them when boxing my last pickup. Devious little bastards.

RagnarokMike I had to read an Andy Kuhn drawn TMNT story in the FCBD issue. His art has apparently improved!

In other news...

THAT'S HOW YOU DO A SEASON FINALE X-MEN 97!!!!

don't miss that end of credits final scene if you're a Gambit fan.

This is going to be a long wait for season 2!

Marvel Comics
Ultimate X-Men #3
X-Men Forever #4

Bill Bixby's Buttocks Batman! That was some season finale! Having read X-Men up until 5 years ago, I think I see where they are going and who the baddie of Season 2 might be.

SPOILER: Click to show

Lots of cameos (Silver Samurai, T'Chaka, Dr. Strange, Cap, Iron Man, Omega Red, Darkstar, Psylocke with Alpha Flight, Daredevil, Cloak & Dagger just to name a few including Wanda, Pietro and Polaris darkened on the boat with Rogue in Magneto's mind. 

And we're getting Gambit as Apocalypse's Horseman Death. Straight outta the comics. 

Also, a spoiler for anyone who caught it for Spiderman: TAS. 

Basically, our series is growing up and looking to the future... well, technically still our past, but the X-Men's future in the comics including costume changes, what I expect to be Wolverine's Bone claws, etc.

I put everything under spoilers in case peeps aren't as keen as Foos and I. 

God X-Men was so good this week.

Anyone reading bloodhunt? Looks like marvel event with vampires. I tend to skip these tbh, figures it's nothing like with the Venom people. But they snuck a tie in into ASM so I had to read it. Not bad, but I'll probably only read that portion.

I'm going to read most of it. So far so good. I read the 10 issue Blade series beforehand. Feel like I have a really good grasp of the Marvel Universe now outside of a few core titles.
