Comics are fun.

The Review Group should be fun too.

Paper fans rejoice, you totally have that option again this week!




THE MASSIVE #1
Writer: Brian Wood
Artist: Kristian Donaldson

In a post-war, post-crash, post-disaster, post-everything world, the environmental-action trawler Kapital scours the earth’s oceans for its mysteriously missing sistership, The Massive. Captain Callum Israel, a man who has dedicated his life to the ocean, now must ask himself—as our planet dies—what it means to be an environmentalist after the world’s ended. Callum and his crew will come up against pirates, rebels, murderers, and thieves as they struggle to remain noble toward their cause. Can you save a planet that's already doomed?




BALTIMORE: DR. LESKOVAR'S REMEDY #1
Writer: Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden
Artist: Ben Stenbeck

An army of malformed vampires controls a small Croatian town, but Lord Henry Baltimore arrives to put an end to this madness, fighting his way to their creator—a twisted surgeon akin to Moreau and Mengele!

Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.

When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.

I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.

Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.

If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

Naturally, this new system is new and it may be necessary to make changes as we go.

Pretty sure my LCS won't carry this.

I like to think Stephen picked this because I heckled him about not picking Saga last time.

[Victorian Squid]

Well, the preview in DHP did little to convince me to buy this, so I dunno.

[******]

It's Brian Wood, I need no convincing.

[S.F. Jude Terror]

I alerted Dark Horse to our pick this week, so let's really embarrass ourselves with our childish behavior as usual. I propose a massive fight with Punchy.

[Punchy]

I alerted Dark Horse to our pick this week, so let's really embarrass ourselves with our childish behavior as usual. I propose a massive fight with Punchy.

I haven't gotten into an e-fight since the Before Watchmen Newton thing, I'm a reformed character.

[BlueStreak]

I haven't gotten into an e-fight since the Before Watchmen Newton thing, I'm a reformed character.

This comment leaves me to believe that Punchy hates nature, women and Brian Wood personally.

[S.F. Jude Terror]

WTF is Punchy's problem?

[Punchy]

This comment leaves me to believe that Punchy hates nature, women and Brian Wood personally.

I like women, but I'm not a big fan of nature.

I like Brian Wood's comics, but I've never met the man.

[BlueStreak]

I like women, but I'm not a big fan of nature.

I like Brian Wood's comics, but I've never met the man.

Punchy, I don't know how many times I've told you to leave Brian Wood's mother and children out of your pathological rants about him. It's rude and inappropriate.

Keep it up and you'll find yourself banned.

[Royal Nonesuch]

Jerks!!

[S.F. Jude Terror]

Punchy, I don't know how many times I've told you to leave Brian Wood's mother and children out of your pathological rants about him. It's rude and inappropriate.

Keep it up and you'll find yourself banned.

You can't ban punchy! He's a protected poster!

/switches sides/

[GLX]

Jerks!!

I told you, yesterday.
