So people are saying Avengers is worth checking out? Is New X-Men still around and/or good still?
I like it. New Avengers is Marvel's "main title" for lack of a better term. It's where everything happens but you could argue that's a bad thing too because of all the mega events. I don't think New X-Men is around anymore...

He's scarier than Venom because he has absolutely zero anti-hero potential. That said, I'm still waiting for an event, miniseries, etc., that can serve as an entry point into the spider-books.
I'm a proud owner of the 3-part original appearence of Carnage. (I think it's ASM #360-363). That's one of my favorite Spidey stories. It's also a complete story because Carnage dies in the end. Obviously he came back somehow and now we're getting diminishing returns with him.
You didn't think his tenure at the FF was a good jumping on point?

I knew it too - that was the best 2099 title, or maybe that was actually DOOM 2099?!?

I'm with you on that one, though I did really enjoy Spider-Man 2099 too.

Besides Batman #13 this month, did any of you notice Harley Quinn appearing in anything else outside of Arkham Unhinged and Suicide Squad?

Just finished Annihilation: Conquest. It certainly was epic. Guardians of the Galaxy is next chronologically I believe and more Nova.

Aliens. 
Seems a odd call tbh, although I never really got into the 2099 stuff.
I am still enjoying my (two years behind?) UK based Spidey catch up comic. We're almost at the end of the Spider Island story arc, and I am tempted to pic up Scarlett Spider now I know its Kaine, I like him as a character.

Okay, so I have a theory regarding Batman #13 and the "Death of the Family" storyline, specifically about the Joker. I don't go on comic forums much, so this is all mine. If I'm right, the kudos can come right here. If I'm wildly wrong, the tomatoes get thrown right here.

You do see the stapled on Joker face in Batman #13... Though at the same time, it's good theory...

Been doing well, looking at the latest Previews, wondering if there was anything I want, and looking forward to March when I can get the second half of the Court of Owls.
Can someone who's read the first 11 issues of Batman tell me if issue #7 of Batman was a special issue, and not related to the Court of Owls? I'm only asking because the first hardcover book I have only goes from issues 1 to 6, and then the second book only covers issues 8 to 11 or so.

Nah, it was about the Court. My guess is that it will come bound with the Night of the Owls cross-over collection. Batman 7 is probably the prologue to issue 8 of the other Bat-titles, which all had Owls-related stories that month.

No, what I am saying is that you should look for an upcoming paperback collection of issue 8 of the Bat-titles, possibly leading with Batman 7.

Amazon lists that volume as collecting the annual -- DC says otherwise.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
They have different page counts listed, too, but they don't differ enough to account for the annual.

The book you listed is the "Night of Owls" hard cover, I'm looking for the second half of the Batman Court of Owls storyline, which is apparently The City of Owls.
I have the Annual already (I believe) as well as issues 11 and 12... So I have everything just after the CoO arc finishes up.

My (incorrect) theory was that Batman 7 may be in a Night of the Owls collection. What I noted was that amazon lists "Batman Vol. 2" as collecting the annual when DC says it's only Batman 8-12.

I guess one other possibility is that Batman 7 might be collected into the second TBP volume of Nightwing (not yet solicited).
