30 Days of Night or American Vampire? Girlfriend has read the first trade of AV and 2nd cycle so we are considering the rest of the AV trades.
 
Well my Macbook is toast! And yesterday freakin sucked, but I guess the nice thing is that all of my IST orders came in.

American Vampire is amazing while 30 Days of Night is pretty shit outside of the first story in Barrow.

Speaking of Destiny the story is so shit they should get someone to make a tie in comic to get something interesting out of the setting.

Sorry about that Macbook. What happened to it?
Also, when are you going to find the time to read all those books? haha

Appears to be a bad hard drive/corrupted. System can't find the start up disk so I can't even reinstall the OS. Going to take it to an authorized repair center to see what my options are. If it's more than a couple hundred dollars I'm unlikely to fix it.
 
Walking dead, southern bastards, preacher, anything by joe sacco, acme novelty library, 2001 nights, vagabond, bprd (the ones guy davis did), hellboy, the metabarons, battlefields, 100 bullets, from hell, habibi, two faces of tomorrow, battle angel alita ( the original series not Last Order), criminal, the fade out, outcast, spaceman, nao of brown, optic nerve
I could add more if youre interested. I have no interest in super hero books either and no tolerance for incompetent art.

Always, ALWAYS love a fucking Chris Ware recommendation. Nice to see that!

A ton of great recommendations in there, really.

My brother had something similar happen to his Macbook. Couldn't reinstall the OS or restore anything since he hadn't made any Time Machine backups. Turns out, it was his HDD cable that had failed. I think it cost him $60 for the Apple Store employee to fix. You can probably buy the cable for $45 or less and look at tutorials to fix it yourself if that was the issue.
 
Trying to catch up on some comic backlog, which do you guys think I should read first?

Grant Morrison Doom Patrol

Frank Miller Daredevil

James Robinson Starman

Hellboy

Tell me how you like Rebirth of Evil. I'm enjoying JLD and I should have The Death of Magic by the end of the week, but I haven't heard particularly great things about book four.

Kipp,whatsinaname, and I all just read Doom Patrol for the first time and it's absolutely amazing. I'd start with that personally.

I've enjoyed what I've read of Starman though, I need to go back and buy the rest of the omnis sometime.
 
hey I didn't read that Gillen Journey into Mystery except where it crossed over with New Mutants but I did read the Sif ones that came after that. soo good. Marvel cut me deep when they canceled it. ooh Maelstrom had that Noto art. and that World's Finest just reminded me I wanted that trade..is that the one with a different Bat/Super person on each issue?
 
Between TV shows. Destiny, weekly comics, bookshelf comics. I don't have much time for you guys anymore. :(

I'm nearly in the same boat though I still try to check in as much as I can. I'm also trying to pick up a few new hobbies: autocross, archery, and getting back to playing basketball, just to name a few. Just got a basketball hoop for my birthday and my family did not skimp out on it. :D

I really hope someday I can get into autocross. That seems like so much fun. What car do you have that you plan to use?

Will probably get rear and front anti-sway bars soon and might make the jump to Stage II with a downpipe and another ECU tune. Most of my friends are running WRX's and Evos; can't beat them in a straight line but a race track/course is a different story.
 
I'm reading The Black Mirror. Batman making jokes is taking a bit of getting used to. The page early on
Where Gordon flicks off the Bat signal and Dick stays there was funny.
. Snyder's style is very easy to enjoy and understand.

Goddam. Soule is channeling Kirby with Inhuman. Great and unique new characters. Sucks that the proposed spinoff books were put on hold.


It's taken over a year but they are finally incorporating Angela into the Marvel U properly. They can't botch the launch of her solo. They just can't. Inda has me interested in reading early Spawn, never read it, so I guess that makes me an infidel of extreme.

I quite enjoyed Angela in the Trial of Jean Grey. She is amazingly blunt. I think I'll get her solo book.

I tried archery at a local range a few weeks ago, and am kinda hooked on it. Been great fun.

I blame NTGYK for this.

Don't feel bad I can't keep up with this thread either. Comics, Games, Girlfriend, Aikido, Work, etc etc. I do what I can though.

*edit*

Ohh man I totally want to get into Archery, just not enough free time.

Today I've been bbq some pork shoulder. So far it's been in smoke for 11 hours, probably at least another hour.
 
I just got through sorting my comics into shortboxes. I think I haven't done it in about a month, considering there were four issues of Batman Eternal. XD

I hate sorting comics.

Very nice! Not a bad setup at all! That sounds like a great time.
It's funny, I love cars, but I'm way too frugal to actually buy myself a decent, fun/sporty car. Maybe one day. Haha
 
I can't wait to read it. I have Kingdom Come and the sequel just sitting on my shelf.

There's a sequel?!

I wonder if I should read it. Kingdome Come is so perfectly wrapped up, I don't know if I want to read anything that changes that. (Same reason I haven't read Before Watchmen).

It's called the Kingdom, and while I love Kingdom Come the Kingdom did not leave much of an impression on me.

Don't read it. Now johns started playing with Kingdom come themes and characters late in his JSA run

I read Darwyn Cooke's before watchmen mini minutemen. I enjoyed it. The Silhouette is great
 
How are Jeff Loeb and Tim Sales Batman books rated around here? Worth picking up? How about their Catwoman book When in Rome.

I really like The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. I remember enjoying Haunted Knight as well.

Haven't read their Catwoman book though, sorry :(

The Long Halloween is my favorite Batman book. Dark Victory is very good as well. My gf liked them both a lot, too.

Haven't read Haunted Knight or When in Rome tho.
