Thanks. Web comics aren't real comics though.
They aren't even made by real people either
Yeah was still planning to. Just sad about the continuity of it, I guess that's a regular thing though.
I think some of the frustration comes from looking at sales lists and seeing the mediocre superhero event of the month topping the charts while other quality stuff is struggling to get recognition.
Continuously seeing DC and Marvel dominate sales seems unfair, but Big Macs are always going sell more than filet mignon.

I honestly never imagined the people I disagree with would actually turn out to be full on bullying jerks to me personally, but I guess it backs up my whole worldview. Win-win.

Well, if it's any consolation, as a result of that I clicked your tag. I like your comic, and have added it to my favourites.

Mediocrity will always be popular. It would be nice to have more than two choices though. Although i guess when you boil it down hollywood is ruled by only a few compaines too.

That and just the same complaints I heard from fans who couldn't stop buying the books that were spiting them because they had been buying them for years.
Oh, and the increasing #1 / relaunch cycle to generate sales.
Never fear Benjamin, as much as I hate the rest of the world I assure you I hate myself most of all. It's only a matter of time before I work up the confidence to draw that warm bath and tap my femoral arteries to put end this endless struggle. Selling my hours on this planet to the highest bidder just to pay for my addictions and burdens continues to wear me down.
I haven't polluted the gene pool, so you won't have to worry about my feral bastards running around terrorizing the future of mankind.
Yay! Comics thread. D:
Need a tie-in for one on one fights.
I'm calling out Viewtiful. It's time we settled things.

Those biscuits are seriously unhealthy
Typical Popeyes lover. Using the biscuits to distract from the dry ass chicken. But no more! Have at thee.

Okay, look. It's all fun and games when it comes to comics. But if you ever diss Popeyes again, I will find you and replace all your books with bound copies of my wang, xerox'd thousands of thousands of times over.
But they're sooo delicious.

You'll have to excuse ReiGun, he's one of those "KFC > Popeyes" people
Yes, it's quite unfortunate.

This is what the dipping sauce is for!
Dry meat is best meat.
I want to live in a world of nothing but <insert meat> jerky!
Perfect Meatopia!
Indeed. I find it unfortunate that more cannot see the glorious truth I have known for years. My only hope to try and educate as many possible, that they may be freed from the clutches of that cajun harpy, Popeyes.
Nah brah. Brah, nah.

DEAL WITH IT!
Popeye's is still open around here.
KFC is long gone. Though to be fair they never had any damn chicken and you can only be robbed so many times before you call it a day. :\

And I need to go on the record as enjoying Cajun seasoning, and not being a Gambit fan for my appreciation of Popeyes.

Just think, just several years ago these people were issued government-mandated helmets. Now they let them on the internet and everything.
I feel so progressive just engaging these poor souls in conversations.

Maybe Cyclops is having a nervous breakdown? I mean, he's always been uptight, and now he's gone and turned on his mentor and his race, which had once been big and full of itself is on the out and out because of a single person and from what I've seen his relationship with Emma is about as solid as any relationship of Cyclops' will ever be. Maybe he really is just kinda havin' a break-down and that's why he's dumped all his wishes on Hope?
It's the only reason why Cyclops would ever view the force that had caused his two of his wives to die (once several times) as well as the slaughter of his in-laws in anything resembling a positive light. Like, honestly, you'd think Scott would be revolted by the idea of the Phoenix at this point. It's taken pretty much everything from him.
B-but the Batman Beyond comic is really good!
I'm gonna dress myself in extreme bondage gear because my powers only activate when I angst now.

So I was trying to read some Uncanny X-Men after seeing all the praise Gillen's run gets here. I decided to start with the Quarantine arc on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, since I think the stuff before that was the last time I read Uncanny. I read the first issue and everything is going fine. I get to the second issue and it opens with Sebastian Shaw on the run from Emma and Phantomex. This was odd, since in the previous issue I read he was nice and secure in a prison, and from the dialogue it was clear stuff happened in between those two scenes. I looked at the issue number and realized that Marvel arbitrarily decided to skip over issue 531. They have every other issue of Uncanny from 529-544. What is the point of skipping issue 2 in a 5 point story? :/
If it wasn't for the random holes they leave in story runs, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited would be nearly perfect (provided you are OK getting your comics on a 12-18 month lag from their publication date).

so much annnnnnngst
Ellis had to work with what he was given. At least we got some cool Doc Samson stuff out of that. Before he went crazy.
I haven't read Ellis's T-bolt, but learning about Penance was, I think, the moment I realized I had outgrown the "angst = cool" part of my life. Cause 15-16 year old me would have been all over that shit.
You mother...
You mother...
EXTREEEEME!
YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND NOW!!!! I'm DEEP.
Penance was the worst character to get in UMA2.

MDCU is great, but I constantly fear it will be shuttered in favor of monetizing every transaction rather than offer the buffet method of consuming Marvel's vast library of comics.
They really need to focus on getting MDCU on every platform and the whole gaps / release delay thing they'll be on to the perfect digital distribution method.
I'd love to see DC do something similar.
Well UMA2 was based off the worst crossover event prior to AvX, Fear Itself, etc. etc. etc.
The only thing that could be worse is a DC game based around Final Crisis. *meep meep!*
A game based on Crisis on Infinite Earths would be cool. Or course, I'm just saying that cause I want to watch Supergirl punch the Anti-Monitor in the face over and over in real time.

I wasn't taking a shot at you brah. I respect you, just not when it comes to the final season of Lost.
Oh my lumptious shared interest book readers, why doesn't anyone talk about the sheer awesomeness of Incognito by Brubaker and Sean P. It's basically begging for a movie adaption.
When you read it, you'll see why. Also Sleeper and Criminal. Brubaker is basically the American version of Alan Moore.

Is . . . is that a Digimon? Also, I feel bad for the guy who created Speedball. I mean, can you imagine how he must have felt seeing his creation become the butt of all Civil War jokes? I feel no sympathy for the guy who made him become Penance, though. He was asking for it.

Well for these monthly OT's we usually talk about the comics that came out this week or recently unless someone specifically talks about an older series
That last sentence needs to be explained....

Indeed.
If our protagonist doesn't ingest a hallucinogen or partake of psychedelics to solve the myster, then it's not Moore tier.
