Digital is fuckin awesome. I still love hardcovers because they are so cheap on IST, but my weekly list has gone entirely digital. I'm all about that highest fidelity image.

Indeed. Went to visit pops, saw one of them Mahvel floppies being printed down here, had a look and realized that it was Ultimates when evil reed opens worst tony's skull. Fml what horrible print quality, such muted colors.
Situation seems so dire for the local printer that they packing 3 ishs per floppy tho. had ultimates, xmengs and some other nonsense that i couldnt quite identify.
Also found out that Ultimates are called Supremes down here. Weird.
Gimme comix on a 55 inch telly with page and ish tracking all day every day.

I like actually having ownership rights to my comics, thanks.
Also, pretty sure my physical copy of Saga #1, 1st printing has better resale value than my digital copy.

How often do you resell comics?
GrandHarrier
Member
Semi regularly. I'm also aware I'm an edge case. I'll often buy lots of comics and then resell the ones I don't need. I still get a kick out of my Legion lot that I won for a penny a few years ago. I made like 5000% profit off that.

They've already said that past characters will be open for use afterwards, even though it won't have much of an effect in the main New52 world.

Yep, at least in North America, they sell them at the snack bar by the check-out.

Oh is that why they cancelled Supergirl? Linda Danvers coming back?

Are we talking golden age Supergirl or Matrix Supergirl here?

Probably try to make said character's new 52 counterpart more like them, or introduce them to the universe if they aren't already.
Thats not the problem. The problem are the tons of still digital unpublished comics.

Y'mean comics unavailable in digital form?
Yes, that's mildly annoying. Comics industry being even more ghetto than music or film industry is quite baffling.

After the cultural abuse you sent me on psn? M8 a line has been crossed.
Yup. Problem is that the two titles where that's most likely to happen are Oracle and married Lois and Clark, and there's no way that DC will have the balls to admit either of those was a mistake.

I'm not even a huge fan of Lois & Clark, but damn I'm tired of Superman's awkward Lois embraces with WW watching them acting like nothing weird is happening. They just need to bring Lois & Clark back and not attach WW to anyone for a few years (or at least make her relationships not the main focus of the story).
Marvel Unlimited helps with passing Marvel stuff, and i'm not confident that the Secret War minis will be good so i don't want to stock up on them only to read a bunch of semi-good stuff. With DC, i've given them a lot of tries and i'm not that interested.
if Gleason' Robin were 2.99 i'd consider trying it.

My IST package is out for delivery, would be nice if it got to my place before I get off work. Finally, I can return to not reading new trades.
Ha, thanks. To be honest I'd been skimming the thread a little while I was away but without access to comics I didn't feel like I could jump in the discussion. I'm about to binge my way through the last couple of weeks though so I'm sure I'll come storming into here in a frenzy to talk up whatever I missed. At least I didn't miss a Squirrel Girl or Ms Marvel.

Apparently, DC is going to make Jason Todd a big part of the DCCU's Batman mythos. They're also courting the John Wick directors.
It's all just a rumor, but the possibilities are... exciting, to say the least.

You guys asked me for proof that I really bought a new shelf and here it is:
Still need to put a few books in it, but I really like this Kalanx Shelf
(Now I really deserve a coke...)
I wanted to see the hot dog(s) not the shelf.

Once again Google Translate gives me absolute nonsense for your tweet.
"SEE YOU ONLY MY WORK ON!"
Thanks Google Translate!
Also, I wanted that hotdog pic too.
I can show you the gyros with cheese I am ordering in a couple of minutes
I wrote the same thing like Tom Hanks shouted as he finally made a fire in CastawayThatsAShelf.gif

Building the shelf was quiete difficult... A couple of parts were missing
That's too bad.
I've never really understood people's fascination with Red Hood/Jason Todd. But I'm also not a Punisher fan, so maybe he scratches that itch for the DCU?
GrandHarrier

I've personally liked Red Hood because you get to see the Batman who kills while keeping the traditional Batman who doesn't. It's like having your cake and eating it too, more or less. You get someone who you can nod too and say, yeah, you should fucking merc the Joker, even if its not actually going to happen.

I mostly just really liked the Under the Hood movie. But... I feel like Jason serves a different role than the Punisher (who I also dislike), in that he's a lot more... vulnerable, I guess. In the stuff I've read, at least.
He also jobs a lot more, which reinforces the perception that Punisher-style tactics wouldn't really fly in the DCU. So that's nice.
Yeah, the Batman with guns/who kills does absolutely nothing for me. To each their own though.
GrandHarrier
Member
Yeah and I like both. I mean, I'm a Superman fanboy. I love the idea of the hero who will champion an ideal like he does. But I also appreciate that someone in universe has issues with the revolving door nature of villains and advocates doing something about it even if, as I mentioned, it doesn't actually happen. It seems better than just ignoring it.

He's definitely a contender.
EDIT: Wait, does Blue Beetle count, or does the legacy thing negate that? 'Cause all three Beetles are pretty radically different.
Its like every couple of years DC are like 'THIS is the super secret, super final, never before seen, actual, uber, even more powerful, god like Brainiac.
All those other twenty Brainiacs were just fakes lol.
Then in another couple of years it will be 'no THIS is the super secret, super final.....'

The basic premise doesn't really change all that much. He just sees alot of use because you can defeat and destroy him and it doesn't matter because it wasn't really him or he has a backup or whatever.
Convergence just seems to be
drawing it out a step further and saying that there is a Brainiac that exists on a higher level than those of any one universe.

Didn't they already nearly try that with Knightfall once?

Nightfall was more about deconstructing the "Batman who kills" idea by chronicling Jean-Paul's descent into madness.

Kinda standard for Millar. He only writes first drafts for his films and then passes it along.
