This is a good solution for stuff in general, tbh.

It's not that I want realism, per se. I just don't think the end result is cool enough to justify the unrealistic bits.

Oh, Pacific Rim gets a pass, on account of being so ridiculously over-the-top.

Actually I sort of do? I'm not asking for hard Sci-fi but I do appreciate in universe limits and logic behind things. Gundam 0079, for example, has alot of random BS for why certain technologies do or don't work or why this model is stronger than that model, but because they stay consistent to their rules and laws, you can enjoy that suspension of disbelief. Bullshit like Evangelism, however, does nothing for me because they just don't give any fucks at all.

Well since someone brought it up, I am DISAPPOINTED that we never got a CatmanXDeadshot Yaoi.
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, WORLD!

Ever since Halo 3 happened, it's quite settled that John 117 is completely insane. Partially due to all them roids he took since early childhood. Partially due to shoving an AI stick at the base of his skull all the time. Wearing a poncho most likely makes sense to him.

Real talk: eva is at its worst when they try to cut the bullshit and actually apply some hard rules. Yes shinji, you've become fanta.

Yaoi more or less means boy love. So you wouldn't call someone a "yaoi", more that the art or theme is yaoi. Also, welcome to a part of the Internet you hadn't discovered yet.

Rule of thumb if you don't know what a Japanese word means, don't image search it. That works for most words, actually..


Catman is so underutilized. I want a big awesome Catman series by a good creator.

I guess I just have a ghost book because Copra Round Two doesn't exist on Amazon or IST

If it makes you feel better, I have it on my IST wishlist, though it says "Not Available," so we do have some proof that it existed at some point.

This post was wildly underappreciated. I was dying.

Y'all gotta check out Translucid TPB,

I was hyping it up like crazy when it was out, I know a couple people were asking when the trade was coming out. Its out. And should bought!
Click to expand...

Oh! Thanks for the heads up! I was one of the people saying I'd maybe check out the trade when it came out, but when I was going through the IST latest releases yesterday I passed it because I clearly didn't remember it at all. So yeah, thanks for reminding me that this was something I want to check out! Added it to my wishlist. Definitely seems like something I'd enjoy.

I bought all of Convergence. My resolve died when Comixology updated. Fuck.

My comics cost me nearly 75€ today.

Why you killing your own industry? What would Didio think?

I do really wish they'd gone for better talent overall. Some bright spots but, man, I don't want to hear what Frank Tieri thinks about the Justice League, I just want to read a good Justice League story. Seeing the old guard like Cowan and Weeks still being able to rip it up is sure nice, though.

I agree. I want my old pre 52 stories but many are with c list talent. I wait for digital discounts anyway but I'll wait to hear which are the good ones. Rucka on question is a no brainer.

I'm looking forward to hearing what Convergence books are good. I'm pretty much open to anything but I want to know more before I take the plunge on some.

I've only read Convergence #1 so far, which was meh compared to #0, and Rucka's Question, which of course was solid and I'm sure will make some pre New52 fans pretty happy.

Not sure if I'm trying anything else or not yet.

I'm all for trying out new talent. Sure, why not, for one and done story lines. This industry can be a bit of an insular circle jerk at times so it's great to see new blood given a chance.

Did they seriously have to release all of the cool Convergence minis all at once!? At $4 an issue each, I'm really not sure I want to buy all of them ;_;

I'm a bit confused on the Deadpool ending:

Is this implying that the Deadpool we've been following is an alternate reality version?

I don't know what to buy :(

I want to check out Superman, Speed Force, Nightwing/Oracle, Harley, Question, and Batgirl but that's too much

Exactly! I think I may cut it down to just Question and Nightwing/Oracle. I wanted Batgirl too, but I'm not really feeling the art that much. I'm on the fence for Harley since it stars Poison Ivy and my girl Selina too.

How are you not picking up the Gotham City Sirens. I should revoke your girly hijinks club membership.
