lmao Gamestop just randomly called me about pre-ordering Destiny 2 because I bought Infinite Warfare way back when.

Damn, full run of Gundam. That must have cost a bit.
I've been looking at this Speed Raced box set.

yea..it was a hit. But those HCs are nice. But I generally will go digital unless i'm forced to go print
like with Berserk
At least Yotsuba&! is digital (Messi give this series a try)

I have Pluto and Origin. Man, the Gundam volumes were pricey but it wasn't so bad as I bought each one as it came out.

Damn, that is some haul. Especially jealous of the physical 20th Century Boys & Pluto, those are both I want to read. Urasawa looks like my man. Well done on the haul though, really nice,you'll be feeling that for awhile.
I can't remember the last time I was in a Gamestop.

Flow, I just started watching Cowboy Bebop, too. (At this point I just basically do whatever Griffin McElroy tells me to).
That opening theme is straight up great.

My parents renewed my gamestop rewards card a few weeks ago without telling me. I haven't bought anything from gamestop since... I wanna say 2013.

If it balances the scale, I can freely admit I've been watching NXT for the last few days on this free wrestling pass. Wrestling and Manga cancel each other out right?

Prince of Cats was great, especially the last two acts. Wimberly picked the oddest characters to concentrate on but it works so well. And it helps that it looks so gorgeous.
But if you go digital with Yotsuba, how do you get the cute spines?

It depends on how you feel about Roman Reigns, the strongest most talented wrestler of our, or really any, time.

Bendis isn't the only one. Soule brought back Maya Lopez without explanation. Or has he given one?

Well so far I have all 13 volumes in print. Yotsuba is the happiest thing ever created.

Well I've only saw the one match with him and he beat the deadman. That makes him the new phenom and it his yard right?
According to Jim Zub, Pepe Larraz is working on new book, but he can't talk about it. I remember Messi asking about him.
I can't remember.

America should have been a punk superhero story. Bucking the status quo. Instead we got, "OMG I'm soooooo bored and like, unfulfilled. You know what would be fun? Cooooooolleeeeeeege! Whoooooo!"
Fuck that book.
Best post.

It's not like Bendis' Moon Knight was memorable. Fun, but pointless. Ultimately that was the only lasting thing that run did, and then Soule goes, "She's back. We cool?" We cool."
Yes!

Don't get me wrong, superheroes and school is always a fun ride, but America? The one who has literally done nothing except say "fuck you" to every single status quo she's run up against? To be fair, I only know her from Secret Wars and on. Never read anything with her in before that, but I think that's enough of a template to use for this.
There should have been a America & Lady Kate comic.

NXT is better than pretty much anything else. But RAW was really solid this week, especially with the Revival getting called up. #SayYeah #TopGuys
I couldn't make it to the end of the first issue. I ran out of fucks to give.
Love Yotsuba. Best manga.
YEA BOI! just got back from the gym. about to watch episode 2 now.
I love the music in this show. lord have mercy.

Straight-up one of the GOAT anime soundtracks. I imported a good five or six Bebop soundtracks including the one for the movie.
I think that people are legit scared to criticize it because Queer Lantina lead, but this comic is fucking awful. Jesus. It could be amazing. You actually have one of the most compelling characters in comics (think of it objectively. Who is anything like America Chavez) and goddamn Carol Danvers' book is more engaging. Literally the only thing I like is the covers. What a mess. This is the Other M of comic books.
NOPE.
Nichijou is amazing.
But the one true King is Luffy. That's the best comic being published in the world, period.

One Piece is just okay. MHA is better, and there were a bunch of series that One Piece has outlasted that I think were superior like Eyeshield 21, Full Metal Alchemist, or Kekkaishi.
Know how I know you don't still read one piece?

Yes and no. On the one hand, yes because people have been clamoring for it for awhile to the point of legitimate outrage. Those people now have a "beggars can't be choosers" mentality, and now with this whole "diversity doesn't sell" narrative, there's an even stronger desire to back it.
On the other hand there's a lot of the usual vitriol for the book that you see for a lot of minority books, but also heavy criticism from people who didn't want the book in the first place.
I fell out of it during Dressrosa. And I was following the manga, not the anime. It hasn't been as enjoyable post-timeskip. The sense of adventure isn't there anymore for me, and that's what really made OP for me. Plus the pacing sucked. I'll go back to it eventually since the story will draw me back in (theory crafting hole, here I come), but it just isn't the same. That and the realization that Oda really doesn't write very good female characters.
The DP Good Bad and Ugly storyline.

I don't blame people who are madly in love with it. This is all they got when it comes to queer poc latina characters. I have seen some people on twitter who were excited for the book quietly admit that it's not that great. This school setting is just pointless mainly cuz we're not shown how this school operates. Everyone is basically "Idk. I'm learning deep shit." I still don't understand why she's going to college. She says she wants to better herself but, college? Everything she's learning right now she could have gone to a library or go back in time herself and learn stuff. So far the college setting isn't serving her character. It's just there.
I thought you were one of the good ones Poodle.
Sweet child your so used to Marvel's relaunch yearly structure.
Thanks-pulling it up on MU now.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #5
An enjoyable end. I dug this book for the most part. Wasn't spectacular or anything, but it had its moments. A cool plot for an older villainthat doesn't get too many plots, nice continuity nods, solid humor, and one of the coolest two-page spreads I've seen in awhile. A decent book that I'd recommend for fans of either cartoon.

Remember, I got back in the game post 2010 but didn't really jump back in til 2012. Even then, I dabbed in comics which only had 20-ish issues because heaven forbid a Big Two book last 20 issues without a relaunch, I was collecting Invincible til I just got tired of it.

No one is underestimating. A good chunk of us were pretty hype. I was. I'm massively disappointed because it wasn't at all what I wanted.
