That's the same guy who did the Ms. Marvel stuff that had Wolverine in it that people were posting images of some pages back? I like those pages Spike posted waaaaaaaay more than those Wolverine pages.

Man I'm getting all nostalgic. I remember when I could turn on Cartoon Network during the anime boom and they aired freaking Gigantor early in the morning.
The Incal is amazing, I still need to track down Metabarons.
I just read a bit about it and first thing I thought was Barbar as a gonzo journalist. Incal looks lengthy though and I've already got several long series lined up.

For me it was Robotech, G-Force / Battle of the Planets,
New Adventures of Johnny Quest
Haha. Holy shit. And out of curiousity I just looked up the comic versions of some of these things and discovered that Battle of the Planets had comic crossovers with Witchblade and Thundercats.
Because why not. Topcow appears to have given zero fucks.

even as a kid obsessed with video game and boy's adventures I avoided that shit LMAO
Speaking of Battle of the Planets and tying Gatchaman into comics, a while back Best Buy had the Alex Ross anniversary blu-ray set for like $40 and I picked it up:
Yeah, it's fucking awesome.

Dude. DUDE. DUDE. That is fucking amazing. I need that. $75.00 on Amazon WHY.
I apologize for nothing.
I do not have a single complaint. It's perfection. My Saturday mornings after work are ridiculous.
So you're saying I should buy myself a Batman costume?
Aziz is the best. Thanks for the encouragement/inspiration. Haha
Edit: Also, you reminded me that I should totally start rewatching Parks & Rec. Hopefully I'll use my day off tomorrow to read a ton of Doom Patrol and watch a ton of Parks & Rec.

aw dang it's unavailable at the moment. Hopefully it'll be back in stock when i decide i want to make another IST order
My girlfriend and I re watch that and Reno 911 all the time. Those shows are hilarious.
Doesn't look like Wyatt to me. Unless he's changed up the style drastically from issue 6. This: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=23077 is what I'd expect from him. The hair for example. Looks like Alphona as per the first 5 issues.
Well the elephant is more like hired muscle than actual journalist. But yeah the style is reminiscent of that. I love it though and the worldbuilding is suitably different enough to make it interesting for me. This sums it up quite well: http://ifanboy.com/articles/review-district-14-season-one/
The Incal, you can just read the one hardcover (I've only read that and like tim said above need to get to other things like Metabarons eventually) but there are other series for you as well. It's not really that long.
Yeah, looks a lot more like Alphona to me too. For some reason Alphona's art hadn't caught my eye before, but it's brilliant.
Nice.
I'm actually really surprised I haven't rewatched P&R already. It seems like I would've/should've by now.

Thanks to everyone for talking about Scud and reminding me that I haven't finished reading my Whole Shebang hardcover.
Also, what's up with the prices on that thing? Why do I own a collection that is being sold for $300-$500 dollars? WHY??? WHY?!?

stretchy heroes + good cartooning > *
Sell it, buy the paperback, buy many more comics.
That's what I'd do at least. Haha

Man I love Ms Marvel..
Hmh, wanted to start reading Star Wars Omnibus: Knights of the Old Republic Omnibuses but they're out of stock basically everywhere for decent price. Any idea if Dark Horse will reprint these before license goes to marvel?
Nope. Kiss your favorite stories goodbye. Get whatever you can right now. The likelihood of Marvel reprinting a majority of these books is slim to none.

Yep. Not only would Marvel/Disney have to purchase the original material from Dark Horse in order to reprint them (which they won't do, as they're only interested in publishing new SW comics), but fans have until December 2014 to purchase their digital comics from Dark Horse too; after that, you'll still be able to read what you already bought but you won't be able to purchase what you didn't.
Well that sucks and I'm way too late to buy stuff right now, shit... Oh well, my fault I guess. Sucks to lose this great Star Wars stories. Been slowly hunting Star Wars: Tales trades but man that's hard stuff to get in good price here. Owning 1-3 and 6 right now at least.
Tried my luck to order Knights of the old republic vol. 1 as new, probably will get message that "sorry, error on website, out of stock" next week since it said shipment in 4-7 weeks.

I would do the same. ^_^

Legendary Star-Lord #1
Fresh off of reading Abnett's run on Guardians of the Galaxy, I was rather let down by this Star-Lord stand-alone (I know I shouldn't compare, but still). Peter Quill gets into some deep ish when the Badoons are out looking for him, seeking an artifact that Peter has in his possession. The story progression feels very safe and there aren't a lot of "wow" moments. As a matter of fact, I was only really excited when I saw cameos of other characters, namely the one shot of Groot and Rocket Raccoon singing karaoke with Peter. I'll probably skip issue #2 and see how others are liking it if I decide to stick with it.

Original Sin #3.3: Hulk vs. Iron Man #3
Saw this in my stack of books as I was looking for something to read; my LCS must've thrown it in there whenever I picked up my weekly stuff. This is just a good old classic versus book. I wasn't expecting much and came out pleasantly surprised. I guess Tony did some fucked up things to Banner and now Hulk is out for revenge. I have no idea what Tony did so I'm a bit curious to see what it was. Someone can spoiler it for me if you've been reading this, or maybe I'll pick up #3.4 to find out.
Who wants the Marvel digital code to Original Sin #3.3? First person to reply requesting it gets my PM.

It does, unless you're willing to get it from overseas. Are you buying the original Knights of the Old Republic trades, or the omnibuses?
Omnibuses. Any good store ideas for those?

Instocktrades.com still has it. They're in the US, but they do ship internationally.

Apparently, Steven Universe #1 doesn't exist physically. :/
Just picked up Robocop #1, The Woods #1, The Strain #1, and The Star Wars #1, I'm adding all four to my list. These comics are FANTASTIC.

When does Abnett's Cosmic run end? With Annihilators? Is it like an actual ending type of thing, or should I just stop with Thanos Imperative (since that felt like an ending to everything)?
Freezasaurus
Member
I haven't even been paying attention to that one. What's the plot like?

Just stop with Thanos imperative. The annihilators should have been amazing but it felt disappointing and my interest fizzled out
It was always the episode right before Goku would get to Namek :/
