That was an incident where a woman tried to restore a painting herself. So funny.
Yeah I was I'm Barcelona when it happened lol. So funny. Some people were saying on the news that it looked better.

I'm really growing to love BO3, I did not expect this...

I'm getting better.
The only change I have found is that typically in Treyarch games the go-to mode is domination, but I have found myself gravitating more to Team Deathmatch. There are too many movement options for domination not to be frustrating.

I've pretty much always been TDM or SnD. I'd play Capture the Flag more if others did. Sadly that mode is usually a ghost town.
Domination is still good, but the predictably is gone. It's harder to attack/defend because of the skills and movement.
Lois is a really incredible looking bombshell.
Batgirl is nice
This Wonder Woman is stunning. Picture not doing it justice. Pretty sure I am the only one who bought it too. My number is 1000/5200 nice
And one past one of my girls

I found domination was my go-to in most CODs, even the IW ones. Admittedly, in MW2 it was mostly to get nukes lol That and SnD. But yeah, in this one I've only been playing TDM and I like it a lot. I can see how the movement would be a pain in Dom.
Also, the first sniper isn't complete garbage, which I appreciate greatly.
Lois is lovely

Terrible casting.
Damn that Wonder Woman with the pauldrons looks fantastic! Need to see if I can get my hands on that.

Jane Thor
I knew these things would be the death of me. Haven't been getting them for three months (well, I've had Dany for a year but she was a present) and already I'm drowning in exclusives and con-related stuff.

Messi got those gorgeous statues and he all mad about a couple of POPs that probably cost $2 to manufacture.
I know. But this just sticks in my craw. What fucking bullshit.
I got mine on the way.
I want you to know that this post hurt me. That was mean.
i don't get down on statues but that Batgirl is super dope

Is it me or do they seem ridiculously overpriced too? Not a fan.

You guys wanna be mad....
Check this Captain Marvel out:
Now the bad news. She's made of Polystone, is 1/10 scale (20cm tall) and costs $280.

It's like a less good version of the Sideshow Power Girl, and that had an alternative head sculpt at well.

Which Harley are we talking about?
You said in figuregaf that you owned it. The one with the crazy face and hammer.
Those pops...
Jane looks so damn good.
Got round to reading and finishing Island #1 only for #2 to get delivered in the mail. Figures.
I like that we're getting a full issue's worth (or more) in terms of pages for the stories, rather than what I've seen in things like Dark Horse Presents. As for the stories themselves, it's a mixed bag. I'll take it though because for every couple of misses there'll be a hit from someone whose work I'll be newly reading that I will want to follow in the future. At least that's my hope and has generally been my experience with anthologies.
I.D. - Interesting subject matter marred by poor execution. Dialogue is clunky and unnatural, took me right out of the story. Almost feels like it's been poorly translated from another language. I feel like the choice of red colour scheme ruins the clarity of the artwork in some panels making them indecipherable. It's a shame as that's otherwise the strongest aspect of this story. I'd be interested to know the rationale behind that choice.
Multiple Warheads - more Multiple Warheads which in my case is a good thing. This is a nice venue for him to throw more chunks of this out there whenever they're ready.
Daggerproof Mummy - Pretty much what it says in the title with added skating. Weird mish-mash that's drawn out a bit too much for my liking. Weakest artwork of the 3 stories for me.
Polaris - this was weirdly my favourite bit of this first issue. Goes into why I like to pore over the background detail in Graham's work and others. Gets my imagination flowing. I'd like to see more short snippets like this interspersed throughout future issues, maybe some 4-koma/gag strips in addition to the full chunks of stories as above. Asking too much?
Not the best start because on the basis of the first parts I'd have dropped I.D. and Daggerproof Mummy if they were their own single issue ongoing comics. Most likely in favour of trade-waiting or digital sales.

oh, no, I was talking about the B&W one.
Just tell me next time. I can probably get a second and just mail it.
My secret favorite character gets a better statue than the last one. I want this.

Justice League Dark #12-#13, #0, Annual 1: Still continues to be fun, though Constantine seems to be in his cigarette lighting stance 90% of the time. And Zatanna continues to lose to everyone. So many questions raised though.
1)
2)
3) Are there any good runs with all the older magicians mentioned? I mean Zatara, Sargon, etc.
4) A bit surprised the story continued in the Annual after #13. Is that something that happens often?
5) I have a craving for Chick-fil-a, but the closest store is an hour away. Should I go now or for breakfast tomorrow?
1)
Is this Nick Necro someone new? Or have Zatanna and Constantine always shared an "origin" story?
2)
Who is this Timothy Hunter? I've never read The Books of Magic, any good?

I'm never a COD multi player but played the beta for a couple hours last night. My last match I finally had a K/D ratio over 1. It was 1.8. I ended up slowing down and picking my spots on the map. Also it helps the team more because my run and gun style kept racking up deaths :/
