Come on Zombine, you know you want dat Hickman feel
I know how you feel... I have no trouble starting to read all the Library Editions, but I dont know if I really want to read BRPD and Abe Sapiens, even when they are good. In the end, they will be lying in the self while I continue to read my Cape books, because I consider those more important and easier to follow.

BPRD is worth reading anyway and that alone is a huge chunk of the non-Hellboy Hellboy universe stuff.

They have everything cape books have, and are supes easy to follow.
They're not like Image books that are more meandering and plot-light, these things are a fucking rocket and you hold on for dear goddamned life.

I'm actually kinda surprised by how little Satanboy and Co. stuff there is out there, given how long the character's been around. Justified, since most of it is very good to great. Tends to avoid sturgeon's law like a boss.
I just type stuff on google and see what kinda grades pop, tbqh
Thought process on the "both" was "did mignola write it? aye. did it score well? aye. Mandatory it is, then."

To be fair, all of Mignola's co-writers are just as good (if not better, tbh). Arcudi is the mastermind behind the BPRD golden age.

What's the point of investing in the stock market. I should just invest in comic book #1 issues.

I was half-joking, but I do use it often to find some niche stuff that's getting buzz
And yeah, I don't know why you wouldn't want to read a Mignola book if you haven't heard it's absolutely terrible or something.

Isn't Arcudi leaving after Hell on Earth finishes? That's a big shame if so.

Fall of Ninjak is going to bridge that gap between current Valiant and Rai. IT MAKES SENSE NOW.

The first two Hellboy Library Editions can be read standalone, so you can at least dip your toes in without feeling like you must read the whole thing in one go and get that transcendental experience.
So yeah, do that.

Seeing that double page on roger and brojamin lighting up their cigars and chilling has me grinning like a mad bastard.

You can fight it! Remember that most of the new cards are garbage anyway!

I'd kill to play with US folk, but no cross-region multi. =(
The EU Hearthstone tourney in that thread was great fun. Hopefully there's another one when the TGT meta settles a bit.
Note to self: Don't bring Tempo Mage again this time.

I don't think tgt will help me outside of dust, I need a lot of classic cards and dr boom. There's a couple commons I would use on my mediocre priest though from tgt.

No you don't.
Just read the main Hellboy series or Library editions.
BPRD is it's own thing, Hellboy is it's own thing.
They do have a few links but the major plots of their stories are stand alone.
Stop giving excuses and go read good comics.

Why do they need to abbreviate her name. It's two more syllables. Do they talk in text chat?
I only post in comicgaf now. This is my home.

I am glad you are enjoying Valiant. It's nice knowing someone does.
I don't like your tone, mister.
man, i don't get Hearthstone
played for a while but after years of MTG it just isn't diverse or flexible enough for me
i'm still on that Valiant lore train... gonna wrap that up before Hellboy
Valiant >>> Harley

The entirety of Hellboy can be read by itself. I haven't touched any of the BPRD stuff, and I have a perfectly fine understanding of what's going on.
I think. I'll be honest, the dialogue can get super cryptic at some points. Super annoying.

No
Or have I?
It's been awhile since I read the fifth Library Edition, and I have the sixth waiting for me and I'm debating starting it today. Last I recall, Hellboy was
fighting Baba Yaga in a snowy forest alongside some fucking wolves.

Problem with getting into Magic is I'd have to travel to Dublin to get a game of any reasonable standard. I bought DOTP every year, but I don't really like Duels Origins, it messes with the paper rules too much (the new rarity system for deck building, is frankly baffling), and it should really have all the cards from the current block instead of just 80% of Origins.
I still buy cards, though if we ever bust it out for game night it ends up being EDH.

I'd offer my spare Ysera except for the whole no trading thing.
