Why can't all physical books just be well made OHCs? They make reading and shelves so nice.
...OK, maybe this is a reason for the above not being the case.

That shirt, that hair, that tattoo. It's like an aggregate of every other white dude in Brooklyn.
I have given serious thought to downsizes my collection to #essentials and 2 shortboxes in the next little while yeah
Personally I'd donate them to a school but some crafty kid would probably steal them and sell them on ebay.
Started reading Nextwave on MU and yoooo this is great, why haven't I read this before?

Kipp right?
I'm worried it will disappoint like the first Obama vs Romney debate. Trump, come out swinging please!
He does seem pretty thrifty.

The answer to that question is simple, have you read one of the two GOAT comics Planetary or Transmetropolitan? If you haven't, that's probably why you haven't.
He is. He's a real life Jimmy McGill.

I'm sure someone must. Considering how many comic artists there are.
Messi, have you been keeping up with Fresh Romance? I loooooove this book.
I'm going full digital as soon as the iPad Air 3 drops. For now I'm just buying odds and ends that I'm too lazy to run to the shop for, or that are digital-only. Fresh Romance and We Stand on Guard are my two main digital books right now.
Well that just sounds impractical. Especially when the cover of the book ends up being thicker than the material contained within.
Awesome.
The blonde is a cutie, tho. That dude reminds me of that nerd from ABC series Revolution.
I've read the former not the latter. I really liked Planetary, especially the Batman issue.

Now that you mention it... I never got around to reading the Batman issue. It's literally the last thing in the omni and I still have it bookmarked. lol
In all seriousness, I haven't read Nextwave either. Waiting for that collection in September.

Messi... Messi..... you won't pay $1 more for good comics? You gotta help those struggling artists. The lead story is keeping me glued to it.
This is a dark day.

I cant tell you which is heavier, a box of tpbs or hcs. You can usually fit more tpbs in abox but hcs are heavy all by themselves...
Moving in with my folks for about 4-6 months while my wife and I look for a house to buy. Will probably look to buy in the not yet gentrified side of east austin near Decker Lake.
I've moved like 20+ times and I am 26 ffs. The longest I've stayed in one place is like 3 years.
Yeah Im looking at these Mark Millar books and thinking hmm how many of these do I really need?
My LCS actually buys old singles and collections. Not sure about trades/hcs
1/3 of the stories being interesting means the value isn't there for me.

The others are interesting, just less so. Come on, Messi. We gotta support those romance comics.

i didn't know there was a Drive comic. I thought IDW jumped the shark finally but it's just based on the same novel the movie is based on, so that's cool i guess
Very good

Very good
Why?
It's really good. I actually found a copy of it in this haggard comic store that was only open for like 8 months in my town. I'd really love to get Cassiday and Ellis to sign it one day, hopefully one of them is at NYCC next year.
I'll have to look into the Nextwave collection, I think this is something I want to own.

Gotta resurrect the genre. I know you're gonna buy Secret Love this month.
You would be incorrect. I couldn't be any less interested in them mashing Robbie and Kamala together.

I recently realized how much digital comics have ruined me. At this point, all my physical books are just decoration. If it ain't on my ipad, it's probably not/never going to get read.

This isn't the Messi I know. Where's the Messi that bought every issue of Nocenti's Catwoman? We need that Messi.

If I had an HD tablet I'd probably go digital. I just have an iPad one. It barely works for anything outside of the web browser and comixology.
I bought the first issue. Im unsure what to think of it really. I think it would have gone better if it was two stories instead of four. I feel like each story barely gets going before the next one starts. Ill probably cop the rest later, since I've been hoping we get more romance comics.
Romance stories are also so hard to get down. I'd love to do one in the future.
Also, while it may be a bit pricy, I know for sure that the writers and artists are being compensated very fairly, so I dont quite mind the price.

Do you know if there are any particularly good collected editions of romance stories from the way-back that are worth picking up? I know IST has a bunch, but I wouldn't know what was good.
Also, keep an eye out for this in October.
All of it

Always attributed that to the readers and writers having wildly varying degrees of experience and expectation towards what constitutes a good romance tale.
Whereas with action pretty much 99.9% of the audience has only experienced that via vydyagaemz or sportz so what you tend to get is nearly always some variation of blitzkrieg or overcoming hardship through great effort/cost.

i posted in the thread. great news to wake up to!
Except this is Republicans vs. Republicans, not two presidential nominees. It'll be like a WWE match. No holds barred. They'll come out kicking and clawing at each other. It'll be brilliant.

Hm. Sounds pretty cool. Maybe I'll check it out.
But I'm not sure I want to if it destroyed Messi like this.
Can I have your pages?
