Actually, come to think of it, the only female characters in that movie are the title character and Miracle Max's wife. It's pretty much a sausage fest.
Damn good movie, though.

For some reason, that fight sequence looks very static to me. Like a fight in KOTOR as opposed to Jedi Knight II.
JC left us for our sins.

Gatta read We Stand On Gaurd #2 listening to The Weakerthans & Propagandhi.
I freaking love everything about Midnighter.
The juxtaposition of the violence and M.'s personal life is just so well done, I was just telling Korupt about how much last month's flashback with Apollo just ruined me. And then this month with him clubbing and then the fight and the conclusion, it's just so good.
I wish Steve Orlando was coming to our local con so I could hang out at his table and talk to him all day.
Bought some books today :
Teen Titans Vol 1 Blinded by the light
Mystique Ultimate Collection
Angela Asgard Assassin Vol 1 Priceless
Copra Round 1
Copra Round 2
Huntress : Crossbow at the crossroads
Deathstroke Vol 1 God's of War
I know little to nothing about Copra and Huntress but you guys were hyped for Copra so I bought it. I wanted a Huntress story so I took a punt as I liked the art. It's probably crap and I'll probably love it.

Midnighter #3:
these Apollo breakup flashbacks are killing me. I'm just glad it ended without either of them breaking character.
Re: your spoilers
You and me both.
I also really enjoyed the fight against Multiplex and then him punching that dude's brain out

How does one even begin to think like this
How
this is... a fair point
Huh, I guess I should get around to reading #1
My girlfriend loved that Huntress book it's the only comic outside of Fairest she was buying the issues for as they came out. Doesn't say much for it's quality but I think she would like most of the things you read.
Going to try and pick up Angela today when I go to the comic store later.

Deadly Class lost me today.
Clearly this means it's time to drop the book. D:
Playing a Punch-Out! with Mike Tyson on what appear to be SNES controllers with sound effects from the arcade games and also it's apparently two players? WTF that's 100x kinds of wrong!

So, TIL something cool:
Jack Kirby was involved with the original, IRL events that inspired Argo (which probably played a big part in getting Affleck and Terrio on BvS); he drew a lot of the art they used to sell the movie cover story!

I found out about this fairly recently too. The next Heavy Metal magazine is carrying full colour prints of those images! I bought a 1 year subscription just to get that issue. Lord of Light one of my favourite sci-fi books.
Edit: io9 has some more colour images.

Yeah, saw those when I was googling the story. Really like this one:
Also:
Now I'm sad that there isn't a crazy Hindu-mythology-inspired, Jack-Kirby-Designed theme park out there somewhere. Truly, this is the darkest timeline.

One of my coworkers started talking comics with me today and he namedropped Image and Valiant holy shit
Mirror's Edge looks so sick on all fronts. I don't think I could love the aesthetic stylings of that game anymore than I do.
Never mind any of that, we're getting a Paradox grand strategy game in SPACE!
Yeah okay Mirror's Edge looked dope.

I'm hyped as hell for Stellaris, but the immediate comparisons my brain made to Sword of the Stars have me hurting a little on the inside.
What about Loki.
It's got like, one or two issues left

Yeah I seen it years ago. One of my friends was obsessed with it. Lol.

Lol I think the real question is: What doesn't gketter read?
For Viz manga, I'd recommend One Punch Man, One Piece, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'd just recommend the anime for HxH tbh.

Yup. Loved archer and Armstrong and harbinger. Moved to Ivar. I read x-o but that last arc fizzled. Wish the valiant was an ongoing. Ninjack is losing me and I need to check out imperrium. I have the first couple but haven't read.
Sell me more on the books and why. I'm picking up on some more jojo, claymore, one piece and one man punch that are out

Hahahahaha. I can't even imagine how daunting it would be to start One Piece at this point. One Punch Man is great, though.
I impulse-bought issue 1 and have been with it ever since. It might be DC's secret best book.
We've talked about how good that book is every month since it launched in June

I can confirm this. I bought issue one today. DC CMX discounts have caught up! Excited to check midnighter and the omega men out this weekend

I'll give Omega Man a shot cause of the praise here. Still need to check out Midnighter too.

Looking at the Viz sale - mangas are so long, damn. Probably gonna finally check out One Punch Man. I've wanted to get back into One Piece too, but there's so much of it.

One-Punch Man for the great action and art. It balances being a parody of the superhero genre with playing the same tropes straight too. It is hilarious at times.
Solanin because it is a very well written coming-of-age story. And it's got that unique slice-of-life pacing which many Manga do so well. It is complete, so it should be a quick read too.

I do a longform piece every time it drops extolling how weird and awesome the book is. Haven't been able to read it today or else I'd do another one.
It's fantastic. It's strange, but not in a Morrison-esque "holy shit so many drugs" sort of way. It's operating on this odd perspective, like watching a foreign show from an unfamiliar culture.

Mangas aren't really that long if you consider them to be the manga equivalent of trades.
Assassination Classroom I'll vouch for.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights happened before that, and it was good.
