Listen to Kipp. He knows things
So another weekend where my plans get away from me. Wanted something to do while watching some youtube/twitch streams so I fired up Castlevania SOTN to do another playthrough. It's been years and years since. What was just to fill time has consumed my afternoon. Man the game is so good.
Also getting close to being caught up on my newish singles backlog. Only have 10 issue left!

Maybe the best ever.

Rgr.
I'm totally getting this next month. I've been buying too much serious shit. Quantum & Woody only has so many issues.
That happened to me a few years ago with SOTN. Just randomly picked it up again one day and blazed through it in a couple of days.
To me it is the best romance comic I've read. I am sure Sunstone will be up there some day, it is already well on its way. But sip is amazing and is such a long book.
Launchpad, SiP isn't all fun and games. Sometimes it gets very real.
Should I just take a picture of my shelf and you can just go ahead and order all the stuff I have? It'll save you a bit of time in the long run.
But yeah, you should definitely pick up SiP. It's incredible.
Can't believe I got it for only $55 too. For over 2000 pages of brilliant comics. That value.
Very likely. I don't feel qualified to say that though since I'm pretty sure it's the only romance comic I've ever read. I don't see how anyone could possibly do one any better though.
Very much this. One issue you'll be cracking up and the next you'll be wondering where you left the tissue box.

Kipp, why don't you give Sunstone a try? Give love a chance to grow.
I've been meaning to actually. I'll toss it into an IST order sometime soon.

Well, you can't really judge an ongoing series against a complete work like SiP.
Vol. 3 comes out on the 25th, so just scoop them all up then.
Absolutely.as a completed work SiP is incredible. Sunstone still has a long way to go if he manages to pull off what he wants to do.

Kipp pls don't. It'll cost me a lot of money in the long run.
I was going to pick SiP up eventually anyway. Messi said it was his favorite series at one point, next to Sunstone, and Sunstone is goddamn amazing.
you should check that out btw
Get that SiP omnibus, ludicrous value for two books.

He also needs to release a statue, because, you know, SiP has some statues out there.

Actually, question, what are the pocket books? Are they smaller?
Much smaller

If I recall, they're digest-sized TPBs. Get the omnibus.

I meant to specify page size-wise, though I guess that's what you meant. I just saw someone selling them for cheap on ebay, but I rather go with larger sized pages.
barf.
Rachel rising is also amazing but it's not exactly a love story. Plus he told me on Twitter that an omni was coming for that when it is all done.
That's awesome. I'm glad I'm only buying it digitally.
Moore's current book. It's horror and it's awesome.

Well I have read SiP but it was about 7 years ago and I dont remember much except really liking it.
Horror is always good.
Are there any Oversized Hardcovers with Lovecratian Horrorstory? Can be adaption from the grandmaster, but doesnt need to.
Ethan Carter made me realize that I am starving for new storys that is connected to Lovecrafts cosmis horror and since nobody writes good books anymore...

Then it sounds like a perfect time for a reread
We should do a book club for it.
Fatale is the only lovecraftian comic I've read that is good.

I'm definitely not ready for this. Maybe in a month.
I'm doing my own Alias book club right now.

I bought the OHC and I have idea what it's about. Brubaker+Phillips have that power over me.
Is very much in that weird horror vain. I'd definitely recommend it.

Media/Freeza/zombeen. When are you finally picking up Moores other series Echo? It's solo good but nobody has bought in. It's the forgotten run and it's all collected in one affordable book!

Anyone that has loved SIP or Rachel's Rising will dig this one too

Oh yeah? We'll see about that!
Yesss. Will buy.
What Gketter said. Sounds like a perfect time for a reread. Haha
I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. If you like it, I really want to hear why, since I really didn't like it at all.
Ooh. I almost forgot about that (even though it's on my IST wishlist somewhere). I could go for some more Terry Moore.

Man, you need to read SiP, dude.
