Oh geez. I wish you the best of luck. I read the first issue of The Boys, and even as a huge Ennis fan and a huge Preacher fan, is was WAY too much for me. Absolutely over the top in every single way. Give it a shot and get back to us. Haha

Giving it one last chance. If it doesn't hook me I'm done. Not optimistic.

I'm honestly pretty surprised. For some reason, I just assumed you loved Ms Marvel.

I've never read Ennis (haven't started Preacher yet) so I'm being as cautious as one should be. That shit about raping tapeworms has painted the dude in a seriously fucked up light.

If The Boys is your first Ennis then you'll, no joke, probably be turned off on the dude for a few years

Yes, the only difference between simon pegg, garth ennis and wee hughie is the facial hair. Hughie is a self-insert.

I feel like being a double leg amputee in the MU is one of those things that shouldn't be an issue. Why does Flash still have to roll around in a wheelchair when the doesn't have the symbiote on? It's kind of dumb anyway for a guy who hangs out with the Avengers, but it's truly absurd after he starts hanging out in space. You can't get a new pair of legs in the broader galactic community? You can probably get any kind of bio prosthetic you want on Knowhere at the 7-11.

Wait, seriously? Haven't been reading this, but... Like, Jack Flag is in a wheelchair when he joins the Guardians and they like immediately make him able to walk again with space tech like it's no thing at all.

Ok guys, just read the first issue. thanks for building up how off-putting this would be because I actually prepared myself for more. I actually like it.

I went to a comic shop today with a bunch of cash in my pocket wanting to buy an action figure. There were a few that were really close to something I wanted, but not quite.
Like, I saw a Martha Washington action figure, which I had no idea existed, and I was stoked to find it, but it was an absolutely awful figure.
And then I saw Preacher action figures, but again, they were just awful figures.
Then I saw an Orion (New Gods line) action figure that was only $12 and super good quality, but they didn't have Darkseid and it looks like the Darkseid figure goes for like $50, so I couldn't just get Orion and I didn't get it.

I tried though. I tried.

which shop?

What part of Secret Wars are you enjoy? Is it the main series from Hickman, or are there other real gems in there?

I'm at about 85% of all tie-ins.

What? No. It's even worse. You got a teenager like Hellion running around with perfect prosthetic hands , which would be miles more complex than legs, and yet Flash is going all Hurr Durr No Legs.

Yeah, and Karma too, and others I'm sure if we think about it for a sec...

It would defeat the purpose of having a disabled character if you're going to just sci-fi them back into being able. It was absurd enough when DC retconned Oracle.

Yeah, I mean I know that's the real, out side of fiction reason. It's just weird when he's right along side other characters who just immediately get fixed. Like...

Oh my god, I forgot about Jack Flag!
not unlike Bendis
There you go, that really makes it even more ridiculous.

It might not make sense but I love what Flash's disability brings to the character. Makes for a lot of interesting moments (though Remender did it better than Bendis, admittedly).

Lol I don't think I posted a list more than twice. I've always used Midtown. The only thing they have a lag on is manga.
Click to expand...

Midtown probably posts early because when a comic shop gets their weekly delivery from Diamond, they also get their invoice for the following week. If it ain't on the invoice, it ain't coming out.

The only difference? They're not a like at all. Never mind Robertson mentioning using Pegg as a reference.

Ugh Alice my girlfriend loved that shitty movie so I guess I'll be seeing that. Hopefully the sequel keeps those creepy Matt Lucas mutant twin abominations.

Yep. Bad idea.

I would have watched it, the last one was pretty good.
