TheFlow? What's the pool on me up to right now? What's it up to? What is it, three hundred dollars -- is that it? Three hundred?
I'm a school teacher. I teach English Composition in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was coach of the baseball team in the spring time.
Back home when I tell people what I do for a living, they think, well, that, that figures.
But over here it's a big, a big mystery. So I guess I've changed some.
Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even gonna recognize me whenever it is I get back to her -- and how I'll ever be able to tell her about days like today.

Felipe Smith is writing the next Ghost Rider series. Between this and Kaare Andrews returning to Iron Fist, I'd be surprised if they didn't announce another Jeff Lemire Hawkeye series
Didn't people like his writing on the last Ghost Rider series?
The Daimon Scott art was what ruined the book.

I think Iron Fist is lame, but the art in that Andrews series was nice.

His art wasn't the only problem. The second arc of the book was just a repeat of the first arc but this time Robbie's bullies got their hands on the drugs. It wasn't interesting and it got boring really fast since it was clear Smith was stalling so he could close out the book in time for Secret Wars. The only new info we got was that the spirit was slowly taking over Robbie and making him do violent things.
#dead. I am so lost on the first half.
But woah had no idea you were in the school system let alone an English teacher. Now I gotta watch my spelling when quoting you.

I've driven 950 miles over the last few days. Celebrating being home by not reading comics.
Happy birthday, Ed.

If I did this, my car would have such a meltdown that they would be teaching it in grade school a hundred years from now.

The comments I saw were basically the same as the ones for the last Batgirl run. Good art, not so good story/writing.

He's a black artist (I think he's black lol) based in Japan who got some fame from his manga, Peepo Choo.
Also he's the character designer for Nick's TMNT show.
Well the main rule for comic book writing is to show not tell lol.
Thanks for the info. He is ok in my book because the TMNT designs are on point.

Nothing wrong with that in my eyes.

Finished Rachel Rising. What a wonderful comic. The ending felt a little sudden, like the book was building toward something bigger but was interrupted. Great series, though. Glad I bought it.
Damn, I really like that art style.

He's the one with dreads:
Again, I think he's black. lol
That's because it was interrupted by people not buying it anymore.

iirc that's exactly what happened, but I can't find the quote.
Glad you enjoyed it, such a great comic. Can't wait to see what Moore gets up to next.

I thought that might be the case. Shame. One of the best comics I've read in years. Even with the ending it got.
He looks black, white, and Hispanic all at once. Someone might have to ask him on Twitter because I can't tell
Yep. It's really wonderful and it's a shame he will only be doing mini series going forward. But I understand. The sales aren't there. It annoys me that he would be so much more successful sales wise if the book was the exact same but had an image logo on it.

I still miss Rachel. A lot. There are maybe two or three books I look forward to as much as I looked forward to RR

Holy shit! This page hits way too close to home, especially here on GAF whenever someone makes a comics vs manga thread:

Ha ha, this is perfect.
Man, I love Marvel NOW oversized hardcovers. They're built exactly the same as their omnis (unlike their older ones which had glued bindings while the omnis had sewn), they're MOSTLY affordable, and they're the perfect size to be able to read them anywhere, at around 250-400 pages in general.
Got a pretty nice collection of them now. I still need to get: Daredevil Vol. 4 and 5, Superior Spider-Man Vol. 1 and 2, Amazing Spider-man Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and All-New X-Men Vol. 4 (just got Vol. 3 today).

Bendis' Guardians. Good choice. You gotta collect the rest of Superior Spider-Man.

Fwiw, there aren't a whole lotta people in the biz that have a sense of action as solid as Tradd Moore's.
I know, and I better do it soon while they're still on IST. They've been out of stock on Amazon for awhile now and I'm afraid they're OOP and IST just still has some stock left.
Sheriff. 100%
They really don't. Secret Wars had real bad delays. You remember ANAD had started well before the end of Secret Wars

That first arc of BND was so jarring. Whether you supported the breakup of the marriage or not, it just felt weird to go from a dark tragedy to a story with this really forced, disingenuous "hey guys, we're all having wacky fun, right?!" energy.
A few copies of the first BND got sent to me by troll friends, and I used crumpled up pages as packing material for a while.
