Just... don't put it on the floor. I don't know why any comics are on the floor ever but that would break me. Best variant.

A community move huh?.... I hope we still get new posters in. I feel like its easier to pop in to a thread on regular off topic than a community thread.
Yeah but what will happen when you move to Colorado and get a more normal job? You can start thinking of 3 am as the time you should really get to sleep like the rest of us!

You know what's awesome? Eating ravioli, drinking a cranberrita and reading Blakents. This is my favorite way to spend my evenings
I'm very picky about any kind of pasta. The sauce has to be just the right consistency.

that shit won't fly lolYou're also talking to an Italian person. I basically bleed pasta.
My Strangers in Paradise omnibus also got the suspended in mid-box plastic wrap treatment. I think the box itself could hold 5 or more of them.
Way to step up Amazon. Big step up from the "You don't even get a whole box, you get a piece of cardboard wrapped around the book" they used to do.
I won 150 dollars on a scratch-off ticket today. Miiiiiiiiiight have to blow it on the Steranko Artist's Edition. Though there is a gigantic lightpad/box on sale at Jerry's Artarama for 120...

She does look pretty good. Face #2 looks weird, though. Dat empty stare.

Do you call pasta sauce gravy? When I watched The Sopranos, that always weirded me out.

But it's not gravy. Your statements are misleading.
I'm psyched for the Suicide Squad movie because Ayer is a great director and it's literally my favorite superhero team and maybe it means we FINALLY get some proper reprints of the Ostrander run but I'm so fucking worried now that Will Smith is in there because isn't he the guy with a bus full of his own writers fucking up movies to make him look good?
Deadshot supposed to own in SQ anyway =p

Cut the cord. They'll live without you. My shop did. Comics is so much better when it's digital + trades. No ads, no commute to buy comics, not suckered into variant covers that you discard after a viewing or two, everything stays in good condition, and no board,bag,organization nonsense

huh, that's... not bad. Glad Jai isn't playing Deadshot, that would've been awful. Maybe he'll be okay playing the total scumbag

Y'all fellas are not holding down the physical front at all. Don't you love that feeling of heading over to the comic shop on Wednesday, grabbing your pull and realizing they left out the only books you actually wanted to read, navigating those stank-ass isles trying to get to your books, sifting through copies looking for a not fucking creased/ripped/beat up one?
Fuck it, ViewtifulJC is right.

me I personally love not reading comics while i eat to lower the risk of spilling food on my pages, or touching the pages with grease. Or accidentally setting them down on a wet surface. That shit's awesome. Fuck digital.

Rainy days at the comic shop are hell. I've seen fools flood books shaking off rain like dumb dogs in the middle of a shop.

Comic book shops need some of those industrial blow dryers (like at the end of a car wash) for their entrances.
Kipp! Kipp!
I like your avatar. Also yours, Fauxtrot. I usually have avatars switched off at work so I didn't notice it before, don't know if you changed it recently or not. Anyway. Johann is awesome.
Comic book day. And the run up to Christmas. Wednesdays are always a good day, December gets me in a good mood, I think I'm going to go through today with a super positive mental attitude.

I'd be living the dream, man!
Nice! I'm glad you got to experience that awesome shipping quality as well. I was so impressed.
And congrats on the scratch-off ticket, too! Buy something good.
Thanks!
On a related note, I know I don't keep up with video games all that much anymore but what the hell is this?!?
Other than the stomach armorplate this looks pretty awesome imo.

Secret Six #1 art looks pretty cool. I know nothing about Secret Six but may check it out to see what Gail Samone has to say.

Also... I finally finished reading Chew Vol. 8 the other day... noticed this
God Hates Astronauts Star Fighter shirt
Yeah they have olive wear different comic/pop culture t-shirts. They had her in a lying cat shirt a few issues back and the threadless pac man shirt.
I bought the Harley power girl space variant today. Also the Madman 3D special.
The cover for the revival HC is just gorgeous and matches the first one perfectly. I also touched the Saga HC and it was so pretty but it was 50 and I ain't no fool.

It's gravy! It's not pasta sauce, its gravy!
Though I have a theory that calling it gravy is a Southern Italian and or Sicilian thing. My family is mostly Southern Italian/Sicilian and we call it gravy. A few of my friends whose families are more Northern Italian call it sauce. Almost every one of Southern Italian, or Sicilian decent I know calls it gravy.
I never watched the Sopranos myself but it makes sense they would call it gavy on that, since most mafia people in the US came from Sicily or around there.
I haven't either but with my new found Allred love I had to give it a go
Just the tips is also smaller than you might imagine.

Are Comixology downloads really slow (or is it just my connection)?
On my ipad they are done in about 30 seconds.

I have really slow downloads depending on the time of day. I find it really inconsistent. On an ipad for reference.
Other services such as steam, XBL, amazon prime, torrents have great D/L rates so I dont think its my net.

It might be just the time of day, then. I was trying to download at about 9:00 PM yesterday, and one issue took 5 mins+.

I was wondering where the December thread went.
Anyone else doing the Marvel Unlimited subscription work around to get it for $9/year? Because I just did.

Might as well not even buy it. No way can it live up to your expectations at this point. Based Francavilla has failed you.
The beauty of digital comics: not having to go out in the rain to buy your comics! I can stay cuddled up in bed with my fur babies, and read the day away
I thought that said Fur boobies. Then I re read and was disappointed.
It's one big day of letdown for Ol' Messi
