Oh man. That
peyote hallucination
issue of Preacher after the Salvation arc. Too good.
I really think Preacher is my favorite comics run of all time. I have a feeling I'll be re-reading this yearly. The best part about having a terrible memory is that re-reading things more than a few months after I first read them is like reading it for the first time all over again.

Speaking of Preacher... stay tuned to see your favorite comic ever turned into an average-at-best hit series on AMC in 2016! ;)
 
You can only show your custom avatar with those you shared your real name with

Unless you're talking about an avatar you got off PSN, which you can just change somewhere in the settings and anyone can see it

Can you even buy PSN avatars in the PS4 shop? I'd heard you can't, and need to use the webshop. Super-dumb.

Man, the Vietnam issues of Preacher are just incredible. Definitely a highlight of an already fantastic series.

This page in particular was so good; and for context, they're standing at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. (People who are currently reading Preacher, there are very minor spoilers that you might as well avoid by not clicking that link.)

Also, ViewtifulJC, Spaceman is totally you when you're older. I made you something:

Haha. I don't even want to watch it because I know it can never compare. Especially because there's no way they could give it the full Preacher treatment on cable TV.
I'll probably be too curious to not watch it though.

Angela: Asgard's Assassin #1 was quite a bit better than I expected it to be... if you're a fan of Kieron Gillen's other Asgardian works, I'd recommend it. If it can keep the momentum going in future issues, it'll have a spot on my pull list.

The Humans #2 was another fun issue and like someone said earlier in the thread, it does have a very punk-rock vibe going on, which meshes well with its other main influence - 60s/70s biker exploitation films. How can you not love Planet of the Apes meets The Wild Angels? I'll be picking up single issues of this as long as it lasts.
 
With PSN avatars, you can see custom ones if they were uploaded through the phone apps. Messi, what is my avatar when you look at it?

Edit - nvm. I was wrong. That's stupid.
 
*deep breaths*

Allred is better in my opinion but i can't hate on Cooke. #TeamAllred

Quitely is better than Cooke though. Now, Quitely vs. Allred.... i can't even go there
objectively probably still quitely tho

Allred is the bomb. Like Ben Affleck in Phantoms. Ok that wasnt a great example. ALLRED IS KING! What id give for original art of his...

Spiderman and I don't have your real name on there. This makes no sense. I uploaded mine on the app too.

Oh man, Allred was at Long Beach Comic Con and I saw the original art... It was absolutely glorious, but it was also like $2000 a pop. I think Laura mentioned to me that it was 10 or 20% off since they weren't going to be at any more conventions for about a year. That was cool, because $1600 is way more in my budget. :p

I feel like I would have taken that plunge.

Moore is always pissed. I think he is so senile at this point he is not even sure what he is pissed at anymore.

The writing in Crossed confirms this.

Not to tempt anyone, but you can always go to Got Super Powers?, where Mike Allred and Toby Cypress sell some of their original art... for under $1000 you can get a page from X-Statix! He also has a few iZombie 2-page spreads for about $1600.

Ah yeah, forgot to mention that Allred was only selling covers. Or at least that I saw. I didn't look through his whole book since I knew I wasn't going to buy anything and didn't want to hog the book. So yeah, that was the reason for the $2000 price tag.

hmmmm... if i don't go to any cons for a year, and don't buy any comics, and maybe skip lunch enough times, I should have just enough
 
HNNNNNNG. This NEEDS to happen.



Nah, sorry. I'm a filthy trade-waiter. I'm super excited to read it when it gets released in one of Dark Horse's fantastic hardcovers though. Hopefully the initial release is hardcover rather than it being released first as a TPB and then collected in a Library Edition in a couple years.
I love young Hellboy though and I absolutely love the idea of Maleev doing Hellboy, so the hardcover release really can't come soon enough. It'll be a long wait. Haha
I saw that you enjoyed it though! How was Maleev's art? Was it as insanely awesome as I expect it to be?

It is great.. His Hellboy art... just something about that art style, its just perfect for me. Its different from a lot of books I read and enjoy the hell out of it.
It was a great first issue,, really cool idea. Hellboy in the inbetween stages of a kid and adult. On his first mission.
This first 5-6 mini series is in 1952, and then they are doing another mini series witch will take place in 1953 and I think maybe continuing.

Awesome! I really, really look forward to reading it whenever that may be. Haha
 
Hey guys,
I need some spending advice. My mom is getting me Amazon cash for xmas and I'm looking at the following:
Doom Patrol Omnibus
Uncanny X-Men Omnibus 2
Y The Last Man (probably all of them)
Hellboy Library Editions

Yep, you're all set.
If you're looking for advice: Click the "Place Order" button.
 
Shit, yeah, posted too soon.
I was thinking of getting only 1-2 of those (for now anyway).
Which takes top priority?

The Doom Patrol Omnibus takes top priority over all other comic books, friend

Just ask Kipp, slightconfuse, Tryant Rave, and whatsinaname, all satisfied customers

Confirmed. Whatever you get, CorporateClown, at least get the Doom Patrol omnibus.

What kind of comics do you like? Doom Patrol is going to be everyone's first choice but I'd like to know some of your favorite comics and how versed in the medium you are before I could recommend it over something like Y the Last Man.

I was thinking. What if someone bought all of Nocenti's Catwoman again. Maybe they would reverse the decision and move us back to the OT. I am willing to be the guinea pig.

Yep, Doom Patrol. Best comic I have read all year and definitely in my Top 5.

My order in that list would be

1 - Doom Patrol
2 - Hellboy
3 - Y The Last Man

(I haven't read Uncanny X-Men).

In other news, I don't have a car payment anymore!. Maybe I should stretch for a set of Starman Omnibuses next month.

or maybe it gets us locked down, several key members banned, and becomes a shell of its former self like NBAGAF

Id have to sell a lot of my atuff and orobably get a divorce to afford and be allowed it, but I want some of that art so badly. You are right it is damn pricey. Worth it though. Original art is a rich persons game and I am in the wrong business if I want to get rich.

I am happy to take donations if original comic art though...
