Idk Liefeld has always seemed like a nice guy. I followed someone on tumblr who asked him to sketch them a pouch at a convention a few years back and he did it for free.

Plus his Instagram is filled with pictures of his kids. I just can't imagine him not being nice knowing that.

Lol people just like to pick on him for some of the weird shit he's done, and he's a good sport about it. If it's any consolation, he drew one of my favorite covers of all time.
 
Only comics guy I met was Ivan Reis. He signed my Aquaman vol 1. He didn't say much.

Oh and I was at a nycc panel where Dan slott announced superior spider man. He hyped it by saying "no one really likes Peter Parker right?"

Dead silence, it was hilarious.
 
Knights of the Old Republic
Crimson Empire
The Dark Empire
Legacy (125 years after the Battle of Yavin, written by Ostrander)
The Purge
The Dark Times
Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison
Darth Vader and the Lost Command
Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin

Can you tell that the Dark Times is my favourite era of Star Wars?

Also, as far as the Dresden sale, I've read Ghoul Goblin and War Cry, they are both decent. I have not read Welcome to the Jungle, but Jim actually wrote all of that one so it's probably worth checking out. For a fiver, I definitely will.

For me, Dresden comics go War Cry > Welcome to the Jungle >>>> Ghoul Goblin. Definitely worth picking up. Haven't read the book adaptations yet, though.

Funny timing since I just started (re)watching the series like a few days ago. (I've had the DVDs for a while, but I only ever tried watching them through with some other people and that fell apart midway through). It really is an awesome series, and even the CG stuff holds up surprisingly well by being nicely stylized. (And it's acting as a nice counterbalance to Serial Experiments Lain, which I just started for the first time and would totally bum me out if I didn't follow it up with Zim just because of the mood it aims for).

Good recommendations. Knights of the Old Republic and the Ghost Prison are my favourites. I'm tempted to grab the X-Wing omnibus as I've heard some good things.

James Romberger interviews Tonci Zonjic

Best interview this year. People need to talk to artists more, about craft, influence, etc, but really EVERYTHING
Only read a bit so far, but this is a really well done interview. You always post good articles and whatnot.
I'm not entirely convinced of that.
I can't look at Invader Zim without thinking of Hot Topic and Deviantart around 2006... I don't remember being a fan when it was airing either.
 
Yeah, you're nearing the end of the era now. Do yourself a favour though and skip ASM 638-641, a literally worthless storyline. After that you got Origin of Species by Waid and Azaceta which is the last full arc and 647 which feels like an ending to BND and sets up the solo Slott era (which we're still in, 5 years later gott damn)

Aw, it's a bummer to hear all that... and One Moment in Time sucks?? Damn, I've actually been looking forward to getting there because I heard early on that OMiT explains some of how OMD works and fleshes it out more or maybe undoes it a bit.

So, "Big Time" is kind of the start of the next era, then?

I have already read the two annihilation series, it's because of these that I can't bring myself to skip a few years in my catch up. I wasn't particularly a Space Marvel fan, but Abnett changed my tune.

Hear hear. I LOVED it. I stopped for a while at the end of Annihilators because I heard that when Cosmic Marvel picks back up for Marvel Now it's not really as good, but I'm still looking forward to it anyway.

I'd actually love for Marvel to make a Star Trek esque TV show set in MCU space. Like, have some minor characters be the stars, and all the alien races are the various Marvel alien races.

Because I've heard good things about it I picked up Silk #1 today, I also found and picked up Harley Quinn Invades Comic-Con International San Diego. Oh yeah, also got Jubilee Bishoujo.
 
I was thinking earlier about that well done Liefeld drawing and Liefeld in general. He's by all accounts a very friendly and passionate guy who has made the type of comics he's wanted to and been really successful at it. He seemed to make the most out of his limited talent, but that drawing makes me wonder why he's drawn the exact same way for so long. Not that I've read his comics throughout the years, but he never seemed to have an evolving artstyle.

His art didn't seem to reflect any growth. I'm really just very confused about the whole thing. Did he continue to draw like he did in the 90s to appeal to his fans? I must know

The only comics person I've met who was a dick was Ethan Van Sciver, dude was a total creeper and just rude in general.
He was really nice when I met him when I was around 19 or 20. I showed him some sample Spider-Man pages and he actually took some time to go through my work and suggest ways I could improve. He also taught me 3 point perspective. He gave me a B+ and said I was 'almost there'

Whilce Portacio was super nice too. He told me to start inking my own work so I could understand so I could make my linework more clear and crisp. He gave his card and asked me to send him some inked samples once I had finished some. I sent some over to him about a week later but didn't hear back.

Cassaday was pretty complimentary and said my work reminded him of Mike Zeck's. Mike Huddleston was a cool dude. Joe Eisma seemed pretty shy. Michael Golden was also really nice and took a good bit of time to talk to me. I think the only guy who was kind of dickish to me was Len Wein.

The nicest artist I've met is Kristian Donaldson. He's a pretty funny guy and he absolutely loves comics and talking about making them. I definitely learned more from him than anyone else I've met.

The very same. Some of his proudest possessions are autographs by McCarthy (or "Senator McCarthy" as Van Sciver calls him)
Legit shook by this
 
Wow, just watched CliffyB's Order first hour let's play. I can see why it got the negative reviews it did. Some interesting commentary from CliffyB though.
 
So I heard this song last night for the first time in like ten years. I was watching a movie, it wasn't really holding my interest, and my brain pumped out this monstrosity.

I'm so sorry.

MUSIC PLEASE!

Ladies and gentlemen
This is ComicGAF OT!

One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the thread, so come on let's ride
To the LCS around the corner
The boys say they want some Zenescope
But I really don't wanna
Pull list, like I had last week
Their pockets are deep, Marvel paper is cheap
I like Angela, Gamora, Carol and Selina
And as I continue you know they're getting sweeter
So what can I do? I really beg you, my board
To me events aren't good since Secret Wars
Anything big two, it's all good, indies
Please send in the waifus

A little bit of Spider-Gwen in my life
A little bit of Katie-Kate by my side
A little bit of Kara is all I need
A little bit of Harley is what I see
A little bit of Anderson in Mega-City One
A little bit of Hannah all night long
A little bit of Kamala here I am
A little bit of you makes me your fan

ComicGAF OT!

Take all your trades down and move 'em all around
Shake your head to the sound
Of your omnis on the ground
Take a statue left and Hot Toy right
One to the Funko and one to the side
Crack your wallet once and pre-order twice
And if your shelf's like this then you're doing it right

A little bit of Morrison in my life
A little bit of Jack & Stan by my side
A little bit of Ennis is all I need
A little bit of Fraction is what I see
A little bit of Mark Waid in the sun
A little bit of Vaughan all night long
A little bit of Bendis here I am
A little bit of you makes me your fan

Omnis!
The omnis!
ComicGAF OT!
(ha ha ha)

A little bit of JC in my life
A little bit of Zombine by my side
A little bit of Cheska is all I need
A little bit of Freeza is what I see
A little bit of Messi in the sun
A little bit of Kipp all night long
A little bit of KoruptData here I am
A little bit of Shards makes me your man

I do all I do
To buy all these books just like you
My overdraft, it just can't hide
My credit card bill's gonna touch the sky
