Lewd poses break expensive toys :/

If you aren't playing with your collectible figurines Jim Sterling-style, you shouldn't even have them.

It's why I don't buy them. If it can't take part in the Marvel Legends Royal Rumble (this may have been a thing that happened over Christmas with my nephews), I don't want to know about it.

Joe mad lasted a whole 3 issues I believe and each of them was heavily delayed.

 

[KoruptData]

I thought the point of buying a expensive posable action figure is to you know, put it in different poses, hence, the articulation. I have bought 2, they both broke just moving an arm or a leg. Never again. RIP Catwoman and Darkseid.

 

[Messi]

Thankfully none of my Hot Toys have broken. It seems to be a DC issue if my scouting is correct.

 

[kd-z]

I'd buy a Secret Avengers Complete Collection. Superior Foes too. They don't use that format enough, it's just right for me. They did announce a Secret Warriors CC, definitely getting that.

Yeah, the Complete/Ultimate Collection or OHC are just perfect. A 12-issue hardcover is comfortable to read, but the book also looks sweet on the shelf when its title is, you know, readable. Some trades are so tiny you can barely tell what comic it is!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Marvel is doing Powers omnibus collections now? Whaaaaaa? The one solicited for April includes #1-37.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Man, Avengers Forever is just delightful.

 

[Zombine]

When the hell is Sideshow going to make me a damn Darkseid sitting in chair statue?

 

[Bii]

Ahahahaha,

Spoiler

it's true!

 

[Splatt]

Man, Avengers Forever is just delightful.

While I love almost all of Busiek's work, he does have a bad habit of not letting art tell the story.

On topic, Avengers Forever is my favorite Carlos Pacheco work.

*sniffles* ... okay.

I feel like this is all the more common now. It's really an age of "seasons" of comics, with creators telling the story they want and bailing, aside from the heavy hitters like Snyder or Aaron or Bendis or Remender or Hickman who go more sprawling.

I'm okay with it.

Best Lego set ever, it has the freaking invisible jet. There's also some random Batman mech but we didn't bother building that.

He's better now. This was still the age of Claremont style comics.

Also, I totally agree. This was the perfect era of Pacheco. Still rocking thick lines, still getting cartoony. Such good stuff.

 

[Rrongfield]

when is the next Velvet coming? it seems like its been a few months

Comiclist has it for February 4th

 

[TetraxShards]

Man, Avengers Forever is just delightful.

So, so good. I was 11 when that came out, and it's probably the story that solidified me as a comics fan.

 

[Rhaknar]

Inhuman #1 - 2: I liked it. I would like to know what exactly happened with Black Bolt releasing the mists and Attilan falling down to earth (did that happen in F4 or something?), but im intrigued. Human torch ver. 2.0 notwithstanding, Inhumans were always characters I was curious to know more about so this interrests me. But lets not kid ourselves, the main reason I liked it and read it was the art...oh lordy, dat art

goddamn I love me some Joe Mad. Im just excited to see him drawing again

Joe mad lasted a whole 3 issues I believe and each of them was heavily delayed.

...I hate you Messi >_<

 

[TetraxShards]

Hey man, Joe Mad's got stuff to do. Those video games won't play themselves.

This makes me laugh every time it comes up.

That looks cool. I have been playing through Lego Batman 3 and fricken love it. It easily has to be my favorite Lego game ever. So much DC fan service. Please tell me Darkseid is a playable character at least in Free Mode.

He's in one of the upcoming DLC packs.

oh thats what Infinity is? cool, will get to it as I catch up with the Avengers books and whatnot

 

[Memento Mori]

It happened in Infinity which is the big event set halfway through Hickman's Avengers run. Finish Fantastic Four before you read it.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Yeah, Infinity (or at least the New Avengers side of the story) definitely helps set the stage for the Inhuman series. And it definitely made me want to read some more Inhuman stuff.

 

[KoruptData]

Cool! I bought the season pass. Loved the Arrow DLC.

I've been meaning to pick that up for a while. I need to get around to it.

In a way, I encouraged him by buying and completing both Darksiders games, but I want it on the record that I only did that because Kipp told me to.

All of the superhero minifigs have a happy and angry face, my wife picked angry Diana.

but that was making games, not playing games. and that company is dead so he needs to get his ass back to drawing damn it

As someone who only got into Lego a few years ago I couldn't understand this.

It was all worth it for the scene in The LEGO Movie when

Spoiler

Good Cop/Bad Cop's Good Cop face is removed with rubbing alcohol, and they have to draw on a new one.

 

[tim1138]

tim you should vacuum your carpet

Yeah probably, that rug is a magnet for dog hair.

 

[Messi]

I wish the lego games were online. I have little to no interest in playing alone.

The Darksiders 3 dream is never dead, you take that back!

Yeah but then I can't play as lego Harley or Babs.

I bought Star-Lord during that B1G1 free back in November. My freebie was Colossus.

Well yeah, but....

Now we're talking.

I will buy the Avengers and Guardians packs in the Steam Summer Sale. Maybe, if the new rig is complete by then.

I always miss these special days. I heard on Saturday you got a free character. Unfortunately I had work all day and couldn't log in before the day was out.

Didn't hear about that one. Don't play the game often enough to do so.

Anyone here read it (I guess quite a few people probably!)? What did you guys think?

tl;dr comix = life, <3

While I often have issues with some of Morrison's story telling techniques, as a enthusiast of the medium, he perfectly encapsulated everything that I love about the superhero comic. The comparisons to mythic tales, how they've become the modern version of the heroic tales of antiquity, really resonates with me in a deep and powerful way. I absolutely love the superhero to the very core of my being and Morrison gets it. He understands it. I thoroughly enjoyed his views on the subject and found the book a worthwhile read (listen, audiobook, I know)

Does Morrison read the audiobook? I might have to re-sub to Audible if he does. For science.
