COMICS! |OT| January 2015. So many variants you'd swear it's 1995 instead.

Random X-Men question, was Wolverine's X-Force team ever made public knowledge? I know Captain America found out but I always felt serious shit would go down if the general public had discovered the X-Men had a "hit squad".
Yup, that's a big part of it too. I've gone overwhelmingly digital, because I own the biggest house I'm gonna be able to afford for some time and it already has as many books in it as will fit (my wife has a book problem, and I've got to lead by example
).Actually when everyone was doing their write-ups of 2014 (I never got round to mine) point 1 was going to be that the comics industry had slit it's own throat over the past twelve months, because I can't understand why I would buy issues for £2.49 when I have more electronic trades than I can actually get round to reading at £2.99 ish each. If that.

Yes! I have no idea what happened to it or why it fell off the face of the Earth. You're exactly right, this comic was written through a game of telephone, nothing was connected. I don't know why they would let this clown Mark Waid launch the Gold Key universe. I have not read a single explanation of what happened.....
Thanks Rafa! Will do!
I swear every time I see theAXIS
logo I read it asSIXIS. Maybe it is intentional and I just don't understand the significance since I don't read it, but I'm getting tired of double taking when I read it.
I think we called it that from the start. Lol.
The best part about that event was the Midtown exclusive cover for #1

Hey Tim, would you ever consider buying a $350 statue?

That's nothing Cade, my backlog is at least three times as bad without including digital books. With those? I'd rather not talk about it...
Yeah, but... you seem to read comics. You even admitted it up there!

That...I actually liked that article, reading it just now. Perhaps Liefeld wasn't the best example with which to illustrate his point, but it's an attitude I see a lot of in the video game community at large.
Still not down for the art but Rob Liefeld basically owns
(for real tho the criticism of him is boring as fuck and beyond played out at this point. It's just noise and has nothing to do with his skill as an artist)
Be smart bro, go mobile. All these people browsing GAF physically on work computers are asking for trouble. At my last job I would go dark for a few hours because I was constantly dealing with clients, but it was always way easier to just pick up my phone quick to check out the latest crap in the OT. Don't be one of those scrubs browsing for shoes and shit on works network. It can be used against you so fast it hurts.
Edit: Didnt know you already started, thought this was future tense. Still, keep off your desktop and stay on your phone.

It starts off interesting and then gets REALLY boring and repetitive. I dropped it some where around the 20s or 30s I think (of the digital issues). It really felt like they were just doing the same story again and again to me.

OMG I want that so bad. I can not spend $350 bucks on a statue though. I am not baller enough for Figure/Statue ComicGaf.

naaaaah, the last thing my boss wants to do is catch us on damn phones. Real strict about that shit. Plus the signal SUCKS in here. Like X-Men 100th Anniversary level shit.
Got my own private office with the back of monitor pointing towards the door, so I can minimize anything before anybody walks in.

Wasp has a Yellowjacket-themed outfit huh.
Our boss is very ok with us surfing at the work. We have currently almost nothing to do (I recive 3,4 tickets per week, I really "work" for about 5 hours a week) since June. This will change after my vacation, but in the last months there were really not much to do.
We are allowed to play games on our handhelds, read books and watch movies when we bring our own notebooks to work.
When my boss comes in a room where currently a movie is watched, he even sits down and watches with us

The series is great.
The omnibuses - Good binding. Mediocre to poor paper quality. Not worth the $150+ you will now have to spend.
Hey Tim, would you ever consider buying a $350 statue?
Oh hell no, I won't even spend $350 on a video game console, let alone something that's just gonna take up space in the house.
It looks super cool though.

Ordered a handful of trades from Instocktrades on Dec. 30th, they still haven't all been picked/scanned. Is this par for the course with the holidays?
This reminds me, that I should start picking up Hickmanns FF Omnibusses soon... I think they will be collected as Complete Collections soon, but since the Incursion seems to kind of starting there and I want to buy Hickmanns Avengers Runs as OHCs, going Omnbus is a must-have.
Something might not be in stock and holding up the order. Has anything been scanned?

Yes, half the order is scanned, wonder if the rest of the order will get back in stock this week.
Yeah then that out of stock stuff is holding up the order. My 15 book order was held up for nearly 2 weeks by Blacksad lol. Worth it though.
That sounds awesome :O what do you do?
YAY! This is what I've been saving all my sideshow points for.
