Nominees for the Angoulême Grand Prix are out. 30 names and not a single woman, which is crazy goddamn bullshit.

Explain this prize to me because I see Stan da man Lee on there but no Moebius.

I'm gonna guess that these noms were made a committee of nothing but men?

And no Morrison ayyy

It's basically the lifetime achievement award from the biggest comics festival in the world, as voted on by a whole mess of industry professionals from pretty much everywhere. (Or at least in theory, there's been some controversy in recent years about exactly that). Winner gets to preside over next year's festival, among other things. It's pretty much the biggest award in comics, above even the Eisner.

Moebius actually did win it in 1981, so, that's what it means.

Both the Scott Snyder run and the Charles Soule run are very well-loved. I'm getting the Snyder deluxe run hardcover in the mail today actually. Very excited.

Wow sounds pret-

I thought Snyders run was incredibly boring and its only saving grace was Paquette's art and insane page layouts and spreads. What little I read of Soule's run was decent, but not enough to get me to buy the book.
I'm excited for Wein's return to the book, fingers crossed it's good.

I'm a huge fan of Swampy, but in my mind he's one of those characters you only use if you have a great story to tell, he's not a character you trot out just to have a Swamp Thing book on the stands.

-oh, well I mean, you know, different strokes I s'pose

BKatastrophe- I only read swamp thing up until the cross over with animal man. Stopped reading after that because I didn't like the direction it was going.

So Rotworld, then? Yup. Rotworld.

Well maybe I'll just pick up the first trade and see what happens from there

 

[VanWinkle]

-oh, well I mean, you know, different strokes I s'pose

Haha. I mean, I've seen both runs praised heavily, but I suppose not everybody likes everything.

 

[BKatastrophe]

And those who do are liars.


Remember this, kids.

I will miss Obama. It will be a downgrade either way.

You won't have to miss him, he's going to raid everyone's homes to take their guns so they can't fight against him staying in office past his term.

 

[Messi]

I think Marguerite Bennett is my favorite writer currently.

Basically, I want a hc of animal man and swamp thing that cover the first 17 or so issues.

Edit: apparently swamp thing got a hc released a couple months back! Will buy

 

[BKatastrophe]

You won't have to miss him, he's going to raid everyone's homes to take their guns so they can't fight against him staying in office past his term.

So, my friend works at a gas station, and one night I went there near the end of his shift to chill with him before we went out and grabbed a bite to eat. There's this guy whom we call "Crazy Scott." He's a nice guy, however he's a ridiculous conspiracy theorist. Telling me about how Obama uses highway cameras to find people so that he can target them, due to a new amendment that allows him to send kill squads to our homes.

Now I also work at a different gas station, where he now also goes. Luckily, he does not recognize me.

Tim Seely joining sucicide Squad is relevant to my interests.

Cool. I just started Revival last night at work. Maybe Suicide Squad won't be so utterly boring now.

Carol on #1... What?

The fans on tumblr who don't read the comics.

Okay as long as I'm not stepping on any toes. I'll work with people to determine a fair start up date and issue per day count. I doubt it'll be as high as SIP.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

how many per day issues did we make for the last one?

 

[Messi]

how many per day issues did we make for the last one?

SiP was 3. It was too much.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

how many per day issues did we make for the last one?

there's like 25 issues, just do one a day

 

[frye]

you could make the interval a week so there's no daily pressure to do it -- like "6 issues this week" or something

 

[GAMEPROFF]

there's like 25 issues, just do one a day

Thats a good idea.
Also, there a lot one and dones, right?

How about he keeps writing sex criminals instead if launching new books?

 

[ElNarez]

it was all the best ones

this run was too good for this world

it's wasted on all y'all

you think everything's wasted on all of us so what's the fucking point?

 

[Owzers]

I didn't really like the Defenders issues i read, a couple had some nice wackiness but i didn't care about the story overall.

 

[tim1138]

How about Zdarsky keeps drawing Sex Criminals instead of writing multiple books

The comic book writers' chase for that Millar Money is eternal.

Last minute list

Swamp Thing #1
Invincbile Iron Man #5
Doctor Strange #4
Star Wars #14

it's not worth it

i don't see the point in reading comics when the WWE is on twice a week. You need more entertainment than that? Roman Reigns is going to beat 29+ people in ONE NIGHT!

 

[PsychBat!]

fuck comics

 

[Messi]

That too. I legitimately believe sex criminals is dying and relatively quickly.

Boo, NXT house show and the Nightwish show I have tickets for already are the same night. Tough decision.

Also my Harley/Joker statue is has been trapped in Pennsylvania by Fedex since the 2nd.

 

[Owzers]

googled Nightwish thinking it was a wrestling event.

O__________O Reminds me of Evanescence with wood flutes.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

for real

call me back when Michael Lark or McKelvie starts drawing that shit

 

[MG310]

O__________O

show concert.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Hm..... Looks okay. Not crazy about it, though. I know I'll go fucking bananas for Captain Marvel.

$499 instead of $550, though. So it gives me some hope for Captain Marvel's pricing.
