Anyone read any of RR Martin's shit? He's like "Bitches be up in my guts. Your gonads are like two grapefruits ready for plucking." And that's just how the White Walkers talk.

RR's stuff is just too wordy for me, I lose interest so easily.

They have an exclusive dust jacket! Wheeeeeeeeee! Can't wait to buy that shit tomorrow.
Wow. So I just finished the last issue of Unknown Soldier.
For anyone who hasn't read it yet, obviously don't click the spoiler. The short version of it though is that Unknown Soldier is absolutely fantastic and you should most definitely read it.

That twist at the end was absolutely brilliant. The fact that the compassionate, peace-loving Dr. Moses Lwanga WAS the new, manufactured identity and the violent voice was his original self (albeit made even more violent through the military and CIA training). I was truly not expecting that at all. Brilliant. And at the third to last issue or so I even thought the ending was going to be somewhat predictable, but Dysart managed to keep me on my toes until the end.
And the ending. I knew with the way the story was going, it'd be nearly impossible to pull off a satisfying ending -- since a happy ending would be completely innapropriate, but a purely negative ending would obviously be simply depressing -- but Dysart walked the line between happy and depressing flawlessly and managed to give closure and leave me completely satisfied with the ending. Seriously impressive.
Also, I feel like I should mention that "dream" scene in the last issue after Unknown Soldier is shot. That sinking feeling you get as you're reading along and gradually start thinking "This is too good to be true..." and then have that thought confirmed as the dream gets more and more outrageous. So well done.

Who's taking ovah?
I don't know if I want to hold your hand or Freeza's though.
...Maybe I should stop by Barnes and Noble tomorrow too.
Cool! I'll probably give one of his books a shot sometime soon. Better late than never, I guess. Haha

I know. It must be awful if the guy who thinks that Fly is the best episode of Breaking Bad dropped it.

Ha, it's on my Wish List List.
So here's how I buy comics now. I pick 10 Must Buys a week and buy them Wednesday. Everything else that I'm mildly interested in goes on my Wish List. Every day or so I pick a random number and buy that comic from my Wish List. So I actually have read the last Ghost Rider, purely by chance and interest.

I bought the whole Claremont/Lee Comixology bundle
fuck you comixology
fuck you comixology
They provide the crack not their fault you're an addict.
So, say I wanted to write a story that revolved around a work that is in public domain...do I have anybody to answer to if I want to make money off of that idea?
Nah, I looked at it but I'm fine with my two Claremont/Lee Omnibi.

I would've preferred those, but they're not easy to find for cheap like some other Marvel omnibi. Pretty sure the bundle was everything in those omnibuses anyway, so fuck it
When should I expect the PM from you asking me to do the art for said story?

Oh! And following up my Unknown Soldier post earlier on this page, totally forgot to say this:
Dave Johnson's cover art was some of my favorite cover art ever. Just check out some of these. Gorgeous.

How come nobody mentioned the badass JD Scooby Doo the last page?
I almost missed it.
Kipp up the good work.

I like to be as transparent about my ideas as possible. Will you do the art kip? Actually, let's practice. Can you draw Cthulhu?
Well I do have two hands so I don't see why not.

I keep forgetting to read it because it's in my iBooks and not Comixlology.
Haha. Thanks! And thanks for noticing!
Just did a Google image search of his covers... Totally didn't realize he did so many of these fantastic covers I've seen around.
Even after looking at a random assortment of his other covers, I still think his Unknown Soldier stuff is my favorite of his work.
But yeah, his covers are fantastic.
Well, I do not know. But I sure will try. Give me a sec (20-30 minutes).
Was actually just going to attempt to draw Batcow, but this is much more pressing.
Edit: Double post. I always expect you guys to post really quickly, so I usually assume there will be a post between my previous post and current post by the time I finish writing it. My baaad.
I just read the first volume of that about a month ago. It was such great stuff. I can't believe everyone hasn't read it (especially since you can get it for free if you'd like). It's typical great BKV storytelling/world-building with Marcos Martin's excellent art to make it that much better.
I really need to read the issues after volume one still.

All right, Zombine. Here is the concept art for your super serious Cthulhu graphic novel.
It is titled "Stupid Sexy Cthulhu"
It may shock you to know that I in fact did not use any reference art for this Cthulhu pose.
Edit: Forgot to mention, even though it's a very important piece of art to me, I am selling the original pictured here. PM me for price.
(Also, check out those child-bearing hips Cthulhu's got.)

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Many, many comics have been colored using mice.
It's particularly easy to get away with using a mouse with "cuts and gradients" (or "cuts and fill") style.
Ah yeah, coloring is definitely do-able. Inking is the main thing that would've been impossible with a mouse.
I'm sort of tempted to get one of those Monoprice graphic drawing tablets for like $50... As outrageous as that seems when I'm the horrendously bad artist that I am. Haha. Could be fun though.

Of Batgirl fame? Ooh, that ought to be interesting.
He does have a unique style. Should fit the book nicely.
