GOOD NEWS: unless you decide to tackle stuff like Secret Invasion or One More Day, you've already read some of the worst that Marvel has to offer. Can't go anywhere but up.
Also pro-tip: don't follow characters. Follow writers.

I think I will, too. Kot seems like a pretty cool dude. But he should still join GAF.

Honestly I think ComicGAF could bond over these hats.
Ogawa totally deserved it, so I'm more than happy that he got the win as well. He's insanely good.
And no, today wasn't really my day. Couldn't get any comics reading in.

Is the second Hellboy movie an original script or is it based off an arc in the comics?

Its original. They decided to move away from the Nazi occult roots and more towards forklore, creatures that have been pushed out of modern society. Kind of thing Hellboy could relate to lookin' like a big demon with a giant Hand of Doom.
I don't understand

Do the comics try anything similar later in the run? (I've only read the first 3 trades or so).

You just don't seem to be as gung-ho about Harley as you used to be. Are you more interested in checking out other books these days?
I can't find a release date for Loki Vol 3, has it been solicited?
My pull list is 60-70 deep. I just don't talk about 90% of what I read.

Urgh.
We should have a questionnaire, you guys. I flipped through other communities and they seem to have them.

Yes, eventually they do. That was actually part of the reason they went the forklore route, since Mignola's comics were starting to evolve that way as well.
Sush you, go watch Injustice
I haven't watched a non Tron Legacy movie in months.

That's good. My only problem with the first three trades was that it was starting to feel a bit procedural. I should get to ordering those library editions. Maybe this week.

Hah. I wish I could have a DC fighter that actually had good animation
. Of course I still hold out the dream of DC vs Marvel for 20 years. But knowing my luck it'd use movie character likeness and be done by some spare studio
Movies bore me. I lose interest very quickly and just don't find it an enjoyable experience. Last movie I watched was Short term 12 and that movie wrecked me.

I was questioning why you don't talk about them?
Hah. I wish I could have a DC fighter that actually had good animation
Ugh. Yeah, I wanted to like Injustice so badly, but the animation was pretty terrible. And I really really don't like MK-style games.
Short Term 12 sounds like one of those movies with feelings, those are the ones that get me tired of movies even if they are good.
Because no one cares. I tried before and got no responses so I stopped.
People have me down as one thing and that is fine. But I read so much more. It's my own fault to be fair.

I have a much easier time playing MK-style games than Japanese fighters.I don't really mind this alleged lack of animation. Though I desperately want to be good at Street Fighter V when it launches.
Did they announce the next character yet? Plz be Karin, Plz be Karin....
Yep. It's the kind of movie I enjoy but there were revelations in it that turned my stomach and made me really sad.

I enjoy reading impressions people post even when I don't reply to them. And most of my impressions disappear into the void as well, but sometimes people reply.
What kind of questions? I prefer asses.

Fighting games with a dedicated block button are a scourge on humanity.
Also Netherrealm Studios is tied with Bethsoft for worst character models in the Ax3 industry.
Also² SF has too many god damned buttons. Should be fast and strong punches and kicks and that's it. SNK had it right. #bahhumbug

One thing I'm noticing here about Usagi Yojimbo is that in some ways, the art reminds me of Berserk. Not in detail, because Miura is just insane with the amount of detail he squeezes in, but Miura and Sakai both take the time to make maximum use of the space in each panel, leaving very little (if any) empty space.
SNK made great games, but SF is the truth foreverrrrr

One of the reasons why he's one of the GOAT comic storytellers
I try to reply to people. I should be better about talking about other books I read.
Howard the Duck #4 was okay, it still seems kinda flaky but i love Quinones due to Bloodspell. Each issue of Howard will have a panel or two that shows Chip's writing potential but the issues never really come together.
then some random reading, i finished Killjoys and yeah, that's a weird KOTOR MMO quality book. I started reading a few more Buffy Season 10 issues on the wonderful dark horse app that is totally still a thing and amazing. Issues 6 and half of 7 were also in the "okay" range, I haven't been enthralled with Buffy comics since the beginning half of Season 8, so i'm past the point where i get disappointed if they don't wow me. It's the premise of Buffy that's broken, just as in the comic's story the rules of magic are being rewritten, there's a stalled development to the characters.
Is Brock wrasslin' yet? Nope....hmmmmmmm.

Welp. Wolf is legit good. Will keep following it until funghi pop up.
Oh, no doubt. They proved that with Third Strike.
Still say they could remove m. p/k from the game and nothing of value would be lost, tho.

having 3 different kinds of flash kicks & sonic booms is crucial

Definitely. And I think that helps a lot with world building, making the characters and world seem like a single unit. Similar to Top 10 or The Incal. When the paneIs are a bit sparse, I find that it makes me feel that the world is pushed into the background and the characters are pushed to the front (e.g., Hickman's FF, Alias). Different styles of story telling but I prefer the first if I was forced to pick between the two.

You didn't see Age of Ultron, Messi? Just wondering.
I barely watched anything this year: Avengers, Mad Max, Chris Pratt's Raptor Squad and the first post-Buu DBZ movie, that's it. No TV either apart from the odd bit of wrestling and one episode each of Game of Thrones and Daredevil. My mam called over for dinner yesterday and she lost her shit when I told her I wasn't going to see Ant-Man ("But you always go! You love all the marvellous things!").
Even worse, no books at all. I just bought an Eberron novel and Armada for comfort reading. I know GAF hates Ready Player One, but I was in a really low place when I discovered it and it gave me a bit of happiness, so I'm willing to try the author's new book even if he is a dork.
I think I am the most depressed I have been for awhile, you guys. I feel very low. I'm groggy a lot of the time these days, and I'm disappointed I didn't get the job at the cinema full time, but it is what it is. I don't feel like hurting myself or anything, I just have no inclination to go anywhere or do anything. I pretty much only go outside for groceries or to see the doctor these days. It's nobody fault except my own. I hate to say it, but usually I see a thread about someone having trouble or lacking a skill on GAF and it lights a fire under my ass, like I have cooked proper meals every day since the "I don't like home cooked food" thread. I remember JC said to make a list of things to be hopeful for, so:
10 Things I Am Excited About:
- Argent Tournament expansion for Hearthstone
- NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, just to see the NXT roster on their own show in a big arena
- Rat Queens OHC
- Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl
- CHVRCHES' second album
- Doctor Who: Four Doctors comic crossover
- Doctor Who: Classic Doctors vs. New Monsters audio dramas
- Getting to play Arkham Knight in glorious 60FPS when it gets fixed (shut up, let me dream)
- Taking the nephews to Star Wars at Christmas, going with my brother who took me to the re-release of A New Hope in '97
- And as sad as it sounds at my age, my birthday, just because I get to see the fam.
The strongest. That last match was with authority. Can't believe they denied him the mic.
