The Scott Pilgrim color edition is worth owning a physical copy. Lovely books.

Hehehe <3 Allycat

I need hardcovers! And statues!

 

[Messi]

I need hardcovers! And statues!

I'd rather the book keeps going for the moment.

That statue is totally going to happen though.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

So I got Coriolanus and Zombine(?)

Anyone have any suggestions on where to chat?

So this is actually happening?

Pretty excited to hear what you guys put out.

woah just take it easy man

 

[Zombine]

Sunstone is to ComicGAF as Time Of Your Life is to 90's college radio.

ComicGAF Prom is just a slideshow of the lewdest parts projected on the wall of the ballroom

Fair enough. I will stop bringing it up.

 

[Zombine]

Fair enough. I will stop bringing it up.

Totally joking of course. Lol

You should only get upset if I compared a book to playing Vitamin C "Graduation Song" at 8th Grade Graduation.

These CMX sales are killing me. For the longest time there's been nothing good, and now in the last few weeks with Dark Horse, Eisner winners, Fables, Kaboom! and Skybound sales half off sales I'm finding it really hard to ignore the deals.

Yeah I was tempted to pull a very big fables trigger but then I realized it'd be smarter to spend $300 over the two years it will take me to get through the whole series and spin offs versus $200 today all at once.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Speaking of sales on Comixology, is Thunderbolts worth reading?

 

[TheStig88]

Need that Super Deluxe Leather-bound Hardcover fo' sho'. Not even worried about that statue, it's totes happening, especially since he's doing work with Sideshow.

if you are talking about the Warren Ellis run, it's definitely worth getting.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I like Messis new Avatar

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

So Scridb has a Stjepan Sejic for Top Cow. That's pretty cool.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

if you are talking about the Warren Ellis/Mike Deodato Jr run, it's definitely worth getting.

a rare sillymonkey321 approval, what more do you require

 

[whatsinaname]

Oh man, last night at work I was just thinking about how much I want to go home and read comics. Kipp is BACK BABY.

Also, whatsinaname, I think I might have to be a jerk and rescind my offer to do a mini-reading-club for Orion this weekend... I'm really getting into Sleeper and think I might just keep going with that. Orion is next up after Sleeper though, so I'll let you know when I'm reading it.

No worries. I am in the middle of reading Wonder Woman anyway. Let me know when.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

You're hallucinating - he can't possibly have said that.

 

[Owzers]

checking the sales page on cmx, it's the new thunderbolts that's on sale. I need to read that on MU.

 

[Mindwipe]

So apparently despite having a big Scott Pilgrim banner on the front page of the site Comixology aren't licensed to sell it in the UK, which is why any links to it break.

That kinda blows.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

That's why I picked up Umbrella Academy

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Dat all digital future.

Why can I add it to my basket on the Comixology UK site then? Or does it stop you when you try to pay?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Maybe it recognizes your IP as american?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

oh my approval of over the years meant nothing to you then

ok. I'm not crying or anything. Its these onions somebody is cutting somewhere...damn they strong :mjcry:

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I live in the UK mate.

If you didn't read that in a cockney accent, I am disappointed.

i swooped in and approved while the sale was going on. Full price approvals....not going to work.

 

[Freezasaurus]

When is he planning to expand the merchandising into a line of BDSM gear?

 

[Zombine]

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the discount, mix in with the lot
You might checkout and notice you're someone you're not

If you read all your books and don't like what you see
You can find out firsthand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round Tyrant and kiss your money goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect JC will cry

Sideshow Sunstone statue? I'd buy it for any price.

I like this. And now i'm listening to My Chemical Romance on spotify a little. "Dead!", specifically.

 

[omgkitty]

Yeah I did that with Hellboy and bought the entire run plus all of BPRD. Ended up spending about $120 there. I then realized after pulling out my copy of the 2nd Hellboy Library edition that I fucked up and probably should have just bought those as I went along because I'm going to spend money on them eventually :\

 

[GAMEPROFF]

British english> australian english > US english.

I love your accent

 

[Mindwipe]

Who knows. I own volume 1, that came from CMX UK.

 

[Zombine]

I'm from Merica and I talk with a New York accent. No fucks given.

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Hmm, I went back and checked and it appears what currently is on sale is not the Ellis run. Think I'll hold off and just save my money.

 

[Kipp]

Just finished the Point Blank miniseries that comes before Sleeper proper in the Sleeper omnibus. That was SO GOOD. I think I liked that better than all of the Criminal stories even (well, except The Last of the Innocent maybe. That story was top tier). Just a really, really great comic.
Colin Wilson did some really solid art too. It was pretty typical late 90s style comic art, but it was really well done and pretty impressive.

But yeah, comics are awesome. I really really really enjoyed that.

No worries. I am in the middle of reading Wonder Woman anyway. Let me know when.

All right, cool. Sounds good.

Perfection.

 

[ReAxion]

thread dipped to the 2nd page.

 

[Hagi]

Yeah Wolf was pretty good, i wasn't feeling it at the start but when Freddie appeared everything fell into place. I like the setup Kot is doing and even for a max sized issue there's a lot of teasing to the point where the story flows naturally instead of things being crammed in like I find a lot of first issues fall into. I'm not super into his writing but I'm liking where this is going so I'll add it to the pile.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Man, I need to rewatch The Dark Knight.
Arkham Knight really hyped me for Batman again.

I thought it all clicked perfectly with the bus scene. Really one of the best street magick scenes I've seen in a comic.

But Freddie is just an awesome character, and I love his introduction.

So, like, is it normal that once you start getting big into physical comics that you start seeing anything at TPB size as being small and any book smaller than that as outright tiny? In regards to height and width, I mean.

 

[SoilBreak]

More importantly, what'd they do to Tim? That guy does not look like the previously established MMA fighter

He looks like a 40 year old man.

Looks like you've got company Zombine

Jim Aparo has become one of my new favorite artist.

Yerp, same problem as with porn.

Who has time for comics when I'm betting on horses all day.

At least with porn all I need to do for a reality check on many of the important things is to look down.

Spoiler

You know, except when doing that causes the opposite feeling.
