Would you say people are sleeping on it?
that's september, right?where is your normal base of operations?
What did you think of the con? A buddy of mine got to go today and met Shatner. They sent me a video of him leaving the line after getting his autograph. I've never seen him so happy. Trekkies are an amazing thing.

we've already read, you're the late one here buddy
I want you to go in the corner and think about what you've done
Vyer NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Don't let ed down
I know.
I just wasn't prepared. Already had plans for the weekend and then learned this week that I could have had Ed art.
As goofy as that stuff is, most of the debates arguments that follow are really good and interesting and almost convincing.

Nonsense. Remender will rise like the phoenix and lead us all to salvation. Just you wait.
Lol.
Do the right thing and PM a mod to ask for a permaban.
Everyone here has already read it? I don't believe you. I think it's just you.

No way, I couldn't handle it if Messi was perma'd. Who else is going to post stuff like this...
Amazing.
Hmm. Yeah, true. Okay.

Marvel saw Remender as a threat. They tried to take him out, THEY DIDN'T FINISH THE JOB.

Did any of you guys read Cyborg #1? I saw Mike Williams read it. Read his review.
I got the AVX floppies you sent me! I think that was you. Thank you.

Detective Comics 41 & 42, this book is so damn close to being dropped now that Manapul isn't doing the art anymore. The story is paper thin and the new art is only ok. The only saving grace right now is the fact that they

brought back Montoya. I just want to read about her. But her being back won't save it for long.

Yeah I believe September. I have family in the Houston area so Houston cons aren't expensive for me to do. This is actually my first con outside of austin, which is where I live. I'm gonna try to expand a bit more this year and maybe do something in San Antonio and Dallas.
Hmm as for the actual con, I'm not sure what to think of it. I don't have backup so I'm manning my table the entire time. I only got to walk around to look for a bit so far.
I think it's like a lot of wizard world cons where there is a lot of smaller TV celebrities that are a big draw for people. I saw a few tables for cosplayers which is also a big draw now.
So it seems like a comic con without a lot of emphasis on comic creators which is pretty normal I think. The people are pretty friendly. It's interesting to see the kind of people who are most interested in my comics work vs my illustrative work vs people not interested at all haha.
I've gotten a chance to do a good number of sketches and commissions including a Zatanna which I think Messi might approve of when I post it.
My father in law actually got to get a signature from Shatner too. Apparently it's 80 bucks to get one?
If your friend is going tomorrow he can pick up the Darkseid piece for you. I'll throw in a quick bust sketch for him too.

Inhumans By Right of Birth and Inhuman are the closest series we have to this, though I haven't read the Marvel Knights series.
They have the lore and the characters, but now we need the stories.

On that note, what the hell is Image doing? They're just sitting on Fatale and Criminal and won't release some OHCs
in Fatale's case they won't release the second one

It's down to the creators to fund it no?

Good point. What the hell is Brubaker doing?
EDIT: how DOES that work, anyway? Anywhere I can read about it?
In fatales case maybe the sales of the first didn't warrant doing a second one?

Not sure. I wasn't really on the Image landscape when it was still being published. It would strike me as strange just on the basis of "it's Brubaker", but you never know.

But Criminal is already collected in two oversized hardcovers?
LaunchpadMcQ

Last I checked, those were out of print and also they were published by Marvel/Icon. Criminal moved to the Image label a few years ago.
I know right? The omnibus is some great value. And it's got great binding too.
Sorry
Okay, okay. Fine.
Two absolutely gorgeous hardcovers at that. No stupid dustcover. Just gorgeous art on the hardcover itself. And some incredible binding. Oh, and tons of bonus content. Those are some great OHCs.

Ah, ok.
This is 2015. Publishers really need to work on setting up some print-on-demand options. Or at least lego.cuusoo/kickstarter/massdrop type webpages.
Pre-empting the "This is 2015. Everyone is on digital" posts.
I thought vagueness was a bannable offense around ComicsGAF. Spill the beans.

Don't know what's going on, but good luck.
Guess that's why we haven't seen Rafa in awhile?
His metaphors and song lyrics were anything but vague. They spoke straight to my soul.
I miss Rafa.

Tomasi is taking over.
Or maybe you've just never loved like Rafa has loved and thus could never understand.

So, I was just thinking about superhero rogues galleries, and I was thinking about who has the most underrated rogues/villains gallery (primarily related to that character) for how popular they are.
Green Lantern has a pretty cool gallery that no one ever seems to bring up when gallery discussions come up. All the different Lantern Corps, primarily Sinestro, Red, and Black Lanterns; the Manhunters; Krona; Black Hand; Despero. I'm not that familiar with Green Lantern as a whole, but I'd say it's a solid gallery.
It's true. We live through Rafa's love life.

Well hopefully he brings the good stuff and not what he brought to Arkham Knight.
Nor do I.
Eh, she's just one of many who have stolen Rafa's heart. The ladies of the CW network are also in that group!
Real talk though, I hope he comes back from whatever ban he got.

He's not banned, I just joked about that because I hadn't seen him in awhile.

Read the first few chapters of Locke & Key. Very spooky stuff. Decided to stop here for now before I see something that makes me have to sleep with a nightlight tonight.
