I dunno. Given that the majority of mine is in piles on the floor because I've been too lazy to get another bookcase or two I'm not looking hot right now myself.

Romita'a art has been looking a lot cleaner and colorful lately.
Stack a bunch of omnibuses and you got yourself a mini-table. Nothing should go to waist.

My tablet's dead. =(
Just read a handful of Hellboy short stories from Library Edition vol 2.
So good.
The only issue I have with short stories is they don't have that driving narrative that keeps you reading. I feel totally content just stopping after reading a 5-10 page story because I've completed a whole story. So in a way, I'm looking forward to getting to the longer form Hellboy stories that come after volume 2.

he was on last ish too I think
My collection is very modest.
I should post an updated picture of my shelf sometime soon. My shelf is almost at that point where it's perfectly full. I need to be careful which publishers I buy books from so that I don't accidentally find myself with an overflow pile, since each square in my Ikea shelf is a specific publisher.
Also, I feel like I should get just a handful of action figures or statues to add some pizzazz to my comics shelf, but there aren't any I want.

Hmm well, I've got two sad looking Ikea shelves. One of them I just got recently. I would say I've got a little more than one of them full, but I've got them spread between the two in alphabetical order so I leave a little room for new books. I've got another shelf with blurays and game collectibles, but the blurays are stacked on top of each other because I'm too cheap for extra shelves.
If I had a house, I've had started building a room for this stuff.
ReAx have the sads
Luckies.
Actual comics reading news:
Read Kaijumax 1 & 2. It's good. I'm in.
There's kind of a barrier with the monster/prison slang but it's easy to get past, imo.
But they had the Advance as a regular unit in ROTJ.

I read the first half of the chained coffin in between seed of destruction and the og miniseries. Found it helped with pacing, and it was nice to have Almost Collosus read right after the second mini series as it feels like a continuation of that series. Really really enjoyed the books contained in the first 2 LEs and I think you'll be a big fan of Conqueror Worm, definitely a return to the larger form stories, and actually has some cool continuity stuff going on, Mignola really starts pulling it all together into a universe at that book.
I'm so shocked how much of these books that first Hellboy movie actually managed to cover. I haven't seen it since release but it seems to draw the major Hellboy plot points from like, the first 3 mini series and like, compress them into two hours. Good job there, sort of !
Not sure whether to star buying the LEs and keep reading Hellboy, or to go through those plague of frogs omnis, ahh !
Also, how do you guys story your Dark Horse LEs ? My fear agent is so big ans heavy I dunno if they'd be better served lying horizontally instead of standing, but I'm not sure. Anyone had damage from standing them like regular books for a long time.

They add anymore after that?
Defender is AFAIK Legacy Expanded Universe, mostly for games.

Just wait for the inevitable TV show. Cash out during season 2.
you can't have a Saga TV show because how the fuck are you gonna put a dragon sucking its own dick on television

Porn parody?
Sextillion is immune to porn parody.
How are they going to make a Walking Dead TV show because how the fuck are you gonna
shoot a kill a new born child and her mother as they run away
You don't. You work around it and all the other shock value crap that exists in Saga.
Yeah, I feel like that would've been a more enjoyable way to read it (by mixing in the short stories with the longer stories rather than bunching all the short stories together). As it stands, I think I'll just sprinkle in some of the Hellboy short stories while reading through other comics. And I'm really excited for Conqueror Worm! I've heard amazing things.
And I used to store my Library Editions horizontally for the same reasons, but then I ran out of shelf space to lay them horizontally and just said screw it and put them vertically. It hasn't caused any problems at all so far. Even Big Damn Sin City which ways about 100 tons and has like 1300 pages hasn't suffered any problems from being stored vertically. The main worry is the pages sagging and tugging on the binding, but the thing is, the pages can only sag the short distance to the shelf that they're sitting on, so they can't physically sag enough to cause any damage. Speaking as someone who was pretty worried about that issue for a while, I've come to find it's a total non-issue. Just store them vertically like any other book and don't worry about it.
I mean, there's a way to frame that to make it TV friendly, there's a lot you can do with implication.
The dragon sucking its own dick? You can't really get around that.

Yeah, this moment defined the series. Saga isn't Saga without reptilian autofellatio.
What? Oo
I would say that a majority of the explicit material that exists in the book can be changed or altered in a way that doesn't matter. Leave the dragons, have them be in search of its "saliva" or something. Shit like the explicit sex on Prince Robot's TV, the testicles, Stalk's butthole, none of that has any real influence on the story.

those details, and in fact the entire concept of the thing, the dozens and dozens of strange aliens, all that was made to exist in a comic, and really only in a comic. It's not just the dragon sucking its own dick, it's the tiny seal man, the plant lady who likes getting high as fuck, the spider lady bounty hunter, that one giant with the tiny dick and the gigantic balls. only in comics.
That's really cool thanks for the tip I can't see me getting to a con let alone one where well known artists attend till next year when we fingers crossed hopefully can go to NYCC.
I did that with The Fade Out this week, because I genuinely couldn't remember what had happened well enough in the first few issues since it came out.
It read a hell of a lot better. I'm sure I'll have to do the same thing in about six months when there's some more issues. The only reason I don't trade wait on it is because the real legends of Hollywood text pieces in the back aren't going to be in the trades and they're god tier.

I evidently haven't gotten to this part, since I think I would remember such lewdness.
Also, my new card didn't come today, so no comics for me. I'm running low on coffee and tea as well. Goddamnit.

It's so weird. I was hyped as fuck for that movie, and yet I don't seem to care.
Probably because that movie, more than any other MCU movie save for maybe The First Avenger, felt purely like set up for other storylines. Stack that up with the fairly disappointing Ultron and it doesn't come out in the top 5 of MCU movies.
Props brah
"I'M NOT LOCKED IN HERE WITH YOU! YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!"
Yup. The Comedian was a hybrid of a Charlton Comics character and Nick Fury, that much I know. I forget who Silk Spectre is based on.
I would say that budget wise it would need to be a feature film (or 12), but my point was that the sexual content which is unfortunately a taboo for the states can be cut or altered and have it not hurt the story. Shit...Stalk can even be topless and the sex can remain, it just doesn't have to be as explicit and detailed as it is in the book.
We will understand.

Dude that is so awesome, really makes me wish I could dedicate a room to comics instead of one shelf and a closet full of comics. lol
I might take a few pics of it to show off the collection again.
When you make one, I will do it, too.

What if this is tied to the core plot D=
Like everything we've read so far will play a role in the finale of the series.
Then again this series has more about the adventure than the destination.
