It's too hot to read comic books. Also don't read any comic book that takes place in a cold setting, it'll make your suffering hot experience worse.

Are you sitting in a hot car or something?

I'm outside and it's awful.

Well there's your mistake.

 

[LordOfLore]

So I'm enjoying Starlin's Thanos: Infinity trilogy so far. How does his Silver Age stuff hold up?

So "no" then.

It's alright. The Death of Captain Marvel still holds up well.

Wasn't someone reading all the old Marvel books? Did they reach Starlin's cosmic stuff?

 

[echoshifting]

This week's Mockingbird was certainly interesting. So they want me to read this again but backwards? I'm game.

When your favorite hero sweats and your also sweating.

Dat immersion.

i think it's time to start Aaron's Thor run

Godbutcher is as wonderful a trade as it was on release, excited to finally read the rest of the run (and start lady Thor)

God Butcher is one of the best comics I've ever read.

Pretty sure I've said that, like, 50 times now.

I know he wrote Captain Marvel, and all the Infinity Gauntlet stuff (Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War, Infinity Watch, etc.). He wrote Adam Warlock stuff. Thanos vs. Hulk...Did he write Silver Surfer?

 

[echoshifting]

Old Man Logan was so good this week, god damn. Always love Wolverine in Japan stories and this one gets good real fast

20 issues when they brought the book back in the 90's/around the time of Infinity Gauntlet IIRC.

Twitter thread with Busiek talking about the Marvels X-Men uniforms.

BC: Bestseller List July 31st- "DC Rebirth Slaughters Civil War II"

*According to our extremely scientific study of sales at six random stores, over a two day period.

I do love their headlines. Slaughters is a great word. Why do you link these again? Is it to give Bleeding Cool hits? Because surely nobody thinks this indicates anything, and I say that as a guy who picks up everything Rebirth and only reads Marvel on Unlimited. It's the craziest one liner anecdotes from random dudes. "Brah, DC is killing it. Disney better still Marvel pronto."

I'd actually believe it because CMX's list of top sellers in my region is pretty much the same+the books that are on sale.

Btw, is the BoP issues in the current Rebirth sale worth it/any good?

It would be odd if DC wasn't dominating the charts till marvel broken launches. No rational person goes out and buys civil war 2
Excited to see how black panther sold. That was one hell of an arc.

 

[Messi]

I left a book store today without Vol 2 - 4 of prison school because I was too embarrassed to buy them . I am ashamed of myself and my crippling anxiety sometimes.

God no. So throwaway.

Buy Black Canary series and Batgirl Annual #2 for a great series and a great single issue Ivy story. All you need to know going onto the annual is that Ivy was in bop and betrayed them and left.

Because it's the only way to hear how comics sell to customers and not just "Marvel shipped 30K of this book but we have no clue when it's all going to be sold out because only a couple books get second printings from them nowadays". I'd gladly post ComicsAlliance or Newsarama links if they had any info on that.

Edit:

Okay! Already have those issues so time to wait for the next sale which should be on Harley and Suicide Squad where I already have all/the best issues.

I am sure they wouldn't have cared. I used to get nervous about buying gunpla from book stores but I realized nobody really cares.

But why prison school out of all the echi manga to read

I would argue that shipments are more important and I don't even like those.

Which of the recent Marvel Star Wars books are worth reading? Obviously gunna check out the main SW title and probably give Darth Vader's book a shot, anything else though? Are they doing anything for Rogue One?

 

[Owzers]

I left a book store today without Vol 2 - 4 of prison school because I was too embarrassed to buy them . I am ashamed of myself and my crippling anxiety sometimes.

Reminds me of when i walked up to the counter at Gamestop and heard them trashing DOA Beach Volleyball and then i said i wanted to buy it. Can't shame me out of volleyball.

Then again that was a video game and not lewd manga, not really comparable.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

They were going to but it was canned. Other than SW and Vader, I'd recommend Han, Lando and Anakin & Obi-Wan the most. Kanan if you're watching Rebels too.

I traded in fucking Senran Kagura Estival Versus Endless Summer edition at Gamestop yesterday, and you know what the guy said about it?

NOTHING.

They did.

Also, Messi's shame reminds me that I need to grab Vol.4 of Prison School from IST.

 

[Messi]

Because Freeza told me I would enjoy it and it has nice art. I don't read books like this usually.

Ah this a freeza problem.

Freez why didn't you recommend MhA instead?

I guarantee you they don't care at all. There's a good chance they read it to.

The comment I got when I picked up the latest two JoJonium books was "Nice, you watched the anime as well? Joseph is the best JoJo."

 

[Lashley]

I know it's easier said than done, but when you learn to not give a fuck about what others think about you, the happier you'll be

Only way I can survive with my social anxiety, or I'd have no life outside my room

 

[Messi]

I also heard a girl telling her boyfriend in in manga section saying "Oh I don't read the books I just look it up on Netflix" lol

He probably doesn't know what it is. I know I wouldn't. My brain just files it all under anime.

Aw shit. I bought them because strix was in them

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Like if you an Ass Man, RT if you're a boob boy

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It's not nice to say things like that about people you don't know.

I used to have the same problems whenever I hesitated to purchase a Bleach manga with Kukaku's tits hanging out on the cover.

But they will judge me. Knowing my luck it will be some old lady who sneers at me.

If that old lady is working at B&N she should already know the types of books her store sells and not be so harshly judgmental. It's all literature plus she'll probably be happy your reading books instead of wasting your time on video games. Also I looked up the covers and they don't look lewd at all.

 

[Messi]

Aw shit. I bought them because strix was in them

She is easily the best part. They aren't bad they just don't amount to anything. They are readable for sure.

 

[frye]

ngl i'd definitely be a judger

like "oh jeff lemire huh 👀"

 

[Messi]

I thought I was a boob man for most of my life but I'm not sure recently. What if I make the wrong choice? I've been cutting sandwiches wrong my entire life, what if this is wrong too.

Man, I almost want to come up with a thread title based on this.

Btw, what's the title for tomorrow's thread? Is it something like "Return Of The Harley"?

 

[TheFlow]

Prison School is really good though

I read my fair share of echi manga that I am not proud of but that is not one.

 

[Messi]

The fancy comics lobby that creates the threads won't allow Harley's return to feature. They hold us girly hijinks fans down.

What, not even the month where she'll probably set sale records for female solo comics?

I'm not looking forward to the wall of shame because I think I'm in the top ten despite only becoming a full member early this month.

 

[Einchy]

I should finish Prison School, read about 30 chapters, thought it was amazing but then stopped for some reason.
