Sent in my ballot for books of the month. It was hard but I ended up excluding Superior Foes and Deadly Class. Lots of good stuff this month!

I completely forgot Rocket Raccoon was so soon. That's gonna be so good.

Rocket Racoon will be so good. Scottie is an amazing artist.

Holy shit, Shadows West (Jonah Hex) is a phenomenal book.

Just finished reading the second miniseries in that TPB, "Riders of the Worm and Such."
So great. That book just holds up so well for being over two decades old. It's so much fun. Lansdale has no problem getting weird, which suits Jonah Hex very nicely. The humor is fantastic, too. I was laughing at least a handful of times every issue.
And for being early 90s, the art really holds up quite well also. It's clearly early 90s art, but it fits the comic and is still really enjoyable.

I'll accept partial blame. I'm like fourth instead of second in top posters. I was basically silent this month.

Clearly you're just not repping Legion quite enough. I'm sure you'll be able to pull it together next month.
How do you check the top posters again? I can never remember.

 

[Rrongfield]

I think the series is just on break while The Delinquents (crossover mini with Archer & Armstrong) is running.

Thanks, I checked the solicits and that seems to be the case. Those two series are the only two Valiant books I'm following.

She is a character from a shitty movie series ?

First of all it's a great movie series.
Also, it's a South Park reference.

 

[Halo 2]

Just ordered Red Son since someone mentioned it in some random thread.
Looks interesting.

When you're looking at the list of threads in a section, just click on the number of replies off to the right. I dunno if there are any other ways. Like always, Messi is the top poster by almost 200 posts

It's pretty good. If you haven't read it already, definitely give All-Star Superman a look. I'm not much of a fan of the character, but it's fantastic.

NO ZOMBINE WE ARE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW

That's good to hear since I've never been a huge superman fan myself.
I'l definitely give it a look!

But what about the page count?!

 

[Messi]

Fucking potato people.

I just got an email from Amazon.co.uk telling me they couldn't confirm the dispatch of my order with Book depository. My card wasn't charged but the order is still there. Anyone got any idea what this is about. Will I try to cancel it outright or are they gonna ship me the order soon?

Order is done for. Book was posted as in stock, but in actuality it was not.

So this is never getting shipped? I gotta go through this cancelation bullshit again?

 

[Cheska]

Unfortunately Book Depository is infamously known for cancelling orders and not having their books in stock

 

[Zombine]

I will never order third party from Amazon anymore due to that shit happening way too often. Ordered a birthday present for my brother through a 3rd party vendor and the cancelation process was horrible.

If I leave this order are they likely to ship when it comes back into stock? Weeks from now. Seems like a hassle.

So, here's a question for you guys: I've found the different production rates of American comics interesting for a while, and was keeping track of when One Piece officially passed Amazing Spider-man in chapter count (adding in Superior and the reboot of course). Obviously, though Spidey is still the more published character thanks to the tons of spinoffs, crossovers, etc throughout the years. However, there's also the monster that is Kochikame (or Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen Mae Hashutsujo if you prefer the full title), which has an insane 190 volumes, which should be about 200 pages a pop (I need to try to actually read it some time, but that length is intimidating). So, do you think that's enough to beat out Spidey's empire of comics, or does he still win out?

And for that matter, who would you guys say is the most published character in comics? Spidey has to be up there, but I'm not 100% certain he tops the list...

The other night when I started reading GM's Arkham Asylum, I felt like my mind wasn't digesting it correctly so I just closed the book and went on to other things. Well, tried again this morning and went every page without looking up or having intrusive thoughts. This is my favorite work by Grant Morrison. It's a fantastic psychological evaluation of the world of Batman. At least, the dark and gritty world of Batman.

Best way I could describe this book is Batman 66 enters Arkham and comes out as Frank Millers Batman.

Oh good I'm not the only person hyped about rocket raccoon .

Every experience I've had with them, they've cancelled the order itself.

 

[Zombine]

My book of the month, personally.

 

[Halo 2]

Oh good I'm not the only person hyped about rocket raccoon .

It starts next week correct?

If so, I am now hyped.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I don't know who is top, but I'd probably say it's between Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I don't know who is top, but I'd probably say it's between Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman.

According to Comicvines' wiki:

Batman appears in 11070 issues.
Superman appears in 10611 issues.
Spider-Man appears in 10409 issues.

Dunno how accurate that is.

 

[Messi]

Pretty sure this is me done with book depository . Such a scummy business practice . they are still showing all thosrthose books in stock with many left. Fuck them.

 

[tim1138]

Was I the only one who read That's Because You're a Robot this month? It would be my book of the month of I still voted for such things.

Just order a print instead! You know you want that more.

One Question : Is the FCBD Rocket Racoon the same as the #1 of the upcoming RR?

 

[Messi]

I've sent an email in to buy a page of art from Harley Quinn #2

One Question : Is the FCBD Rocket Racoon the same as the #1 of the upcoming RR?

Nope all new. Scottie only did the cover of the FCBD book. I believe.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Messi, I'm beginning to suspect you are a trust fund baby.

 

[Bii]

Oh good I'm not the only person hyped about rocket raccoon .

I'm waiting until SDCC to pick up the variant covers for Rocket Raccoon (as well as a few other Marvel books releasing in July), which was why I didn't add it to my weekly list.

I sent my votes in for my book of the months. I had a solid five that I had to pick from, hopefully most of you guys share the same opinion.

 

[dark_inferno]

I thought the FCBD RR was pretty good. If its better than this then we are in for a really good ride i guess.

 

[Messi]

Not even close. I just happen to have a bit of spare cash right now. It's a stupid purchase no doubt.

 

[MG310]

Was it page 7 or 8? Those are the two I would have picked. Mostly because Harley's scared expression reminds me of that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where Eddie walks in on the fake Jessica.

Jimmy and the crew would appreciate a tweet when all is said and done. They are wonderful people

Which page?

LOL I knew we had great tastes. Those are the two I told him I liked best.

Those are the two ones I inquired about for availability. If it's both what do I choose?

Go big or go home. Get both.

Both.

YES

I'm not saying a real Harley Quinn fan would get both...

But I am saying a real Harley Quinn fan would get both.

 

[Messi]

I just can't. Please.

One is a nice visual gag the other is the awesome beaver joke. But that requires text to be funny.

 

[MG310]

I'd probably go with the zombie one though I don't think the beaver presentation requires any text to be funny. You also get way more of the actual characters with the beaver one.

 

[Messi]

I just don't know

 

[Zombine]

How much are you planning on paying for it?

 

[Messi]

How much are you planning on paying for it?

They are $500ish

 

[TetraxShards]

SO MUCH WANT.

BRB sending in $600 bid for those pages.
