Check your PMs.

And, I did warn you in advance. Awful.

I'm really curious now...

Can I have a PM too?

Probably Conan. I think Kipp talked about Colossal Conan a few times

Oh hey! Someone remembered me!
I still haven't finished Colossal Conan. Got about 500 pages in and decided to take a break for a little bit. It was still some fantastic comics, but I just couldn't handle 1200 pages of Conan in a row. Haha
I still highly recommend grabbing at least just the first paperback trade. If I'm honest, that was probably the best arc, though the following arcs were veeery close to being equally excellent.

In case any of you were wondering, Spike just admitted to me in a private message that he thinks Frank Quitely is a wonderful artist, and that he too loves Velvet and thinks it's the best book ever.

My PM said that he thinks Life and Times of Martha Washington in the Twenty-First Century is literally the greatest book of all time and nothing else comes close. NOT EVEN CYCLOPS.


Edit: Speaking of Quitely, I'm personally on team Quitely, but I came across this panel and I think it's pretty hilarious. Damian sure can grow a nice beard for being so young:

It's time for an intervention.

 

[Kipp]

It's time for an intervention.

Yeah, clearly the Cyclops-bashing means he's got some mental issues he needs to get checked out, but the sentiment towards Martha Washington is still spot on. Martha Washington is still just second to Cyclops.

Random questions. Are there any key issues or issues worth anything in these:
Detective comics #537 - #760.
Batman #442 - #593

Bought a couple short boxes from a buddy. Got all his Detective Comics/ Batman books and some other randoms.

 

[Filthy Slug]

It's hot outside and I worked in the yard all morning, so I spent the afternoon inside writing something awful, awful, awful.

So who wants to read it?

I'm down to read something awful. Is it a digital code for Ghost Writer?

 

[WordAssassin]

Bee And Puppycat #2

I wasn't quite sold on this with the first issue but #2, wow! The music box/QR code idea is genius. I even downloaded a QR scanner app on my phone just to see the interactive elements of the book and it was totally worth it. Now, I still don't like all the black/white space but the humor was spot on and was entertaining overall. The last panel put a huge smile on my face.

Hey cool, she kept my ending after all!!

Really glad you liked it! I almost killed myself writing Crystal Beach and arranging Broken Castle but the over-all reaction to the book seems to be that people love the idea so all the hard work paid off!

 

[Kipp]

Oh, totally forgot to be expecting a PM. Just noticed I got the PM from Spike but I'm going to bed now so I can't read it tonight. I did read the first few lines, and it seems very promising indeed. Haha. Looking forward to finishing it tomorrow.

That show was dope as hell and I'm so tired I forgot that awful comic was called Ghost Rider.

You wish.

Also, I never saw that show growing up. Which one of those kids was the ghost writer?

More importantly, that girl in the middle is wearing jeans that are like, eight sizes too big for her.

that's a lotta frickin Batman comics, so surely there's gotta be something good in there. I know Dark Knight, Dark City (452-454) was something people liked. I think you have some Rucka Detective Comics in there towards the end as well. That stuff is probably good.

More importantly, that girl in the middle is wearing jeans that are like, eight sizes too big for her.

i just assume that's what fashion was like in the 90s. dark times.

work was sloooooow today so I read a bunch of comics in my backlog, including those $1 Image Firsts Spawn and Youngblood. They were very 90s, to say the least. Split on Youngblood. On one hand, it probably reads better with the Joe Casey dialogue over the original Liefeld dialogue, but on the other hand, Liefeld's art works better with the old-school coloring. It's not horrible (!) but I can see why they were popular

 

[Messi]

Spent the evening vomiting and feeling generally really shitty. Got a bad piece of food. Destroyed my evening and my chance to catch up on books.

I also was bedridden to the point that I missed Spurs spanking the Heat again

Ugh. Hate when that happens.

Yeah, I could feel pressure on my stomach every way I turned on my bed. It was horrible. Thankfully it seems to have passed quickly.

Clearly watching Argentina play today didn't make you feel better then

It got real bad coming up to half time in that game so I tried going to bed. Missed Messi's stunner :/. He was just like Naaaah fuck yo defense.

Can't complain it's been years since I was sick in any way bar a cold.

I did enjoy Italy the night before though. It seems Catwoman is an Italy fan!

 

[GrandHarrier]

In honor of Messi' condition, today's reason Messi should read the Legion is Drura Sehpt of Somahtur aka Infectious Lass, with the power to spontaneously generate diseases. Sadly, she was rejected by the Legion and instead found a home with the Legion of Substitute Heroes.

I dont even know anymore. But this cheered me up immensely.

Also she is cute.

Somebody remind me to read Afterlife with Archie. Got it sitting on my table and I keep forgetting to read it.

Don't forget to read Afterlife with Archie.

 

[Tizoc]

Still one of the best panels in a Batman series.

It's on his table, in case he forgot where he put it.

I wonder if his table is as white as bii's, probably not.

Actually is a fairly decent era there. Seems like pre-Knightfall right the way through to just before Bruce Wayne Murderer. Classic Bat-era. Some crossovers and stuff (like the Knight-saga and Contagion-No Man's Land) will be missing a lot of issues. Wouldn't know anything about monetary value though. Comics are worth money??

Well played Rafa.

 

[wetflame]

Looking forward to Wicked & Divine this week, hope it's a good one. Rest of the week looks good too, always a good week when Daredevil, Punisher or Wonder Woman are out, and I get all three this week. Can't believe I didn't read ongoing comics before Marvel Now. Only tended to read stuff like Fables, Y: The Last Man or Ex Machina, non-superhero stuff. Now I'm deep into a bunch of different books. Digital makes it so easy to keep adding titles. Need to trim some down.

Books of the week:
Daredevil #4
The Punisher #7
Wicked & Divine #1
Wonder Woman #32

Also picking up
Batwoman #32
Elektra #3
Fables #141
Iron Patriot #4
Silver Surfer #3
Supergirl #32
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #35
Uncanny X-Men #22
The Unwritten: Apocalypse #6
X-Men #15

Yo, the Kryptonian flag is pretty fucking dumb looking.

Well that's from a ye olde ass comic so the design was fine back then.

 

[Messi]

Yo, the Kryptonian flag is pretty fucking dumb looking.

The whole book is pretty dumb looking.

 

[Zombine]

You wish.

Also, I never saw that show growing up. Which one of those kids was the ghost writer?

The ghost writer was this pink ball that could write on a computer. It may or may not be the love child of Mavis Becon.

 

[GrandHarrier]

The whole book is pretty dumb looking.

Your Avatar is dumb looking.

Aquaman is an Alien.

 

[Messi]

Your Avatar is dumb looking.

Aquaman is an Alien.

Woah... Easy now. Let's not say things we will regret.

 

[Tizoc]

Raise your hand if you've read Hickman's Fantastic Four run but haven't read Waid's run? Because all of you need to fix that asap and discover the magnificent art of Mike Wieringo

Woah... Easy now. Let's not say things we will regret.

I see you're dropping a lot of Marvel books, have you checked out Elektra ? Give your eyes the pleasure.

 

[GrandHarrier]

And so what if it is...

Ironically, the character in my current Avatar, the Legion Science Police Liason, Shvaughn Erin, was transgendered in one incarnation of the Legion. Used a pill that turned her female. She was dating Element Lad at the time, if I recall, and lost access to it during an invasion of Earth and started to revert.

Story hasn't grabbed my interest sadly, so I haven't read #2.

 

[ThyMusicMan]

Yeah I agree,, I was thinking the same thing,, giving it a few more issues to see what its got. That art tho,,,, and that Soul eating/lion guy (Cape Crow), lol,, he's pretty badass and creepy.

 

[Messi]

Elektra is worth it for the art alone.

 

[Tizoc]

True dat, the art is amazing, but sadly I focus more on story and characterization, if they grab me I'll stick with a book, otherwise...I skip it.

Elektra is worth it for the art alone.

If I wanted an artbook I'll wait for a collected edition :V

 

[Filthy Slug]

Elektra is worth it for the art alone.

The writing is damn good as well.

 

[Messi]

The writing is damn good as well.

Yep, I am loving it as a whole. Top quality book.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

The writing is damn good as well.

The writing is O-Kayyyyy but feels very predictable. I can feel where it's headed at all times. Art is beyond top tier though, this guy is special.

Art is A+
