Aw yes! Got a ton of Fam over there that never made it over to NY. Knew you were my brother. I plan on going to Tipperary in the near future.

Shithole.
If you know anyone with the last name Clancy tell them they have an illegitimate love child and to pay up. I got statues to buy.

Isn't that like, half the people in Ireland?
Exactly. My checks are long overdue.
Christ what a common name. If you meet anyone in America called Steve let them know we might be cousins.
Every one of them you meet, just remember that there is a little bit of Zombine inside them.
I bet I'm more tan though.
Please. The sun has been out for the past week. We Irish are fully red by now.
I can't quite remember, but how many of you guys are in NorCal? I know sca is, but is anyone else from around this area? We should hit up a few shops and browse around, there's a couple of that have some really nice things like A1 comics and Metropolis comics in Sacramentio, and Fantasy Cards and Games in Livermore, etc
SoCal here. Pretty much the farthest I could possibly be while remaining in the same state. Haha
Holy shit! You might be a second uncle of mine then!
Thank you Irish ancestors who had a thing for Native American women. I hold a tan

Rachel Rising...yay or nay?
Absolutely!
As someone who is generally not a fan of horror related stories, I was hesitant to dip into the series. However, I watched an episode of The Hangout featuring Terry Moore and found their enthusiasm to be infectious. I picked up the first trade and was immediately hooked.
Wondeful! Picking up the bundle during the digital sale right now.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1: Change is Constant by Kevin B. Eastman et al. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1613771398/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Hellboy Library Edition, Volume 1: Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil by Mike Mignola http://www.amazon.com/dp/1593079109/?tag=neogaf0e-20
But get them
here.
Don't make me buy the other Amanda Connor prints.
Oh look at me with my American cheap shipping privilage. Aren't we so great.
Check it Zombine.

What kind of gross stuff are you into, Messi?

So do I, and I'm not into cysts. XD
No one is INTO cysts. They are a curse. Mine was so bad, thought I was gonna die.

Pfft, I could drive to my shop and pick up one of the many signed Power Girl prints and trades they have for sale. That's real privilege.
We need to put cysts on the list next to Quitely and Morrison of things we can't talk about in Comics-GAF.
Case in point, kinda gross cyst story:
So with that, I hereby ban cysts.
Case in point, kinda gross cyst story:
One time in high school I thought I had a mosquito bite, but my math teacher told me it was a cyst. Eventually I popped it open since it was getting annoying and it came out as this super long stringy thing. I shudder and get slightly nauseous thinking about it.
So with that, I hereby ban cysts.
I read Sunstone.
Messi, you avatar quoted yourself. I bet you also wish yourself happy birthday.
I wish I had that kind of privilege. My shop doesn't really get that sort of thing, which is why it's now my ex-shop.

A few years ago I had a couple of sebacious cysts on my scalp. Simple out-patient surgery took care of it. But after the novacane wore off, it WAS NOT pleasant.
Only until they sell out.
I too am thinking about another Amanda Conner print, but they have some nice Elephantmen prints over on hipflask.com that I loke as well, especially dat Man & Elephantman #1 cover by Ian Churchill.
Thanks. With Amazon, I get free 2-day shipping, so is there any reason why I should go with IST instead of my normal buying option of Amazon?
Cheaper price, no tax, free shipping! BAM!

Well, the free shipping is only with orders $50+. If you're spending $100/wk there, you probably never noticed.

Ahh, Yeah, when I was trying to put in an solo order, shipping was factored in and it was more expensive than Amazon prices.
I have Amazon Prime also, and the service just isn't worth it for books. Amazon does not give a single shit about the condition your books arrive in. They might as well ship them in a plastic bag with some rocks. It's the worst.
IST treats each book like a newborn baby, securely shrink wrapping the books, then putting this form fitting foam box over the books before they enter the shipping cardboard box. It's amazing, and it's the main reason I always buy with them. Not to mention that 7 times out of 10 they are cheaper.
the artist is Ross Campbell. He also just recently did a three (or was it four?) issue stint on the main book. If you're curious it was the Northampton story arc.

It was four issues.

AHAHA, yes, that is true! I've never had to pay for shipping so it's always worth it for me to buy books from there.
I have Amazon Prime as well, but California tax kills the deal for certain stuff.

Ugh. Hate those joints. I'm a pvc / statue collector because I hate the joints on action figures. They definitely look awesome aside from that, though. Who makes them?

Freeza pls, they've had a stack of prints at the shop for more than a year now. I'm tempted to buy more but I think one Peej print is enough for now.
This talk of Turtles toys reminds me of how a few years ago I didn't know what to get my sister for her birthday so I bought her two Ninja Turtle toys. It was her 21st birthday and... she wasn't too happy with me! Was worth it for her reaction lol

Revoltech! They all come with anime faces:
What! That's sick. I don't buy a lot of toys (exceptions for waifu figmas and gundam models) but I may have to grab one of those.
Freezasaurus
Member
Haha, that's pretty rad. What does the pricing look like on those? Revoltech is usually pricier than regular figures.
When I do buy merch for a specific franchise I enjoy, it tends to be really unique things like these guys and then I move on. These guys will be my TMNT collection and that's it.
Realistically? $200 for the set :/
Oh whoa. Frank Quitely did a cover for Elephantmen? Had no idea.
Also, they're selling sketchbooks on their site. That's pretty neat. I wish more artists sold sketchbooks filled with scans of sketches they've done.

i've got one of those too. it's the Girl Comics #1 cover.
Of course, i didn't even know that until way later because the print doesn't have the goddamn title or issue number

Oh boy. I will go through every page. But tell me, how does mine compare, will I be ashamed? I'm watching a movie in a min and can't look now.
Oh man. That TMNT action figures thing got me thinking about statues and I was wondering if there were any Doop statues that ever existed. As I suspected, none do, but I did find many hilarious custom Doop statues/figures/heroclix/plushes.

My actual favorite though:

Ordered some books off of IST:
Black Canary and Zatanna Bloodspell
Uncanny Avengers Vol 3
She-Hulk by Dan Slott Vol 2
Black Science Vol 1
Been dying to read Bloodspell and I didn't even know She-Hulk Vol 2 was out!

more reading:
Silver Surfer #3 - It was okay, not dropping it yet, but it does feel like the book wants to be a crazier adventure than it is.
She-Hulk #5 - I did like it more than the previous Kristoff stuff, but i didn't think it was toooooo good, but it was enjoyable. Soule did a better job incorporating Jen's surrounding cast.

Silver Surfer is a funny book, because aside from the Mike Allred art, I never look forward to reading it, and it's usually one of the last books I'll read for whatever week it comes out. But I always end up enjoying it quite a bit.
Done catching up with Batman Zero Year and it's pretty rad, there's some crazy shit going on and I'm loving it.
I had to do a double take on that part. So good.
:lol :lol
