I did get a hand written "THANKS!" though! What could it all mean????

I got the same thing. You're not special, so nyah!

Downswing:

didn't really like Daredevil #4, Avengers #31, or Uncanny Avengers #20. For Daredevil, The Shroud/Owley dynamic just isn't as interesting as i think Waid wants it to be. It's not a bad comic, but i don't think it's memorable. Avengers #31 decided to abandon what made me like issue #29 so much in favor of the time warp, which will probably pay off, but i liked where #29 was going addressing Cap/Illuminati directly. Uncanny Avengers #20 i didn't like the x-men/magneto future stuff, i feel like the story went off the rails as soon as we went into the future.

Future bad. Quit it.

AMANDA CONNER IS DOING THE NEW CATWOMAN BOOK.

Man imagine a Catwoman book by Conner and Palmiotti... That would be amazing and I'm not even a fan of the character

Clearly it's another hint. But what could it mean?

 

[Zombine]

Clearly it's another hint. But what could it mean?

And it was said TWICE. Thanks is 6 letters...6x2=12. In 12 months the dude who wrote "Thanks" is going to tell Connor to draw Catwoman.

That set that scene up pretty well.

Spoiler

Janitor draws you into his tragic story, and the perspectives Staples uses makes him the focus of attention. You start hanging onto his words, and you're mentally leaning in to hear what his son's last words are. Then BAM didn't expect that did you. An effective bit of the ol' ultraviolence

Exactly. I think that

it was sad as shit, what happened. But at the same time I felt some measure of relief that it wasn't any of the main characters.

Am I a bad person?

much more tragic. It was really organic and I have to give BKV credit for the writing.

Honestly, they both look perfectly fine to me. Do you have less-than-stellar eyesight? That may have something to do with it. Unless it's just preference.

White backgrounds are more pleasing and I guess I have astigmatism that causes blur at all distances. I never wear my glasses at work though. Lol, and I sell eyeglasses and contacts. Lol.

Maybe we should talk about comics again. Storm #1 unlettered preview up @ CBR. Digging the artwork.

If anyone was after the SDCC exclusive Psylocke, you'd better hurry. Koto is already showing low inventory. My order came to $76 with domestic US shipping.

Limited to 1500 pieces.

There's also an SDCC exclusive metallic Spider-Woman, limited to 800 pieces.

No online sales for this one, I think.

Wow that is awesome. I'm going to pick that one up.

 

[Kipp]

Looks like the SDCC Bob Kane Batman statue is still open for pre-orders too, if anyone's interested.
I want to want it, but that pose is just so incredibly boring with the cape covering the whole statue.

Also, dark theme for life. If this spoiler tag ain't white, you ain't right.

They still seem to have plenty left, which kind of surprised me. I guess no one gives a shit about Bob Kane. Nah, what it really is is that the ArtFX+ line is only 1/10 scale, which is a tiny, shitty scale for figures to be in.

....or they just made a ton more than Psylocke's limited 1500-piece run.

Aah. I thought that statue must've been smaller than most since there really isn't much detail at all on it.
But yeah, I was still pretty surprised that as a SDCC exclusive it wasn't sold out yet.

Yeah, the Psylocke statue is 1/7 scale, as most of the bishoujo line is.

Gotcha. That Psylocke statue is very nice. If I liked the character (haven't read any X-Men yet...) I'd definitely consider it. I love how colorful it is too.

Maybe eventually I'll step into the statue realm, but I haven't been convinced I need one yet. (Although this Mike Mignola Batman B&W statue is super cool.)
Edit: Makes me wonder why there isn't a Hellboy statue done in Mignola's style yet... That'd be super great. Google shows me that there have been a few Hellboy statues, but none that have Mignola's sharp lines and stylization.

Second edit: Wait! I've got it! I know what statue I'd totally buy. A 1/10 scale (assuming it's $40ish) Black Beetle figure. Now that I'd want on my shelf.

I think list price on those was something like $250 a pop.

Gwen is $270, MJ is $250

 

[tim1138]

Just read the Bill Mantlo/Mike Mignola Rocket miniseries from 1985, boy that is definitely a product of its time. The story was completely insane and it was interesting to see super early Mignola art, overall it was a worthwhile read. Hooray for old comics!

 

[shadyspace]

any of you guys read that Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover for a couple years back? How was it?

 

[Cheska]

If anyone attending SDCC would be gracious enough to pick me up that SDCC exclusive Spider-Woman bishoujo I would be eternally grateful!!

Just shoot me a PM and we can exchange info so I can instantly transfer over the money

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Imagine reading Dark Horse comics on it... I've read through a few trades on my 4S and it's been an interesting experience lol

My first IST order came in while I was at work. Despite how much you guys rave about them, I cannot get over this shipping quality. I don't think I'll ever order books from anywhere else again!

Now I need to figure out what to read first. Probably gonna read Bloodspell.

Wow, you really like the metallic paint? It reminds me too much of the metallic POP! figure variants. Plus I thought the original looks better. Or is it the fact that it's limited to 800 pieces that got your attention?

Nope, I truly love it! Then again, I don't think I'm going to end up getting the 90's Psylocke.

 

[Zombine]

I flaked on Psylocke. To be completely honest with you, I prefer her black suit over the ridiculous one piece bathing suit.


Also, she's gotta get that leg checked out because it's all kinda of fucked up.

Did you get the initial release, or will this be your only Spider-Woman bishoujo? One thing I liked is that there's a little compartment inside the base to store the alternate face that you're not currently using.

But....but.... PURPLE HAIR!!!!

I bought the initial release in the X-Force colorway, and she looks great. But I do prefer the original coloring for the character, Though it kind of boggles the mind why (even going back to the first Psylocke bishoujo) they never gave her a psychic knife effect part. The Storm, Jean Grey and Ms. Marvel / Binary figures all have accessories related to their powers.

Only Spider-Woman bishoujo. I do have the X-Force Psylocke though.
