Melatonin is really safe. If you're really having trouble sleeping, I'd highly recommend it.
It can cause a sort of dependence, but other than that, there are no negative effects, since it's your body's natural sleepiness chemical.

Ayy, just wanted to pop in and second Kipp's professional doctoring here. Melatonin is completely safe and natural, and will probably give you rad dreams. I have tons of lucid dreams whenever I take it.

 

[echoshifting]

Yeah, I recently started taking melatonin for sleep issues, helps a lot. You just have to be careful not to take it too late or you are groggy as hell the next day

 

[Filthy Slug]

You know what else helps me get to sleep. A nice twix bar. I alway keep a supply handy, for those long nights, stop my pile of unread comics.

Attilan Rising is picking up steam. Digging it. Kamala OP
Constantine the Hellblazer was dope.
Red Hood and Arsenal was eh
Silk was good
Spider Gwen was good

Also picked up Ms. Marvel Volume 3: Crushed and Nightwing Volume 2: Rough Justice (a reprint of a trade I read back in the day that made me go "Nightwing is fucking sick, brah!")

How did comic gaf like Jurassic World? Seems like I'm in the vast minority that was disappointed by it

It's predicated on every single person (save for Chris Pratt) making every single stupid decision on the planet.

That being said, dinosaurs fuck shit up. So it does have that.

Idk dude. I just think it's a giant ruse and trying to generate some buzz. I genuinely believe that Batwoman loves her girlfriend, where as the Ivy & Harley "relationship" is like what a teenage boy thinks an all girl sleepover is like.
It's been like that since forever.

Are they not like that?

I don't know what you're talking about.

For me, Ivy and Harley's relationship was best during Dini's....Harley and Ivy....three issue mini.

The fuck is that art?

platinum is making a licensed game for Activision, r u ok jc

[BKatastrophe]

The Origin of the Inhumans is so difficult for me to read, that I've had to take multiple breaks over the course of like, 4 weeks and I'm still not done with it. I have at LEAST 150 pages left.

Fuck, man. Silver Age goddamned FF.

"Crystal, stop asking questions and just submit yourself! Like Sue usually does!"

Jigga you used to be on SteamGAF, we buy whatever we want and weep about it later.
Now you in the Comics thread where peeps buy crappy comics just for the art.

You ain't got no right to critiquing bro :V

 

[Serpentine]

Let's not forget the people who buy crappy comics just for the writing

smh @ not even pulling Scott Lobdell's Doomed #1. Sounds like something a hater would do

If the writing is good, the comic isn't crappy.
Stop trying to be a smarty pants, kid.

Has anyone of the uk-bros here used BOOKSetc on Amazon Marketplace? Lying awake this morning I realized my Orion Omnibus still hasn't arrived, two weeks after I ordered it, ten days after it was dispatched...

That's my fear but I'm holding out hope they threw more talent to this one. The screens look soooo good.

I dont know why you come to this conclusion.
I was more "huh, ... Ok?" And I dont think that Messi meant his post pejoratively.

hah I had the same reaction. Elnarez I think you're reading into something that isn't there with the discussion so far.

 

[arkon]

Ummmm. Okay, real talk. It seems I've completely forgotten how to draw even half-decently. I rescind my offer to draw requests.

I just tried to draw an arm punching somebody and failed miserably.

This is not like riding a bike.

You mean you knew how to draw half-decently?

Infinity Gauntlet had a pretty strong first issue

 

[Vito]

So I've read Low, Descender, Black Science (need to catch up), in the past I've read Six Gun Gorilla, East of West (should probably re-read and catch up too), any other scifi recommendations with great art?

Oh, read Rocket Girl and of course still reading Saga as well. I try keeping up with the news, but sites like CBR just overwhelm me with Marvel and DC stuff. I'll finish Chrononauts as well cause I love Murphy's artwork.

Yeah, I recently started taking melatonin for sleep issues, helps a lot. You just have to be careful not to take it too late or you are groggy as hell the next day

Been taking Melatonin for a few months now about 30 minutes before bed, and I have to say that the pill has helped me reclaim my rest a bit.

Long story short, I have a fucked up septum, and it causes me to never really hit rem at night. I can easily wake up a few times a night then wake up at 6 AM and not be able to go back to sleep. I started taking 2 melatonin pills a night, and while you won't sleep the next day till like 10am or anything ridiculous, if you do take it you'll notice that you sleep as soundly as your body will let you, and if you take the right pill you'll wake up feeling fine.

I rep those nature made pills from Walmart.

Edit: I also don't rely on them. I take them on and off through the week, and it tricks my body on my off day to sleep just as well as an on day.

I think the implication there is the kid was conceived right after Infinity and that's why we stopped seeing her and Sam (and by extension, Bobby) in the main book.

I kinda hate that Hickman did that though. Like, I hope SW retcons that.

I read the wiki on that. The word "supergestated" was used.

Comics just can't let children's births be normal can they?

Its the law of comics. The more common the event, the more dramatic it becomes in comics. See Weddings

Kingsman is $12.99 blu ray at Best Buy, Redbox doesn't have the movie until early July.

Is it worth buying if i don't buy movies? For reference, I liked John Wick a lot but was content in not buying it.

Its a great movie

I do want to give one word of warning on melatonin based on my own experiences. I'm still not sure if it was just a bad reaction for me or because the pills I got were so high dose (10 mg because I had no idea WTF I was doing), but when I took them I basically couldn't sleep and was completely fucked up. It was a nightmare for the couple days it took for me to be certain that it was the cause. Missed a few days of work, even So just be careful with it.
