Southern Bastards is almost a pitch perfect representation of the south. If you dont like the way the characters are portrayed becauze they come off as stereotypes, that's ok. We think the actual people from Bama are too much like stereotypes except it's real and terifying.

The moral of the story (besides the fact that people should be paid more) is: Learn to become a highly coveted cover artist, son.
The "how would you rate your experience" section is fascinating. For all the shit they get apparently DC is the most highly rated?

I can see J Scott Campbell laughing at me and my proportionate female characters
And there's a difference between people from there telling their story and Harvard comedians making jokes.

There is a bit of a caveat with that link I posted. Some of the people who responded to the questions must be Comic artists on the side especially the Web comics people. It's pretty difficult to make a living as a webcomics artist. At least in print comics, people expect to pay for the content

Man, anyone who isn't down with Tocchini art hates art.
SQUEEEE!
And Jesus Christ, what's up with that ODY-C cover?

It's a very fluid style that doesn't feel like it adheres to any traditional lineart.

I was never a big L4D fan. The gameplay mechanics were too bare-bones for my taste. Like a 1990's FPS.

Pfffffft. That cliffhanger is never going to be resolved.
Oh, first of all, thanks to people who gave me scifi comic suggestions, I tackled Planetary which was nice, even if I wasn't completely sold on the art (I'm weird and picky, plus I read manga). The Invisible Republic looks pretty cool... need more of it!
Now another dumb question, being an OCD nerd I try to find the cover previews in best quality possible. So where do sites get pics for the mass solicitation posts?

Comic Book Resources keeps their old solicit pages up. Usually hi-res and no logos.

HoI3 isn't going to hit until next year, so a 2017 release estimate isn't out of the question.

After this E3 I've learned anything is possible.
Actually. Thinking about this E3 what helped it be so amazing was the return of Japanese (mostly square) back to the console/PC space. I think Japan's move to steam has helped a lot
Now to get caught up on comics.

I am at the point now where they have to show a ton for me to invest in a launch Nintendo system again. All how systems are not the best investments at launch but with Nintendo I think it's time to wait and buy in a bundle bunch.

Lolwut. Why?
Perfectly reasonable. I'll keep buying CK2 addons until 2017 and then Paradox can reward me properly with a full price title and even more DLC to buy.
Why would they taunt you like this?
I have no clue. Series is preordered for months, I have no idea.
Literally no console ever these past couple of gens imo showed any games of significant interest at launch. I wait a year or two before getting one, Nintendo is no exception.

Most that that data is, sadly, not surprising.
Random things I note. Also, I think I overdid it:
I'm a bit confused why the sample size is referred to as not being statistically significant without any sort of p-value or the like being given. Not talking about how this is a non-random sample (as it clearly is not) is something else I think is missing and I'm being way too serious about this probably.
Using my basic math skills, it appears that 2 people didn't answer for gender and 15 people decided, unhelpfully, that their gender was "cis". I have no idea how the question was set up. but with 32/184 (17.4%) of the responses to gender falling into a space other than male/female I would have liked to have seen an attempt to split this into cis/trans along with male/female plus (a) non-binary and/or other option(s). This is especially true since the follow up piece on gender has a very awkward male/female/trans split that honestly makes no sense.
as a result, it's unclear if everyone in the male and female categories are cis and the trans category is completely useless. Very small sample sizes especially make much of the gender evaluation on the next page questionable.
It's weird how they talk about Valiant supposedly valuing their creators so much and them enjoying the experience there when Valiant is firmly in the middle of the pack in the ratings of experience with publishers, finding themselves slightly behind Marvel and IDW and only above the mediocre ratings of Boom and Dynamite.
The lack of any real crosstab data outside the problematic gender-based follow up is disappointing as well.

The paper is rather nice with a matte feel, like in Absolute Watchmen.
Next to more Ellis Absolutes. No space for writer/artist names on the spine. Now if I could only find Absolute Authority at a reasonable price.
Also, damn you Vertigo, where's my dust jacket.

Dust jackets are gross. Embrace the naked hardcover.
That looks great.
And man, fuck dust jackets. Absolute Final Crisis looks so goofy with one next to Absolute Batman and Robin and Absolute Batman Inc which don't have them.

CBR, same as every other solicit day ever.
Is it just me, or did they change the way they're drawing Quake?
It looks like they're making her eyes a bit more almond-shaped to make her look more like Skye in the Agents of SHIELD TV show.
Maria Hill? Is that you?

Quake has always looked like a doppelganger for Maria Hill, but I mean the eyes in particular.
