Better than average eBay Haul today.
I finally remembered to pick up Cover 1A of The Wicked & The Divine to complete the lot. I had two variant issues of #1, but never 1A, so was pretty excited. Even better was the price I got for it. I actually thought it may not be legit and someone was listing one of the variants for A, but it was the real deal.
The other comics were the Marvel Hip Hop variant covers. The Ultramagnetic MC's and Onyx tribute covers for Civil War II, and the CA:Steve Rogers cover inspired by J Dilla's Donuts.
The final comic was my replacement of the 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank "Larry's Comics" variant cover, which is a comic shop in Massachusetts that I happen to share my name with.
Better than average eBay Haul today.

Nice pickups. I have that Wicked cover and I also have this one:

Might be my fave cover from that series. I collect all the covers with Laura on them.

Damn, that looks good. 7 hours in a car tomorrow, might as well take this along with me.

Also, the art book is only $6 on hamiltonbook.com. (Shipping on the first book is $3 or so).

Remasters, pfffft.

That is a game with slightly better than N64 level graphics and audio and a bunch of bugs. Remake would be a better word for it. Graphical and audio update. Remove the bugs and glitches. Add boss health bars, fix the inventory, and add the ability to "delete" a character's levels (like Castle Crashers).

One and done.

Here's the Millar/Capullo book.

Reborn stars Bonnie Black, an 80-year-old woman who finds herself in a fantasy world after she dies. The official synopsis reads as follows:

“It’s not Heaven. It’s not Hell. It’s as real and hard as where we live now, but filled with the most amazing fantasy landscapes, jaw-dropping creatures and a battle raging between good and evil. The people she loved in this world — her father and her childhood dog — but oddly, not her husband who had passed over 14 years before. So she sets out to find him. She realizes that she has been reborn as a 25 year-old woman with a sword in her hand and gun on her hip.”

And not surprisingly...

Reborn was created with an eye to transitioning the project to film, with Millar telling Deadline that “the idea is always to create the project and then find the right producer for it. We have an idea of who would be good for this one. It must be someone who will understand the story and is passionate about bringing our vision to the screen.”

Shame she gets re-incarnated in a 25 year old body. Would have been interesting to have an older protagonist, like Dial H. But I guess Hollywood wouldn't be interested in that.

YO I wanted to buy the collectors edition because of the steelcase. tell me how it is . gotta download the demo sometime. 20 bucks more for a artbook, shirt, and steel case is a great deal.

IGN did an unboxing video for the Storybook edition. Can't wait. Odin Sphere and Zootopia in the same day!

A little over halfway into East of West Year One. Really good. I'm not LOVING it, but I'm liking it a lot.

I've followed that series from day one, and sometimes I felt like it was taking a long time to come together, but it was never not interesting.

I always figured it would read much better collected.

Can I get some suggestions for great mainstream Superman/Action Comics stories before Pre-New 52? Not talking about All Star, Red Son, or other stuff like that?

Do you need a doctor? I want to figure Tracer out, but right now I'm a huge liability to my team with her. She feels like she'd work way better with mouse and keyboard.

It really is. Best update they've done. I've been a subscriber for four years now, and we've come so far from the dark ages where it was in contention for worst app in the store. Now it's actually great.

Last week, Bungie announced it would hold a "Destiny Reveal Stream" on Thursday, June 9, at 10 AM PT. We'll be learning "all about the next threat that you'll confront as Guardians" during the stream, which will be happening on Bungie's Twitch channel. It could be that Bungie reveals Rise of Iron during this event, though that is not confirmed.



Looking further out, Bungie is also working on a Destiny sequel for 2017, which was recently rebooted, according to a report.


I put a lot of hours into destiny and wouldn't mind going back

Here's the thing about video game announcements for me...

It only takes one game.

Like, people bitch about "quiet" events and whatnot, but how much time do you actually have for games? I can get a game in during the weekends, evenings in some cases, and it takes me a minute to "finish" them. There aren't a ton of announcements, but all of them are things I really want and will take up a lot of time.

Destiny
Forza
Dead Rising
Gears 4
PC stuff
Freakin Deus Ex in August

I mean...there's a ton of hours right there alone.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH Gamestop called and said my Odin Sphere Storybook edition won't be in until Wednesday because of a distribution delay.

I knew comics were a mistake.
