Its fine, its just... normal shit we all have I guess (debts, mortgages, what have you), I dont make a big deal out of it, it is what it is and you deal with it. Just seeing alot of first world problems on gaf lately tho and it starts to get to you lol.
Or, you know, I'm cranky like I said.

Most would say yes, but I preferred Ruckas run over Ennis's MK work. The Mk run was pretty silly and over the top. He brought a lot of his Preacher sensibilities to the series, minus the heart. But the bar was so so low when he took over It elevated the start of his run more than my tasks on it.
Now his punisher max comics he did later? Those were great.
I'm sorry mreddie.
Maybe talk about the situation with your brothers or a close family member. Extended family can be fine, but sometimes they don't need to be the wedge between you and your family they can be. You need to bullshit or just someone to rant at for a while, feel free man.
Yeah I think a case would help. I'm gonna see what the 10" Pro offers tomorrow and decide from there. That two page view tho....

I buy hot toys and original art. I am barely an adult
I buy comic and anime waifu statues and expensive art prints. I am perfectly equipped to deal with the world we live in.

I mean, I had to save up my personal money and basically wait to get this iPad half off before I could pull the trigger. You hittin that hot toys shit on the regular
I am coated in envy, like Dwight's hands are coated in stickem

Personal money? I doubt Messi is putting those Hot Toys on a company expense account.
Lol, no, nothing like that. The wife and I put the majority of our pay checks into a joint account. We keep a little bit for ourselves for our own stuff (like my comics) or for gifts.
It's all about picking your battles with hot toys and waiting for the right ones. I have very few bills currently so it allows me a fair bit of my wages to spend on random shit.
Fucking Dwight man. Bad enough that he cheated but then to be dumb enough to say you have done it in every game for years. Ffs.
Age of Apocalypse #2-4: Great take on this universe (im biased since AoA is my favorite event ever) as the X-Men and the Horsemen are caught in the middle of a war and a legacy virus outbreak. Sandoval's art is awesome as usual, unfortunately he doesnt do issue #4. I like the twist with
. Hopefully Sando is back for #5 but I have a feeling he was probably busy with New Avengers by this point. I wish he was on a X-Men title, I feel like his style suits those books the best.
House of M #1-3: wasnt really feeling this at first, especially coming off of AoA (another domain ruled by mutants where humans are hunted) but it grew on me with the namor/quicksilver coup. Art is kind of bland in issues 1 and 2 but I really like the artist on #3. Anyway nothing amazing but its ok, the definition of a MU title (as opposed to something you would buy).
Apocalypse dyung to the Legacy virus he himself released to see who was fit to survive

I saw that on nba.com after it happened. It might be more gamesmanship than cheating? The real problem is he's been using stickum for years yet a championship has always gotten through his grasp.
I do not care if that's an easy joke, it needs to be done.

Have any of you read this?
It has Cliff Chiang on art but the book is based off of a Neil Young album of whom I don't listen to.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401228224/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I remember someone here not liking it, I think it was Kipp. Called it super boring iirc. Shame because Dysart/Chiang is a killer team on paper
At least you have a pet and if that was a sight against me, whatever. I know people have it worst than me, I just hate myself.

oh, for sure - War Stories & the like were absolute highlights. i didn't read the Platoon thing he did (most of his punisher work was grand, though) but Section 8 was like a boring dick joke after the greatness that was Hitman, personally.

So C2E2 was pretty good this year,,, kinda sucked i didnt sleep much night before so I was only at C2E2 for like 4 or 5 hours and i took off..
Really disappointed in myself for not seeing Mike Mignola( had no patients left for long as lines before he was even there.
Greg Capullo is they coolest, awesomest dude in the comic business that I have ever met.
There was already 100+ people in line 10 minutes into the Con (including me), and he wasn't even going to be at his table till noon.
He got there at 11:30am and shook EVERY, SINGLE persons hand that was in line and talked to them. Such a cool ass guy.
His wife actually had to come get him because he was talking on some random persons phone in line while making his way back to his table.. lol
Also I cracked this CGC graded book open,,, and got Capullo and the inker " cgc witness signed",, my holy grail is complete...now I wait 2+ months for the damn book back.
(I will post the rest of my shit I got at the con after work, i only got one sketch done this year too by Vanesa Del Ray)

Kind of funny, but I bought a big 400-page library edition from Dark Horse the other week, and no shit, it's twice as thick as a 400-page omnibus from Marvel. No excuse for that.
Once again, Cincy Comic Con is crushing it with guests. the initial line up was revealed today - http://www.cincycomicon.com/creators/

I missed out on Capullo during last year's SDCC. I could have gotten him and Snyder to sign my Batman #1 but I was never early enough to get to DC's booth to grab a wristband, though I was gunning for other things at the time. If he returns to SDCC this year, he's definitely at the top of my list.
Also, I think it's BS that in order to get your shit CGC graded with a signature, you would have to have a member of their team witness it. Whatever.
And I want to see the sketch you got.

What do u mean by why? Why soule took the comic in another direction?
It isnt anything uncommon it happened to cass when another writer took over a cass batgirl mini thatbitnored stuff from previous books
New writers disregarding their predecessors work isnt uncommon
Wait in a line, get to the front of a line - "My friend ran to get the CGC witness" . I've never done it but it seems like a pain..especially at a larger show.
Stegman did a "Trapped in a CGC Case" sketch for someone at C2E2

The end of Batman #49 was so badass. Damn. That issue singlehandedly redeemed the memory machine concept, which up until that point I thought was incredibly stupid. The whole issue in fact felt very, very Morrison. So in the wait for #50 I'm rereading Morrison's run and gawdamn it's even better the second time around.

Thanks for the reminder. Ordered.
- So when do I actually get it?

It is actually a fairly good turnaround time for the omnibus. The last issue of the comic isn't out till end May.

Oh, so that's gonna be what, seven trades worth of comic in one book?
Yeah, I could not put a finger on why I loved it so much, but this is spot on.
Not my fault if you don't enjoy good comic books.

Your record has been pretty good up to this point. But you slipped on All-New Wolverine. That book was not as good as you made it seem.

7 Trades (42 issues). But the page count is a bit odd. 776 including a cover gallery.

I really like Rachel Rising so far, but I'm gonna have to skip on this book. I did really want it, but I had to spend more money than I was expecting this weekend. I have the whole thing digitally and the first few trades physically anyways, so it's not a HUGE loss for me.
Highly recommend it to anyone though. Very good artwork and characters with a good story to back it up.

It's not to bad really,, but can seem a little stressful trying to make sure there is a witness around,, if not you gotta go to the booth once you start getting closer to the front of the line.
If its a big artist then there will be like 2 witnesses there, so they can alternate taking people back to the booth after its been signed.
But if they aren't around then yeah you have to go get them for the signature. they're usually always located right next to artist alley basically.
Probably the only book I'll have sig cgc'd
