Had exactly the same feeling after watching the Trailer for the first Mad Max. Looked not even like Post-Apocalyptic.
Should maybe open my Mad Max Trilogy Set today (maybe not when neither my Fantastic Four Omnibus nor Wolfenstein arrives...)

Yo, I could totally go for a Mad Max comic based on Humungous. He may be one of the all-time great characters.
What did you do to offend him? Fucking hell Zombeen
Made a joke about the Avengers reading order??? Lol wasn't even directed toward that person. It's just something I find funny. But to PM me with some snarky "thank you" is pretty lame and is insulting to all of us.

I wish I could agree with you. There's barely a plot, and the acting is hilariously awful, and the overall movie is just kind of bad. The fucking sets and costumes, though, are rad. That said, I do still think everybody should watch it to appreciate Mad Max 3 more.
Also, this fucking kid:

IMO Mad Max 2>1=3
I kinda liked 1 and 2 more than 3, though 3 has its moments.
At the very least watch Mad Max 2 then get into dat Fury Road.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh not all movies are watched for their plot.
Heck Mad Max 2's plot is simple: Max needs gasoline, gets roped up in a battle between Lord Humungus and people who have an oil refinery.
My memories of the original Mad Max movies are firmly entrenched in the past and watching them with my Dad as a kid. They are so awesome in my mind that I refuse to rewatch them and be let down. It's the same with David Lynch's Dune movie, I know that it wasn't good, but I have such fond memories of watching it with my dad when I was like 8 years old that it forever gets a pass.
I dunno man, you might offend someone.

I totally agree, and like I said earlier, the scenery, costumes, and vibe are all fucking awesome, but I recently rewatched 2 and 3 and it was always weird to me that 2 was considered the classic. I basically just think 3 is an excellent movie, not just a good Mad Max flick, and think it deserves more love (for Mayor Tina Turner's sake).
Also, Humongous is the best.
It's always great having movie memories with your Pops, and the Mad Max series is a really cool thing to look fondly back on.
I just remembered a Fantastic Four story from the Civil War era where The Thing escapes the conflict to France and mingles with the French superhero community. Are there any other Marvel or DC comics like that which depicts superhero hotspots in other parts of the world? It gets kind of tiring after a while how all the worldbuilding is completely centered around the United States. At most you get some lip service to Great Britain.

Ok, now, Happy Birthday to Tim.
Alpha/Omega Flight is placed in Canada
The Ultimate Universe has a lot of this. A European Superhuman team (With creative names like Captain France, Captain Germany, Captain Spain and of course Captain Britain) and a lot of Supervillain teams from other countrys.
A Matt Fraction book at the end of the run had a couple of appearences of the chinese Avengers equivalent.

Liking this cover. You'd better not kill Aphra Gillen!
Sorry for shitposting
Carry on.
In my defense i can say that sarcasm is really hard to figure out on the internet if you don't know the person and it's easy to take it as being an asshole. I assumed wrong and I'm sorry for that.
Carry on.

Also, it's weird how the best character in this book is the one without powers, Kris. Her plans are insane.
On another note, I had stalled halfway through the New X-Men omnibus last year, and I had forgotten why, so I picked it up again yesterday. I remember why now.
Awful. I miss Quitely's potato-heads.
Happy birthday Tim!

You sniffed it didn't you
How about those 1 of 1 digital prints :/
Disgraceful behavior. But this is all ink and pencils.
I'm glad you got it. One of the pieces we tag teamed will be here today. I'm so damn excited.
I got a notification that mine is I'm Ireland. Won't get it until Monday tho. I assume it's the side by side ones we got?
Yup
Awww. Too cute.
It's like those matching heart necklaces where they come together to form a full heart.
