Went to the other comic shop in town today and it was cool. They had some OOP stuff and a bunch of those Kotobukiya figures. I wanted Batwoman but I don't really have room for her so I didn't get her.

If you knew how any Kotobukiya figures I have you would be disgusted.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Did you consider giving away some comics to make room?

Outrageous question

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Outrageous question

Money money money.

Maybe it's just me but I see some influence.

yeah, some of Craig's layouts are pretty reminiscent of Miller's formally inventive 80's work (DKR, Ronin), though I think there's more to it than just Miller

 

[Messi]

Mercy no! you were only defending yourself

I see a lot of Lone Wolf and Cub framing influences in both of those second two pages...

Miller has cited manga as a big influence to his style IIRC. I feel like that's one of the titles he referenced too but I'm sure someone else (frye) will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the silhouette stuff in the last two is kind of similar, but not enough that I'd directly compare the two. I don't see any similarities in the first set of pictures at all.

Miller did draw the covers for the US release of Lone Wolf & Cub.

I always think 80s Chaykin with Wes Craig, like American Flagg, the Shadow, Time2, etc

yeah, he was one of the first artists who read that stuff and incorporated it into his own comics. Goeski Kojima's work on Lone Wolf and Cub is the really huge influence on Miller's mid 80's comics

I always think 80s Chaykin with Wes Craig, like American Flagg, the Shadow, Time2, etc

that's a good call too, and there's a clear throughline between that run of Chaykin comics and Miller

Mercy no! you were only defending yourself

"I don't know what happened. I just couldn't pull the trigger right away. I never had any problems in training. But when I thought about my bullets tearing through those soldiers' bodies, I hesitated....."

"Shooting at targets and shooting at living, breathing people are different."

"Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed about being a soldier. Everyday of my life. I've trained my mind and body for the one day when I could finally see some real action, and now...."

"So what now? You wanna quit?"

"I can't quit. I can't allow myself to quit now."

"Listen, Mercy. Everybody feels sick the first time they kill someone. Unfortunately, killing is one of those things that gets easier the more you do it. In a war, all of mankind's worst emotions.....worst traits come out. It's easy to forget what a sin is in the middle of a battlefield."

My Mercy loves to kill. She is an angel of death.

That is not how you're supposed to play her. She only has one offensive option.

Fans of one of the best games out there. Men of fine taste.

 

[JTripper]

Was Preacher good?

(both tv premiere and comic related answers are acceptable as I have not watched it yet or read it)

 

[BoosterDuck]

Brah, Overwatch has had a folder in my stash for months.

TF2 was Valve, bro.

 

[BoosterDuck]

TF2 was Valve, bro.

and Blizzard is ripping from Valve

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

What the hell am I gonna do with an Overwatch metal plate? I honestly don't want it. It's just gonna collect dust.

 

[tim1138]

so if I put everyone talking about Overwatch on ignore for the next few days, would my posts the only ones I see?!

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is it still ripping if you do it better?

There's a strong possibility.

I'll still be here I think

Good comics coming out this week

 

[RepairmanJack]

No need to ignore, everyone will be too busy playing to post.

Isn't Rebirth out this week? If those leaks are anything to go by, it would be hard to ignore. Sounds pretty crazy.

I have decided to watch an episode because of this post. It's pretty okay so far.

EDIT: Okay never mind. I decided to stop watching that and get back to Community. I have only three episodes left!

TF2 takes a huge dump on that 20 tick no teamwork bad design garbage score Snorewatch

and no trading lol uh oh blizz

 

[VanWinkle]

Just finished the DC One Million omnibus. Very good. I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the tie-ins were meh but a lot of them were good, and I enjoyed the story. The 80-page one-shot near the end was awesome, too.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I do plenty of that too. But one must defend themselves if one is to help others.

I'm not getting it. I don't get the hype surrounding it.

Supermans street design looks so insanely stupid, it destroyed the Grayson issue for me.
Yikes, so awful. He is getting his old costum and the cape back in Rebirth?


Edit: and he is driving a motorcycle? Seriously?!?

Seemed alright. Most of their stuff is critiques of and lists of favorite comic shows/movies.

Video I watched was an actual comic video.

Funny thing is, Lex Luthors monolouge later in the issue made me kinda appreciate what Clark is still doing.

Still hate the design.
