Are all the digital versions of Bone in color? Was hoping to check out the series in its original black and white look

You'd have to grab the paperback one-volume edition. I would have grabbed that to read it but the paper is really awful. It's so thin you can see the inks from the next page through the one you're reading.

Is Saga really that good? I follow a guy who's raving about it in response to the Cap/Rebirth stuff.

The only Image comics I have as of now are Fix and Velvet.

I've seen Jeff Lemire's Sweet Tooth be compared to The Road. Is it really that bleak and dark?

Yes. It's really that good.

You can't deny the game types are very sparse here. You're either playing control or escort and that's it. I need more. I love the game, but it needs more to have the longevity of other MP shooters.



They realized how stupid of an idea it was.

What other modes do you want? I dont play mp shooters usually. TDM isn't happening. CTF? What else is common?

Team Match is obvious but Blizz is trying to save that for later apparently. I agree, two modes is gonna get old within a month or two.

That sounds like Blizzard's problem to figure out and not mine. All I know is what they have now isn't going to foster a long-term community for the game.

You played it for 3 days, are already bored and its blizzard's problem? Alrighty then. Like you said people are different and thats ok.

Something to worry about in 1 month or 2 in my opinion but to each its own. There is zero reason to think they wont actively add new shit looking at their track record with their games (Diablo patches and seasons every 3 months, new heroes every 3 weeks in hots and new maps every few months, 467 thousand hearthstone expansions, etc)

I put Saga in the solid category, i enjoy reading it monthly but the story isn't strong enough to reallllly tell people comics weren't a mistake.

Attack party with 3 gunslinger guys...it was so bad guys. bad.

Velvet is awesome. If you like Brubaker's style, you need to check out Criminal and Fatale

Besides Velvet, my favorite Image series are Lazarus, Stray Bullets, and Prophet

We should do a Preacher book club.

I want to re-read it :(

A month or two is still an extremely short period of time for a game like this.

I don't know any characters who have any and just curious about it.

Well, depending. You could make heavy objects lighter or vice-versa. Never mind the fact that you could literally tear things / people apart. Gravity is an extremely powerful force. Just look at what black holes can do. There's even time-distortion involved.

Good to hear. I really enjoyed it back in the day. I should do a re-read sometime.

PC? Awwwwww I'm on the PS4. The reason I asked is my hours are a bit different than most people's cuz I work second shift. Which means when I'm waking up here it's the evening over there.

Wow, Sweet Tooth really is like The Road. I'm surprised (and very pleased). Also some Last of Us vibes.


The Metabarons is amazing. I started reading that series last month and it's just this huge epic sprawling creative space opera with incredible art

That's dope. I think I am going to order The Incal.

You can hit me up, if you don't mind that I haven't even finished completing the tutorial yet and will therefore be rubbish.

Edit: Oh, I'm PS4.

Tradd Moore is definitely in my top 10 artist list. The detail on structuring that he puts into every panel in Legacy of Luther Strode is fucking amazing.

JLA #1 - #9, JLA Secret Files #1: This was great. Still in the team building phase I guess but it has a couple of very good arcs to go with that. So many intriguing new characters introduced (and a few already disposed off) in usual Morrison style. And a lot of set-up too. I love how Superman and Wally's discussion at the beginning of the Zauriel arc happens when Wally is re-arranging the trophy cabinets and hints at what Connor needs towards the end of the arc. I can also kind of see why Wally West and Kyle are popular and why people were pissed when they were sidelined.

Why is Wally irritated with Kyle?

Issue 5 with Tomorrow Woman was great too. Hope she turns up again sometime.

Only nitpicks with the volume - Wonder Woman just seems to be pushed into the background most of the time. It is always Superman or Flash or one of the others getting the big moments. Still no Plastic Man or Big Barda.

How are Alejandro Jodorowsky comics?
Click to expand...

They can run the whole gamut of wtf to greatest of all time (sometimes within the same comic even). I would suggest starting with The Incal or Sun of the Gun and see if his writing style is for you.

Let's all hold a book club at the same time. But here are the rules:

1) pick a book you may really like
2) get excited
3) read 2-3 issues
4) forget about your book club and move on

Question for you guys with marvel unlimited: is there some reason some issues are now not showing up? I was just reading through Morrison's New X-men and I'm up to 142 but when I tried loading it only gave me a page. When I closed the app and reopened I couldn't find that issue or the 4-5 previous ones through the browse menu even though I've read them already. Using android app.

On iOS when I run into problems the close/reload after clearing it out from the background usually works.
