Can we dedicate a one hour time frame for animenga talk so i know when to not read comics-gaf?

 

[Calcium]

I'm about to tear through some comics like it's 1993.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Mac n' Cheese with some added Quinoa is amazing. Fight me.

 

[TetraxShards]

Hah I guess my ad "in home massages" kind of fits as well

Once you let anime in there's no coming back

"The anime, it's calling to you. Just let it in."

Everyone knows Miles Morales is the new hotness.

Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce.

How about never?

I let anime into my life and now I am not real.

How can anime be real if you aren't real?

Punisher was okay. Definitely worth a read if you're in to the Ennis stuff.

Are we talking Marvel Knights Ennis Punisher or Max Ennis Punisher? As far as tone and take of the character?

I'd love to have Rucka's Solid Snake/Silent man Punisher to come back. Man that version of the character was so awesome.

I love confident, efficient, quiet action characters. A lot of fun

 

[Owzers]

This would be great. I don't mind people talking about Olivia Wilde, the nba, wrestling, hearthstone, politics, etc etc because i like those things. Even comic talk is acceptable in small amounts.

But not anime.

 

[Tragicomedy]

My best friend once tried to introduce to me anime. We're no longer friends.

This would be great. I don't mind people talking about Olivia Wilde, the nba, wrestling, hearthstone, politics, etc etc because i like those things.

The NBA is the only approved deviation. Particularly, if it involves questioning why the Houston Rockets exist and the Seattle Supersonics do not.

A bit of both. Violence is crazy brutal but not over the top and there is already a villain with a bloody sadistic hobby. There's no internal monologue from Frank so there's a bit of Rucka there too.

Dillon's art is ace here as well.

I've never even had Quinoa and that sounds pretty good.
Good mac and cheese is hard to mess up after you've hit "good mac and cheese."

If it was 93' you would put your comics into polybags and then put them in your moms attic.

It's easy to mess up. Add too much milk and it's just not worth eating anymore.

Anime can only lead to financial ruin. Especially with how shitty the exchange rate to the Yen is now. Comic statues are cheaper.

 

[PsychBat!]

I spent about $60 for a copy of this.

I have no regrets.

I feel like you could say that about most of the pages. It's gorgeous. Any chance it's been selling well?

Doorman is finally out on CMX. Daniel Kibblesmith rules. Do the math.

these dudes were hilarious on their War Rocket Ajax episode so i was disappointed to not find the book at my LCS. might just cave and buy digital

Cool. Will check it out when it makes its way to MU. I know it probably couldn't last for super long stretches but punisher is more interesting as a quiet force of nature. Less a person or a character the better.

For different reasons it's why Priests BP was so fun. Seeing this great mastermind do his things from the eyes of an outsider just amped his aura. The difference is when you get peaks at the person it made it great.

For Frank I have no interest of him as a person. So the more detached the better

 

[Serpentine]

Also i found the dopest looking comic in the $1 bin today

of course I bought all of them.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Stuff like this is why I've really come to start disliking Slott's writing on Amazing.

Spoiler

At some point, Peter stopped feeling like an actual adult and more started resembling a sitcom character. I legit could hear a laugh track in my head the moment he got shut down like that.

Yeah, I see some people online hating on Ross but I agree that Ross' POV is what gave Black Panther that presence in the book. I remember Coates was talking about in an interview at Kotaku.

It was tough for me to get to, “OK, who is he though? Who was this dude?” And I think what Priest was doing, a) you got this white audience, and I think on top of that, what he was trying to construct was a mystique. When you do a mystique the functions of this cat are not as important. You actually want him out of a move a little bit.

Well our failing is it involves actually reading comics. Still Strangers in Paradise was our most successful run yet.

"It's gotten better!" I too, like to engage in the occasional blatant lie.

True enough.

Haha, most of the comics I had when I was a kid weren't worth protecting. All my books came from a used book store.

Only data so far is for the first issue but it sold fairly well. (62, 375) her highest debut yet.

Awesome. I love that she didn't say anything in the first or third issue. Keeps her mysterious.

Ah yes, the critically acclaimed writer of JLA: Act of God.

 

[TheFlow]

How is the binding on those? I really want to pick those up but some recent Image hardcovers are scaring me off. Are they sewn?

I really need to get those Hellboys as well.

The binding is glue but zero gutter loss and the pages actually stay still. Plus the deluxe editions are slim books so no worry about pages falling out.

Def a good buy

That's a reading club in name only, nobody is reading the same stuff

I'm glad the thread's doing well though

Two more days until the Secret Wars anniversary.

lol I am just getting ready to rewatch that in about an hour

Maybe I should read Secret Wars instead

 

[Kipp]

Just finished TPB Vol 2 of Hitman. Totally loving it still.
It really reminds me of Preacher so far. And that's basically the highest compliment I could give it.

The last few issues of Nova have been a good read.

Yeah they have been. I love Nova.

 

[Rhaknar]

I liked issue #1, it nails the teenage kid trying to be a superhero on the side.

Also Marvel Zombies was fantastic and now we have no Elsa again. Damn it Marvel get your act together :/

 

[Serpentine]

dollar bins rule

yeah, i've been finding a bunch of cool shit lately. I bought a few Sienkewicz The Shadow comics there the other day as well, just missing the #1. also a random issue of Nexus, and an issue of Batman: 10 Nights of the Beast which I think hasn't been collected

Ah yes, the critically acclaimed writer of JLA: Act of God.

Sometimes people write bad comics but I have a good feeling about this one

 

[Freezasaurus]

Moon Knight was great, as was Empress. Both ending in those cliffhangers, though.

 

[Busaiku]

Looks like they're getting ready for the cancel though.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I've been bitching about the lack of Elsa (among other things) since ANAD was first announced. Marvel Zombies was my favorite tie-in.

 

[Messi]

How many books did you read today that had

Spoiler

TWO Dazzlers in them

?

Spoilers for all books released today by marvel in that bracket.

 

[Rhaknar]

A-Force was great, made me excited about the anad book. The artist was fantastic, but that seems to be a thing with most SW tie ins. Making some good progress on the tie ins now, not many left.
