Happy birthday! Little nightmares looks cool, good catch. Tarsier put in a good show on lbp vita, probably better than any of the main games. Definitely would like to check that out.

First look at The Forge. Wonder what Batman is hiding. Guessing it's about Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Post so we can admire them from afar.
I'm at work, no can do. I've sold a lot of my physical collection over the last few years and also take advantage of my amazing local public library system.

Some examples?
Everything classic of Marvel.
Avengers Forever
Kravens Last Hunt
The Start of Ultimate Spider-Man
Dark Phoenix Saga
Waids two first Arcs on Fantastic Four
Wheedon X-Men.
60 Hardcovers that are taking up place and that I really never going to read again.
That's why I've purged so much of my physical stuff and hardly buy any collections.

Literally all I own are some Atomic Robo trades and New Frontier.
Heh probably would have a decent size physical collection, but I either just go digital nowadays (with some exceptions), or just use my library and local bookstore more to read.
Thanks! And yeah, with people praising and talking about Little Nightmares, it definitely sounds like a horror game I would get into, plus it will be a nice shorter length game to get through to break up the longer games.XD Will focus on Prey first, which looking pretty good thankfully.

Thats not the big problem. Its the laguage. Its one of these collection things where you buy every two weeks a part and after 10 years you have a car or a millenium falcon.
Here I get a nice picture in the shelf:
Problem is the language. Its shitty translated.
At least you have impeccable taste in what you do own

I only have one shelf, and most of it isn't even comics. My collection has gotten too big for it actually.
I mostly read floppies when I was younger and I donated all the ones that I could. The only ones I have left are the Avengers United issues with the JLA/Avengers crossover (because it won't be reprinted for a very long time, if ever) and the ones I've gotten with sub boxes.

Yea, I got that through yesterday, really looking forward to it! The whole Bethesda review thing is a bit mad but at least they put out the demo, and I thought that was awesome. Finishing up Dishonored 2 tonight (which I could honestly go on about) then I'll start in over the weekend.
Pretty jealous of you guys with the library resources, that's such a good way to navigate the cost and space of comics while still getting a physical option. I try and stick to comics that I think I'll reread and see value in the years to come to combat space issues or having stuff on the shelf that I have no interest in reading again, but that attitude can make it hard to experiment and take a risk on. Library stuff would be really useful for that too, checking out volumes 1s.

What is the general consensus of James Robinson as a writer? With Cable's new series about to start I was wondering if the writer will be a good choice. I know he is also working on the new Nick Fury book but that is only on the first issue still so its not a very good example of how well Robinson writes stories at large.
Has Robinson done anything noteworthy? Any indie books or runs on a DC/Marvel book worth checking out?
Also, I finally read Secret Empire #1 last night. Thought it was pretty well structured, but I dont like how they just throw us in like a week or so after the Hydra takeover without giving us insight as to how it happened. I know issue 0 sets it up but it feels like theres a pretty large gap inbetween 0 and 1 that I personally would have liked to see fleshed out. Like why are teachers now suddenly teaching students this Hydra revised texts lol.
Saw GotG vol. 2 last night also. Great movie actually. Doesnt necessarily move the MCU forward in any way, but it was a great look into what the Guardians have been up to. Wasnt exactly happy with how they changed Quill's father, but if I hadnt read any of the books I probably wouldnt have cared. Really makes me want to go back and reread the DnA run and Bendis's. Biggest disappointment though with the Guardians movies is how they are just ignoring Nova. I mean if he isnt in Vol. 3 then I will be seriously pissed. Really hope they do Annihilation for the next film with Warlock and Nova.

Presumably Rich stays on as the Vertigo line manager underneath Doyle.

Good luck trying to buy that run though. Amazon is claiming a reprint of volume 4 is coming out in July when DC never bothered to release the reprint of volume 3.
The whole run is available on comixology.

I really have to read that one of these days. It's always the one folks point to, and only really being experienced with his modern stuff, I just can't haha not feeling that Cable preview what so ever. Maybe we can bargain; I'll read Star man, you read Sandman
Is young reader the same as young adult, or legit kids comics?
Vertigo: sad!
Vertigo is dead.

They only released the best book of 2016

Wipeout! I keep forgetting about that, that's going to be an awesome package. I just look forward to playing zone mode for hours again. Plus as much as the vita game is a cool game, those little sticks are painful to use after awhile.
Starman was one of the best comics of the 90s.

As others have said, Starman. It's one of my all time favorite series. Reread it last year and it holds up. A classic
I also liked his elseword tale The Golden Age

Of course you did. Messi is the easiest mark when it comes to his waifus.

Red Hood, multiple Mortal Kombat characters (that aren't one of the Cage family) and possibly Azrael as well.
Legitimately awful. There aren't enough waifus in the world.

Comic strips mixed in with comic books? Volume 2 with no corresponding volume 1?! I can't. I can't.

Those characters are cool cus I like that edgy shit. I wish the rest of the Batman characters minus Bats himself weren't in the game though.

How's the Zelda items book? I didn't realize it would be that huge.

I couldn't believe how big that Art and Artifacts book was when I came across it the other day. Looks pretty good.
