Some idiot who had borrowed Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck from the library before me had ripped out a couple of pages. I pointed that out to the librarian today, because some libraries mark damaged copies.

Turns out, they actually withdraw damaged copies. They gave it to me to keep.

For the budding comics superstars dreaming of making it big, Newegg is having a Black Friday sale on SmithMicro's Manga Studio 4EX software. It's marked down to $15.00 with a $15 mail-in offer, so with free shipping it's completely free.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832269015

4EX isn't the latest version; in fact it's fairly old and there's a 5EX released last year (that's close to $100). But, it's free and full of updated features and it's free. Did I mention that it's free?

And despite the title, you don't have to draw manga with it. :O

Oh awesome! Thanks for posting this! They definitely should word that "$15 rebate available through 12/1/14" or whatever thing a bit better though. At first I was like "crap, no way that's going to arrive in time to redeem it", but they meant the offer's only up till then.
 
Thank you senpai!

Once again, this is directed more toward Korrupt than anyone else, but the Mezco limited edition The Dark Knight Returns Batman is up for pre-order. It's going to sell out today I'm assuming. After shipping it was about $80.

I keep clicking on it but I can't. Need to quit buying me shit so I can buy my family shit so we can exchange said shit on Christmas and wish we agreed not to exchange gifts because the shit we get is neither anything we need or want. I don't need an electric wine opener, we rarely drink wine.

Yeah but this is limited edition!

Limited Edition > Family. Every time.

Am I a bad person? Yes.

Did you rip out those pages?

Dark Horse has a better sale than Comixology.

I'm going to buy several dark horse books monday with the extra 10% off code that went out in their emails. We're talking some Buffy Season 10, maybe Angel Season whatever, maybe Serenity Leaves on the Wind...i dunno maybe nothing. Probably buffy...season 8 and 9 weren't that good though but i'll pretend they are DC books and just expect them to be bad and be surprised otherwise.

Manga studio is definitely the best drawing program I've used. I've been keeping an eye out for ex 5 but have yet to see any sale on it

Went out last night and picked up a few books. Some are ones that I'm filling gaps in my library

Electra by Blackman and Del Mundo
Batwoman vol 2 by JH Williams and Blackman
daredevil vol 2 (not the Marvel Now reboot) by Waid and Rivera
ultimate comics spiderman vol 3 by Bendis and Lafuente
miracle man book one by Moore and Alan Davis

All for $40 at Books a million. They have some highly discounted bargain books and were running a buy 2 get 1 free promo as well. They also had a huge discount on miracleman. Half off so if you've never read miracleman, I highly suggest getting it now.

Also. Star wars trailer looked AWESOME. wooooooo

I liked Volume 1 a lot. I think the consensus was it read better in trade.

I just bought vol 2, and vol 2 of Zero. Anyone recommending anything out of Lazarus, Pretty Deadly, Sheltered, The Fuse or Umbral? Don't recall much ComicGAF hype about them.
Lazarus is one of my favorite ongoings. The amount of attention and care put in the universe is practically unparalleled, let alone the meticulously crafted plot.
 
Gonna be honest, little disappointed by Comixology's Black Friday sales. I was expecting something crazier than the Image sale and return of the Batman sale.

Yeah. Usual Image stuff. I'm already buying most that stuff when it comes out, and the others, I know I'm not interested in.
 
Queen and Country continues to be amazing. Halfway through the last arc right now. Unfortunately, I didn't read the novel Jedyeye recommended before starting the last arc. I thought that was going to be in volume 4 but it looks like the main story ends in volume 3.

Edit: Finished reading it. Great last arc with beautiful art. (Samnee).

I would have liked a little more closure in the comic itself, without having a need to read the novel. But the series is still a great read. Will move onto the declassified issues next.

What should I read next GAF. Criminal or Hickman FF?

I'd read Hickman FF as a change of pace from Queen and Country. You'll probably like Criminal too.....hey, why not read them at the same time?

Yeah, I think I will read FF next. I might read FF omnibus 1, then Criminal and then get back to FF.

I also started reading DC Archives Sandman v1 today, in anticipation of a stack of Sandman Mystery Theatre TPBs that are arriving next week. Good fun, and am definitely enjoying it more than the DC archives Doom Patrol I read a few weeks ago.

Gotham by Midnight #1
Slow issue, but I feel bad for not knowing Templesmith is the artist on this book! I love his work, hopefully 2nd issue picks up.
If anyone wants more Templesmith goodness check out Fell by Warren Ellis and Wormwood Gentleman Corpse (need to re-read that someday)

Edward Scissorhands #2
I like how it focused on Eli and from the way he/she keeps putting things inside of its belly, it seems to just want to behave like a human, eat, touch, etc. Poor little guy

Superior Foes #17
This is the best part of the issue, putting aside Boomerang's usual King of BS stuff that made no sense to me :V

Transformers MTMTE #35
Fantastic issue
this alt. past that Brainstorm's created is terrifying, wouldn't surprise me if Orion Pax became a member of he Senate/Council/Functionists.

So I'd like to hear what people think of a couple series I'm curious about:

Concrete - seen it around for ages but never read anything
Ghost - like the character design, curious if the omnibuses are worth it
Mind MGMT - heard some acclaim but no real chatter here.
Finder- again I've seen it around for ages but no little of it
 

B-Dubs

No Scrubs
Oh my god, there is now a Shocker-Mobile?

This is the perfect opporturnity to let the Spider-Mobile re-appear. Please tell me that they take the opporturnity!

Pete would just drive it into the river again. Besides, I doubt they can outdo him doing donuts on the side of the Bugle while JJJ has an aneurysm.
 
Finished Bendis daredevil.

"oh wow, can't let this end on a high note. here, let us piss into his throat some more. Also, daydream how grotesquely depressing matt's imagination is, because.'

Ah well, at least he left it with an interesting setup. Onwards brudammit.
 
Wait, what? Brubs actually has foggy and matt debating if he should lie under oath? Two lawyers with decades of experience? What. the. fuck.

Is the lie Daredevil related? Then I can at least understand why he lets them debatting (and support the idea that they should lie about Matts secret identity).


Finished the God-Butcher part of Aarons Thor God of Thunder OHC. Damn, this stuff is so great. The art is beautiful and fits amazingly and the whole Arc about Groon is top. Really love this stuff.

And yet, I am kind of sad that I will have soon wait for a long time to read the last part of Aarons Male Thor Run. :/

Matt Murdock is the least ethical lawyer ever written. It is part of his character.

Foggy's main problem is that he's loyal to Matt to a fault

I'm fine with matt not being ethical. I expect that. Would make no sense whatsoever if he was.

It is absolutely absurd that foggy would even be opposed to him lying under oath. Like, ethics like that don't survive even the first year outside law school. Fuck, that was kicked outta me well before i finished law school.

And yet.. OMG MATT, IF YOU DO THIS, WHERE DO YOU CROSS THE LINEEEE?

ffs.

This on top of a guy as experienced as Urich immediately saying where the night nurse was, when he would know perfectly well that he could stall for time by simply demanding to speak with an attorney before cooperating.
