If this thread continues to grow, how would you all feel about having a ComicsGAF IRC channel? We tried it once before but the thread was quite smaller then and maybe if we considered it the place for "off-topic" chat it would help us keep the thread a little more comics-centric. Just a thought...

I would definitely be up for this.

Well, I bought my first individual issues yesterday. Picked up #1-3 of Grayson. Somewhat embarrassing since I went by a shop that I didn't know was closed on Mondays, but the owner let me in anyway (Thanks Mammoth Games of Tulsa).

I really enjoyed the issues. #3 was especially good. The climax of the issue was predictable but well done. I'm loving the art. Dick's outfit keeps reminding me of Chris Redfield's outfit from RE5.

My only real complaint is that I wasn't expecting nearly every other page to be an advertisement. They are really distracting, though I suspect I'll learn to tune them out. Do the digital releases also have ads? If they don't I might switch to digital only, especially since I have no idea what's the best way to store these issues.

but I am taking tiny steps forward
I just finished issue 6 or 7 of Manhattan Projects. I don't really have much more to add, so I'll just reiterate that it is indeed fantastic.

Also, I'm really glad I don't do digital, or else I'd have to spend quite a few dollars on that Morrison sale.

Oh, and has anyone here read Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise? Pretty sure I'm gonna pick it up soon. It looks like some great slice of life comics. And the 2200 page collection only costs $62.50 on Amazon, which is some insane value.

No ads in digital issues, and yeah, it sucks opening up a Marvel/DC book and seeing all the ads.

No Kipp I'm not voting today

Man let me tell you something...this Morrison sale is awesome, but it feels almost like sacrilege not only buying his shit on sale, but also digitally.

Just wait 'til issue 10. Oh fuck.

As for political voting: nah, son.

Awesome, more Doom Patrol discussion is always a good thing. Also, I don't think we've spent much time talking about The Filth in this thread, and I'd definitely like to hear others' thoughts on that mind-fucking book.

I feel you. How do you even assume the Omnibus Reading Position (ORP) with a tiny digital fake paper thing?

I own the omnibus of doom patrol but still want to buy it digitally. Sure it's less wieldy but what's wrong with me?? I'm holding off for now but the CMX page taunts me

I'm currently listening to Grant Morrison's audiobook Supergods. Interesting mix of autobiography and comic history. He does tend to ramble on a bit too much so some chapters are a little tough to get through.

Isn't Marvel NOW basically (almost) new? But yeah, it surely looks like a reboot of sorts. Or another "NO MORE [Insert Hero/Group here]" event.

Hey! another tulsa GAFfer. I've been to that store a couple of times.

With floppies, you typically get a set of bags/boards to store 'em and then get comicbook boxes once you get more than a few.

something like this:

SiP is greatness. Buy it and enjoy. Katchoo is a joy to read.

Plenty of people have said it already, but if you haven't read Doom Patrol, buy Doom Patrol. And the other Morrison stuff too, but mostly Doom Patrol.

I'll try my best today! I've got some free time, so I'll see what I can do.

So, continuing my catching up on Sonic, I read Sonic Universe 7. Funny enough, it was a lot like a better version of the 5th Sonic Saga, which I just read, only with Silver as the protagonist. And it was damn good, despite Silver being a dumb character and the villain's name being freaking Enerjak. Just a really fun read. Also kind of funny, both the end of Sonic Saga 6 and this book were separately setting up arcs for Scourge, so I think I'll actually have to hold off on the next Sonic Universe for fear of "spoilers," however bad or not bad that may end up being.

Anyway, only one more Sonic book for me to read, and then I think I'll knock out the one other Mega Man I have, and then I'll finally be reading/posting about books people may actually care about!

Whoah, didn't know they were still using villains like Enerjak lol. I stopped reading sonic comics FOREVER ago but that name stuck out.

Maybe he's referring to the Marvel-exclusive part of it? He is still Marvel exclusive at the moment isn't he?

Manhattan Project and East of West are Image, so I don't think his contrat is Marvel-Exclusive.

Exclusivity just means he can't work for the other big company.

I... probably shouldn't be surprised to hear that's how deals work in this industry. I guess Comic Console Wars really are just like Gaming side.
