It's not Marvel, but Lil' Gotham is amazing for all ages.

Animu was getting old. Now it's pony time.
borderline, i think it's a bit small. People read comics on phones though and that's totally legal.
Are you fucking crazy. It's clearly Rainbow Dash

Might be kinda small. I have an iPad mini and it's fine but there are some things I have to zoom in on.
If I read Batman Endgame, will it spoil anything about the late portions of Batman Eternal (I heard it takes place after Eternal)? I still haven't read volume 3 of Eternal, and I've just been kind of reluctant to buy since it's a trade paperback over $20. I mean, I'll obviously have to buy it and finish the story at some point, but still.

Um... I don't think so? At least, I can't recall any Eternal spoilers. Other than that he survives, I guess, but that's not really a spoiler.
I have an 8.4" tablet, and it works well enough, but I often wish it was a little bigger.
Oh, that's good. I was wondering because I remember getting the first issue of Endgame for Batman Day, and on the first or second page it said "Endgame Part One (The events of this story take place after Batman Eternal)" so I stopped reading just in case.

If you can find a used/cheap Surface Pro, I would give that all of your money. I just bought a Surface Pro 4 to use largely as a comic reader, and holy wow. A+ decision. It was an easy move for me to go 99% digital.
E: Color looks weird due to the lighting, but it's the right color in person.

I'd always recommend to go as big as comfortably possible, but anything works.
TY cbr forums are not for me.

My main problem with them is that they are too bloated with sub forums. That place just isn't busy enough for 30 sub forums.
This is the problem, I asked one question. Got it answered and was like...nah...this doesn't work well.
Haha

Anyone else read Drax #1. Art is fitting for the book. Some panels are hilariously violent. Story is paper thin but serviceable. The book feels like it only exists because the other guardians have books. But it's not terrible it's just ...there. Can't pick out anything CM Punk wrote which I suppose is good. I was expecting his writing to be bad. Then again Bunn is likely doing most of the heavy lifting.

hmm nothing specific but
ist has a good sale 45 off marvel/dc/image/dark horse with some other steep discounts. just make sure to check those sliding banners on the top
amazon theres a 30% off any single book with a discount code holiday30 i think
barnes and noble has a buy 2 get 1 free for dc and marvel books. theres a 30 percent off code somewhere too i think.
cheapgraphicnovels.com has a good sale going on right now too.
Damn Marvel.
Was considering subbing to Marvel Unlimited for a year due to their 20% off discount.
... Of course this past month I finally used a gift code to get a month (that I bought for a dollar late last year), so because I'm an active member I can't use the 20% off unless I make a new account... I've always found it anti-consumer when companies don't allow discounted subscription benefits to their current subscribers.

Carnage #1 should have read #1 before buying number two. Hated it. I suppose I am not surprised. Never really liked Carnage. Found this boring as hell. First book of ANAD that is a complete miss for me. Dropping it.
Edit: Read #2, nah I'm good. This comic isn't for me. I see what they were going for in #2 but it doesn't work.
On the other end
Venom Space Knight #1 loved the visuals and the story was somewhat engaging. Loved how all the characters looked and would love to see more of them. Haven't really read much of Venom that doesn't cast him as a mindless beast. This was good fun.

Nice. I look forward to hearing your impressions.

So can anyone summarize, in short, what happened to Venom in GotG? In VSK he says the symbiote was "purified" on its home planet. Somehow that makes him look less like a secret agent and more like a space warrior
Curious about this also as I haven't read that far in GOTG.
All New Wolverine #2 love this book so far. Loving Laura as Wolverine and getting to see her use more of her skills this issue was great. Story is coming together nicely. This issue fleshed it out much better than the first issue which I thought was great but was very flashy to pull people in.
The clone kid in her apartment giving her shit about how it looks was hilarious.

12" Batgirl statue made Diamond's list for next week. Finally.
We will see if it actually ships.
Still waiting on dcbs to ship Batwoman bombshell. Get the feeling they will eventually cancel it. My store here got one. In Ireland for fuck sake.
amazon has them for the same price i paid but since i'm in statue limbo i don't want to order just to definitely return it if i ever get the dcbs one.

Ever watched the bluray of Lawrence of Arabia? Or the Criterion Godzilla release? That's what modern tech can do to make old movies or shows just pop out and be more expressive with their presentation.

oh man, Lawrence of Arabia looked amazeballs on BD.
It was still boring, but it looked great.
I'm glad someone else read it. It was really great.

Hey I bought that godzilla Blu-ray, guess I'll watch it soon.

I generally only buy stuff I really like. If I just want to watch a movie that I haven't seen before, I'll usually just rent that shit On Demand.

Finished Alias and it was okay. The Purple Man arc was kind of interesting but felt like it was missing something, I dunno. Kinda disappointed if I'm being completely honest.
Freezasaurus
Member
I know that feel.
TV show was much better in regards to the character. David Tennant was amazing.
I shouldn't have bought the omnibus. ~$30 or dot during that CMX sale was probably the the perfect price for it.

Same here, but I never saw this version. I hear it's well done.

The original Japanese movie really holds up and that last 30 mins. is fantastic for its time.
It's an all in all good drama/disaster movie.
Well duh it has fancy special effects so why wouldn't it :V
What about OG Tron doe.
Pfft you kids these days ain't got no appreciation for the classics.
Then again I'm posting in this thread, it used to have class *waves his cane around*

Yeah I can see the show being better. I'll watch it eventually.
I was thinking about buying the omni a while ago but never bit the bullet. Guess I made the right choice in hindsight. I don't think it's bad or anything but it was kind of whatever after a bit. I'm glad I read it but I don't think I would recommend it to people.
