We were talking about some of you guys. I'm not going to say whom or what.
OK small teaser; It may have included contemplating what Messi sounds like.
Also we talked about comic books. Turns out we happen to like them.

I chuckled.
I read volume one for both Zero and Manhattan Project. Zero was okay but Manhattan Project was amazing. Based Hickman, I don't know how he does it. Think I'm going to skip on Zero and just continue with the Manhattan insanity.
I realised reading Zero I don't care for Trad Moores art.

LOL! Now THAT got me
Aww, I haven't played Destiny with you guys in a while...
My Sunday has been spent reading the first trade of Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and now I understand the hype.
I think it included someone on a youtube channel.
Also,
I don't understand what is going on here

Wait is Thi issue Morrison firing shots at jupiters legacy?? if only quietly drew it
But Tradd Moores issue of Zero is amazing
Each to their own. I liked the story in spite of his art.
Also,
Lol I'd watch that. Man of Steel 2 villain please.

The one time we almost played I had to go, and I felt awful because I didn't want you to think I was bailing intentionally.
GH, Korrupt, and I never lose. It's amazing.

Is no one gonna dare answer to Kipp? It's Ben Oliver on pencils. Also did the first few issues of Winnick's Batwing back in the launch of the New 52. Man that was something else.
Anyways the guy is ACE. ACE, I says.

I suddenly feel terrible for not buying Superior Foes beyond that one issue.

The fact I can sing Mr. Grinch with my terrible voice while playing with you guys and not feel embarrassed is something. Yeah, we don't lose.

I adore Superior Foes...the Superior Superior, if you will....but as the series draws to a close I am glad it's going out strong with the story Spencer wanted to tell having been told. It's been a lot of fun. Few series hit all the notes like that one does.
It also carved out a place in my heart for Mach V, which is its own special achievement.

So you're saying you haven't read Superior Foes? You should fix that

I didn't like his run of Secret Avengers, but Superior Foes is some good stuff.

Man, you guys still play videogames!?! I used to play them, but I gave it all up for opium comic books.
I don't play them nearly as much, but I'll definitely have to set comics to the side come Friday, when Bayonetta 2 comes out.

Actually, I'm just having one of those moments where I'm not/never in the mood for playing anything.

Thanks! Hopefully he gets more work. That art is pretty stunning. I can't tell if it's all his pencils or if the inker/colorist has a significant amount to do with it, but whatever it is, the overall effort looks fantastic.
Exact same here. Haha
I buy games but I find myself not playing them other than FIFA and NBA 2K. I also collect Blurays but I don't watch most of those for some reason. Comics essentially decimated my other hobbies.

Line in the sand: Comic books or opium?
Can't have one without the other, really. That is an unfair line in the sand.

...is "comic books" not the street name for opium?

Oops, did I say opium? I meant Comic Book Reading Enhancement Supplement: Making every page come to life!
It may or may not contain opium
It may or may not contain opium
amongst other drugs
Same here.
As I always say, you can't read comic books without comic books.
I just finished reading Rocket Racoon #2. Holy fucking shit Skottie Young. He must have been on some of those comic books when drawing this. Just a visual treat top to bottom. The Splash pages in particular were stellar. The writing is good to great in spots and he seems to have Rocket down pretty well. Interested to see how the book fairs without Skottie art for those one or two issues.
Comics replacing video games? Ahhhh no. No. Just slipped Alien Isolation into my ps4 from gamefly, finished Mordor this morning. Going to play a whole 15 min of Aliens until broncos/49ers comes back on. And i read an issue of Avengers Arena from MU on my tablet during the game. Gotta work things in.
This...though I have finally been playing Fallout New Vegas lately. I'll probably pick up Shadow of Mordor and Assassin's Creed sometime before Christmas.
Plus I just tried the Bloodborne beta.
I thought people were joking when they said it's pretty much Nightmare Creatures...but it really is Nightmare Creatures.

Video games will always be my primary hobby, I think. But comics are just as important to me.
Holy crap, I completely forgot that Nightmare Creatures ever existed.

you sure you don't have anything else you wanna do first
like nothing at all
hey how about that Multiversity with the Hills universe
oops there were more pages from the preview, the world where Superman and Batman actually won, so their superhero kids don't care about anything. Also, Alexis Luthor is totally teen Emma Frost from New X-Men
I feel like I missed something.
What the hell is this.

You should check out Multiversity. It's been awesome so far.
Its from Multiversity.

Multiversity The Just #1
Keep in mind, Multiversity so far has just been a bunch of #1's. This is technically the third issue, though they seem to be loosely connected. Knowing Morrison, though, the opposite is probably true.

THE GOD OF THE COMIC BOOK GAME
You're not ready for this one son.
So I finally got off my lazy ass to read comics (read: being more lazy) and started with a (re)read of Bruce Wayne: Fugitive.
I first read this ages ago and forgot most of it, but holy hell I love this. Brubaker/Rucka at top form, and just look at these love letters Brubaker did to The Dark Knight Returns:
and Year One:
Sean Phillips as a guest artist blowin' me away in the first, Scott McDaniel in the second. Hot DAMN.
