Stray Bullets Killers #8 is just...best book of the month, one of the best single issues of the year, shit is just excellent. These are excellent comics. I will keep preaching this book until you're all sick of it, reading it, and thanking me later.

Maybe it's just because my brain still hasn't recovered from that yet but do you mean
the one that implies they were just skinny dipping or whatever?

Nah, the transcript has them both talking in a kinda stilted, literal way. I think they're both from the Agency, off the grid, and their communication skills aren't that great.

Line in the sand Cheska.

I read the first four issues of Stray Bullets on comixology (I think they were free or something). They were pretty great, definitely going to get that über alles in the next IST.

For now, I got Alias and Ronin coming.

Ronin is an interesting mess. Not really a highlight in Millers career, but not completely shit either.
 
i use a 7 and think its fantastic for reading comics, everything pops better than on paper.

Yea, I got a nice little bonus from work coming and it's between a Nexus 9, Wii U, and an Xbox One...I could really use a tablet of my own, as I'm sick of using this busted up Macbook in my recliner. With Lollipop coming soon and the Nexus 9 dropping at the perfect time I think I'm going for it.

Batwoman #35: WAT?

FREEZA get in here and explain to me why they are fucking with my Batwoman book. This is not what I signed up for, I want Mags and Kate drama /romance with a splash of bat stuff and some supernatural spin. But this.... Again...

Wat

I vote Cheska Btw
 
I have not done anything since sitting down at my desk except watch the Age of Ultron trailer repeatedly, first the leaked one and then the official one, and read reactions to the Age of Ultron trailer.

I love it. Get to read comics before the comic shop even opens most of the time. Plus, some Image titles are cheaper on Comixology. Love not having to organize floppies!


About what? Haha. Are we rating me?

I do a combination of both. The sales on Comixology are too good to pass up.

And lol...I swear that was a half thought. Messi never told us what the line in the sand is between.

Nice! I just read Ronin and really enjoyed it. I'm glad you picked it up!

What didn't you like about it?
I thought it was up there with Martha Washington and Dark Knight Returns (though not quite better than either of those). In my opinion, the art was fantastic and the story was engrossing. The only thing I didn't like was the last page, which I didn't think was a great way to cap off a really good story.

yo Frye where is your avatar from?

It's from the David Mazzucchelli/Paul Karasik adaptation of City of Glass

hmm maybe. In hindsight I should've realized something was up when Zero literally goes "my lady" in the transcript

Also kind of related: I went back to issue 2 (the one in Northern Ireland) because of Siobhan's name, and the daughter of the guy he's supposed to kill is name is Kit, which is totally an Ennis Hellblazer nod

e: also they kill some dang chickens in that one too

LCS. Only $7 there so I imagine you can find cheaper somewhere else. I need to remember the brand and check online for them.

I'd really like to know where to get one of these frames as well. I still need to put my signed Next Men #21 on the wall.

Edit: Found the frame!
Second Edit: All the reviews say it breaks super easily (and usually arrives already broken). Hmm.

Edit - I have 6 of them and they are all fine.

Edit - whoops, didn't edit, double posted, sorry.

My shop didn't get any Catwoman issues today... :(

I bought a bunch of Zero single issues instead to help ease the pain... just need #1 and #4.

Yeah, I was pretty relieved when I finished the last page. Relieved because it was over and I didn't have to read anymore. And they totally copied the
Groot scene from Guardians by having Clayface stretch around everyone to protect them
. I need Kate x Maggie drama, not vampires and space hijinx.

Good man. Issue 4 is incredible--definitely one of my favorite extended fight sequences in a book.

Seriously though. Is someone at dc fucking with me? Did Nocenti ghost write Batwoman 35? It's the only explanation

Hahaha, shitty issue with nonsensical dialogue and plot. Even the vampire drama was better than this.
She-Hulk was good until I got to the last page and I realized it was cancelled

good job, Kipp
It really was a stellar issue. Loved the legality of if, felt so much more legit because of Soule's background.

Am I alone in really enjoying the vampire stuff? I assume we won't hear about that again though.

Grayson #3 was just perfect. What a complete comic book. Had everything. My heart was beating quite fast in those last 2-3 pages. If you are not reading this series jump in its quite brilliant. Oh and the art was on point this month.

Dat title page.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
I'm like 700 posts behind on this thread just from not being on GAF today, but you are in for a good book! Prohet 39-43 are amazing. 44 and 45 were a letdown to me, but I think they were setting up for Strikefile and Earth War.

Sweet, good to hear. I'm excited. It's been too long, it'll be a full year between volumes. It's like the one Image book that decided even DC's schedule was too prompt.
 
Watched movie 3 in the Ghibli festival, Castle in the Sky. It is so beautiful and I love the music too. Kiki's Delivery Service is showing next Wednesday.


I'm new to comics. The only other Ellis stuff I've read is the Extremis arc of Iron Man.

Planetary
Transmetropolitan
Global Frequency
The Authority

are all quite brilliant. You should read them if you have a chance.
 
Korupt here for another edition of arts and crafts comic edition. This time, go to your local grocery and buy a few of those cute $1 baby pumpkins. Then come home and open your copy of Long Halloween and draw the face with a permanent marker and you have little comic inspired Halloween decorations.

Wow, deadpool this week was fantastic. I'll be genuinely surprised if anyone handles their character's inversion as well and Posehn and Duggan.
 
Ronin is interesting. Its a a guy who free reign to do anything he wanted, raw as shit, so he found a way to marry his two biggest loves, Lone Wolf and Cub and Moebius euro sci-fi comics. I wouldn't put it in my favorites of his work, or my least favorites, but I do find myself coming back to more often than either, funny enough. And you wouldn't got the more polished comics like DKR if he didn't work out his craftsmanship here, especially in his editing style.

I've never read it, and notice that the deluxe hardcover just came out. Worth adding to a future IST order?

Just read issues two and three of Multiversity. Issue 2 was more my style, but both were good. Already anticipating the feast Morrison and Quitely gonna give us next issue.

Guess I'll continue my quest to get back into the comics swing of it all with Deadly Class and Sex Criminals. Hope they're still good. (._. )

I mean seriously, the fact that the story seems to be ramping way up added to the fact next issue is PAX GODDAMN AMERICANA just brought my expectations so far up it's crazy.

e: Seriously? Heroes being dicks is your jam? I liked AXIS better when it was THE LAST THREE YEARS OF DC COMICS. BOOM. SHOTS FIRED.

Apparently Midtown is sending me the International version of the Harley Rub & Smell issue.

I don't even know what that entails.

Maybe I'll get the USA edition of the Bombshells cover.
