Speaking of, how is Robin Rises shaping up, so far? (For those following it)
Finished reading Batman and Robin #34, so far the story arc has a faster pace than the Ra's Al Ghul arc did.

A local theatre is running a Ghibli fest right now. Got to watch a midnight showing of Howl's Moving Castle. Such a beautiful movie.
Nausicaa this Wednesday.
First time I will be watching these on the big screen.

Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away are my two favorite Ghibli films. Actually, I'm incredibly happy I was able to score the Olly Moss screen prints for those respective movies earlier this year.
God damnit, now I want to watch HMC, but it's already 11:30

I think someone on here was looking for a Barnes and Noble coupon?
Try BNFRIENDS, it is supposed to take 20% off one item. Valid till 13th Oct.
I've only every watched Ghibli movies on DVD/Blu-Ray. I hope I get to see all of them on the big screen. I will also be watching Princess Mononoke and Ponyo for the first time.
(I can't watch Grave of the Fireflies again, though.)

Never again. Those feels. I can't...
Picked this up last week.
I was planning on reading one book every few weeks until book 5 released but ended up reading them all within a single week. So good. I love how he leads people to their own demise on their own free will.
That's awesome.

Just read Green Lantern Corps #35: The Godhead arc continues to deliver. Here, we see John investigating the planet that the New Gods used the
on and running into
who is tasked with
Real awesome (if one sided) battle between the Greens and
. You see John use constructs in interesting ways.

Beautiful beautiful series. And I still can't believe that out of all networks it's Fox that will translate it to TV.

I still don't think they can do this or Sandman justice. It would require a huge budget.

they did that, Michael Allred draw it and everything
What series is that from?
Cuz whatever I want a whole series about such a thing.

I think it was Nation X miniseries, it had a bunch of different stories in it
It's been really great much like the rest of the series.

Why do you hate Batman Eternal? Why do you hate Spoiler and Catwoman?
That sounds really, really cool.
I still need to read Sandman though. Haha
Not really sure. I made a few suggestions for books and then nobody responded and then that was that. Haha
I'm still up for it if we can get it going though.
I still think Nextwave would be a good choice. Except it is OOP, so that might be an issue.
Mostly I just need to read Nextwave still. I keep putting it off. Haha
That art looks really cool.
It doesn't look like the artist, Jake Wyatt, has done much else though, which is a bummer. Just a couple Ms. Marvel issues and a few other one-offs. I'd like to see more of that guy.

Comic tastes are so varied you're going to have a problem finding a large enough number of people for any one particular title to have any real lengthy discussion.
Totally missed it on the list but am totally still getting it.
Oh and meh on Spoiler. Not a fan.

Good man. But honestly this is probably the first time I've liked the way Stephanie is being written. Before she just came off as an arrogant adrenaline junkie who only cared about herself and getting that rush of a fix. While reading her Batgirl series all I could think was: She gave up her kid so she could continue as a hand me down Batgirl?
This version is more interesting so far and hopefully she stays as Spoiler: The identity suits her better, as she created and earned it, as opposed to her stint as Bratgirl.
I feel like there are enough titles that have widespread enough appeal that we could get a solid group to read it.
Also, you're in the same time zone as me and I always see you posting at 4-5am. Do you wake up super early like me? Or do you just go to bed super late?

Maybe. But I feel more like most people have pretty firm grasps on their tastes and interests and it's harder to encourage them to explore outside their wheelhouse. And also, alot of times, you're going to have to spend $20-30 on a trade for something you may not even like.
As to timezones; I'm a night shift worker so I'm often posting from work between 12-8 am PST and then from home until 4 PM PST.
Didn't Korupts break after he took it out of the box?
Possibly. I know that I personally would be up for reading almost anything if we all decided to read it. I'd even read manga if that's what was decided upon (I've got nothing against it, I just have no desire to read it). I mean, it'd probably have to be $10 or less for me to buy something that I don't think I'd like though, so that's a factor in it too. And I also have faith that people would choose a good book to read for the book club, so I'm sure whatever it is, even if it isn't in my wheelhouse, I'd still enjoy it.
And ah, gotcha.
He left out the part where he tried to force her into a lude pose.

DOUBT!
And since you love Manga so much the choice for November should naturally be the last 3-4 chapters that lead up to and include the conclusion to Naruto.
That's every pose.

The Selina from Gotham mildly weirds me out. Her eyes are spaced really widely apart. She is like a real life anime girl.
That's the part that gets you? Not that she's like 18 and bruce is clearly like 4. What weirds me out the most about that show is the dialogue.

Bruce's tastes are many and varied.
But I'm actually really enjoying it. I absolutely love Bullock. He's just great. The hint at Montoya and
Barbara having been a thing

Explain.
It's so corny and the villain in the first episode was basically a model who is also a tornado. It was CW x 1000
Does the model spin so fast he doesn't think shirts are practical?
Read Wicked and Divine #3 and 4 this weekend, issue 3 made me think about dropping it, issue 4 changed my mind a little. After issue #1, all the urgency and intrigue dissipated. The teaming up of Laura and the reporter is the least interesting thing about the story so far and it was a decent chunk of issue #3.

Yea I picked up all waid, johns, and millar/Morison issues. Can't wait to reread johns run. His is my favorite.
Edit: and zombine don't mock the weather wizard. He's part of the rogues and badass. Just wait for his return on the show
Everyone is a model on the CW. Thea's nickname for Roy is Abercrombie no less.

Rein it in Axel.
Between this, the numerous linewide events (say what you will about Forever Evil, at least that was the first genuine linewide event DC had in a few years. Marvel had Age of Ultron then Infinity then Original Sin and then Axis and before Axis was out they'd started promoting Hickman's next event), and the way Fraction and Marvel 'couldn't agree' on Inhumanity, they're not coming across too well.
Not that DC's perfect (FAR from it), but there's no breathing room anymore between Marvel's events. And it's really off-putting. I mean Original Sin accomplished... what, exactly?
