I kinda expected the ending actually. I thought it was sweet.

After having it sit around for a couple months I've finally started Strangers in Paradise. About a third of the way through the first omnibus volume and I really didn't want to stop to go to bed last night. My only complaint is that reading paperback books that thick is probably worse than reading a similar thickness OHC.

That's because you're not using the official ComicGAF omnibus reading position.

Dude. Don't compare Big Two to Valiant. You know Team Valorous will always win that fight.

Only thing more unreadable than a 1200 pg omni is paperback compendium. SiP is really great. Glad you are liking it. It has been a long time since I've read it so I can't say much more about it.
I'll have to get back to you on this. I don't have my copies of ultimates handy for comparisons but I'll give it a shot later. Is that cool?
Fair warning: it may take a while. I've been super busy with stuff but I'll definitely try to give you a good explanation on why I think Ultimates has such effective paneling and composition.

I wonder how the Alias tv show will deal with the Captain America arc. It wouldn't really work in the MCU.
my ipad air 2 is discolored on the left side edge of the aluminum where the smart cover attaches on, like it got heated. I don't know how it happened and it bugs me. I blame Messi. I was playing hearthstone outside one day and it got a heat warning, maybe it got hot enough to fade the aluminum in spots....
Or maybe Messi.
I think I should paint it.

It's totally my fault. I will now leave this community. I am sorry.

As opposed to the previous Alias TV show?
More accountable than the person I'm voting for president.
Looks like they're going all David Mack with the opening credits for Jessica Jones.
Metal Gear: The real Phantom Pain is that they gave me this tiny dog and no way to pet it...or play fetch with it by throwing magazines...or teach him how to roll over by doing the Martin Riggs roll across Mother Base.

Deadly Class continues it's god-tier streak... feels good.
I'll probably cave and vote for Hillary :/
Hnnng. Just got to the Morrison/Lloyd issues of Hellblazer. David Lloyd's art (both his pencils and his coloring) is just stunning.
Has he done anything worth reading besides Hellblazer and V for Vendetta?
Speaking of V for Vendetta, it's one of the first comics I ever bought and I still haven't read it... AND the movie is one of my all-time favorites. Lol.

Does the "new" Ms Marvel #1 (out November I think) have the same artist?
Yes, it will have Adrian Alphona (as well as Takeshi Miyazawa) from the original series.
Yes and it will be a dollar more expensive. 3.99 instead of 2.99. #1 will be 4.99 but have more pages. Regular issues won't.
All new more expensive marvel.

I dread the future of the $40 cover price 128 page TPB.

Grant Morrison's New X-Men...I like it, but I'm not really digging the art. At least not Quietly's. I like Van Sciver. I'm also not a fan of some of the characterizations. Mostly Logan. He's like the gross, scummy drunk dude you see at every bar, only he meditates.
It's weird, is what I'm saying. Very weird.
I wish it was drawn by Joe Mad.
Need those girly shenanigans in your government?

I'm kinda trying to find data on how much 2000ad sells but having little success. Any ideas?
I mean, we all know that manga sells a truckload more than comix. Wanna see if the jump/ad "lets shove a buncha ips in the same book weekly" success ain't limited just to japan.

Don't forget upping the price to $6.99 for 22ish content page. I mean, they'll need to make up for the lower sales somehow, right?
Buying a separate digital copy? Why not buy digital and buy the lovely OHCs they are putting out.

2000AD has no adverts, so it's not required to reveal circulation. Last count was around 30K, IIRC, but that was over 10 years ago when it was still in the DC Thompson family. Considering it was cheaper for Rebellion to buy the franchise outright than it was to get a Dredd license for a game, I imagine it's not making vast amounts of money.

Does not compute.
After Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers run I've been interested in more Dr. Strange.

I'm not reading to much of the Secret Wars books but it seems odd that in the last 2 issues of Renew Your Vows they established
Overall I enjoyed it, even if it was a bit throwaway and felt a bit fan-servicey putting Peter and M.J back together.
that the Parkers and the rest of the inhabitants seem to have no concept of God-King Doom. Especially based on how high profile both him and the Thors are in the other domains I've seen.

If I had to guess I'd say that means buying the issue in print and digital at $2.99 each. Now that's going to be $3.99 for both.
