Yeah I hate this too. I hate crossovers.

But... Robin War looks like it's gonna be really cool

Yep. Can't wait.

Read some Valiant. Cure for the common crossover.

don't bother, I'm booing myself out

Sounds lame to me. But that goes for 99.99999999% of all DC books ever.

Oh well it was a good run for Grayson while it lasted.

TTOB totally has a table at Cincy Comic Con this weekend but wouldn't admit to ever posting here.

Cincy CC running at the same time as Long Beach CC makes me kinda jealous because there are more artists i like at Cincy

He's that guy.

Dammit, I wish I could go

Was supposed to start working weeks ago, but the onboarding process took forever and now I have no money.

He's that guy.

Fair enough.

You going to LBCC? I won't be there but I'd like to see what sketches you end up getting.

Pre Messi Era?

 

[BKatastrophe]

You're forgetting though that there are also 'male' jobbers, I can't list them atm off the top of my head, but it feels single minded to just mention the ladies only.

Brook and Blueno.

 

[whatsinaname]

So, which comic do you think has done the best world building for you? I mean places and cities and cultures and civilisations. Maybe something with deep hooks into more real places (like Fables or Neverwhere) or something completely fantastic.

Mine would be Top 10 and The Incal.

I really love good world-building. One of the reasons I am really excited to start reading Kamandi.

Literally everything from Jodorowsky.

Brook, maybe, but Blueno wrecked Sanji in their first fight.

He was one of Birdie's rogues.

Late to this, but you should really check out We Are Robin. It's quite good. Not quite Omega Men tier, but damn good comics all the same. Easily on par with Gotham Academy.

I'm super hyped for Robin War.

so i read we are robin because VanWinkle insisted i try it.

first two issues weren't bad, but the third issue ruined what it had going for it.

Spoiler

why the fuck did they make alfred the guy behind it? this very much goes against the whole "bruce isn't needed as batman anymore"--now alfred is letting bruce be happy while putting a bunch of other kids at risk instead? it's especially disappointing as it was starting to look like they were being led by a bad guy--build up a team of people who think they're actually doing good because at first they might be, but in the end use them as a tool to do things without them knowing it, like virgil and co in young justice.

Akira's Neo-Tokyo and King City's, well, King City. Otomo and Graham (and Moebius) are guys who can create a real sense of place in comics which as evidenced by pretty much everyone else is real fucking hard

 

[whatsinaname]

Literally everything from Jodorowsky.

I've only read the three Incal books and those alone have already put him up there with Banks and Tolkein and Oda for me.

Mignolaverse for me

I have only read the first two LEs. Does the Mignolaverse go on to expand its scope and scale past the current set up? (Which seems limited to present day earth and old tales and myths).

I have Akira in my backlog but will need to track down King City.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I like the new My Books layout on the Comixology website. Guessing it's old news but it's an improvement.

Shattered Empire and Vader were good.

Spoiler

I'm guessing that was the night Little Poe was conceived.

Seriously give The White Lama a chance. It's a beautiful piece of literature. Bouncer is out next month as well, and that's his western epic.

Well between Hellboy and BPRD and everything else, I would say that it does expand quite a bit.

If manga counts though, then One Piece is my choice. Oda keeps expanding in every direction and it's insanely impressive.

We'll have to see how it plays out. It's definitely a twist I wasn't expecting, but it could turn out well.

Hey you know that's something I was confused about. I thought that was

Poe but the timeline does not match up at all. How much time takes place between 6-7? Because Oscar Isaac is not super young lol

Others have mentioned some good titles, for me it'd be Transformers MTMTE

That is really damn clever. I love what this new EU has created.

Pre Messi, Freeza and Zombeen huh.

Essentially no. Does grandfather GrandHarrier remember him?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Emma Frost is a new favorite character of mine:

Fuck Quitely tho

Brook, maybe, but Blueno wrecked Sanji in their first fight.

Sanji broke his tekkai

I don't support the comicgaf community pre formation of The Big Three

Zombeen is Chris Bosh obviously, I am LeBron and Freeza is a female Dwayne Wade

 

[Freezasaurus]

Pre-reboot ComicGAF.

Like the Star Wars EU before the Disney buyout - no longer canon.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

For like a second. I'm pretty sure that anyone below Sanji would have struggled to beat Blueno, even after training

Michigan gonna Michigan. Only the start of September and the local temperature has hit 58F. Predicted to hit the low 40s tonight. Had to turn on my heater. -_-

 

[Messi]

Well Freeza's knees are gone. Her heart is still in the comics game but the body is shutting down. She can't hold omnibuses anymore.

I am here for titles but it is known that I will move on to bigger and better things in time.
