Yay. New Thors day. No early updates for Comixology this week though.

Edit: Speak of the devil and it shall appear.

What's the difference between Rai and Bloodshot? Why do they have a Japanese flag motif?

They are different "people"; they also don't coexist in the same time, as Rai takes place in 4000 AD. However, there is a connection between the two, but it's best you read about it. It's kinda cool.

Those aren't in the Groupees: Valiant Comics Bundle #1, so can you give me a description (with images) of who they are?

Ivar is the Eternal Warrior's and Armstrong's brother. His shtick is that he's been walking through time "forever". BK is right, it's my #1 ongoing. It's fun, charming, and smart, all rolled into a beautiful package. There's no required reading to jump into that one.

Its a hideo kojima game
Expect the story to go ridiculous directions.

I know this, but I'm not sure that's what he meant

Still no shipping notification for Metal Gear... This means no start before Friday

So, FINALLY got around to watching Mad Max (twice in as many days!) and loved it to pieces. Fantastic movie. The bizarre wasteland culture just feels so well realized, the special lingo (shiny and chrome!) especially. I sort of get the complaints regarding Max being a sidekick, but I think they're misplaced; he's an important character as well, just less... vocal than Furiosa. I'd call him a Deuteragonist or Supporting Protagonist. Probably the latter, since Furiosa arguably has more of a role in dictating the direction of the plot, and Max fits the "conventional protagonist" part of the bill nicely.

It's the best action movie of the past decade at least IMO.
The thing about Max is that throughout the movie he never gives his name, he only ever gives it at the end, this is to signify that he's accepted who is.
Furthermore, Furiosa and the Mothers couldn't have survived without him; Furiosa needed Max, but Max needed Furiosa as well.

Would anyone happen to know who drew this?

Finished this today:

Amazing. Probably my favorite Batman graphic novel thus far.

Yup, I think this is the first Batman TPB I read,, its awesome.

Quality over quantity this week. Just Imperium #8 and X-O #40 for me.

So the new Vision book is a horror book right?

God yes.

Thanks again.

 

[TetraxShards]

Got the Groupees Valiant Bundle. Between this and the Humble from awhile back, I think I'm set for Valiant for awhile.

 

[Weiss]

It looks like a Goosebumps cover.

This covering is bothering the shit out of me.

That is a Thorrible pun.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Omega Men #4

Definitely a slower paced issue. Most of the time is spent doing backstory work for the setting, Rayner, and the Princess. I'm a smidge disappointed that they laid everything out so... cleanly. Very much runs against the "show, don't tell" thing the book's been doing thus far, though it manages to keep things interesting nevertheless. Also sets up a very intriguing mystery. Art was okay, but I'm gonna be glad to see the regular guy back.

Working alone is horrible . I feel very isolated.

That's funny. I like the days when I'm alone in the office, though I can understand why you'd feel that way if you were alone all the time.

Yep, all the time. It's very bad.

I know how that is. Awful

 

[Owzers]

you are never really alone when you have comics-gaf in your heart.


Hmmmmm now that i think about it that's probably not true. Sorry!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

jesus did you guys see the art on 8house #3????

 

[E the Shaggy]

I looked at the DC sales numbers for July.

Holy crap, they gotta be worried about that. It's way too soon to come back with yet another reboot, so more variant cover months I guess?

Do you deal with customers at all or are you literally by yourself the whole time?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Ha ha, I got an email from my comic guy about the Death Vigil litho I asked for.

Good news. The lithograph has shown up on my invoice for next week's shipment. So, knowing Diamond, they still won't actually send it, but they'll be billing me for it, so that's progress!

 

[Messi]

I work in a shop with very little business. After 6pm until 10pm I am likely to see 15 people. I don't work with other staff and my boss monitors camera's from home. I feel like a rabbit trapped in a cage

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Well I couldn't see them turning it into a series, but as a one-shot Hank Johnson, Agent of HYDRA was pretty darn swell. I mean, sexual harassment from Madame Hydra, little league games with children of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents versus children of HYDRA agents, M.O.D.O.K. singing "Amazing Grace" at a funeral, the little gags here and there, the extraordinary beingthe mundane; all great stuff.

Yuck, that certainly does sound pretty damn awful.

 

[Def Jukie]

I've really been enjoying Remender's current books on Image and am ordering some stuff off IST. What's the consensus on the Crawl Space omnibus? Worth checking out?

 

[BrightLightLava]

If you've been sleeping on Groot, you need to stop doing that, because it is fantastic. There's a page about 2/3rds of the way through that I thought was the best, but then the last page was even better.

So good, great art. I want Loveness to write way more books.

Starting this now. Thank you & Cheska.

It's always funny to me where people draw lines when it comes to suspension of disbelief. I understand why that might bug you, but it's totally worth it for what comes next.

Hahaha

I just got fired

What did you do on cam?

Sorry to hear that Messi. Extra shitty of them to do it right after going back from leave.

Messi :x

Good luck in your search for a new job!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Hopefully you can get back on your feet soon, Messi.
