Trump: "We're gonna have nice airports. Real nice. It's gonna be so nice. Ever been to a Chinese airport? So nice."

What's this? Has Sillymonkey lost faith in Trump/Reigns 2016?
At this rate it better be Reigns/Trump

Got a few pages into my Seven to Eternity read and my iPad died. I forgot to charge it. D'oh!
Freeza would probably call that a sign.
I'm sad

I don't even have words for this election anymore. I just try to pretend it's not real.
It's totally real and it's never going to end.

Rebirth says sorta. They might have gotten Manhattan'd out of existence.

I watched a sci-fi movie on Netflix the other day about a machine that causes a timeloop, so people live the same day over and over. That's exactly what this election feels like.
I would buy a JSA book.
I just did some research while waiting on Poodestrike to respond, and found out that JSA basically didn't exist during N52 except in the quasi-form with Earth 2. Man, what a sad day. I now understand why people disliked the universe-rebooting New 52. All of those decades of legacy just gone. I just read the JSA Omnibus Vol. 1 and it just feels like part of comics history with this heroes from fifty years ago mingling and helping with modern heroes, and new generations of old heroes either carrying on that legacy or trying to do their own thing. It's beautiful.
Both are hilarious.

Remember, Rebirth sorta retcons exactly what happened with the New 52. They've been absent entirely* since Flashpoint, Rebirth actually brought them back to a great extent.
*Technically present in Earth 2, though not in their classic versions. Pretty great, though.

I try, shingi. I do. But I have trouble finding things I like... That also don't require me to read a series that's already dozens of issues in.
Put a 64GB iPad Air 2 on layaway at work today. Gotta say I'm actually pretty excited. One thing I hate about reading digital on my current tablet is that I'm constantly having to delete comics to make room for new stuff since it's only 16GB. Also, while the screen on my Galaxy Tab S is AMAZING, its 8.4" screen is a little bit too small for me. I'd love to get the 12 inch iPad Pro obviously, but the 9.7" will still be a nice improvement, and $399 is a lot easier to deal with than $700+.
Oh yeah, are you talking about
? That is definitely an exciting prospect.
Oh yeah, are you talking about
Johnny Thunder I think it was showing up
If anything I would say that people are starting to open up to them more, though the number is still small.

Does Valiant have that kind of money?
Man If valiant could take the MCU or CW approach with tv and films it could work pretty damn well. I'd probably start the films off with Xo, Bloodshot, and shadow man. Harbinger would work better as a TV series.
Won't happen but I wish valiant would partner with Netflix or Amazon.

Are any of those Raina Telgemeier comics good for a relaxing read? My mind can't cope with this awful debate AND an awful episode of RAW. Gotham was the only decent thing on tonight.

Certainly not the people who watched it.
Hillary had weak attack lines but she didn't need them to win, Trump Trumped himself but CALL SEAN HANNITY AND HE"LL TELL YOU WHO WON!

To this and your other post, I think Bloodshot is more iconic and you can't fault them for wanting to build up to one of the best crossovers they've done. Would XO have been a better choice? Maybe. But Bloodshot has potential, and the same can be said for Harbinger. I also think they'd have more trouble if they were mixing two types of media together for crossovers like Harbinger Wars.
Everything I recommended is finished and several are only a dozen issues or less long O_O
Oh shush, you sleep on everything

I know, Lunchpod. But things that get recommended don't always catch my interest.

Oh, and yeah, some Chinese company gave them like $900 million to make movies with. DMG Entertainment

Hey, I liked Ivar a lot. Don't feel bad, Valiant is just a hard sell sometimes.

Finally finished Seven to Eternity. It was an okay first issue. Good enough to earn a few more issues but not good enough to earn an instant sub like Kill or Be Killed.
I'd probably like it a bit more if the colorist weren't holding back Opena's art.

Is subbing still a thing with digital? I never let them auto-charge me for anything. I prefer to go through the whole list every week and add what I want issue by issue.

That debate was delicious and the post debate coverage is even better. All this Trump slayage has to be fattening.

Honestly, I can't stand either one.
There's also Luke Cage and Green Arrow sales going on.
