I like Stephanie McMahon

Haha I like when triple h pretty much date rape married her and the next week she was like, Y'know dad - I like triple h! I'm glad he did that!

Well that's an awkward top of the page

Only to find IT WAS VINCE ALL ALONG. THE CORPORATE MINISTRY. Haha. Wrestling was so good back in the day. Watched it religiously from around 94 til 06ish. Casually kept up with it until maybe 2010 or something then I just completely dropped off.

 

[Lashley]

I stopped loving wrestling after they ended that alliance with Edge and Vickie Guerrero on smackdown because he cheated on her with an assistant

i feel bad for people who haven't watched wrestling these last couple years and missed out on the greatest champion wrestling has ever had.

Don't even joke about that. An Exiles return would be the best. I'll suffer through a Cullen Bunn book if it's an Exiles book.

If you read Marvel: The Untold Story you'll learn where Lobdell came from and laugh your ass off that Waid lost to a stand-up comedian on leading the X-Men franchise.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Is the Omega Men thread going to be an actual read-a-long? Or is it just a hype thread? I'll probs be late to the party regardless.

Sure. At least until everyone gets bored and stops reading halfway through. RIP every ComicGAF book group ever.

6:45 PM EST, so roughly four hours and a bit from now.

Countdown to disappointment.

It's over as of last issue I believe.

Yup that was #6. Fits all in one trade. It's cooked.

I read the first issue. It was very, very bland. The new costume was nice, though.

Holy shit! Chocolates frosted fries are pretty good.

That sounds disgusting.

You neglect to mention the other guy in that angle was Test. It wasn't that difficult a choice.

 

[The Strokes]

Have you pared your pull list down to the essentials? I am pulling a ridiculous number of books right now because I have the time to read them at the moment but I know it's not sustainable. I could probably drop a third of the list without batting an eye if I needed to.

I just can't, force of habit, if I star buying a series I need to see them through almost all the way. The last comic I remember completely dropping was The Ultimates years ago because it was just so goddamn awful.

Spoiler

Need to stress that I'm not very picky with comics, I usually enjoy them regardless of quality

One Of Us. Can't wait to see your bookshelves.

Most of them are stocked in boxes at the moment, seeing them just crushes my heart.

What I've managed to read in the last few weeks are the Paper Girls first TPB and the second Batgirl one. I love Babs Tarr's art so much, can't wait to pick up the third one.

Anyone here been reading Hope Larson's run? Curious to see how she's doing since I really like her other stuff.

Edit: I mixed Hope's last name with the weirdo USA goalie, sorry!

 

[Sandfox]

Coates just said on twitter that the "second season" was approved which means 24 issues.

Sweet I just ordered that batgirl volume today actually. Some peeps in here said it wasnt worth continuing but that's one my partner enjoys too and I like having a book we both like. Plus I thought the first volume was pretty cool. It's not gotham academy, but it's heads above alot of the middle pack dc books, at least pre rebirth. Paper girls is getting ordered in the next week or so too. You need to get to ikea and get a bookcase brah!

 

[Farside]

I had to read the first TPB of Paper Girls twice before it took, it's great now though.

I like Hope Larson's Batgirl, but I think I might be the only one here that does.

Spoiler

It already seems an afterthought in the Rebirth universe though, as both Nightwing and BoP reference it in the past tense while it is still ongoing and Babs is in both of those books.

I stopped reading initially at issue 4. So I jumped back in after hearing everyone talk about how good it was, and of course, it gets amazing right after I stopped reading.

I finally got around to reading issue 6 yesterday, and that's what grabbed me the most so far.

That future shorthand text speak does make me cringe, though. That's obviously subjective, and not a real criticism of the quality of the book. It's just something I don't really like about it. Really takes me out of mood.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Yep

Awesome. Can't say I have any experience with the Jem book, not really my thing I don't think. However around the time Glory was coming out at Image, I was looking into her art (well at this time she was he, but I'll just stick with the present), and I picked up shadoweyes and a book called mountain girl, both written and drawn by her herself, no scripter.

Now the books were cool themselves, the art was really cool, quite different to each other, the mountain girl book was more like glory, big muscly warriors destroying each other and fighting grotesque things, Shadoweyes a bit more of a cyberpunk feel to the city it was set in etc. I point this all out though not much to do with the books themselves, but the great service I received. The Mountain girl book I ordered off her personally, I think she was making them up in really small print runs and sending them herself. She was really nice and conversational in our email exchanges, and the mountains girl book had a real nice message inside the front cover, signed in pen when it came. I didn't ask for anything like this, it was just a really nice personal touch, and it came to mind there and felt.like something that I should share. That little bit extra effort went a long way, and I really appreciated it.

Try reading the dialogue in Crossed +100. It's some horrendous type of futurespeak that really makes reading the book kind of a slog until you get the lingo down.

 

[PsychBat!]

Man, I remember once when I got sick and slept for 14 hours in a cold sweat before waking up for a few hours.

Getting sick is awful.

Haha my kid goes to bed on the weekend at 9pm, if I leave him he literally won't get up until it's 10 am. What is that. As a kid I'd get up at 6 am to watch bill and ted cartoons and the real ghostbusters. Oh and the awesome x-men cartoon This guy sleeps 13 hours. Nuts.

I used to do that myself, getting up early and watching cartoons that is. But since I've had a job that usually pays well late at night and into early morning, I get up at 1PM and it messes me up when I have to wake up at 6:45AM to take my mom to work.

Slept for about 48 hours straight once.

I can't do that. shiiiiiiit

I would sleep for 12-14 hours after doing all-nighters in college. Would wake up feeling like I had done shots of nyquil.

I once drank nyquil when I was a kid. My mom got super pissed.

Well MHA is awesome, so there's that.

I read a few comics today!

Spider-Man #17 ... ... damnit Slott. Seriously. I like the direction Slott was going, but now with Dead No More coming in, I'm just rolling my eyes again.

Spoiler

So we get a female Electro after this Francine person who got killed by Max gets her revenge on him by frying him. Yeah sure. And now the Prowler gets killed/brought back to life again? "Psst, remember, we're the good guys!"

Ugh. Wonder how stupid this will get. When's Renew your Vows again?

Ms. Marvel Pfew. Kamala is still allright.

The new ASM was basically setting up the Prowler book. The Electro thing is interesting because

It's a twist on "Hey classic Spidey villian, I'll bring back your loved ones if you work for me" thing.

I completely understand why people would have problems with this issue though.

A guy in my class believes Miles Morales was created cuz Donald Glover wanted to be a black Spider-Man. Should I be the nerdy "um actually" comic guy and correct him?

I thought it was cuz Bendis saw an episode of Community where Donald Glover had a Spidey shirt on and it gave Bendis the idea to make a new character?

Well, I guess not that Mr. Glover wanted to be Spider-Man, but based on him.

Awesome! Well other than Vol 3 of WicDiv maybe. But it rebounds after that at least.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

I always jus
t assumed it was because Bendis adopted black kids, and wanted more diversity in comics for them, and by extension other kids? I thought I saw him say something along those lines before, but I have no idea.
