Inhumans aren’t the typical A-list characters that people get pumped about, but I was stoked to finally complete this trifecta in my personal collection. They’re definitely on the well-loved side but I’m enjoying having them.
I think it might be kind of cool to follow a long term story, centered around James Gordon. He could solve crimes, which span several issues. The kind of crimes which might still involve murder, but it’s a bit below Batman’s “pay grade” as it were.
“The stories told in Japanese manga and anime are incredibly powerful. I often find myself wondering, ‘What is missing in Western comics, and why aren’t they able to achieve the same flavor?’ Also, I think manga has an ‘advantage’ over American comics, which are mostly about superheroes, and that’s where the majority of sales and readers are concentrated.“
Some of you know I was offline for a bit this week for surgery. What you didn’t know (and what I didn’t know until about 2 hours ago) is that the surgery has uncovered cancer.
I actually remembered this week! But I’m rushing at work and posting this during my morning constitutional so I’m gonna have to do this one quick-style! And I haven’t picked up in a while my shop must be so mad lol. Let’s see..
Everything I was reading before has either concluded or is delayed, so I figured I'd pick up some collected volumes while I wait for new things to come out. I grabbed:
Oh hey, I'm up late so I spotted the blog post almost right when it went out. (BTW there's a Mastodon account that posts these if you want to follow it, it's @comiclist@mastodon.social.)
Today's Marvel Day and my local comic book store promised to get me my free comic last Saturday. He then tried to scam me into buying overpriced coffee and take part in a manga themed event in order to get my free Dr. Doom copy. I said that I will come next Saturday (which is today). He has planned another event but today and didn't even have the Dr. Doom comic even though he is listed on the official stores who are partaking in this event. Last year's Marvel Day he didn't want to give my friend a 2nd copy of the free X-Men comic and basically told me to piss off. I ordered manga there and my new Berserk manga that should be in a (at least) good condition came completely creased on each sides and some pages had small but recognizable tears you can call me everything you want but a new book should be at least 98% perfect (small imperfections are ok). He also didn't want to take it back and me me sign so much shit. I ordered a lot of comics (omnibusses) with Amazon and never had the same problem. I'm sorry to say that I'm no industry plant nor a Bezos fanboy (he can eat shit as far as I can care) but I never experienced the same with Amazon. I also order from comic book shops that are more than 150km away from me and they also deliver my comics in good condition. So for everyone who is kinda ashamed to buy from Amazon...just do it some local comic book shops don't deserve our good will.
I just binged millarworld, ngl I hated most of it, superior, starlight and huck were the main standout exceptions. I did like big game, felt like it retroactively made his previous books better and had a good ending. Not the biggest fan of the new huck (huck gets cucked) and nemesis books that have come after.
I have been wanting to pick up the colored Dark Horse books for a while now. Sadly the shop did not have volume 1, and volume 4 comes out in a month. Very happy to have at least these two for now.
I'm looking for a piece of art I desperately need as a reference. I could have sworn I had it downloaded, but I can't find it anywhere. The art in question is two astronauts in full space suits in an otherwise wild west scene. They've just concluded a high noon duel. The angle is such that the loser of the duel is crumpled on the ground in the foreground, and the winner is standing in the background. The winner is wearing a brown bandolier, and their gun is still smoking. The loser of the duel has red smoke pouring up out of his now shattered visor. I remember there being a big red word across the top, like a comic book cover or something. Any help here would hugely appreciated. If there's another community for this kind of thing please direct me to it. Thank you all!
I was gifted this short comic and decided to have a look. This is an intro comic which is cover priced at $1.99, being both incredibly simple and short.
I'm keep noticing Saga covers at my local comic book store. I hadn't heard of it before, but people seem to like it. Does anyone here recommend it? And also, is it the kind of universe that you have to get way into, or do you think I will be able to pick up the first collection enjoy that by itself?
The "Hush 2" story arc is now going to finish next year. Of course, ye olde Gabe Newel / Miyamoto adage applies: "Late is just for a little while, suck is forever."
