IIRC the writers go to Lucasfilm quite regularly and discuss ideas with the story group. It doesn't sound too strict though.

COMICS! |OT| November 2015. The much-anticipated sequel to October's OT.

I picked up the We can Never Go Home hardcover for Local Comic Shop Day this morning and read it all in one sitting, what a fucking rad comic. I really wish I would have grabbed Space Riders as well now.
Sadly I didn't get the Bitch Planet hc, but there were major shenanigans from the shop with that. They went from saying they were getting five copies, to posting a picture showing two, to only "having" one when we got there. Even though we got there when they opened, they wouldn't sell it to me and we're doing a raffle for it instead.
Anyway, We Can Never Go Home was worth the trip and I need to check out more from Black Mask.

My store got like 30 Bitch Planet hardcovers and charged $50 for it. Scum.

Pretty much, yeah.
Is Camelot 3000 worth getting in DC's big Cyber Monday sale? Finished another read of The Once & Future King (probably my favourite book of all time now) and in the mood for more Arthurian legend.
Are there any other good King Arthur comics, preferably on CMX? Stories inspired by the legend are okay as well, not just generic fantasy though, I've read a lot/most of those.

Good choices. Haven't read Lumberjanes, but I really like Silk.

Bitch Planet Hardcovers? When did this happen?
They were made for today's comic shop event. But it seems to have been a really small run leading to shops gouging and or doing bad shit.

There aren't that many issues out, though. Just a hardcover of the first trade is nothing to get upset over. You know there's going to be a deluxe hardcover eventually anyway.
Kelly Sue said as much today on twitter. Not nice to see shops way overcharging for something on a day thats meant to promote their stores and that shopping experience.

iPad Pro and Surface Pro are the ultimate comic readers. I LOVE my Surface Pro for comics.

Finally read Vision #1. Something about it was supremely unnerving.
Super good though.

That's really limited, but lol @ $50.
That book sat with me for a bit. Its real unnerving but intentionally so. Very impressed with that first issue.
This shop prices variants at $35 min and up. usually much higher. But thats what happens when you are the only game in town.

Yea. I'm loving it. With the case it's heavier than iPad Air 2 but after a day I was adjusted and wouldn't go back. Like I said the pro is pretty niche due to price and usage. But for how I use it (It never leaves the house, for comics, web, etc) it's great.
Three episodes into Jessica Jones, and I really wish this show had no ties to the movies. You acknowledge in show that the Avengers are a thing and fought aliens, but believing some has mind control powers is too crazy to be true. Otherwise the show is good and quite suspenseful, Krysten Ritter is fantastic.

Life is strange is next in my game queue. But I returned to Bloodborne again. I bought the new dlc but I've been working on all the old content. One more zone and boss and then it's DLC time. Never was a huge souls fan before but I'm loving this one. My GOTY edging out MGS V. It's the only other game besides MGS V where I sit down and hours just disappear in a blink of an eye. And unlike MGS V it doesn't have those noticable large game flaws.
I'm actually been researching platinuming Bloodborne. I never do that with games but this one doesn't seem bad

Don't worry, even development couldn't finish it.
I'm so excited! I didn't know when I would get around buying the deluxe edition of DC The New Frontier, so I went to eBay to see what kind of prices were on there. I ended up finding all of the single issues, 1-6 and New Frontier Special, for $5 starting bid. I hadn't even considered getting singles, but theyre like 60 page issues and in new mint condition, so I put in a starting big of $5 a few days ago and left it be. I ended up being the only one who bid on it and just got it! So now I have all of the content from the deluxe edition except for the interview/commentary, for $5. This is awesome.
Deluxe Edition is pretty sweet tho.

14 issues into Saga...Need to take a break and pace myself. I'm digesting this far too quickly.
Oh I will definitely get it at some point. But now I can read it without having to fork over $28 right now! And it's kind of cool to have all the issues of it, I think.

Young Terrorists is legit, I think Launchpad liked it too (he'll be more eloquent about it than I am) . I enjoy Space Riders but it's not for everyone, really love the art.
Nice pick up on We Can Never Go Home, that book is amazing. More people need to read it. They are continuing the series next year.
I have Clandestino and Xed (not sure if it's out yet.. I'm way behind on my backlog) but haven't read them yet.

I actually meant to post about it but I finished the first trade of Rachel Rising. It was awesome! I need to order the rest asap. I loved the art and pacing of it.
My IST order shipped. I ordered:
Solo Deluxe Edition
One Trick Rip-Off
Flash by Johns volume 1
Cowboy Wally Show
+ My copy of Why I Hate Saturn is here. Excited to read that tomorrow.

Are you tomorrow for your impressions of the next 14 issues
Hmmm??
Also, I think I'll go ahead and read through UFOlogy now. I've been waiting to finish that one up for a bit. And Locke & Key since it's finished. A few years back I started that series, but decided to hold out. Now seems like as good a time as any.
I was implying you wouldn't be able to stop that's what happened me. Now I'm month to month and getting one issue a month is killing me. The breaks for 3-4 months between arcs is also killer.
I love all of this and wish we could have more of it.
What is this? It looks like Sunstone as sci-fi

Oh...Ha. Yeaaaah...I'm forcing myself to read some other stuff right now. Because honestly, if I don't, I'm going to hit the end and be sad.
Stjepan Sejic's two pages from Harley Quinn Annual #1
Yep and don't forget plenty of heartbreak still to come in the story too
Right on, definitely gonna grab Young Terrorists.
The back matter in the WCNGH hardcover was pretty interesting, there was a piece from the writer of the series talking about gun violence and how it is often glorified in pop culture. He said they tried to show that every time Duncan and/or Maddie used violence that it effected them and had ramifications on their characters.
I bought the first issues of Ringside and Black Magick. We'll see how it goes.
I like the SP more as an ultra book than a tablet, but it's still a nice device. Isn't there some issue with the cmx app and Windows though?

I think they just expect you to use the website now, but I don't even bother with it anymore. I just use Cover.

Just got back from driving 600 miles today. I need some sleep.
I loved the setting. And the art. The story improved as the series went along but it still feels a little undercooked. I think it would be great if he revisitied it or wrote more in the world.
Yeah, the couple of volumes I read did show a little unevenness in quality. I read Christmas on Bear Mountain and didn't really enjoy it greatly. The I read Only a Poor Old Man and loved it!
This is going to be a rather long haul though. Full collection is supposed to hit 31+ volumes. And I just ordered the first box set...

Yes, namely that it doesn't exist
I was thinking about using their Android emulation thing, sideload the app manually, but that might be dead now.

I didn't even know about this Local Comic Shop Day, but I need this NOW.
I pre-ordered the Trade but I really want that HC.
It's awesome. Beginning to end. Buy and fall in love with Katie Kate. Bro.
