Well personally
I think the art sucks.
Seriously, I just don't think it's very good.

Hahah welcome back man.
Also just wait til you get to the comic shop scene. You'll know the one.
I have a hard time picturing what something as 90s as The Invisibles would look like in 2017 but hey it's working out great for Twin Peaks. If Grant wants to bring it back I'm in.

Not announced thus far if so. Wouldn't surprise me if another mini is announced.
Did you see Dini telling Conner to maybe start thinking about a Zatanna/Sabrina crossover btw?
Wild Children was also some good good shit. Riley Rossmo is a talent.

Hell yea, that brings the Kot madness too.
In fact, Messi, you like Rat Queens/Wiebe right? Green Wake might be worth a look, although not sure you'd love the story.
I don't want to get excited only to have my heart broken

DC really wants to remind people of those Snickers ads, huh
Eventually Funko gets everyone
except Quorra or any character played by Olivia Wilde

Haha you're telling me there isn't an extensive House pop line?
Secret props to Messi for turning me onto the HB Funko news

Kot and Rossmo's worked together? Holy crap!
I enjoyed Rossmo's weird little series Drumheller. And I bought his Dia de Los Muertos collection, but I think I've only skimmed it.

You've shown great restraint. I, meanwhile, am in danger.

If this movie gets decent reviews then I'll hang this poster up.

It's been awhile since I've read Hellboy, and when I did it was so inconsistent that I was honestly confused by what I was reading. I have to go back to it when I can.
It won't, because it's got Zack Snyder's name on it.
But it's gonna be a dope movie. Guaranteed.

Haha good timing on the Abe pickup
I have not, so this is all new to me. Looking forward to reading it. I don't think I'll be done before BPRD this week lol
I didn't know there was a two-part story by Arcudi and Harren either. That's gonna be awesome.

It's good stuff dude. Sounds like you're reading it the way it was released haha
Oh yea, that story is pretty wicked actually, Harren is totally off the leash for that haha. There's actually an origin story for a character in that volume that you might not expect... it's all great imo looking forward to your thoughts. I really enjoyed the main ongoing as a compliment to HoE
Marvel chased off A LOT of talent to DC

I am impossibly excited for Defenders you guys.
You have no idea.
You have no idea.
I was reading the LEs. Something about Mignola's writing is very abstract, and I think that was my issue at the time.

To the person that said Bakugo was a Sasuke knockoff, that title goes to Todoroki. Except Todoroki got over his family issues real quick instead of having an entire run devoted to him holding grudges until the very last chapter.

Oh wait haha sorry my bad, I read that as you saying your actual reading of it was inconsistent, like large gaps between issues. I appreciate what you're saying. I really love Mignola but I do see what you mean. I think of his writing style and wording as very succinct and in tune with the art to tell the story but if your not on his wavelength I get that it could read as that strange alien thing. Some of the actual plot happenings are genuinely bizarre too lol especially in the short stories. How far did you get?

I don't understand why Superman isn't in the movie. He's like a main JL guy.
I mean he stabbed himself to death with a kryptonite spear.

I read all 6 Hellboy LEs. You weren't wrong. I did read the LEs with big spaces in between. It's why I need to reread it. I really liked it, but fuck me if I understood the overall plot. I didn't. Not until the very end. King Arthur shit got wacky.

Lol. Yeah but, y'know... Comics. Not that I'm sad to learn this. I hated the casting for Superman.
I have a thing about pictures where faces are half cropped out. Annoying. But I'm excited for the movie. Give me all the Gal WW.
I love Wally West as The Flash, although I haven't read TOO much of his stuff as Kid Flash (that should change in a couple of months when the New Teen Titans Omni reprint comes out).
That's fair. I think that, if you know somebody close who deals heavily with anxiety and depression, you can relate to the Cruz character a lot better as well as her interactions with Simon. If you don't, then it would just be annoying. Not to say that itself is the only deciding factor, but I do think it is one.

Haha okay, I'm with you (I get there eventually). That stuff definitely gets out there, I thought the Arthurian stuff came from nowhere back when I first read them, totally through me for a loop and all the stuff to do with the house of the fly, or Ed Grey and the faerie folk etc and the more random elements don't necessarily mean much til later on.
What's always fun about the books though is that even if you're confused or don't know what's going on, it's 99% likely Hellboy doesn't either so the plot kind of gets away with it's more opaque elements. You always really feel on par with HB and he kind of doesn't even want anything to do with the more batshit stuff, it just keeps finding him

Ugh, I bought a Green Lanterns mini series called rebirth instead of the first volume of rebirth Green Lanterns. Stupid comics. So I'll give rebirth GL a try and also New Superman.
That poster looks really cool.:O

I loved these. We had a whole bunch of Marvel and Disney ones and while probably nothing on a lot of the figurines you guys purchase, as a nice not too expensive collectable, they were nice and chunky with good build and a cute style. The worst thing about the game ending was no more figures, not the game being cancelled lol.
Quorra won.
Yup, have her and like it a lot. Glad Tron came to be for Disney Infinity.
