I have a question about Y the last man book 3.

after the arc with the Israelis ends and yorick and Co are moving on. Their are two issues about an acting troop post plague. They find ampersand and eventually yorick gets him back. How did ampersand get lost? Or will it be explained later? Yorick had him when they were leaving the hot box.

Yeah, it's an amazing book up to the end of the prison arc. And then the quality is less consistant. I agree that it's been strong for the last while, though. It surprises me that people drop it after the prison arc. I can't imagine not knowing what happens to these characters. But I read it in trade so perhaps it's a less frustrating experience that way. I remember reading one or two trades where I was like, hmmm, that's was less good. But that's not a big issue when you remember that most of the collections are rewarding reads.

The characters aren't great IMO, especially those that do survive. There's some mild interest on my part in seeing how bad things can get for Rick but that's about it. There's no real attachment to any of them. I haven't read the series in ages (left it about 10 or so issues after the prison arc was finished) and haven't really felt any compulsion to pick it back up again. Also I'm sick of zombies, they're the worst.

I vastly prefer Invincible out of the stuff that Kirkman is working on.

Yeah, they did kill of a couple of the best characters. That was a bummer. But I still care about Carl. And I think Andrea is a great character. I care about Michonne even though Kirkman has no idea how to write her, which is infuriating at times. I hate Rick. I really hope he dies in the end.

And I like zombies. Most modern zombie entertainment is abhorrent but that's not the zombies' fault.

3. why do u even need an explanation... he's a freakin monkey, what other explanation do you need??

whoa that is tight
 
We could probably arrange trades and sells in these threads. That would be cool.

Yeah, maybe we could post what we are looking to sell/trade and what kind of titles we are looking to pick up. And I would suggest approaching each other via personal message to let each other know we are interested in goods, but pm doesn't seem to work for me anymore.

I wouldn't mind something like this. I've been ebaying a lot of old trades the last month or so, and while I shifted 75% of them mega fast, like faster than I could ge tto the post office, and last 30 odd are just sitting and sitting, and really no-one seems to even be viewing them. If I could at least get eyes on them for the kind of people who might genuinely be interested, it'd be a start.

so uh (a little late) list time i guess:

Damian Son Of Batman #1
Sandman Overture #1
Ash & The Army Of Darkness #1
Superior Spider-Man #20


Hope at least two of those #1s end up decent...
 
Speaking of people selling things. If anyone has a good condition collection of John Byrne's Man of Steel 6 issue mini that they don't want any more, I would happily buy it off you.
 
Does google docs allow multiple people to access a file and add and edit it? If so we could set up one of those and put down what were willing to part with and what we're looking for.


Edit. Also I am adding the Nightwing annual to my pull because it adds to the Batgirl Wanted storyline.

Yeah, and I wouldn't mind buying any of of Paul Dini's Detective Comics run from 821 - 852 (sans 828) if someone would be willing to part with any of them them. Would def save me the hassle of screwing with ebay.
 
I was looking at the bookshelf and looking at the books my wife brought to the relationship from before we met. I was searching for any recognizable names and came across "a complete lowlife" by Ed Brubaker. Anybody have any experience with the book? Worth a read?

I think I might have these and I'm not attached at all to my physical comics any more, but I am in the UK so it might be expensive to ship.
 
Given everyone is talking about this and showing interest, I'll link this, but if anyone takes object, please say and I'll remove. The reason I never mentioned it much before was because I didn't want to come across as advertising my wares, but like I said, people are discussing. Click. Live in the UK, so really only good for UK peeps I guess. I already sold like 80 books or something but who knows, peeps might find something niteresting from whats left. Relisted some stuff today with auction prices as well, jsut want them shifted for all these image books coming next year. (Ignore the one dvd ha)

Also, Korupt, that's cool your wife brought along Ed Brubaker books haha, I think the only book my girlfriend brought to the shelf from before living together was Batman: Arkham living hell.

NOW!
 
Preview of SEX #8 (Comic Book Resources)

WARNING: ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING DO NOT CLICK

Kind of feel like an age verification page-block should have come up there. But yeah, this is supposedly what the opening story arc has been building to, and the first trade collects up to this issue so it would seem to reinforce that. Simon is in the belly of the beast, and meets the woman he lusted after for years as his alter-ego. I wonder what's going to happen..?

The obvious? Or, the not?

Alright cool! Just PM me an estimate on what you think is fair and I assume we can exchange paypal info to handle payments, yes?

***Just to clarify: I am in the US***

Yeah man, I'll have a dig when I get home and look into it for you. If you don't hear back from me in a day or two PM me to remind me, I am very forgetful sometimes!
 
The First Chapter Of Si Spurrier's Free Webcomic Disenchanted Dropped Today.

Blog Post In Which Spurrier Discusses The Series


I picked up a floppy containing these first 12 pages at Holloween ComicFest and I'm intrigued. The art is a little rough but I am on board for any indie Spurrier. I'm just in love with this man's brain. Not sure if I will read weekly because I know I will want to buy the collections that are going to drop every 6 months. Either way, I am looking forward to following this.

All you people waiitng for a tablet, Nook HD+ 9'' is the ebay special thingy today, 32GB model for $124.

Edit: it is a manufacturer's refurbished model though.

Anyone stick with America's Got Powers? Final issue released this month so i read the rest of the series, it was okay. Character motivations like Senator..Palin....were a bit too direct.

Yeah. I think I'm going the collections route. Gotta show my support for Spurrier.
 
I admit to loving a good chunk of the New 52. It got me back into comics in a big way when I was mostly a dabbler before hand. But I swear to God, I don't even know how the fuck you salvage Teen Titans at this point. It's almost Stormwatch levels of bad.

I actually was OK with it in the beginning. The fact that it crossed over with Legion Lost, in the Harvest storyline, certainly helped. But I actually liked some of the new characters they brought in, like Bunker and Skitter. Seemed like a decent place to try out new characters and see how they do.

But the team has dwindled to the point that I don't even know what you do with it at this point. Legion Lost swept under the rug. Bunker, gone. Skitter gone. A prominent member slated to be killed off in a few months. You're going to be left with like, four members for the team.

Just fucking kill everyone on the team and start over with a new one, please.

On a brighter note, Superman/Wonder Woman was really good.
 
I bought Green Arrow #24 and Batman #24 for a coworker today for no good reason other than we talk comic heros from time to time. +1 comic karma.

New Black Science teaser:

I need this book.

This is probably the first comic I'm actually going to buy.

I remember when I first started coming to comicsgaf people were talking about it, I did my own research on it and I've been hyped ever since.

just take my money already!
