Oops. Yeah, the novels have been pretty good overall. They haven't reached the heights that some of the old EU novels reached yet but A New Dawn was good and I liked Tarkin. I've haven't read Lords of the Sith but both it and Dark Disciple have been well received. Heir to the Jedi seems to have disappointed people.

That said, did they let the artist letter this issue? More barred I's than a drunk at an Alphabet Convention.

No idea. Dave Lanphear did the backup story this week, I reckon it's the same dude for the main story.
Holy shit

I appreciate the resources. I will read up so that I am not so ignorant and so I can appreciate lettering more :c

A "barred I" is an I with the bars on the top and bottom and should ONLY EVER BE USED IN COMICS when someone is talking about themselves (as in "I think any editor who lets a barred I slip into a published comic needs to get off Facebook for a second and do their FUCKING job."*). With the advent of digital lettering, it's easy for a letterer to cut and paste dialogue from a script which is usually written in all caps. Most comic book lettering fonts have the "capital I" barred, because you need one for the above cited instances. This means the letterer needs to go in and lowercase all the "i"s so they don't have bars on them. If someone is, say, an artist under a tite deadline, they're just going to cut and paste the dialogue into their balloons and send it along. Happens sometimes in Criminal, as Philips also letters his own work.
It makes comics dialogue look like cheap shit, always, forever.
*Should be read as if said by Frank TJ Mackey in climactic phone scene with his assistant in the hallway in Magnolia

"Adjustments."
Also, I think whoever is sculpting the Capullo Batman figures must have a grumpy cat background on their workspace. Or Capullo does.

I read Lords of the Sith and Dark Disciple, which I enjoyed. I think the old EU started to waver in quality around the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force. There were some good novels sprinkled in there, but still. I think NJO just went on for too long. Looking forward to Aftermath, though. Being the first novel that chronologically takes place after ROTJ.
Before I quit my website job I was the opposite. I've always been a massive PC guy but had to use a Mac at work and it was miserable. Haha. I can use one just fine, but I just way prefer the functionality of Windows.
Thanks though! I'm loving it so far. It's an excellent piece of hardware, and Windows 10 is fantastic so far too.
I actually really dig this figure. Face and all. Haha. I think I'll probably get it when it's out.
You should buy all the batman figures in capullo's line, remove their heads, put them in a bag, and just carry around a bag full of frowny faces and whenever anyone says something you don't like reach into the bag and slam down a frowny face batman on to the table and say "YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THIS!"
just a thought...

Sounds like an expensive route to go for a gag.

Aw man, that's Kevin Hearne's one, and I'm a HUGE fan of his Iron Druid Chronicles series.

I admit to not reading it.
Yes. This is an excellent idea.

I'm still planning on reading it once I've finished Aftermath. A first person Luke story still interests me as long as there's no naughty thoughts about his sister.
i forget this movie exists for years at a time. Tonight is another Until Dawn night.
All the complaints I've read highlight issues with Lukes characterization and how he is written decidedly unlike Luke. I haven't read it yet myself, currently making my way through Lords of the Sith which is great.
I spent exactly £2.46 on Disney Infinity 3.0 today and managed to get the starter set, Sabine, the Inside Out playset, Sadness and some of those disks that I have no idea what they are used for. Buying things Kipp style makes you feel pretty good.

Why did they use a Hulk Hogan reference in that solit?
Marvel letting their racism out for all to see.

Guys did you see Marvel announced a new Guardians of the Galaxy comic?
Nope, definitely haven't seen that before.

Eh not that much. They're simple and feel sorta 'fanfic-ish', though they do have their moments.
Just watch this it's a friggin' fantastic (it's region locked though so get it for your respective region)-

The newest one irritates me because it's "Guardians does Exiles". We've had Avengers Exiles (Ultron Forever), Spider-Exiles (Web Warriors) and now this. I want the real thing dammit!
It doesn't have to be all X-Men characters, but still, come on! You can even put an Inhuman on the team, Marvel.

Waiting for Sinister Guardians before I get my sub list ready.

The Superior Foes of the Guardians of the Galaxy
It's just 18 issues of Thanos and J-Son playing video games and complaining about life.
I'd read this.
Basically give Thanos and co from Secret Wars their own space faring book. The many adventures of Thanos and Black Swan with special guest Namor.

I would read a Proxima Midnight ongoing.
That would be cool. Even just a mini about the Black Order. It's interesting that she's the only one who Hickman designed himself.
I see you
