Boght the Paper Girls series and can't wait to get into that. First I've got to finish The Incal, though. AND I've also got a Mister X compendium waiting for me. Plus eying those Hellboy compendiums.
Oh well...
With no access to the library and the actual books I keep forgetting about this! I should just go ahead and order the damn things.
comics thought I read today:I also have this theory that Popeye didn’t like spinach. I believe that he was a Hulk, and that eating canned spinach was the fastest way to make himself angry.
There was a Lemire Humble Bundle a few months ago that I grabbed, I really should dig into that with all of this free time *coughcough* that we have.
did one last order for the month since it's 3 for the price of 2:
Batman: Damned
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the Ultimate Collection
Batman Beyond Rebirth volume 1
also, comic shops have recently opened up around me after being closed for a few months. my gf and I wanted to support our local one, and we also had a nice day trip to Kevin Smith's comic shop.
I picked up:
Nightwing vol 1
Batman & Harley Quinn
Batman Adventures Mad Love
my gf picked up Saga vol 1. She said it's great so far, and the owner of the shop was raving about the series. It was a blind buy on her behalf. She also picked up a Batman Beyond single issue and trade. She was a huge Batman Beyond fan growing up and has now gotten me into it as well.
The initial TMNT stuff just has a great look to it. You know the story behind their creation? (if not, the Netflix series "The Toys That Made Us" S3 E1 covers it well)
The creator of Saga lives like, 3 blocks away from me. Her partner also put out a neat comic inspired by some regional history (Frank).my gf picked up Saga vol 1. She said it's great so far, and the owner of the shop was raving about the series. It was a blind buy on her behalf.
cool!
I'll have to watch that episode on Netflix, thanks!
Ronin came today, super excited for this one!
I want to get into Sin City..but the books seem hard to find and expensive.
Last of the initial Spawn I want arrived today... 1 - 25. More more Amazing Spider-Man (although, technically two, but one isn't a McFarlane... but I want a complete storyline, soooo....) and then I just have those Incredible Hulks to pick-up and I can consider this quest done.
And then I can read them.
And then I can sleep.
Or have a sandwich.
really getting into Frank Miller lately.
ordered yesterday:
Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson vol 1
The Life & Times of Martha Washington in the 21st Century
I know it concluded a couple of months ago, but I finally had a chance to finish Paper Girls, and it was blast! Highly recommended!
finished Ronin today...absolutely loved it. I certainly felt Michonne was inspired by this book. Also, Stranger Things to a small degree (when psychic powers are used, a nose bleed follows, like El )
Started reading Batman Hush and I can't put it down! Seriously, I've been binge reading like people binge shows. I only have a few issues left and I'll finish it tomorrow. I forgot how much I love Jim Lee's art- in the early 90's as a kid his was some of the first artwork I had seen and it had such a lasting impact on me apparently.
enjoy....I remember collecting those as a kid as they were coming out. I was too young to fully understand it, but he quickly became one of my favorite characters. The art, of course, hooked me in. Love it. I think I'll be making my way back to Spawn not too far down the line. Getting into Batman now though first. Speaking of...I remember my grandparents buying me two comic books randomly one day as a surprise...Batman: Gotham By Gaslight and Spawn/Batman. Totally too dark for a 7 year old at the time hah! They didn't look, just saw Batman and figured it was like the 60's TV show. Wish I still had those comics.
Just discovered the site In Stock Trades...geez their prices are better than Amazon! I'm putting together my next haul on there. Think I'm going to complete the Miller Daredevil stuff and pick up a few more Batman books.
I also started reading Preacher...I'm halfway through the first issue...is the series good? Worth reading?

I got the first collection through Google because of one of those dumb coupons they give you randomly. I liked it, though it's also squeam-inducing in bits.
side note: watched the comic-con trailer for the first season of the show last night with my son to see if he would be interested in the show and he didn't really get it, and I could totally see why: things are set up in-scene in a way that would only make sense if you'd already read the book. I don't know why they cut that together that way. Maybe because it was for comic-con? still.
Just read through the first few Spawn issues. I love the mythology of it, but I think the writing is a bit silly at times. I remember watching the animated version and really liking it.
Also started Paper Girls and the first issue of Transmetropolitan!
I just finished the Batman: Long Halloween graphic novel....excellent...had me guessing every time I turned the page. then when you think you have it figured it out...the ending totally proved any guesses I had wrong..awesome
Issue 10 of Spawn is just great (the Cerebus/Dave Sims one).
So yeah, this is a mindfuck. I was a big fan of his writing, but mannn...fuck this dude.
Warren Ellis has been grooming, targeting, and manipulating women for years.
That is a great response. He came out almost a month ago and denied the allegations, so they spent the next month compiling everything before coming back full-force... and it's not a Google document.

I guess I missed The Rise of Ultraman preorder packs for #1. I haven't bought a comic in years.
any recommendations on 100 Bullets?
