Olivia looked so pretty on Fallons show last night. She was adorable during the watermelon segment too.

I just watched the water melon bit on YouTube. That water melon was a disappointment to its family.

You can't do that whole segment and then toss the watermelon down.

[Owzers]

[Zombine]

You guys really dig Olivia don't you?

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Olivia |OT| Comics No More!

 

[Owzers]

You guys really dig Olivia don't you?

I've seen so many Olivia gifs here i can't help it.

 

[Messi]

I really do. But they won't let me have an Olivia OT.

Man, I could kick my ass that I didnt bought the Furiosa Comic back then...

I was actually looking into The Rise of Aurora West and The Fall of the House of West the other day, I had no idea that Pope didn't do the art. You seem pretty positive towards it so I'll be sure to give it a look. I liked the world a lot and I am very interested in seeing more. It is a real shame how Battling Boy just... stops. It was very enjoyable though.

I highly recommend 100% too. It rules. All black and white and you can tell Pope really just loves inking from it. It's fantastic.

Story you shared was pretty interesting too!

The art is by David Rubin and is in B&W. I really liked this art too. His action sequences feel very dynamic.

Only niggle is that the book comes in such a small form factor (manga volume sized).

Will definitely look at 100%. Sounds very interesting.

So, I'm not really huge into comics. This is what I've read:
The Dark Knight Returns
Swamp Thing (Alan Moore) Vol. 1 + 2
Transmetropolitan Vol 1
Saga Vol 1

I really liked TDKR, but nothing else has impressed me as much as the last two that I read.

The Manhattan Projects Vol 1. I went into it only knowing that it involved real world scientists. I had no idea what I was in for, and I fucking love it.

Ms. Marvel Vol 1. My god, this was charming as fuck. Had me laughing at loud several times. Gonna have to go to the library and request an interlibrary loan for Vol. 2.

Edit: Not sure whether it was assumed, but I'm talking about the new Ms. Marvel.

I'd check out East of West by Hickman too since you liked Manhattan Projects.

Do we think about Marvel 1602 as an Event or as an Miniseries?
I am having a problem putting it in the right shelf

 

[WadiumArcadium]

How's the Batgirl trade that's in that Comixology sale? Batgirl of Burnside?

 

[Messi]

How's the Batgirl trade that's in that Comixology sale? Batgirl of Burnside?

Worth that price for the art alone. The story is serviceable. Has gotten better recently.

I wouldn't consider it an event really. Feels more like a miniseries to me.

That looks good! And yeah, the size is a shame, I've seen the books irl I wish Battling Boy was bigger myself. It's a nice little hardcover at least.

I like the 100% hardcover a lot but some of the edges get lost in the gutter UGH

So, I'm not really huge into comics. This is what I've read:

If you're trying out stuff, I definitely recommend you try out Hawkeye by Matt Fraction. It's great stuff.

How's the Batgirl trade that's in that Comixology sale? Batgirl of Burnside?

I like the current run a lot so far. If you can manage to look past the fact that Babs acts different from the previous run then it's good, solid fun with some great art.

I think the plan was to do Battling Boy and then two Aurora West books in the meantime before the second Battling Boy. Pope knew he wouldn't have the second volume of Battling Boy done the next year so he got Rubin who has a background in animation to do pump out (which is a bad phrase, he's quite good) a few books.

It's pretty fun, I think, but I have gripes with the format too, shit's even smaller than BB

Speaking of nipples, there's a Batman collection sale on cmx now. People could try Earth One vol 1 for $4 along with other books.

Hey thanks for this info. I finally bought a nice tablet to read digital comics, so I just picked up six collections I've been wanting to get already anyway, for way cheaper. This is awesome.

 

[TetraxShards]

Batman Day sale is legit. Got Grayson, Gotham Academy, Batgirl of Burnside and the Eternal volumes. Excellente.

Thanks guys, I'll add it to the pile.

I couldn't believe the Eternal volumes were that price. List price is FOURTY DOLLARS! Craziness. But yeah, I got Eternal vol. 2 (already have a physical version of vol. 1), Grayson vol. 1, Gotham Academy, Batman and Robin vol. 1, Hush, and Batman '66 vol. 1.

I'm still thinking about also getting Batgirl of Burnside, Arkham Knight, and Death of the Family. We'll see. It's kind of hard to pass that up.

All this rampant, shameless consumerism... People have forgotten the real meaning of Batman Day. >:[

This does not surprise me.

I'm going to have other people paint clown pictures for me to celebrate Batman day.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Woah didn't realize the Batman Eternal volumes were $4. Getting those.

 

[tim1138]

Happy Batman Day everyone, may all your Bat wishes come true!

The Kanan one shot was really good. This series has been a lot better than I expected.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Man, I could kick my ass that I didnt bought the Furiosa Comic back then...

That comic was so good. It was the only one of the Mad Max tie-ins that I bought.

I think that was the book the caused a fight here over treatment of women no?

Eh. Not really. I mean, it was the same few people that it usually is.

 

[Simply Sarah]

So, uh, what's the deal with the Eternal Warrior standalone series? They seem to not just be inconsistent with the rest of the current Valiant universe but actually downright incoherent with it. Like the two stories are fine and all, but they seem entirely apocryphal.

Furiosa sold out so fast at the local comic store. ;_;

I bought it digitally after hearing how awesome it was. It didn't even occur to me to pick it up at the shop. XD

You must have been furiosa

Ba dum tish!

 

[Poodlestrike]

Happy Bat-Day, everyone!

I'ma buy some comics.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Are any of the batman volumes on sale at amazon worth it? I didn't follow eternal or anything.

 

[Freezasaurus]

some of us prefer real comics.

But think of all that space going to waste. That's prime statue real estate.

You must have been furiosa

Ba dum tish!

And this is the best Messi post I've read all week.

Step it up, man.

 

[Owzers]

I only need one spot for statues since I keep returning them.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Hot damn at this Comixology sale...

How's the Batgirl trade that's in that Comixology sale? Batgirl of Burnside?

It's good. It's fun. There's the criticism that Babs acts too much like Steph, which is valid I suppose, but looking past that it's a solid start to a good run. The series has become more interesting recently.

 

[Kipp]

So I get to hire someone new at FroYo. Looking through all these resumes... People are awful. Now I know what I'm up against when I'm looking for a job and I feel much better about my chances. Haha
It's scary how many of these kids have like 4 jobs on their resume, each held for just 2-3 months. C'mon now.
And so many grammar/spelling errors. And so much horrible formatting.
