Yeah, see, when I'm heavy into comics then I'm talking to geeks at the store and visiting messageboards and website. But when I'm not? When I'm just very casually observing comics and not interested in visiting messageboards or spending an hour tooling around a store? I enjoy skimming through Wizard just to see what's up and if there's anything that catches my attention.

I can't begin to read about video games. Every 6 months or so I waste money on video games. I rely entirely on the commercials I see and the gaming friends I have to tell me what I should be wasting my money on. And skimming through the OO game board. Either that or I just grab a few random games from EB's used bin for $3 a piece.

I can't believe Batman called Robin "chum." How Adam-West is that?

I meant to post this a long time ago, but I did finally receive SIDEKICKED!, and it was great. I enjoyed it thoroughly, front-to-back. Tard and BTR are to be commended for their efforts. Even if it did take three months to arrive.

Yeah, you probably should. Instead of the WRTB, it could be the "I wasted my time recommending something you've already read temp ban" (or IWMTRSYARTB for short).

Winter Soldier pretty much begins when Ed Brubaker's run begins (Captain America Vol. 5, #1. The story arc is, I believe, 15 issues, collected in 2 TPBs). This is where Bucky comes back. And the return of Bucky is actually pretty dope. I never liked him until this story arc. Brubaker's Bucky would actually make an interesting Cap.

fuck man. i almost made it. almost.

i got into work today, and being the good fanboy i am, i decided to check my comic book news before checking any real news. and thank god i did, as newsarama.com warned me not to watch tv, read a newspaper, or hit up any news sites, as today's captain america #25 will be spoiled for me. and with the minor hiccup of psychofish revealing just a little too much initially in this thread, i still went all day without finding out what happened in the comic. so i get out of wrok and head to the comic store. luckily i called in the morning to have one held for me, as it was of course sold out (and i'll have a rant later on what a stupid move this media blitz of marvel's was). and, of course, before i can get my books and get out, in comes Mr. Jerk-off, who the first words out of his mouth is "do you have the book where BLAHBITY BLAH BLAH?!?"

and boom. a full days work ruined. and of course, it's a random dipshit who hasn't bought a comic since 1994, the last time he thought it would be "worth something."

anyway. it was a good issue nonetheless. woulda been nice not to see it coming.

Rorschach fucking rules the universe.

My favorite comic of all time is "Transmetropolitan". Spider Jerusalem has so many great lines it's hard to cite them all.
Probably the one that really sticks in my head is when he describes himself as"...cheap, but not as cheap as your girlfriend."

That's pretty cool.

There was touching involved?

cuz he's not a straight up clone. he's partial clone partial cyborg.

here's how it happened with me...

Y and fables both started around the same time. from the start i thought both were great, but i was really high fables. everyone else kept saying "fables is good too, but Y is the book." then i'd say probably around the late 20s or early 30s, very consistently, everyone i knew reading Y as comics started saying "i think you're right zig, fables is the better book," while the ones reading it in trade were calling it their favorite book.

i never read it in trade, but those were very consistent reactions for me, so trade is what i have to recommend.

Newsarama says it's back on:

And the Turner variant:

Ah. I didn't think it was out yet. I thought it was coming out at the same time as or after CW7.

For now, I'd say yes. When BRB's in Omega Flight and Thor's still dead, not so much.

Very cool and looking forward to it.

you're a cumbucket.
