Re: Corporate Wars
No one has done a corporate war/ dystopian future setting quite like Rucka & Lark in the image series Lazarus. It’s one of my top 3 all time favourite modern comics out there. Very intelligent, relatively grounded sci-fi that tries to forward-think current technology and Geo-political trends int...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore
As far as my comic collection goes - I think I’ve got about 5 long boxes-worth of books set aside now that are gonna go out the door. That is the single largest purge of comics I have ever done, and instead of being a painful or traumatic experience of letting go, it felt like a weight lifted and m...

Re: VEI Ivar
I gotta re-read that series again soon, it has been a while & I’ve forgotten a lot of the details of it. One of my favourite VEI books.

Re: Just not feeling it anymore
I also had a bit of a personally traumatic experience at the start of the year that dovetailed with that already growing urge to go through my personal belongings and collections, and trim it all down a bit. I needed a bit of psychological reset/mind clearing activity as the physical clutter felt t...

Re: Convention score
Right on, man. Im still looking for a copy of Harbinger #4 to replace the one I traded away in the late 90’s before all those issues lost their value (I got a really good copy of Conan #1 in exchange for a set of Harbinger #1-12 at the time). I love that pre-unity books are still revered as such a c...

Re: Comic Book New Year's Resolutions for 2024
I was going to post in this thread back in January to mention that I was feeling the urge to purge a little - this month I managed to do that extensively in my studio space area. I went through a hell of a lot of detritus from my past and cleared out a lot of stuff I felt no connection to any longer...

Re: Just not feeling it anymore
I’m still feeling it, I’m just feeling less of it lately. One element of that is certainly the aging effect. I like to continue to grow & learn from my life experiences as I go along, and actively engage in change when I feel that need as well (which is not necessarily often, I do tend to be com...

Re: Ninjak Superkillers #1
I thought this was an ok read. I like Mike Nortons art although this did feel a tad cartoonish. I also had not been following every Ninjak series prior to this one (I for sure skipped the Parker/Polido series) and definitely felt like I was missing something - where did these humanoid animal charact...

Triggered alert here, :lol: I gotta say that I really despise that term “floppies”. They are *comic books*. The original format - the original name for them is *comic books*. All other formats that came afterwards like TPB’s have their *own* terms to differentiate them from the *original format*. Wh...

Re: Legacy Numbering
Yes, exactly. That's how Marvel does it. That *is* "legacy numbering". Many of the earlier re-numbered volumes don't have the legacy numbering on the cover, but they're still counted. It doesn't bug me. So, 174. Would you think to include Unconquered? That would push it to 180. Agree. Cou...

Re: Alien's VALIANT
I think Hickman or Ewing could definitely write up some awesome Harbinger story arcs that would build nicely off of Dysarts run on both Harbinger & Imperium and even Heisserer’s Secret Weapons. That would be really great to see. I would also love to see what Ewing might do with Shadowman - his ...

Re: ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH
Got my copy today - thankfully undamaged but that could have gone badly considering that packaging. Tissue paper around the book isn’t much help when it slides around inside the box!
