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...

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...

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!

I would love to see a new take on the Generation Zero kids from the PRS storyline in Bloodshot… and at this point, something that ignores that Van Lente series that kind of ruined the potential of the group.

Our Bones Dust by Ben Stenbeck, published by Image. This is the kind of modern comic that gets me super excited and passionate about comics and their full potential again.
