Just bought Stark: Disassembled HC for £9.99 on Amazon. Boom!
-
Preach. It also had that nightcrawler scene and the fight between Wolverine and Deathstrike- my two favorite portrayals of super powers on screen to date. Oh, and Iceman's 'coming out' scene is genius.

What I meant by storage is that you need boxes and shit, whereas trades sit on your bookshelf and can be easily picked up and revisited. Singles are also very weak, physically. I've not seriously damaged any of mine yet but they're not exactly durable. a good trade is much better.

They're not worth the money dude. Don't do it. FP in Sheffield charge £3.30 for Marvel and DC books, which is outrageous. You can buy Marvel trades of the same issues for about £10 and you get a Much better quality of print and storage too. Single issues are as hard to find good storage for as they are expensive, while trades are easier to keep, cheaper and you can read them off the shelf.

Haaha I saw your first post on The Wire and I knew that was coming. Glad you like it- everyone does, really. Personally, I've finally gotten around to Six Feet Under. More HBO goodness and very much in the spirit of what makes The Wire great- slow, thoughtful plotting, dense detail, naturalism and depth over shock and action. It's probably the strongest piece of character fiction I've ever seen, in fact. It's brave and occasionally controversial too, with a fantastic performance from Michael C Hall as David, a gay and initially closeted funeral director. His role is, I think, responsible for several leaps forward in the realistic portrayal of gay men on TV. It's basically brilliant. everyone needs to watch it.

Rebirth is good but I think including loads of the JLA etc in that was a mistake as loads of characters in it meant nothing to me. Saying that though, I could tell there was a lot of chaff attached to the franchise; Rebirth felt like the books clearing their throat, so to speak. Great series, anyway.

You can buy nose trimmers. They're like mini versions of the long hair cutters on electric razors.

So I started reading Green Lantern again . This is the third time Ive tried to do a full run. First time through, the scans I read were just shite (every double page was scanned at the back, out of page order) and the second time I got distracted. I really like some elements of the way DC do things- particularly that all of their big heroes are all crazy powerful. Green Lantern, especially, benefits from the amazing scope his powers allow- for example, in #3 it takes him five seconds to get to space off the ground, shortly before he survives a nuke going off without much trouble. It certainly contrasts with even the most extravagant Marvel books; Only Thor and the cosmic heroes at Marvel come close. There's definitely more of a 'world of tomorrow' science fiction element at DC.

I can't stand limited edition games- at least not these HYPER MEGA SUPER EDITION things. The Halo: Reach Legendary edition is honest to God boxed Virginity, it's just awful.

A quick painless trim with a guard on certainly looks like gain

Waxing your nuts would be excruciating. I've been left winded by the merest badly judged fondle before, so the idea of the force required for wax strips would probably make me throw up.

People...don't wash their hair every day? If I leave mine more than 24 hours it gets unbelievably greasy and foul. Flink, yesterday.

JRJr isn't an artist with a high fidelity to his style but he's charmingly old school- a real antidote to the likes of Land- and I maintain that he's almost certainly the best visual storyteller in the business. His grasp of character, layout, and pacing is second to none. I really enjoy his art, even if it is a little rough.

Green Lantern would still kick his ass

Try one called Beever It's a putty that leaves no trace in your hair at all, smells good and provides a pretty strong hold. I swear by it now.

aaand neither does your face. bachalo returning to X-Men is good. Very good. It's about time the X-books generally had more expressive art again. I'm so, so sick of Land's reference work and the super heavy shader work on X-Force always put me off a little. I'm hoping the push the X-men seem to be getting with stuff like The Avengers being more involved leads to a creative push behind the scenes from editorial too. The franchise deserves to be on at least level pegging with The Avengers.

Dantei f you're going to flood pages with a fuckton of screens, use spoiler tags.

I think there's room for the UIG, personally. Like the others have said it doesn't get in the way of threads so much but Odders closed everything en masse. We're discussing reopening a couple of threads right now up in our Ivory Tower so it'll likely come back.

I'm going to draw a picture of the Scarlet Witch being punched in the head and see if Bendis likes it.

yeah i figured that'd be the one. it's superb.

I really don't think sub forums are a good idea. We don't have the numbers and the whole point of this move was to break down barriers to discussion not put more in place.

lolwut!? seriously?
