Munch Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Heads up. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/08/12/flex-mentallo-the-trade-paperback-by-grant-morrison-and-frank-quitely/ Although I think the single issues will still keep their value anyway.
Paj! Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) I read that the other day, but I'm not holding out hope. And either way, I'd prefer to have the issue, it means a lot to me. While I love Morrison, and loved Final Crisis, which I just finished, It does seem a bit rich to have links ot Flex Mentallo when 99% of the people reading Final Crisis won't be able to read Flex Mentallo. However, it does make it a much better piece of work for those who have read Flex. And technically it all links to Animal Man and Doom Patrol anyway. So basically it just rewards Morrisonites. :P EDIT: I bought this random Buy It Now I found, must have just gone online! I'm so happy! I'm going to fucking cry. Edited August 21, 2010 by Paj!
Munch Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 What, the full set? How much? I thought I was good the other day; I got Dark Phoenix Saga, From the Ashes and X-Men Masterworks volume 1 for 99p+£2 postage.
ReZourceman Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I'm kind of annoyed. I've just spent the last few hours writing a five page story for that MillarWorld thing. I read this on CBR. To that effect, aside from including his own serials like "Kick-Ass 2" and the upcoming "Superior" as well as UK celebrity series like Jonathan Ross' "Turf" with Tommy Lee Edwards, "CLiNT" is embarking on a new open submissions process for aspiring talent wishing to break into British comics. "What I also want to do is find all that new talent in the comics industry. There must be another Alan Moore or Dave Gibbons out there for this generation, but he's working in his day-job and doesn't know where to pitch," Millar said. "It'd be nice if they were British, but they wouldn't have to be. There's great talent in the States and beyond we're already using in the first few issues. What I'd like is to see submissions from people - they can post their work on my Millarworld site. I'm editing this as a part time job. My full time gig is my comics stuff and my movie stuff, so I don't have time to read script submissions or work at developing artists. What I'm asking is for people to create three, four or five-page stories in the style of 'The Twilight Zone' and showcase their talents in an easier and faster way for me to look at. That's why I created the 'Space Oddities' format, similar to what '2000AD' did years ago with "Future Shocks'. This was a wonderful training ground for new writers, I started there myself. Alan Moore started there. Peter Milligan, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison and all these guys started on 'Future Shocks' and graduated onto bigger things once they proved they could tell a story. Now "in the style of the Twilight Zone" is a bit broad, I just thought it meant the sense of a stand alone story. I finish the script, and then click on the thread and it says ...and post your three, four and five page sci-fi short stories below. We're buying the best ones. Hate. Mine is just a US police case thing. Well its pretty good so I'm still gonna post it (Mike of Cast is gonna do it, we had a chat and I asked if he thought he could bang this out quickly) so yeah. And it'll probably get ignored/or whatever. Just annoying. Oh well, it'll be good to have in the proverbial portfolio I guess.

Paj! Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 ^ That just seems silly. The same thing over and over with very little interesting about it.
Ellmeister Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Ne'er so much as fingered a lass Think you got the wrong thread mate, this isn't the time to bitch about life thread.
gmac Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 well semi sorted my trade collection for a couple of pictures Hardcovers Paperbacks there is some missing from the TPBs, couple of Green Lantern Corps trades, the complete Y the Last Man, the other 6 (or 7) DMZ trades, 2 Scalped trades, two 100 Bullets trades and the 1st Unwritten trade oh yeah and the Scott Pilgrim books!
Paj! Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Currently reading X-Force, which is entertaining, and I forgot it actually had like 30 issues I never read. Also reading the much more up my alley, Typhoid by Ann Nocenti. A little mini by the creator of Typhoid Mary herself (and apparently a prolific Daredevil writer - hadn't heard of her). Gorgeous, really dark, art and a cool story so far. I'd never really thought about Typhoid as a character before.
Paj! Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Oh I love how the Ultimate Spidey trades are alternating red and blue. I noticed that the other day in Forbidden Planet. What's Maximum Carnage like, Happenstance? I've only heard negative things.
Happenstance Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I actually need to read it again as it took me over a month to finish but from what I remember it wasnt brilliant at all.
ReZourceman Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Very nice collections guys. I'd never really thought about Typhoid as a character before. I bet I know why. of pure fear.
Paj! Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 No I use her all the time!! I love her so much in Heroclix. COME THE FUCK ON 4 RANGE! I love using shits who think they're great. But no, I realised I'd never read her in ANY comics ever. I know she's in the Bendis run of Daredevil, but I'm not there yet.
Happenstance Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I got an iPod Touch last week so decided to try the comic apps on there. Im actually suprised just how well they worked.

Happenstance Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Its awesome to see a team book that originally started out as a pisstake of the Justice League getting its own book. I wonder how people who arent fans are gonna react to the abrupt start to the comic.
