Happenstance Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Hmmm, tempted to go to London on Wednesday and visit Forbidden Planet
Dante Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 DC RETROACTIVE: GREEN LANTERN – THE ‘70s #1 Artist Mike Grell and writer Dennis O’Neil return to the character of Hal Jordan in a new epic that finds the Earthborn Green Lantern on a spacefaring thrill.
ReZourceman Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Release date is December. Blacked out figure is Sinestro. ......So does this mean Sinestro is changing corps? I think he might be going back to the GLC.
Dan_Dare Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Nikos Koutsis, new (temp) colourist on Invincible for #79
ReZourceman Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Nikos Koutsis, new (temp) colourist on Invincible for #79 WTF. (Link R broken though. I need pixcczxz. Ah found it. Wow. Thats really nice. I was worried for a second there.
Dan_Dare Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah it's cool, eh? Catching up on Iron Man tonight before dinner with Mrs Dare and her visiting mother
ReZourceman Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Joking apart though dude.....don't go posting shit like that again without preceding it with "NOT CAUSE FOR CONCERN" :p. I am thankfully "picking up" today. There is some good stuff out. And is this the first time you're meeting parent mere? Good luck. Not that you'll need it. Charming bastard. :p
Dan_Dare Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Yep. I'm reading Iron Man first basically as a kind of last supper ritual in which I'm asked which comic books I'd like to read in my potential final hours.
ReZourceman Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) HA! Check out my wooping/and such. 0:47 is me "wooping" 2:05 "ooooohhh sick!!" Edited April 13, 2011 by ReZourceman
DomJcg Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 AHEM I have been missing out on comics due to the dreaded real life shiz aka my dissertation. It has come to my attention that something is wrong in the comic world, I've mentioned it before but it's getting worse. NOBODY IS BUYING COMICS ANYMORE!!! Secret Invasion sold 280,000 issues for issue one, I think fear itself will manage just over 100,000. Most of the comics sell between 50,000 to 25,000 and it's declining fast. What ideas do you people have that can be done about it?
Paj! Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Nothing. I am a comics fan (one of a relative few in the world compared to fans of...other things, IDK) and I don't buy comics. I can't afford it. I would buy a lot of graphic novels, though that has slowed due to to uni and other monetary commitments. The 20 pages or whatever just more often than not doesn't feel worth the 2.99/whatever price. I was always used to the UK "Collector's Edition" of getting 3 US comics in one issue for that price. Much better value. (Though I know time spent reading being short doesn't equal the time spent on each comic...)
bryanee Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I dont really buy comics anymore I just couldnt keep up with them so I wait until they are out in graphic novel form. Saying that I did buy the Return of Bruce Wayne series along with the Batman and Robin tie in. Oh I did just buy the first few issues of Batman Inc though which is awesome but as for everything else they can wait.
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 The companies have brought it on themselves as well anyway, writing every story now so its easily collected in trades, a lot of people like myself just find it easier to wait for the whole story. Plus as weve talked about before, the numbers these days dont reflect all sales like digital etc and until they do, shouldnt really be worried about.
ReZourceman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Also I think a big reason in Marvel's $3.99 price point. There are SHIT LOADS of stuff I would have ordered if it wasn't for that price point.
Dan_Dare Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Agreed. The price is basically what stops me buying. If I could walk in to a shop with a tenner and walk out with 5 or more singles, maybe I'd put down the cash but £3 for 22 pages just isn't worth it- especially when they're so easily damaged, too. Why would I bother when I can get the same books printed on better paper and in hardback a few months later? oh and for less money too.
Ellmeister Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Do I dare make a comment about you posting a man kissing a child picture?
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Yes, make the comment. He needs to learn not to litter the bestest thread on tinternet, especially with something so old and disturbing.
Magnus Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Do I dare make a comment about you posting a man kissing a child picture? At least now we know how those Facebook rumors started.
Happenstance Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 You know, the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was that it looks like he has a double ear.
