The Comicbook thread Pt. IX

[Kalfear]

Welp I been collecting

 

KotOR

Legacy

and now

Dark Times

 

just to get my SW fix.

 

KotOR is really becoming interesting and by far the best of the 3

 

LEgacy has been OK but I gotta admit I hate anything Skywalker so was about to cancel it until Nihlus made a appearance this last issue.

 

Dark Times is new and appearently getting ALOT of buzz. I gotta say I wasnt to impressed with the first issue (mainly the art). The aleins in this series just look like animals being drawn as humanoids which has always bugged me. Complete with a Rat character called Ratty (rolls eyes). Also the story didnt grab me like KotOR did so its a definatel wait and see title on if ill keep collecting it.

 

I miss collecting comics, back in the 80s I had no less then 15 titles on file for myself each month but with comics now costing $5.00 each thats impossible to do (which is a shame). 3 of them costing me $15.00/month which is more then enough to pay IMO!

Just got the trade of Desolation Jones. Awesome. Thats all I can say. Me and my girlfriend are going to Comic Con next year because Warren Ellis will be there for the first time in 8 years, and likely won't be going for at least another 8.

[Calax]

Hmmm I might be willing to go.

 

Also Onslaught Reborn has just started off. (Jeph Loeb and Rob Liefield)

Also I take it your reading Nextwave?

 

:sigh: can't find the cover from the "not a cival war tie in" issue.

I've read the first issue and laughed my ass off. I have the rest downloaded, and I'll be picking up the trade when it comes out.

 

Oh, here's from the latest email from Warren Ellis on Bad Signal:

 

bad signal

WARREN ELLIS

 

quick note before sinking back into the work morass to mention

that NEXTWAVE #10 comes out in the US tomorrow, and that

it's a bit... odd.  Um.  Yes.  It's definitely a bit  odd.  I didn't feel

quite right in the headguts while writing it.  And I think I'd

probably just read Brendan McCarthy's issue of SOLO, and... yeah.

 

Sorry.

I like Nextwave, I just don't think it can keep being amusing for much longer

[Calax]

Just wanted to revive this to say that I think that Daniel Way (of Wolverine Origins fame) is going to get canned soon.

 

the two highest profile things have been him telling a fan that he didn't care what fans thought because his book still sold, then he put the derogitory term for a gay man down under a posters title because the guy gave an honest unbiased review of Origins on Way's board. and most recently,

Doesn't have to, its ending at issue 12. Warren Ellis wanted to do another 12 issues, but he would only do it with the current artist. That artist had contractual obligations to do other stuff I believe, so they just ended it. Apparently the editors at Marvel apparently loved it, and in Warren's words "... begged me to do another series that won't sell"

 

I loved Aaron Stack as an insurance claims adjustor.

sandman is widely reguarded as one of the best comics of the ninties.

 

I have every trade.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can't believe you guys FORCED me to buy a graphic novel written by a GAIMAN!

 

[/joke in incredibly poor taste]

[Baley]

You should have just gotten The Wolves in The Walls, and maybe American Gods.

[metadigital]

Now you tell me. Though I bet it would be far too arty for my taste.

[Baley]

It's a children's book - sort of.

[metadigital]

Hey, that's not too bad. I was expecting something painfully arty; y'know, like "I suffer for my art so now it's your turn," type thing.

[Baley]

[Walsingham]

The Wolves in the Walls is a surefire win gift for all arty women.

[Calax]

actually baley is pretty much right on the money with the way sandman went.

[metadigital]

Well, I only bought the first volume in hardcover. Hopefully it will be worth reading.

the first one actually has a constant plot line. the others... get... random. the series culminates with his suicide and his replacement.

[metadigital]

I struggling to see how you would think that bit of information would be anything except a spoiler.

[kirottu]

Thanks Calax!

[Baley]

I, for one, prefer to see it as "saving you the trouble, grief, and assorted diddly-gothness".

[metadigital]

I could just keep the volume bound up in plastic and sell it in a few years as a collector's item, I suppose.

[Calax]

the reason most people like it is because of what happens between the start and the end. And the character design. After all its not every day
