With this perfect atmosphere, Taiki is preparing to tell her something important-when he's interrupted by Chinatsu's former teammate! The venom Yumeka unleashes on Chinatsu leaves Taiki stunned. Who exactly is Yumeka, and what ruined her seemingly unbreakable friendship with Chinatsu?
Oshi no Ko Vol 6 By Akasaka - The 2.5D Play Arc draws closer to the main event! The original creator of the Tokyo Blade manga, Abiko Samejima, rejected all the theatrical scripts by the writer, GOA. But they've finally reached an agreement-and the result is a script sharply focused on the actors' performances?! Aqua Hoshino, who had been seeking out "emotional acting," will have to face his deep trauma surrounding Ai...?
Thanks for the OT!!
I can't imagine Henderson has any desire or need to go back to the monthly comics grind, but if she did an arc or something on Harley I'd buy it. The annual was a ton of fun.

I think she's making bank on those ogns but yeah she really gets Harley without going to the usual stuff people do. Plus I adore her art.
Yeah it seems like her and Alex de Campi always have something cooking now, which isn't a bad thing! I've loved both their books.

Did you read her OGN with Ryan North? Danger and other unknown risks. I thought that was fantastic.

There's a new novel out now called the Living Force that's set just before episode 1, I'm about 3/4 of the way through and it am enjoying it quite a bit. It focuses on the Council as a whole on a mission offworld from Coruscant.
Just picked it up myself! Currently though im reading the Master and Apprentice book. Alil over half way in atm, its a lot of fun.
I like the prequel era a lot, but i havent seen any of the animated series stuff.
I haven't read that one, I'll have to check it out.
Clone Wars and Bad Batch are some of my favorite Star Wars releases period. I too love the prequel era.
The big hook for the Master and Apprentice book, beyond seeing Qui Gon and Obi Wan together, is that it delves into Qui Gon's deal with prophecy.
BLOODHUNT was cool, curious enough to keep reading it
Vengeance of Moon Knight was cool too. I wonder if this event will end with the proper MK returning now...
Yeah, I'm thinking about dropping Hulk. Just not grabbing me anymore.
Immortal Thor was pretty fun, shame the art wasn't so hot on this issue.

So nothing about the part where the Force impregnates Shmi Skywalker?
Holy shit man. I'm a bit of a defender of Frank Miller's art (not his beliefs), but Miller + Alex Sinclair doing Uncle Scrooge has to be one of the most dogshit covers I've ever seen in my life.
That Destroyer Duck cover is way cooler, no contest.
I feel like you've probably made it as an artist once people start saying "it's probably shit on purpose" about most of your work past a certain time period.

Walked to Target on my lunch and picked up the exclusive cover edition of Batman The Winning Card. Usually $20 for what amounts to an oversized floppy is a bit steep but I loved the story and art and the fact it's hardcover with an exclusive cover was too good a get.

ROFL I saw the book in the store today and someone in the book section had a ball putting googly-eye stickers on book covers. 🤣

For some reason my local shop had everything except the Star Wars young Jedi one. They were charging $10 for the foil variant absolute power, and $5 for the sketch variant
$50, plus shipping. I take my vampires very seriously. Probably gonna do the same for the other 4.
Had a little fun trip today. Wanted to head up north a bit anyway. Forgot it was FCBD, so picked a shop that I went to last year that I thought was pretty neat. Ended up heading back there and had a quick sidetrack.
I took a look at the yellow thing was in there and saw this...
One of the towns nearby pretty much entirely turns into an event for FCBD. Think of a town out of a Stephen King book that has hundreds of people dressed up checking out all the local shops. The comic book store is TINY and they still packed everything. Here was my haul.

They had a few cool ones, but I was drawn to that one. Reminded me of a small arcade marquee.
It's really not out of the ordinary. Especially with incentive covers that require a shop to buy X number of copies to be able to order 1 copy of a variant. Lots of shops will buy them and sell the variant at aftermarket prices.
awesome 🤩 glad to see free comic book day struck some excitement for what's currently being published in you. sometimes it's just great to see folk who don't post here often being excited about something they've read. <3So, after reading Blood Hunt #1, I just double dipped and bought the red band variant version for $50.
