I don't know about you but when I read watchmen for the first time all I thought was "damn I want this dr manhattan dude in a monster truck with Batman emblems or something"

The book is going to have an actual Bat-Dinosaur, or Bat-Rex, lol. How on earth could that be bad!?

I don't buy event books anymore lol
What would you say if I told you that Shonen Jumps are one giant event?
You mean like Marvel's website or their app?

Their app is made/operated by CMX, and Marvel accounts link to CMX accounts.

Zdarsky's Marvel books are on sale right now, and there's also a Marvel BOGO, so those books are on double sale.
I just looked at the website. I never used the app. I didn't realize their codes worked on CMX.

A wasp decided to move into my computer room so I closed the door and trapped it. Some of my comics were in there but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Kevin Smith did a Spider-Man story lol? How did I not know about that.

My quarantine reading is: Brubaker's Daredevil, Brubaker's Cap, PAD's Young Justice, and just started DMZ today.

Because it's infamously bad and put rape into Black Cat's backstory. So everyone was like nah, no thanks

So its Kevin Smith's Battle Chasers, but with rape.

Seems like Green Arrow is the only Kevin Smith book that has really lasted the test of time. Dont hear enough about his Green Hornet though.

bluexy or anyone else interested, you can pre-order some omnis right now for 50% off from DCBS. (its another part of IST) Theyve got the Legion of Super Heroes Five Years Later omni for $75 and the Absolute Swamp Thing for $50. They also have the Hellsing Deluxe up for pre order too.

This is the first I've heard of DCBS. I checked them out and I'm thinking of pre-ordering the Uncanny X-Men Vol. 2 omnibus reprint scheduled for later this year. Since it's a part of IST am I safe in assuming their shipping & packing quality is just as good?

I've only ever ordered statues from DCBS, but it's pretty much the same as how IST ships the larger books.

I'm thinking of trying to play a game that isn't Overwatch. Would Persona 5 be a good choice for me?

With what looks like a smaller and smaller number IST seem to be stocking week 1 for omnis, maybe DCBS is the way to go. Even if they charge me early, at least the 50% off is guaranteed.

What's the shipping cost at DCBS?

I added the Uncanny X-Men omnibus to my cart and it's $50 + 7.50 shipping + 2.65 tax.

it's the most well-realized version of the simplified Shin Megami Tensei battle mechanics the Persona series has been using, but the story kinda drops the ball, and dips into katsura hashino's occasional blatant homophobia; I liked it a lot, and I also think it's not for you

Oh ok, well that's disappointing. I like the look of the characters :( but I'm not down with homophobia

Purchase a copy of Outer Wilds and have fun. If you haven't played that.

He would hate that even more than Persona. Outer WORLDS on the other hand, maybe. He would definitely like Parvati (because everyone likes Parvati).

If Messi had a PC, I'd tell him "log into Twitch and pray you get a Valorant key this weekend" since that's essentially Overwatch by Riot. AFAIK he only has an Xbox, which makes things significantly harder.

Hmmmmm. Yakuza 0 is on Game Pass, that game's great. I came into the franchise cold and ended up loving it. And it's extremely anime in terms of tone and story. As someone who thought it was more like Sleeping Dogs, it's surprisingly funny and charming. Every member of the cast is ACTING~! to the extreme, it's great.

Aw then no Outer Wilds suggestion then. I haven't played Outer Worlds though I have heard that is good. Sleeping Dogs is wonderful and is another good suggestion.
I tried it and I only liked one of the companions, Parvatti was her name?
Outer WILDS not Outer WORLDS. These two games are forever going to be confused with each-other.

Valorant seems way more Counter Strike than Overwatch to me. I hope im wrong, but it just doesnt seem like they went far enough into the unique character angle of the game. Im still looking forward to it, but I just dont think its going to be the massive hit that they are probably expecting it to be.

It's a Riot game. It will be gigantic everywhere except here, where it will have an eight-page thread and a Discord that gets one post every three months. Just the way things are on ERA. Tarkov is one of the biggest games in the world atm, the OT is about four pages but we are on like our 20th Destiny 2 OT (I like Destiny a lot but it has always been a bizarre outlier on this forum).

it's a hybrid but i'd say more counter-strike than overwatch. the abilities make it much more dynamic than cs, but there's still that "I can win this game entirely by myself just by knowing angles" gameplay.

I think it looks like something I'd actively dislike. Overwatch is the first multiplayer game I've enjoyed in many years.

No, ive only seen the reveal and like some random clips of the devs playing. I used to love CS before Go, but I dont know if I have that in me anymore lol.

Yea, it looks like its going to be for the super hard core.

Valorant will be the next game with a bunch of cute girls that people will draw on Twitter, and I'll love and protect all of them, but never play the game those girls are from in a million years.

See also: League of Legends, Fate/Grand Order, Arknights, Azur Lane, etc.

You could always play the league of legends card game, it's pretty fun

Apex Legends was supposed to be that game. The fan art never really took off for that one the way it did for OW, though.
