Is that like a Japanese Megg & Mogg?
I need to finish that series. Coolest character in the New Age line, imo
Kinda? Seems like day to day events for the lead character but there is this ticker at the bottom of each strip that says 'This Croc will die in X days'. And they are counting down from 100. One strip per day.
So there's this constant tension that builds for even mundane strips.
Another wayward soul has discovered the beacon of hope that is Shonen Jumps.
I'm trying to read actual books these days.
The only thing that seems to hold my attention is John Dies At The End.
I'm working on a sci-fi novel between bouts of my Dr. Stone binge.
The thing I hate about comics is that they're a terrible value. $4 for 30 pages is dog shit.

I need to get back into writing sometime. It's been forever and I have huge problems staying motivated. The first time I was criticized, constructively and as gently as possible, it put me in a big funk.

I'm rereading Harleen and it's so good. The sick feeling in my stomach while reading it is a testament to Sejic 😂. I feel so sorry for Harleen and it's horrible seeing the whole thing happen. But it's brilliantly told. There is nothing romantic about it which makes me laugh thinking about the people who gave him shit on twitter for romanticizing Harley and Jokers relationship.
Also you understand why it happens but it also doesn't excuse Harleen. It very much shows her as someone who turns into a psychopath. Early on she calls herself a murderer. I don't remember DC being that blunt before. Sejic said he wants to tell a story where you can understand why she fell for him, how it is bad for her and how it fell apart and what that does to her. But by no means is she a hero, she's fundamentally broken.
To me it's already one of Harleys classic stories (there aren't many tbh). I can't wait for more and this hardcover is the best way to read it

Yea I particularly loved the final page of the book, which kind of cements the core intent in a clever bit of art and dialogue.
BTW did anyone read the Wonder Woman Black Label book? It was recommended to me, but I know nothing about it.

It's Daniel Warren Johnson so yes it's incredible. The art is nuts in the first two issues.
30 pages of art for $4 isn't that crazy to me.

Still waiting for Wonder Woman Historia to see the light of day.
Bloody Phil Jimenez keeps teasing his brilliant designs on insta and twitter.

Heh yea that name definitely came up in discussion. I'm unfamiliar with him so will look into it.

Buy Extremity and Murder Falcon also. Both very good by him.
Yea Extremity was recommended in the same conversation as well. Will add them to the CMX wishlist. Thanks.
Comics. There is no end...
Oh, he's gonna do the art for the whole run? For some reason I thought he was just gonna do an issue or two.
I'll have to get that just for his art.

It's an oversized (page and content) 4 issue series written and drawn by him.
Cool. 🤷♂️
I'm just saying the pricing absolutely limits how many books I buy each week. Not because I can't afford it, but because I'm only willing to throw away so much money every week on these things.
I mean, I agree with you that it limits how much I buy. But it's not like it's 30 pages of words like a short story or something.
Of course, the medium has its own issues, like highly decompressed storytelling. I think that's the main thing that makes it feel like I'm not getting my money's worth. There are certainly some books I read and think, "yup, definitely got my $4 worth there." And then there are Bendis books.
These. The guy seems to do no wrong with comics. Incredible artist and great writer.
Sure. And you're going to have a bad time if you follow a series just because you bought the previous issues. Following creators that you have a fondness for is a better approach. Because chances are when that guy you like leaves the book you're reading, it's going to turn to shit.
No way it won't.
That was a good book that ended way too abruptly. It definitely could have used another arc or two.

It absolutely will. It will get a HC the same size as Harleen as they are the same dimensions.

He got Friendzoned.LOL. Our little lad Fone Bone is smitten as can be.
Finished the X-Men of the week. Both Wolverine #1 and Marauders #8 were great. Better than great. I loved 'em. I wish I had an omnibus already so I could just keep reading.
Wolverine did such a good job of making it clear how much of a good guy he is, but also how uncontrollably dangerous. Kind to his friends and a machine of death to his enemies. I didn't like the way the first story started. I don't like how often that happens in Hickman's X-Men period. But it was a very good after that. The second story was excellent too. Most especially Wolverine's interactions with him. They made him super imposing and nightmarish. Compared to the other villains who have been shown, Wolverine managed to make him look like a genuine villain still. I'm not so into the other bad guys in the second story, but it still developed well and hints at cool things happening in the future. All around well told, which is all I need.

Is this like Pun Pun where we see a bird but he's not a bird, he's a real boy. If not this is a bit like sonic and that lady.
Also read the two most recent Marauders. Caselli is great on art and loved the issues.
Bone is a classic. You should read it. It will not make you cry, except maybe from happiness.
I think he's legitimately a strange creature that nobody in this world has seen before, so I assume they see him the way we do. But I'm early in, so somebody else may have a better answer.

He's not the only one, there's also Smiley Bone and Phoney Bone. They are from Boneville, where I'm sure everyone looks like that.
it's very intentionally a meeting of two different comic styles. like the Bones are from a Calvin & Hobbes or sunday funny pages comic and the setting + story they find themselves in is a budding adventure fantasy. they come together incredibly well.
