Since I haven't been keeping up with a lot of stuff, I stopped buying monthlies that I'm behind on. Waiting for sales to catch up on almost everything. That helps, at least.

You don't appreciate Giffen's turn of the century finger painting? :)

I was about to make my ShortBox order, but damn... importing indie comics from the UK is expensive. I'll have to cut something, and even then... I thought I was ready for this :(

Fuck. Has it really been eight years since Saga started running?

Yeah sales-wise the Hix-Men relaunch basically rejuvenated the X-Men brand, and has helped propel Marvel into capturing almost 50% of the direct market. DC has been trying out a bunch of different methods of producing and distributing comics with stuff like the Walmart Giants, digital firsts like DCEASED: World's End, and their Black Label/Kids imprints. With Didio gone I'm interested in seeing what their next relaunch will be like. They've had a couple writers on the sidelines they could bring in who would help improve the linewide quality.
At the very least it will hopefully mean the Titans can get revamped so they can stop being a dumpster fire.

One of the best comics ever created. Shows that there can be good comics sometimes. It's rare though.
Of course it needs to change. Comics are too expensive, on the production, distribution, and sales side of things. Their lunch is getting eaten by other sources, especially in regards to younger readers. And Diamond was some shit.
Problem is, the change is going to hurt. Look over at films: A big chain like AMC has absolutely fucked up in the handling of their theaters, leading to more folks wanting movies on digital platforms, but that's a whole different business model. And in that transition, theaters are going to hurt, theater owners and employees are going to hurt, and if you're dead set on the full theatrical experience for your work, you're SOL.
Not Diamond will eventually be better, hopefully, than Diamond's monopoly. But comic shop owners have been blindsided by a new system that at least at the moment, they believe will hurt their business. At a time when their business is already on its knees. Whether they're carriage owners in a time of automobiles remains to be seen, but in the meantime, it's not like digital picks up enough of the slack to say "fuck comic stores".
So, largely a mess all around.
Speaking of, is that Blackman/Williams III Batwoman omni still coming out this month? I needs it, my precious.

Hopefully the date sticks. It's one of the few upcoming omnis I've been looking forward to.
So DC will probably cancel it. 😂
Changing my tablet wallpaper is a thing I never got around to. I probably should. Artgerm stuff would pretty much all make great backgrounds.
Any fellow digital readers use a comic image on their devices?
I have Judge Dredd on my lock screen but at the moment it's after 10pm on a saturday night and I'm far too chill and lazy to do the screengrab. Just imagine it's excellent anyway.
Not on my tablet (I should find something).
But use this on my phone.
I tend to swing between wanting something striking and something very simple. Quite often I'll just set it to a very simple colour or basic pattern and then other times out comes Spider

Nice. I just reread Sandman last month. I still need to make headway in my Hellblazer collection.
My phone wallpaper is one of Annie Wu's Harley pieces actually. But I was thinking of changing it to a commission of mine that I've had.
I have illustrations by Tillie Walden (that aren't from any of her comics) as my lock screen and home screen.Any fellow digital readers use a comic image on their devices?

I just switched my phone wallpaper to Artgerm's Death Metal Harley.
I think I'm going to re-read all of Claremont X-men soon. It has been a long time since my first read and with all the DoX things going on I feel like I should go back to the classics as well
Don't worry, not going to miss a chance of touching their soft neck feathers
Everytime I have to go to Newsarama to look for news, I'm reminded that god hates us. We are forsaken.

Sobek
Minotaar
Tender artbook
Cat & Bag

Nice lol. That is sure to settle some people down lolol.
For my wallpaper, I use this cover from Terrifics:
The Hickman hype has actually been cooling off on the X-books, at least before the plague arrived. While X-Men was still doing really well, the rest had started to settle in to more regular numbers. Which is still great compared to what it was, but it still has been falling victim to the same trends as most relaunches. Hellions and Cable both opened significantly lower than the previous DoX titles too.
