I need to miss out on some things! This is going to be a busy year for a variety of reasons, and I need to be disciplined with my social media/forum time.
Thats right, shooting yourself (in the foot) not joining the discordian!
I saw this while checking Era at college and I have no idea what to make of this and I don't want to know.
Oh dang. 💦
Crush my windpipe, ma'am.
oooh Immortal Hulk vol 1-5 for $11.25 plus tax with that sale
I may have a ton of free time with this covid stuff and my job at a high school

I'll tell you anyway. That's Nintendo's new fitness game that comes with a resistance ring.
Luckily I haven't crushed my moobs in mine yet.
This is a baldfaced lie, but it warms my heart to see it.
You fuckers dont even deserve the spoilers I could post about all the sick fucking action in Bloodshot.
the people cates is retweeting are exactly the kind of people i think of as Carnage fans.
How many of the Jim Lee Chris Claremont X-Men omnis are there? Is it just the two? Cant decide if I want to get them or not since I literally just read their entire run last year.
I didnt see the New Warriors reprint omni or the Thunderbolts omni in the Near Mint Advance previews for Oct and Nov. Maybe they are coming out in December, I just hope they make it out before Christmas.

Two 'Lee' Omni's, but the X-Tinction Agenda event OHC sits right between them and is not collected in either. It's also really good and worth reading at the gap.
Uhhhh... watDidn't see this earlier but King tweeted and deleted this
Jesus. Coronavirus and Watchmen in 2020....what a shitty year.
This image won't load for me.Didn't see this earlier but King tweeted and deleted this
I know there were some portents in the thread about Slott's FF. I should have paid more attention and heeded the warnings. This is dire. Flatter than an open can of Mountain Dew left out overnight.
They can claim delaying New Mutants is because of the Coronavirus, but we all know it's because Magik is too perfect and all the MCU X-Men casting will look like shit in comparison.
how far did you make it? Just curious if it gets better lol.
2 issues. 😔 There's some big bad who wiped out a few universes and I don't even care to read the next issue to see how she is defeated.
Oh lol. I want to read the current arc, which is supposed to change their origin story in some way. Just been tied up with Daredevil.
I just finished the first Criminal Deluxe Edition from Icon and, as y'all know. I absolutely love this series. It's surprising to me and I hope it's surprising to folk who have read my tastes. Criminal isn't about anything. It doesn't have a message, though it is deeply ingrained in the ideas of good and wrong and redemption and so on. I burn for messages, but Criminal actively avoids having a message. In fact, this first Deluxe even actively avoids having even conclusions. So much is left unsaid or unfinished both between the pages and at the end of each story. But that's also why I love it.
Criminal is all about characters. It's not enough to say these are broken people. These are broken people who have been placed into situations from which there's no returning. They change due to their situations. They've broken and are bending to accommodate their brokenness. And as the stories in the first Deluxe Edition show, there's no happy endings in store for these people. They looks for outs and opportunities, perceive the kinds of people they could be, the values they wished they espoused, but they aren't capable of attaining those things. They're ideas meant for people who aren't broken. For these characters, those ideas are a mirage. But really they all know that and they all know the truth in their hearts -- that they're just billiard balls rolling out the paths from which they're inevitably moving towards.
While it sounds like what could be the most depressing shit ever, that's where Brubaker's talent comes in. He takes what could just be viewed as a death march and turns it into something so intimate. He conveys the deepest thoughts, hopes, hatreds of these people's lives in a way that's honest, introspective, and so excellent at building empathy. That these individuals' fates are doomed matters so much less than being there with them.
Sean Phillips art does a great job of creating a realistic perspective for these stories while still maintaining a layer of the surreal so that it doesn't become disturbing. The result is incredible, though I'll admit that his more recent stuff is much more impressive than this earlier Criminal work.
What else can I say? Criminal isn't just a comic about heists. It's about people. Not necessarily so much different than anyone else. Surprisingly similar to each other in ways they'll never admit.
