NZ has essentially gone into lockdown with only 6 cases, so I think we're doing OK for now, I hope that the govt is using this time well to prepare because it's gonna hit us eventually.
I'm not scared of it although obviously I want to avoid contracting it and spreading it if at all possible.
If I end up having to cancel plans and stay home, well, that's all right with me
Hey! I have an NZ friend!
And we're NOT okay, cause that Faith No More concert is gonna be cancelled!

Ireland here. In an at-risk group, so worried enough, worried about my elderly Mam as well. All schools and colleges are closed here. Washing hands about what feels like 25 times a day, to the point I have started using hand moisturizer on top of my regular skincare routine.
I miss being able to go for a walk whenever, but I'm coping well enough. Hoping to do some daytime streaming (I've wanted to for awhile, and I feel less bad about it now that most of my friends are work-from-home), and other than that I'm reading, working on my LEGO backlog, and taking an online coding course in the evenings. Bought Diablo III on Switch to try and spend some time off the news cycle as well. Need to go for a shop in a day or two and planning it like a military exercise.
Ah that sucks! I saw them at that Westfest a few years back! They played a fair bit of newer stuff I didn't know but it was still good. I wish more bands would do that thing where they play an album live from start to finish so you know what you're getting into.
I guess Chelsea Wolfe will cancel again :( I wonder what else will get cancelled that I'm forgetting
But Dexter Soy drawing dope ass fight scenes tho
That's never a bad decision
Unless it's Hawk and Dove
Then it can be
Everything international will be. Nobody is going to isolate for two weeks just to play a gig here.
I went to the Weyes Blood/Aldous Harding gig last night, and I'm assuming that'll be the last international concert I can see all year.
We joke about Knull, but the current Venom by Donny Cates is legit fire
More like a spin-off. There's two threads in it at the moment: Red Hood, Cass Cain and Jim Gordon in one, and Deathstroke, Ravager, Vandal Savage and a bunch of other villains in the other. I enjoyed the first issue, tho there's a pretty major continuity error if you have read the original series.
Don't think I was paying attention then. What was the continuity error?
When Jason enters the Batcave, there's three bodies on the ground. One of them should be Tim, but Damian is there instead despite surviving the original series.
Ahhhh likely an artist mistake then
Doesn't Damian's vital signs still show as green?
One day we'll realize the average 90s comic wasn't any worse than the stuff we put out today.
The Dark Age of Comics lasted a hot minute but it's the one thing everyone still wants to harp on, like it wasn't just capitulating to the audience that should be reading comics in the first place.

I started reading Thor again after dropping off since the Jane change back and hearing it was awful. But it's not and actually quite enjoyable. I'm definitely not looking forward to WOTR because it should've happened maybe a year or 2 into Aaron's run but at least it has Daughtermann art. Another hot take: I'm enjoying Aaron's Avengers maybe more then Snyder's JL, which lost me with that garbage Aquaman story. At least it has Namor which is always amazing.
1.00 is still too much. I need those .25 comics for my tp.

I can agree with this. A lot of the hate towards 90's comics are probably their rampant sexism and trying to one up each other with guns and gore. Not everyone was able to read Bone and Sandman back then. There was plenty of good to go with the bad and no Comicsgate so the 90's have that.
It doesn't look exactly the same but I totally see Pickles from Bojack Horseman in that picture.
I was going to. Still might go tomorrow.
So I started reading Black Hammer, and as someone that hasn't really dug much of Lemire's stuff before (outside of the Black Label Question series he's doing right now), this absolutely whips.
Oh no, I get that and it's deserved. I meant everything after Jane Thor.
I see the way some folks have turned on Aaron, and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I'm not saying I loved every single issue of his Thor epic, but I loved it all the way through in general, from God of Thunder, through Jane, War of the Realms, King Thor, and even Valkyrie. Jason Aaron is still great, other than his Avengers. But even that is great once in a while.
Edit: To clarify, I don't think anyone is wrong if they don't like his work anymore. I'm just surprised how many people who used to like the run eventually turned on it, when I didn't really see a decline myself.
THANK YOU! I felt like I was the only one taking crazy pills. Everyone was super into Aaron when he started Thor and I honestly haven't felt differently since then. I'm even looking forward to Dario in Thor 4.
edit:after seeing aimless post: I think everyone is right for turning on it but it's just not for me.

yar folk just being hyperbolic, it seems. aaron is fine. his Thor is largely brilliant, though I haven't much enjoyed anything from WotR on. but he's still solid at worst.
Yeah I definitely don't see WOTR being worse, mainly just not necessary.
Ive been eyeballing that first Hardcover every time I order from IST.
How long is the series? Is it still ongoing? I know there are spin offs?
yar, ongoing. and lots of spin-offs, with a lot more on the way. if you just bought the first book though, you'd get the best of it. those first 12 issues are brilliant. and while they don't "wrap things up" so to speak, if you decided to stop it'd be a provactive and solid ending.
I just don't like his Avengers right now. He has a good premise, but his delivery is weak right now on a lot of levels, and given his Thor, and his Astonishing Spider-Man and Wolverine, it's disappointing.
