He fell off his ship and washed up on my beach.
I've had Astro City on my wishlist for a while and I'd like to get it sometime. What is it? Is it an ongoing? A bunch of vignettes and one-offs?
It's Kurt Busiek so I know it'll be good but I want to know what I'm getting into.
Welp I'm finally in the mood to read comics. Time to blaze through three oversized collections of TMNT I've been putting off.
Our real society has failed, and it's time to build a new society in Animal Crossing.Whelp if comics shops close, I suppose it's time for us to embrace motion comics.
nice clamshot

This is some filth I would say.

Marvel/DC not doing returns feels like they want to burn shit to be free from Diamond. Then again, that would also kill LCS shops
I feel like the only reasonable option is to cancel all standing orders; don't make the stores spend a dime on books they won't be able to sell for the whole duration. Bare minimum. Reduce the lines to a few digital-first titles if this lasts, in order to keep the talent working.If they do that a large number of shops will close permanently
I'm sorry, you think you can stop playing an Animal Crossing?I didn't talk to the Seagull yet. I just noticed him on my title screen after I stopped playing last night.
Astonishing X-Men is dirt cheap somewhereWhelp if comics shops close, I suppose it's time for us to embrace motion comics.
No lie that actually worked for getting me to jump on two books; Squadron Supreme and Uncanny AvengersI miss when Marvel would clearly mark the start of an arc, like so:
It's one guy so far to be fairEtc side making light of comic book shops shutting down and people losing their jobs
Remind me again why people make comic threads there?

Jen is on Otto Schmidt's tier of "get a book or stop" with the character fan art. With Otto it's the Birds of Prey

Also, here's the trade reading order (which is honestly less convoluted than the single issue numbering).

It's Kurt Busiek creating his own universe. So it's all of what you said. Mini-series, ongoings, one shots. He just pieces together the story of this one fantastical pastiche city which includes versions of Superman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and more.
You can start pretty much anywhere, but it's best to begin with Life in the Big City.
Worth saying, this book has existed for 20 years and Busiek also includes the answer of what happens with the passage of time for superheroes. It's very cool.
It's not necessarily "fan art" when freelance artists do that. They pay attention to what hits big on social media, and having art posts doing good numbers regularly helps build their audience. Makes them more attractive to more clients outside the normal Marvel and DC (clients that pay a lot more than a Marvel or DC), and these artists also have things like prints, stickers, pins, etc., that they sell directly to fans, so they just want as many followers as they can get.Jen is on Otto Schmidt's tier of "get a book or stop" with the character fan art.

It's only one guy who always shitposts.Etc side making light of comic book shops shutting down and people losing their jobs
Remind me again why people make comic threads there?
Yep, its amazingPut off reading TMNT for so long I forgot how stupid good this series is.
It's the perfect expression of TMNT, a gaggle of characters who can be dropped into any scenario and immediately make it work.
Yep, its amazing
Excited for the new series Eastman is doing with them
No, its a sequel series
With Jen I doubt its fan art. I bet this is her cover for Marvel Snapshot Storm or something like that. A variant for Giant Size X-Men Storm.
Okay but I stand by what I saidIt's not necessarily "fan art" when freelance artists do that. They pay attention to what hits big on social media, and having art posts doing good numbers regularly helps build their audience.

Got my WicDiv Vol. 4! ... which I ordered a week after the Uncanny X-Men omnibus that's still caught in shipping hell. Everything's all weird.
first time! i think im gonna do a full readthrough after i finish rat queens.have you read all of wicdiv or will this be the first time you seen the ending? Tell me what you think
Okay but I stand by what I said
I want a Birds of Prey series with Otto Schmidt on art
DC had their chance and didn't want it. Same as they had a chance to do a new Sirens series with Guillem March and rejected it
wrestling and shonen jumps! it's what this thread is all about!
