The library has been closed for a long time now, but I have books due back tomorrow. I assume they've had people emptying the drop boxes so they don't get overloaded, so I think I should walk down there and drop them off just in case. I just hope no morons try to come up and talk to me. I might drive just to avoid that, even though it isn't otherwise necessary to drive.

Just check their web page or call them. Our library asked us not to return any books.



Our annual Summer Game also has a new name. -_-

Guys, you should subscribe to Strange Brain Parts.

He does amazing commentary on Marvel Comics and DC Comics.



This commentary about The Fourth World basically summarises a lot of Jack Kirby's contributions at DC.

My library closed a couple weeks back and closed drop off, too. Their homepage says all fees will be waived and due dates don't matter till they open again. Does your library/your library district homepage have info like that?
I'll check again, and look on the website, but the email I got from them about all of this was mostly trying to tell proof about Hoopla and Libby, and talking about how their monthly checkout limit for Hoopla has been increased.

I think they're only officially closed for all of this through the end of March (meaning today), so I feel like another closure announcement may be coming very soon.

This is almost as mean as people suggesting Messi to read Bleach
Ive only seen like a couple episodes of Bleach, never read any of the manga. So I cant compare, but I really enjoyed Naruto (the manga) until I stopped around the Pain stuff. I was joking when I said that we should read it, but I dunno. Messi might enjoy the first few arcs. Like up through the chunin exam stuff at least.

This title is deceptive (they mean digital FIRST comics), so don't get too excited, but here's what DC is putting on Comixology, including back catalog issues:

I'm kinda excited about Detective Comics #356 going up cause I've wanted to read the first Alfred death/Outsider story for a while, but those issues were never on CMX.

They usually increase the percent off each week during these sales right? Got my eye on a couple of those Absolutes, like Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and the Shang-Chi omnis. But I can wait and see if they ever get cheaper.

if they linger, which the oversized books rarely do, they can see a price drop in some weeks. the last sale they did, only two omnibi/absolutets lasted past a week out of probably 100+.

As someone who since the new 52 started has only read digitally and in trades, it feels like the physical comic shop is living on borrowed time thanks to diamond.

Warframe lol, now that's a game I haven't heard of in awhile. I've been sucked down the rabbit hole in Dragalia Lost myself.


If we have any Scrubs fans here, Zach and Donald started a podcast! It's called Fake Doctors, Real Friends. Still not up on iTunes, but it's on other places.

I read a chunk of the Heroes Reborn omni to help me sleep last night. That's where I'm at with comics right now.

Yeah it's still alive lol. I'm coming up on playing it for 2 years soon in May. Titania just got her prime release which I don't care about. I'm patiently waiting for my boy's Nidus and Harrow to get their prime's released next year.
