I dunno if I could read that Slaughterhouse Five comic before actually reading the Vonnegut novel. That just seems cosmically wrong.
I bet you read the Jurassic Park novel before watching the movie, too.
The novel is quite good, so I'd definitely recommend checking it out. I liked it a lot more than Breakfast of Champions and about as much as Cat's Cradle.
I've got Crying of Lot 49 on my Kindle. I didn't get far in it. I gotta give that another go.
That feeling doesn't apply to all books/authors/source-media.
vonnegut's dead and north's got bills to pay. i'm sure vonnegut would be fine with reading the comic first.
I just finished the book I was reading. Downloaded a few samples from Amazon to see what I want to pick up next. Tried American Dirt, and Mexican Gothic so far. Not really into either. Gonna check out Gideon the Ninth and The First Sister next.
stupid fun fact, guy that wrote that comic Chris Sims, also a writer on the Iron Man VR game that just came out.
Nothing gets ComicEra hard like an omnibus.guess those black hammer tomes have got lemire addicted to hardcovers.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with adapting it. I'll be excited to read it and see the old movie once I get the book done.
Yea, im enjoying it for the most part. Dystopian world where most of the human race was wiped out by a plague, the rest were either turned into cattle for vampires, or were in hiding. Theres an elite family in Japan that has somehow figured out how to bond demons to weapons, so they have enough power to fight the vampires. Then the series is about a boy who is clearly part angel, but is bonded with a demon after earning his cursed gear weapon, after escaping the vampires lol. Then it becomes about forming bonds with people and the uglyness of humanity and their greed. and human experimentation.
My biggest complaint so far is the fight scenes are over too fast and are sometimes hard to see whats going on.
that seems rad i'll have to check it out
huh that looks like a lot of magical nonsense but it does sound interesting
Finished the first collection edition. This series is fantastic.
It constantly keeps you on your toes with plot developments, the pacing it great in that respect. All of the locations they go to are really interesting and there's alway some crazy sci-fi concept in there.
None of the cast feels under developed, they all got their own thing going on and are always advancing.
Can't wait to get volume 2 in to continue the story.
Whoa, I hadn't thought about Chris Sims in awhile. I loved his articles on Comics Alliance, so I should check it out.
Speaking of skating, I think I have to get Tony Hawk tomorrow instead of Avengers. I spent sooo many hours playing 1 and especially 2 on my original PS and I'm so excited it has pretty much the entire soundtrack. I'm looking forward to losing track of time all over again.

I'll take a fresh pic in a minute!
Oh come on. I have too much to read / watch / play as it is.
Okay so my continuing Saga of reading Rebirth.
Action Comics and Superman, got to issues 37 of Superman and 999 of Action. For the most part really liked them. Didn't like the return of
Did like what they did with the continuity though.
However I'm reading Titans Rebirth and I'm confused. Issue 22 is the Brotherhood of Evil plot and then issue 23 has a new team and is continuing on a new story arch?
What am I missing?

Manchester Black. Mainly because I didn't like what they did to the setting the book was using. And Black's return should be bigger than that. But I said similar things about Eradicator and Doomsday.

From the Comixology issue description, #23 is spinning out of Justice League: No Justice, which is a miniseries Scott Snyder did to set up his Justice League series.
I don't remember what it did to set up the Titans team, if anything.
It also mentions Teen Titans #20. Maybe that's important.
edit: Oh. Titans Annual #2 comes between #22 and #23, if you missed it.
I didn't actually read any Titans or Teen Titans apart from Deathstroke crossovers, so that's all the help I got 😂
Alright. Photos come with my routine fine print that I only put on the shelf the books that I've opened and read. Everything else I keep unceremoniously lined up in a very non-photogenic way, so I don't want to take pics of those. I'll just say that my backlog is about 70 books right now. As of my last count. RIP me. Oh yes, those empty shelves shall be filled.
Backlog includes all of Hellboy+BPRD, all of Sandman's Absolutes, a ton of Batman, a ton of Spider-Man, a ton of Daredevil, a bunch of X-Men, the rest of Brubaker, the 5 Johns Green Lanterns, all of the Terry Moore hardcovers. I'll get there. It'll all be shelved eventually.
That said...
That will teach me to read the description.
Edit - And if I go to the actual series instead of searching each issue individually, I see Titans Annual is where #22 story continues.

I just edited in that there's Titans Annual #2 between 22 and 23. That may be all you're missing.
What is Spy X Family doing on that bottom shelf bluexy. -_-
Those book cases look nice and space-saving.

I keep forgetting that's tomorrow! Nice, I'll try and watch all 3 tomorrow. I'm really into Cobra Kai and have 3 or 4 episodes of the first season of that as well. Both shows went from something I had no interest in to being much, much better then I expected.
That's a great collection, it gives me anxiety thinking about moving it though lolAlright. Photos come with my routine fine print that I only put on the shelf the books that I've opened and read.

i have a healthy collection of non-picture books that I've moved across state lines several times, so i'm definitely used to it. but with all these omnibus i'm def nervous about future moves. gonna be so many heavy boxes. if strongman aizo-san is having a tough time, i know I'll have it rough, too. I'll definitely need a uhaul cargo trailer. and to keep up with my ring fit back exercises, lol.
Here's my collection. Posted it as a video so I don't spam the thread with like 20 photos. It doesn't have talking or anything so you don't have to listen. Just realized a couple of the photos are out of order, but oh well. They still show everything.
Can't remember if I have more books or less than last time I posted my collection. I've gotten rid of a decent amount, but I've also bought some. Probably pretty similar.
