Didn't you like get it signed and have it on a literal pedestal?
My local comic book shop had the deluxe edition of Lost Girls on sale for a while, for like 50% off, and I feel like even having it on the shelf was entrapment. It went away one day so I assume someone bought it, and I think it'd be funny if it was someone who had no idea about the actual content and just knew him as "the Watchmen guy."
I won't say I haven't been tempted to give it a try as I am an unashamed Moore Lover, but there's so much by him I haven't read that isn't, uhh, that, so I'll continue to give that stuff priority.

I think Moore is annoying now, and never thought Lost Girls was anything I wanted to check out, but his top tier work (Swamp Thing, Watchmen, TKJ, his GL stuff) really is impressive, IMO. Not sure why it would be snobby to have an honest/positive reaction to something well crafted. I'm not sure I'd put him on a pedestal, but he'd definitely be in my top 4 or 5 writers of all time.
Eh, I'm going to be "that guy" and say that I feel that within the past decade or so I've seen it swing both ways.
There is certainly a contingent of Moore fans who seemingly just do not want to engage with anything even mildy critical of his work (and I say that as a pretty huge Moore fan myself), but I've also feel like some folks got weirdly prickly and defensive when Moore basically made it clear he was done with the Big Two and with cape books in general.

It might drive them away from comics forever. Be doing them a favor tbh
I despise comics, and yet, I keep sinking money and my hours into them.
I'd still consider myself a fan of Moore, but I've never read Lost Girls and I dropped off his Lovecraftian horror series (wrote about it in here a few years ago) like halfway into Providence because it disgusted me.

The hardcover Deluxe Editions are lovely, though. I think compendiums are pretty much for people who just want to binge the series and not have a nice book sitting on the shelf.
When they refuse to reprint them I'll take what I can get.

Think about that, our fearless leader was nearly taken out

Billy's weak ass can't hold that many comic books! Billy is a son of a bitch.
I finished Danger Street. I liked it more than I expected and left wanting to read more Lady Cop, which is certainly not something I anticipated.
I wonder if he said Hodor (Hodoshelf) as he gave out.

Funniest thing I've ever heard.

Hey, did anyone buy that Marvel Micronauts omnibus? I'm curious. Just not curious enough to drop $70 on a curiosity.
I didn't think this video would be relevant, but you may be interested in someone going over the book.

Review wise, Nightwing had a remarkably quiet legacy issue, yet it was meant to establish all his allies over the years (as well as a few real life cameos). It's not much, but it was meant to have the superhero and the person at his highest pedestal... just as the villains are getting ready to knock him off it.
We git a good showcase of nrwcomer Star in Spider-Woman. I thought it was a nice refresher for people who may not be familiar to her and it's only natural she'd go after the best friend of her most hated enemy. And it looks like this will be a theme going forward, this time with someone I'm not familiar with.
List:
Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver #3 (Black Cat & Jackpot got Adam Hughes as their cover artist? Think of the other covers he could be doing)
Green Arrow #11
Harley Quinn #59
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers #119

Anyone here ever read Retroworld?
Catwoman Lonely City is excellent.
Yes, all the Danger Street characters are from the 1st issue series DC had in the 70s.
