Nothing. Comics don't come out 'til Friday here, because of some delay.

But I will be getting Bad Planet and X-Factor.

[burlivesleftnut]

Damn it. Sorry Colin.

Oh, come on! That's comedy GOLD!

[burlivesleftnut]

You should collect all the posts where we threaten to ban you.

[thomasgaffney]

I don't think there are enough hours in a day to collect all those posts.

But it is something I will look into...

[DennisMM]

My work schedule means I don't get my comics until Saturday. I've got X-Factor on hold. What else is out this week? I'll report tomorrow.

My brain hurts. I've written 10 pages on Wally West and haven't passed #100. I've got four Geoff Johns TPs on loan to catch up with his stuff.

Help me, Jesus!

[Shane]

My Children and high ass grocery bill make sure I only get to pick my books once every few months.

[Pacino86845]

I just picked up Fell #3. So far, it's a great episodic detective series for under $2 an issue (ok, it's $1.99). The art's quite nice, leaning more to the European styles, and it's written by Warren Ellis.

In general, I'm really digging these sorts of comics, where you buy an issue and you have a self-contained story. The Goon is a good example of this, and is a series that I quite enjoy.

That recent issue (#82 I believe) of the Hulk that was written by Peter David and illustrated by Jae Lee is a beautiful example of what one can do in terms of telling a complete and affecting story in 22 pages.

[doglips]

COLIN - Have you got/read Loveless 1&2 yet? What do you reckon?

[Colin]

Yup. They were fucking great, as I expected.

[bc1970]

Is anybody getting Marvel Zombies?

I just look at the previews, which give spoilers everytime.
I thought this was a great idea, then stupid, then great again.

I just saw SPOILER HEAVY previews of issue 2 or 3. gross.

Anybody else like this?

[DennisMM]

As a Warren Ellis fan, I was very disappointed in Nextwave. He does not do comedy well when it's the core of a story. I'm not giving this the second-issue chance I frequently do with a new title.

I've read the first issue, and I liked it. It's fun to see all your favorite Marvel heroes as evil flesh-munching zombies and an uninfected Magneto as the protagonist. And it's definitely got the "ick" factor, especially where
[SPOILERS]the heroes hunt down and rip apart Magneto, with Hulk downing one of Mag's legs whole only to revert back to Banner and have the undigested leg rip open his torso.[/SPOILERS]

Robert Kirman is a creatively disgusting genius (SPOILERISH):



If you like zombies and aren't squeamish (I kinda have an issue with the T+ rating, given the graphic ripping-apart and consumption of human flesh), I'd recommend it.

[DennisMM]

The whole idea just strikes me as so ... stupid.

[Adam Balm]

But why the fuck did this have to crossover into the fucking Ultimate Universe?

[bluebottle]

The whole idea just strikes me as so ... stupid.

it's not tho, it's really entertaining.

i mean, imagine spiderman crying, "oh god, why did i eat mary-jane and aunt may?"

I actually dug nextwave. I thought it was inventive and quit funny.

[doglips]

Speaking of Zombies did anyone manage to get a copy of Black Gas by Ellis. If you did is it good?

[Adam Balm]

I just read Nextwave. Read like someone doing an impression of someone doing a bad impression of Ellis.

[Bob Samonkey]

I know I am late on this but I am happy about the prequel to Fury.

[The Ginger Man]

I'm loving the Marvel Zombies mini. Its got a few twists on the normal zombie mythos that allow for the actual characters to show through their zombified state. In this story, the zombies regain their human mind for a while after feeding.

The story doesn't feel like it's written for trade, so each issue is packed with action and very interesting gore. Seriously, check it out. And if you're still not interested, I'll leave you with three (hopefully) enticing spoilers.

*****SPOILER*****

1) A non-zombified Magneto wielding Cap's shield against an army of undead heroes.

2) Undead Thor eating someone's leg out of Undead Bruce Banner's ruptured stomach.

3) Silver Surfer. Feeding Frenzy. Galactus.

Buy this comic.

[DennisMM]

It's the quit funny part that bugged me. Ellis was trying for quitE funny. But he quit.

[Adam Balm]

When did Dennis get so witty?

Seriously?

[Keepcoolbutcare]

cute capuchin capering!

ampersand's amazing acrobatics!

topless toyota!

all that and more, this week, in Y: The Last Man.

poor 'lil guy...

[DennisMM]

When did Dennis get so witty?

Seriously?

You're really mean today, Adam.

It's tough to be witty when you're doped to the gills on psychiatric medications. Daily:

-300mg of Lamictal, an anticonvulsant also used as a mood stabilizer
-.75mg (it's potent) of Klonopin, an anticonvulsant, anti-mania, anti-anxiety drug. It's habit-forming.
-1500mg of Lithium carbonate, a mood stabilizer. My prescribed level is close to toxic, but that's the way it is with lots of bipolar people.
-600mg of Seroquel, an anti-psychotic that, among other things, helps me get to sleep at night.
-I'm also on Synthroid to regulate my thyroid function, because the Lithium throws it out of balance.

Isn't it fun to have a biologically based mental illness? My life was even more out of control before I was treated, but I was a lot wittier and productive. One of my best moments, which came off the top of my head: I don't really get depressed at Christmas. I just suffer from noel cowardice.

[Adam Balm]

Dennis, okay...buddy? I was actually being serious. When you first joined (and yes I assumed it was partly the meds), you weren't about bringing the funny 24/7 but in the last couple of days, you've had some real zingers. I wasn't being mean or sarcastic. I'm being honest.

[Pacino86845]

Back to comics, I got Fables #45, which brought to a close the Arabian Nights arc... needless to say I'm disappointed in the series, and regret buying the first trade paperback, which I've yet to read.

[DennisMM]

I'm sorry, Adam. I've always had trouble with sensitivity (which has too many "i"s separated by consonants), and it's especially difficult in type, even moreso in this sort of board situation, where there is generally less context for a phrase or sentence. Thanks for continuing to put up with me.

Pacino, the first year or so was much better. I'm feeling let down with the recent stories, but Willingham started strongly. Read the TPB and see what you think.

Burl, me and you on this one vs. Balmy and Dennis. We can take 'em.

LMAO througout the whole thing. Ya'll need to lighten and/or light up a bit.

[Adam Balm]

I think Dennis could take you both. Me, I'll just be the Rick Jones to his Hulk...

[Keepcoolbutcare]

yeah, in a battle with Dennis, it's "Protect Ya Neck".

[bluebottle]

Add me to the team, KC, I dug Nextwave.

We're going to have an old fashioned RUMBLE, I reckon!

[Colin]

Art aside, Nextwave was shit.

[Keepcoolbutcare]

3 on 3.
