Ray's 53rd DCU/GrayHaven Megathread - Beware the Court of OOMPHwls!!!

[Slewo.O]

Lost 5 pounds last night. I hope that's more due to the cardio and less due of the reduced portions.

...

No.

Just, no.

Well said.

[Slewo.O]

Ugh, stomach is killing me. I need to get food into this thing. Adios fellas...

Best Series last ten years: Chew, Walking Dead, Y, All Star Superman, Goon, Astonishing X Men, All Star Superman, 100 Bullets, Daredevil , 100 Bullets

Not bad

That's a great list. Needs more USM and Alias, but otherwise it's pretty much perfect.

[chazbot]

That and Y are also breakout hits. I think they'd more be the equivalent of something like Slumdog Millionaire than The Artist.

The Artist = Fake Pat's favorite comic, Prison Pit.

The Artist is more like Scott Pilgrim by far than Prison Pit if we use movies to graphic novel analogies in terms of success.

The first two books of SP got little notice until it got so critically successful that it gained a much larger audience culminating in its own movie.

The Artist only started out on a handful of screens in the US until critical acclaim got it up to a thousand screens culminating in an Oscar.

Edit: movies not money, hah

New Comic Book Day!

Let's see what's for reads this week...

BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED #1 - What the hell. Looks fun.
JUSTICE LEAGUE #6 - Interested to see how well this wraps up in one issue. Would've liked a more interesting villain though. Darkseid bores me.
SCALPED #56
SHADE #5
SPACEMAN #4
UNWRITTEN #34.5 -
JOE HILL THE CAPE #4
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES MICRO SERIES #3 DONATELLO
PIGS #6
WALKING DEAD #94
ASTONISHING X-MEN #47 - Can't wait for Marjorie Liu's first issue. This isn't working for me.
AVENGERS #23 - I'm glad this Norman Osborn/ H.A.M.M.E.R. arc isn't going to last that long.
FF #15 - This hasn't been doing it for me since splitting into two titles. Though both connect brilliantly.
NEW AVENGERS #22 - See above. Glad it's wrapping up fast.
SIX GUNS #5 - This has been a great mini. I kinda hope there's a follow up.
TWELVE #10 - Been long enough, damn it!

Small week overall. That's a welcome relief.

I've still only read the first two Scott Pilgrim books. I loved them, but I kinda blew off finishing the series after I saw the movie.

The funny thing is, I absolutely loved the movie, too.

Both Andrew and James have said how they're glad it's a small week... and listed more than 10 books they're getting...

Is everyone Ray fucking Goldfield now!?!?

A 'small week' is like, I dunno, less than 5.

Back when I had an LCS (), I used to skip one week a month because, somehow, I always had a week where only 3 books I bought would come in. And it was fucking murder not going. Now, I have to wait two weeks (3 if there are 5 Wednesdays that month!).

I really want to open my own shop.
