So I bought some trades Saturday-- Hellboy volumes six, seven and eight, and Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus. Great stuff. Hellboy is a special thing to me. When I started buying comics again-- after previously only reading GI Joe from ages 4 to 13-ish, I started with some manga (blade of the immortal and Lone Wolf and Cub) and Hellboy.
I didn't really buy anymore manga after that. I still buy comics though. I don't want to turn this into a manga is the gayzaidz or whatever thread, just saying Hellboy is special to me. It's freaking great. It gets better with each trade. You should try it out.
The Lobster Johnson book is freaking amazing. Pulpy as hell, and totally awesome for it. The Lobster fights a goddamn Yeti by the fourth page! Not just any yeti either, a Yeti that is a damn yellow peril apocalyptic cult's strong-man! Seriously!
I haven't been to the actual comic store in about 3 weeks, thanks to my stupid job and the car being in the garage. Should have some sweet stuff waiting there-- Destroyer 1, Aaron's Wolverine book that sounds really great, probably some more Immortal Iron Fist by then, maybe another issue of Incognito...
Man, I really hope we do not already have a comics thread.

apparently it doesnt want to link, oh well!
I was probably 4 when I got my first toy from the kid next door, and somewhere around the same time I got my first issue-- I think it was a special missions issue, issue 10 I think. It was probably old when I bought it. I would have only been 4 when that came out.
I can't even see that img, humble. I had to quote you and c&p it into a new tab to see it. I think it is probably something with my adblocker thing.
I've decided through trial and error that the X-men are not for me. I find them interesting and everything, I just have trouble keeping that many characters straight or caring about all of the soap opera-ish relationships.
i am reading this
its really good and the art is fantastic
apparently i fail at img tags tonight

i wanted to talk about comics
who read the new Exiles? It was pretty great!
also Ignition City made me sad because i don't think warren ellis is ever gonna write like he used to again
its just all HERE IS SOME EXPOSITION EXPLAINING SMALL DETAILS OF THE STORY I GOT FROM SOMETHING I READ ON THE INTERNET
i dont know, maybe i would find his stuff more interesting if i didn't read his blog
also the artist's art loses a lot in the coloring process
Aetheric Mechanics (which was probably the last good thing he has written in a while) looked way better than this.
fucking Planetary #27 is almost done
I really need to catch up on the Hellboy trades, and that Lobster Johnson series sounds neat too. I've still got my copy of The Amazing Screw-On Head lying around somewhere. . .
I will buy that tpb SO HARD
im saying all of this so it will come true
Also Elijah could totally fit into a Spirit of the Century game so easy.
Steam: MightyPotatoKing
my favorite is the hong kong ghost cop issue
i have so many marvel trades i'm trying to catch up with, though.
and YTLM trades. and Scalped. AND i want to finally start into Sandman.
sigh, i guess i should really go turn in all these job applications today
Now just to wait for it all to get here, thank god for Amazon Prime.
You can save a ton buying "nick and dent" at TFAW. I bought three or four of my Hellboy trades there. I couldn't find any nicks or dents at all on two of them. The other had a tiny, almost imperceptible little nick at the base of the spine.
Nick and Dent'd volume 1 is currently 60% off the cover price, for example.
I have both of those, got them for less than 50 dollars each quite some time ago. I haven't read an issue of planetary since finishing the Absolute edition. Big surprise, the comically pulpy Doc Brass section with the parchment looking pages was my favorite.
Incognito #3 comes out this week!
The perpetually 16 thing worries me. I have faith in Brubaker to not to do something exploitative, I hope it is well-placed.
Also after reading the last Ghost Rider holy shit holy shit
aww, piss. i was really hoping this was gonna be good
I mean, check out this cover:
But I guess that's just how he rolls.
That cover reminds me of Prez.

you'd think with bendis writing avengers and overseeing secret warriors this would happen
