Shungry Shungry Shippos, for real this time! 12-27-06

Aw.

I don't understand this. It's not like creating new threads is a big OMG deal. Seriously! I could create five threads on slightly different topics in ten minutes and no one would blink. Isn't this just a little bit arbitrary?

For me this week: 52, Age of Bronze (what an AMAZING series--I will keep repeating that until y'all start reading it), Darebrubaker, Love & Rockets. On the fence about the Chaykin Guy Gardner thing.

JL OF MELTZER IS NOT BAD

DARE I SAY IT'S QUITE ENJOYABLE

SO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD CAN GO PISS UP MY ASSCRACK

I MEAN THAT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

THANK YOU

Whilst I do love AGE OF BRONZE with a passion that's almost obssessively scary, it has the weirdest shipping schedule possible (at least in the UK it does) so I've found myself waiting for the trades.

This is like saying, "Well, the best thing out of that car crash was at least the arm I lost was the one with the inoperable tumor!"

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #5

More comics travelogues, please. (I've read Carnet de Voyage, thought it was pretty nice.)

.. which we aren't on anymore.

I think Ed is right, but is also being a pompus twat, so if it's only him that we're pissing off, (shrug).

Perhaps marking the threads more clearly is the answer? I assume the word SHIP in the title is supposed to alert us to the likely contents? As it stands, "don't like = don't click" only works if it's obvious to all what lies behind the title.

I don't much care either way, mind, we're only here for a little while. I do wish DJ Martian provided a similar service on ILM.

As a general rule, I find myself hoping that thread title which mentions ships = thread about pirates.

PTW is starting to give me The Fear about that.

But speaking of Justice League of Meltzer, I think it's good-good, not bad good. But I come to DC as an old Marvelite, and I'm having a little trouble with Red Tornado suddenly being so effing important. Where does this stand on a retconning scale of 1-10?

As for this comic thread kerfuffle: ILX, to me, is all about the soft bigotry of thread expectations and / or shitty cornyass thread titles, so if folks are perturbed that a thread w/ SHIP in the title isn't about toot-toots or arrrrrrr, well, y'know, at least it's not Tubgirl.

I'd like to continue the one-thread-per-week tradition, here in our temporary new home, but maybe w/ an [ILC] reminder in the title so ILE folks won't inadvertently click on it. If enough folks pull an Ed & would rather us comic nerdz sequester ourselves in one lil thread, that's cool, too, but given the severe lack of hubbub (that we ourselves didn't generate), I'm not sure it's a dealbreaker one way or another.

I don't really care what this thread does, or if there are any more. A thread a week sounds entirely reasonable to me. However, to put what I said above a little more bluntly, it only makes sense to invoke the "if you don't wanna read it, don't click on the thread title" defence if you have made the title reasonably clear. Which means (for those of us who aren't part of ILComix) something a bit more than the word "ship" and a date.

Anyway, sorry to interrupt, I'm off on the pub crawl now, hooray.

100% agreement.

Also, one thread per week ABSOLUTELY, hell with Ed and any other haterz. (xpost, non-haterz not required to go to hell.) I don't contribute to these threads much because I live a million miles from my comic shop and don't make weekly trips, but I follow them to see what the hep kids are down with these days.

Weekly thread could say [ED DON'T CLICK HERE, IT'S NOT ABOUT WINE OR COMPUTERS]

OMG CIVIL SANDBOX U DECIDE

Also, in Calamity John Morris' year end top ten spandex list at The High Hat, he sez that if you're following Broobdevil, you owe it to yourself to read Captain Broobmerica as well. I've been following the former but not the latter, so I'm looking for a confirm or deny from the ilcomix massive. But I gotta say, I trust Jon's judgement for the most part, even if he does show love for All Star Batman Damnit, you retard. But he hates Batman, so it almost makes sense he'd like a suck-ass batcomic.

Also HOLY SHIT YES read Bru's Captain America! It's not as gung-ho as it's been of late, but the entire run is great, esp. the first 12-18 issues. Also - check out the CAPTAIN AMERICA SPECIAL, which features a back-in-the-day Bucky & Cap story w/ art by Javier (Human Target / Catwoman) Pulido & Marcos (Dr. Strange: The Oath) Martin.

Why y'all so cranky?

xpost -- CAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD BREAKFAST YET AND THE NOISE BOARD'S GOT ME WANTING FRIED CHICKEN!!

TITTWIS: I want to go the motherfuck home already.

In short, I AM WITH IRON MAN.

what server(s) are you on David???

YEAH!

THE COMPLETE RAGMOP (by Rob Walton, A Canadian) is a 350+ page romp that combines heavy-handed political discourse w/ Hanna-Barberic drawrings, Marvel Bullpen mayhem, and dinosaurs! Is lots of fun! Almost like Action Economists & Politicians, but with dinosaurs! BONUS: cartoons about Adam Smith!

btw David R I bought Punisher War Journal #1 but was not that thrilled w/ it - nasty painted artwork really ruined it for me :-(

also, it is a bit rich for a fucking watercooler poster to complain abt ppl constantly starting new threads

Klarion Witch-Boy is NOT a NAPKIN!

I promised to read Popeye, didn't I? I shd do that, soon(ish).

Also: plz to stop poking the turd that dried up 2 days ago, k thx.

Current Silly War whateverness aside, Captain Brumerica has been more consistently enjoyable than Darebaker (not to be confused with DareBaker, in which America's favourite cartoonist chronicles the adventures of the Man w/o Fear and his adopted teenage daughter as she goes to the prom--WITH HITLER!).

I prefer a weekly thread rather than a ROLLING COMIX 2007 or whatever, because I usually just ignore any thread with more than 200 posts, even though I might be actually interested.
