You know you're in Flavor Country when you have to name the model for the main character of the mini you're trying to dump as the selling point.

i'm sold! ivasion sounds great. some rucka would be nice, i think ive only read him on det. comics and 52. is image really that much of a wasteland other than kirkman and fraction?

Yeah, Invasion was pretty good at the time. I tried reading the ebay listing and died after page 1.

I know. Some things just can't wait for the trade - for me one of those things is the image of a billion ants crawling into the cracked head of a cute doll.

"Invasion" was actually what got me into reading your glamorous American superhero-comics. I think I was really into "V" at the time, and it looked like the same sort of thing. The first issue's the best one, though.

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Monday, 19 February 2007 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Invasion also had some really good crossover issues, like JLI and Animal Man. Well, those comics were really good in 88/89? anyway.

― Dr. Superman (Huk-L), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I take it this is for western comics, then?

― Moisture G Mess (The GZeus), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

only in teh sense that ILM is for "western music", i.e., that's what most folks here know, BUT TELL US ABOUT YR EASTERN FUNNIES, PLS.

TEH FURY OF CONFUCIOUS

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Monday, 19 February 2007 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I've actually been reading some more serious works.
Psychological thrillers like 'Monster' and the same author's lesser(and infinitely more convoluted) '20th Century Boys.'
Monster scared the shit out of me in the daytime around friends while listening to Bubblegum music. Best villian ever. I beleive the English editions are up to #7 in the USA. I believe it has over 20 volumes, and it only starts to lose steam around number....20. It's intense as hell right up until the climax. That part's a little drawn out, but the end... I give that thing a straight 10/10
A couple pieces about gender identity from a few different perspectives. namely 'Hourou Musuko' or 'Transient Son' and 'Family Compo' or 'F Compo' or whatever name it's known as in whatever country.
Then there's the classics, but I'd need to mine my memory.
My brain's a little fried from reading 20th C.B. scans(I have no other means at all) for about the past 18 hours...and it's not over yet.

― Moisture G Mess (The GZeus), Monday, 19 February 2007 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Dammit Dr. Superman, don't encourage him.

I've read just the first couple of volumes of "Monster," but yeah, they're really good. And I LUV LUV "Death Note."

― Douglas Wolk (Douglas), Monday, 19 February 2007 23:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh-oh.

― Dr. Superman (Huk-L), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 00:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Death Note is also awesome. Not quite as 'chilling' as Monster, but definitely in the same category overall.

― Moisture G Mess (The GZeus), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 00:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking of, um, not this - in case you're upset that the current incarnation of Supergirl has crystal bacne, take a peek @ this great drawing of her during a simpler time.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 01:24 (seventeen years ago) link

So lovely!

Almost as lovely, LOEG: Black Dossier is going to be surprisingly affordable! Hopefully, that is the fancypants edition.

― Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 02:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone here read "Black Hole?"

― Moisture G Mess (The GZeus), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Alt-F is yr friend.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha - I like that Tuomas' question about the disease in Black Hole is followed by me blathering about Spider-Man's glowing spooge.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know that the disease was neccesarally a metaphor for anything in particular. the whole thing had a sort of 'W. S. Burroughs' vibe.
It seems to glean alot of things from personal experience and crystalize it into a sort of 'dream state' feel.
It may just be intended to evoke similarities to aids, sex, 'deviant' behavior etc. without being specific.

Sad to hear abt Bob Oksner:-(

Four-Color Goatse

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Purchased right now at teh comic store:

* "Superman For All Seasons" trade
* "Batman: Year 100" trade
* "Showcase Presents: Shazam!" (like Huk, I am starting to think that all this showcasing might be filling up my shelves too much - but Matthew's description of this really made me curious)
* "Popeye" (lol collection is hueg)

Am I about to have fun? YES I AM!

I also saw this thing there called "Scooter Girl", which I was torn about - on the one hand, I just can't stand manga, but on the other, I am a total sucker for tweeness, soap opera and Swingin' London bullshit. Anyone know anything about this?

― Daniel Reifferscheid (Daniel_Rf), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Scooter Girl is by Blue Monday's Chynna Clugston, but I thought it was rather disappointing by the standards of Bleu and her adventures. (it's also not set in London. If you haven't read Blue Monday - grab one of those instead!)

CIVIL WAR #7: Manages to make IDENTITY CRISIS look like Grant Morrison. Just awful, although Reed's letter to Susan at the end is hilarious.

― carson dial (carson dial), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

YAYAYAYAY

I almost want the ending spoiled, but I'm not sure I give a shit. Tho I'd have to wait until next week to find out what actually happened. Does another minority / C-list hero die?

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I think there's two deaths on-panel, but apparently many are listed as 'missing' as of the 'end'.

The Spider-Man / Mr. Fantastic exchange…oh you will cringe.

― carson dial (carson dial), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Is it any less cringeworthy than the majority of the coredump plot-moving spit-swapping Millar's engaged w/ throughout this series?

Honestly, I think my estimation of CW would've increased 100 fold if a monkey with Tourette's and no frontal lobe wrote the dialogue instead of MM. Hope he's putting more effort into his JPEG fumetti!

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:12 (seventeen years ago) link

nu-IL-whatever scares me.

― Dr. Superman (Huk-L), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

although the end(?) of Ralph's storyline in 52 is definitely executed better than Steel's, it still has that same "well shit, let's just hurry up and get this story over with" feel as issue 40. Granted the realish-time aspect of the series must make it hard to resolve things in both a satisfying and in-depth manner, but knowing that doesn't make the conclusion seem any less rushed.

― Garrett Martin (Garrett Martin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:07 (seventeen years ago) link

also: how the hell did I find 14 comics I was willing to pay three bucks a piece for today?

― Garrett Martin (Garrett Martin), Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Guys, that Aquaman Showcase sounds amazing! I had no intention of buying it, and now it's next on my list.

I finally picked up the first issue of Dark Tower, and ... geez. The art is just distracting.
