So, this isn't really a hiatus notice because I don't think I'll need to call one, but my laptop has suffered a charger/battery related death and so, I cannot post from it. (I'm at work right now, but I don't think they want me to spend all my time RPing.) MOST LIKELY I just need to buy a new charger for it, and I have an appointment at the Mac store this afternoon, but if something else is wonky it might take a few days to fix. SO, if I disappear this weekend that is why, and I know the Avengers at least had stuff planned.

ALSO, I am going to the comics store after work today, C&C. Tell me what I should buy. Really rec anything, continuity doesn't scare me and I like non-cape stuff too. Single issues, back issues, TPBs, whatever.

House of Mystery.

I recommend House of Mystery to everyone.

[terra]

I actually read that. Or, I readmy friends copies. Unless you mean the old stuff.

[arachnidism.livejournal.com]

Nope! I mean the Matthew Sturges stuff that's coming out now. Also I really like The Unwritten but it's Metafiction and I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea.

[terra]

I also read Unwritten!! Though I'm kinda behind with that one. I was away from a good comic shop for a while and recently just bought...a bunch of issues and haven't read them yet. Same with Scalped.

Rise of Arsenal for the lulz

[terra]

I was thinking of putting a "but not Rise of Arsenal" disclaimer on this

Besides it's more like the failure to rise of Arsenal.

Now that I think of it that would involve spending money on it, too

so yeah no 8(

[terra]

Yeah I don't think I can knowingly spend money on something so rape culture-y as the opening of that book.

It's sad, because man, I really want to like Roy Harper. I have a thing for ridiculous sidekicks, and I even have a thing for making them all edgy and giving them robot arms, but man DC really really hates the Teen Titans.

It would be funny if they actually showed panels of him beating homeless people up with a dead cat.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

I couldn't tell if he was eating the dead cat or had beaten them up with it. Either way, epic equip.

[terra]

I DON'T THINK IT WAS EITHER

I think he just was talking to the dead cat/confusing it with his daughter?

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

awful. Just....awful. I hope they don't want us to sympathize with him because that is difficult.

[terra]

I think they are just making him a flat-out villain. I think that's the outcome they're shooting for. But I do think we're supposed to find him sympathetic, b/c, dead daughter, past history. But then.

New Avengers 26 is my verymost favorite issue.

My to-read list is currently topped by Zatanna's new thingy.

[latrodectus]

I read New Avengers! I am one of those people who likes Bendis. & also the first issue of Zantanna. Which was good apart from the slightly sketch opening. I am looking forward to seeing what the villains do.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

WELP that is pretty much. My list. So. >_>a

[latrodectus]

I read a lot of comics!! And what is that icon.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

Oh! It is from.. Origins: Quicksilver or something? Which is also an entertaining read, actually.

[latrodectus]

They look sort of like they belong in a Disney film.

Which would be a strange Disney film.

[stillawitch.livejournal.com]

...Yes.

Yes, it definitely would.

[guardiandevil]

Oh gosh... lemme try and think of something you haven't read... umum... I've been reading back issues of New Warriors v.1 It's not the worst thing ever, especially of you are in need of an early 90's nostalgia kick.

Oh also: there's issue#1 of The Last Unicorn which came out in April and has lovely art which I appreciated greatly and recommend as well. I'm not sure when issue#2 comes out, though.

[latrodectus]

New Warriors might be a bit hard to find!! Unless it is collected? But the Last Unicorn is definitely good rec. I loved the novel, so, and I am also one of those people who will just buy books for the art. I'll de. look for that.

[guardiandevil]

The first 6 are in trade, as New Warriors Classic. I think there is a second trade also, but I am not positive.

And the art for Last Unicorn is so pretty! I can't wait for the second issue to come out. :)

[guardiandevil]

I forgot also! Hawkeye and Mockingbird #1 came out yesterday! I bought it, I haven't read it yet, but I love most things Clint related, so I am excited for it. Anyway, yes, there is that.

[latrodectus]

I was already going to buy that!!

Do you even love the 1990s mini where Hawkeye has a dog sidekick?

[guardiandevil]

DD:

I have not encountered this. This is something I need to see.

[latrodectus]

LMAO I think I linked a picture to the cover from Natasha's journal let me go find it.

YEP

I haven't actually read it. I have however read Capwolf.

[guardiandevil]

And his name is Rover.



Wow. Just.

Yeah.

[prodigitalson.livejournal.com]

and I am also one of those people who will just buy books for the art.

Neil Gaiman's poem "Instructions" has been published as a hardcover illustrated by Charles Vess.

That's...pretty much all I can think of! I've bought some TPBs recently (Red Sonja, Harley and Ivy) but I have yet to read them so I don't know if they're any good.

[latrodectus]

Oh, I'll definitely look for that then, that sounds pretty awesome.

[meowminx.livejournal.com]

Last Unicorn comic?

[guardiandevil]

Yes, that was my expression when I saw it on the shelf. I had no idea there was even such a thing.

[meowminx.livejournal.com]

What publisher?

[guardiandevil]

IDW.

[liverletdie]

It exists! My roommate ordered the whole series on ebay!

[meowminx.livejournal.com]

I'd recommend The Guild by Felicia Day. It's a prequel to her web series. Dark Horse is putting it out. Two issues so far (unless I missed the third).

[lynstraine.livejournal.com]

Third was just released! Waiting for it to arrive at my house now. It's hella cute.

[liverletdie]

How much Robert Kirkman do you read?

[terra]

I read Invincible sporadically, like in trades, I prefer to follow it that way. I tried to get into Walking Dead but it didn't work for me after the first few arcs and I couldn't remember who the characters were anymore.

[helokitynkevlar.livejournal.com]

I've likely gotten here too late, but Kick-Ass is a pretty awesome read.
