  1. Has manga ever been sold this way in Japan? Use of such vending machines is far more diverse there.
  2. The next issue is my favourite, introducing Doctor Bedlam. All of Darkseid's Elites are appalling, sadistic individuals, but there's something especially soulless about him.
  3. That's a potential problem. There's already a collected edition of the Machine Man series, and I wondered if the 2001 issues would be kept as a separate and very thin volume.
  4. Likewise. I'm already bored and completely disinterested, so a threat of discomfort's already irrelevant to the situation, speaking as the owner of a Y chromosome as well.
  5. Which doesn't really matter. It's about what appeals to you and what you find most fulfilling about the pastime. Congrats.
  6. Sounds similar to the way Conan gets bounced around from one publisher to another. Copyrights and trademarks and licensing. It'd be good to have a complete Machine Man Omnibus including the early 2001 stories, regardless of who does it.
  7. Currently reading a couple of fairly long runs.
  8. Took me a good half minute to decipher this as ‘Masters of the Universe’.
  9. Been a bit down in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and I loaded up Wolfenstein 1 : The New Order, and Wolfenstein 2 : The New Colossus, for some hardcore, therapeutic Nazi Smashing, which never gets old. Just finished them both on “I am Death Incarnate” difficulty level, with the second game being much tougher, but, with a bit of strategising, quite doable. I’m simply not good enough to take on the “Mein Leben” setting, where one death erases your save and you’re back to the beginning - always avoid these.
  10. Let's not forget all of those signature "air quotes" as well.
  11. Not my favourite character, but one of my favourite alternate universe versions...
  12. It’s a brilliant RPG. Eventually I’ll get Dead Space PS5 myself. Haven’t started it yet, but I just bought the Capcom Resident Evil 4 PS5 remake, which, likewise, is supposed to be quite superb.
  13. Probably not worth my while going ad-free, as with attention deficit I can barely go 20 minutes without breaking off onto something else.
  14. I was thinking about some Usagi this year too.
  15. I read it as a stand-alone story. You should be fine.
  16. Is that the current series by Waid and Mora? Heard good things about it.
  17. Look forward to participating.
  18. Buy the book, not the grade. Always been the rule if you’ve any concern about presentation vs grade. Same subjectivity as always. Rookie confusion, perhaps? We’ve all gone through that stage.
  19. Several from the Ann Nocenti era... (X-Men villains) (Avengers villain) Mephisto - wonder why it took so long to use this one ? Too obvious?
