    Judging from the videos, all of the really good comics stocked in bulk have been snapped up long ago. Some okay reader material, but a shadow of what was available at its peak.

    Sandman Presents : Lucifer mini-series 1 to 3 Lucifer 1 to 28 Lucifer Nirvana one-shot A bit leaden at times, but some good stories and ideas, and worth persisting with. That said, prefer Neil Gaiman’s writing style on Sandman. 32 issues in total 2024 total = 166

    Very true.

    "If you ready for it you send a reference am open for commission" Inhuman is perhaps a bit harsh. More Bizarro World.

    I compose my posts very slowly, and edit a lot due to OCD. One thing I avoid now is store webchat, as the super-speedster on the other end tends to type ... "Hello, are you still there?" Well, that, when I can decode the garbled mess they've written, anyway.

    Just watched this. Quite different to the comics' Spider-Verse saga storyline, but brilliantly done, with a superb range of animation. Deserves the accolade.
  7. Ken Aldred
    Don’t think so. There’s no twirly moustache.

    As minty fresh as the day it was dumped on a garbage tip. Classic example of the Landfill Pedigree.

    That said, I'm at least impressed by the careful storage of the book, as described in the penultimate line.
  10. Ken Aldred
    I apologise.
  11. Ken Aldred
    Proven time and time again by film speculation.
  12. Ken Aldred
    Such dainty-looking feet. Perhaps better if hidden.
  13. Ken Aldred
    I've always disliked this cover as well... (The previous one's worse.)

    From Software DLC does tend to be absolutely crushing. A highly-levelled status is assumed by the designers, and, after all, the basic game itself is hard as nails, so they won’t show any mercy in the slightest.
  15. Ken Aldred
    A rare opportunity presented itself.

    As gamers we already know the classic, psychological twist ending of the first game. Infinite, of course, has a good one as well. All three are great.

    Yup. Many happy memories of mixing the two up for some intellectual variety. I recall the day I read some Plato, and later on sat down to marvel at the sophistication of Youngblood issue 1.
  18. Ken Aldred
    No, I haven't. I'll admit it. My first thought is that it would come out all crinkly and maybe stiff as a board. I've seen one or two soaked, ship's ballast copies that made their way by surface to the UK.
  19. Ken Aldred
    Yup. The OCD threat level is that intense. No understatement.

    Generally a very bad situation, leading to warping of the paper at the very least, possibly discolouration. As I stated in another thread, the pedigree Namor collection has books which are naturally resistant to the damage, shrug it off, and are highly sought after for this resilience. There are always exceptions.

    I just thought of it as “From the creators of Earth X”. Sort of.

    There were quite a lot of tie-in mini-series about the different sectors of Doom’s world, a large number of them very good reads. Impossible to incorporate all of it into that main story arc. Overall, Omnibus material.
  23. Ken Aldred
    As I said, I don’t really think that their choices are must-haves, but that limitation is in part caused by decompressed writing and the fact that most material consists of multi-part storylines, which aren’t suitable products for sampler material of this nature, involving multiple characters and several stories, left to select from an occasional bit of one-shot mediocrity and scraping around for anything truly standout there.
  24. Ken Aldred
    Material that I’d hardly describe as modern must-haves. Much better, high-quality modern comic stories available which could’ve been chosen instead as a promotional tool.
  25. Ken Aldred
    Yup. It’s clearly the must-have, can’t lose, bargain of the week.
