CapnAndy posted:Empowered is awesome but Adam Warren really needs to pull up and start giving the charactes some wins and happy times soon, it's in real danger of hitting the "well if everything is terrible forever and only getting worse why am I sticking around" despair spiral. It's pretty light-hearted for a Adam Warren book compared to books like Mangaverse Fantastic Four (everybody dies), Gen13 (everybody dies), or Livewires (nearly everybody dies).

Chinaman7000 posted:I was typing a long post that was gonna say this, but even then it's the rare outlier to "Superman is gonna feed all the starving children this Christmas. Don't ask about tomorrow though" Superman: Grounded is absolutely loving baffling. I know this is a couple of days late, and someone's probably already covered this, but I need to. Superman: Grounded is a book about Superman walking across America to "reconnect with humanity". Alright, that's a decent enough premise, Superman's going to walk around and be a swell loving dude and help people and rescue cats from trees, I'm all about that. Nope. It's Superman walking across America being a right-wing dickbag, trying to end the drug trade by going "Knock this poo poo off or I'll be back and I have laser eyes!" and meeting literal aliens who just want to live with us in secret and are trying to escape their lovely planet (which is totally not Mexico) and telling them off for "not contributing" and oh my loving lord how do you miss the point of Superman so hard? Then at the end after JMS left in a huff it turns out that all of Superman's doubt and sadness have turned into a crystal that gave a lady powers and he blows it up with the power of hope. So that's alright.

So, I was meeting a friend for lunch today and decided to drive to get comics because of this. Had I taken the train instead, I wouldn't have thought I could haul home this obnoxious oversized Little Nemo hardcover collecting all of it ever. Merry Christmas to me.

Vincent posted:Oooooh, could you post some pictures of it please? I love little nemo, but the collections are prohibitively expensive here for me right now and want to live vicariously through you. Yeah, I knew I would eventually break and buy the two huge ones, but as I was walking into the shop today, I saw a weird Nemo box in the window I hadn't seen before, and I asked them about it. I was kind of hoping it would've been two hardcovers, but now that I've opened it up and gone through it, it looks really impressively bound and is easy to read even at the thickest parts. Expensive, no doubt, but I have had an affection for the strip since i first played the absurdly difficult NES game when I was 6 or 7, and while I owned some older printings of the strips a few years ago, they wee about Marvel OSHC size and required a bit of squinting to read easily. Every time I've tried to post images here, I just end up breaking tables, so I took some shots and threw them up on tumblr: http://bairfanx.tumblr.com/post/105656595483 Rhyno posted:How much did the trailer you rented cost? I honestly don't know if I would've decided it was a good idea to buy this gigantic loving book if I took the time to go back home and get my car, as I wouldn't really have wanted to lug it onto the train, but now that I have it, I'm glad. I'm actually tempted to haul it home with me to read on Christmas morning, because this just feels like the kind of thing you read on Christmas morning.

Speaking of unwieldy books, has anyone ever worked out a way of storing Building Stories that actually makes sense? Currently my copy's sitting at the bottom of a pile of board games because that's the only place it fits.

After reading any amount of Empowered, I can't help but see all the threads leading up to it in any old Adam Warren thing I reread now. It is the key that explains so much. Those tendencies have always been there in his work, I was just generally too young to notice it before.

Last night I went to see the Usagi jimbo stage play and it was brilliant. They did some fantastic things with animated projections including Stan Sakai's little death bubble every time someone dies. Its all about his training and growing up, with plenty of sword fights too, which despite the subject matter I figured they would skimp on. If you're in on nearby London I implore you to give it a look before it finishes on Jan 4th and to take any kids you have with you,

I don't find it titilating either, but that's not really the point. Whenever someone posts a panel from it it just looks so gross and unappealing. It's like Greg Land if Greg Land actually knew how to draw.

So, I bought the Nemo collection impulsively, and because I like my shop and have some cash to spare, its $200 price tag wasn't that big of a deal. But if any of you are thinking about it, Amazon has it for ~$125 right now, and that makes it a loving steal. And if you're worried about Amazon's trademark hosed up absolutes and things, the actual book comes in a box (albeit a very nice box) with a handle and everything that will easily absorb any dings.

What is the difference between this and the Splendid Sunday books? It looks like this one is a way better deal.

sporklift posted:What is the difference between this and the Splendid Sunday books? It looks like this one is a way better deal. I haven't been able to hold the Splendid Sunday books in my hands for comparison, but I'm pretty sure they are bigger. I'm okay not having a complete full-size reproduction as long as I have one that's easily readable, which up until now meant that Splendid Sundays would've been a necessity despite their high cost and low scope. Basically, unless you need an exact 1:1 reproduction, the Taschen book should do the trick. It also comes with a supplemental book about the history of McCay and Little Nemo, though I wish it weren't the same dimensions, as it is a bit awkward to read a sheet of prose that huge even if it does have scattered pictures.

I just had an incredibly intense conversation with a customer that nearly became a full blown argument about whether Iron Fist and Shang Chi are the same character. Dude was adamant they were the same dude and would not budge despite me showing him current books featuring both characters. I got mildly agitated over it because as far as I could tel he was dead serious. I feel kind of dirty now.
