X-O posted:Yes Image, you can have more of my money. This is a great premise. Guys, I tried to hang with Deadly Class and I just don't like it. It's not really funny to me and it's just filled with teen angst and I'm not sure why the assassination school stuff is even in the book.

I'm not a big fan of Deadly Class either. I get what it's doing, and it's doing it well, but the total abjection of everything just isn't for me. I'm also so over the whole thing of establishing how bad a bad-guy is by making them a rapist or otherwise a sex offender.

I enjoy it, but only because I keep reading it hoping for Marcus to finally get his comeuppance. I'm not sure that's actually going to happen, though.

They didn't for me, either. I think it might have something to do with the iTunes app store controversy (though I use an Android device). I had to purchase them through the website, but I can download them on my tablet now.

I enjoy Deadly Class for the art. The writing is just OK, but drat Wes Craig's art is great.

Part of the issue is that I'm loaded up from the Image and Vertigo sales so it's like, why am I reading this when I could be reading Sex Criminals or Scalped or any of ten extremely acclaimed comic runs. Maybe in a couple of months when I don't have an absurd queue I'll have more patience.

fatherboxx posted:"Amelia Earhart of crap that does not matter" - how 12 year olds talk apparently Dialogue in general is almost never truly realistic. At least this crop isn't like, the intense reddit bigot flavor of brogressive. I'll take it I think. I'm pretty new to this whole comics thing though so idk maybe I'm not seasoned as to how grating certain things are.

Does anyone know if there are any plans for a Beasts of Burden Volume 2? Dark Horse is usually pretty good about releasing their trades and stuff, so are they just waiting for more for Beasts of Burden? Also, why isn't there more Beasts of Burden?

GrandpaPants posted:Does anyone know if there are any plans for a Beasts of Burden Volume 2? Dark Horse is usually pretty good about releasing their trades and stuff, so are they just waiting for more for Beasts of Burden? Also, why isn't there more Beasts of Burden? I think Dorkin said that Hunter & Gatherers was supposed to start another mini-series that would round out a second collection nicely along with the Hellboy crossover and the Neighborhood Watch shorts, but it's fizzled like so many comic projects. Actually, I just googled and found some recent updates from his LJ. Evan Dorkin on June 4 posted:I hope to speak to our Beasts of Burden editor, Sierra Hahn, in the next day or two to see where that's going. Or not going. We still have three scripts sitting and waiting to be drawn, one of which we do have about eight pages finished. It's less than an optimal situation. We're trying to poke it back into life, honest. I think about that book every day. Evan Dorkin on August 18 posted:Hoping we might have some good news fairly soon about new BEASTS OF BURDEN material. Supposedly Jill Thompson is planning to get back to work on the remaining issues of the mini-series that HUNTERS AND GATHERERS kicked off back in March, 2014. Here's to hoping. We're trying to work out some other things, as well, that may help get new material out. Not holding my breath, but trying to stay positive. Evan Dorkin on September 22 posted:Which leaves BEASTS OF BURDEN. Yeah. From what I understand Jill Thompson's actually actually finally started really actually maybe working on maybe finally finishing the art for the second issue of the long-delayed mini-series. Finally. Again. Supposedly. Maybe. I don't know. I give up. I saw two new panels the other day. That makes seven pages from early last year, and two panels painted last week. Maybe there's more, I don't know. I have no idea. I give up. As the BIG NUMBERS tribute schedule might suggest, things kind of suck with BEASTS OF BURDEN. The second issue was written in October of 2013. There's two more scripts gathering dust. If they were magically finished tomorrow the collection would still not see print until 2017. Seven years between volumes. That's kinda nuts. I goof up my own work, I delayed ELTINGVILLE CLUB #2 over a year, but when I crash and burn, I tend to do it in a single passenger plane. I don't know when these three issues will appear, or if they ever will appear. I don't know what will happen after that. Kids: always sign a collaborator agreement, even with friends. You never know what might happen. Or not happen. Yeah.  I really loved Beasts of Burden too. But I still prefer actually hearing what's going on to waiting with bated breath.

Thanks for the detective work, but man the despair in that September post What a shame. I'm not even the biggest animal guy in the world, but anyone who feels nothing after seeing the last page of that missing children issue (Lost?) really needs to get their humanity evaluated. That issue in general was fantastic.

I wonder if it was because of low sales or something else? If it's the former, I suppose I can't say I'm surprised. I don't know of anything else out there right now like it, that's willing to be political and engage with contemporary philosophy and just be unabashedly intellectual, personal, and passionate all at the same time.

Have you read The Surface #4? A whole lot of it is going into how he works and what pushes him to do what he does. Having that in mind, I think maybe he's going through stuff right now that puts him in a headspace where doing a heady comic about current events and engaging with the topics he engages with doesn't feel like it's the right thing to do. It's a shame, especially because no one is really making a comic about how hosed up poo poo is right now in no unequivocal terms, but I can see how it's a thing you'd want to do exactly right or not do at all.

Dorkin tweets a lot, so I'm not going back to look for it, but he had a long series of tweets a few weeks ago that were seething with barely suppressed rage about Jill Thompson apparently preferring to do anything other than work on Beasts of Burden, and washing his hands of the whole thing. Apparently he caught up with her at NYCC and there might be something else happening there, though.

Faster Than Light has hints that it could lead to an interesting storyline, but two issues in, so far it feels really disjointed. Reading the second issue I almost felt like I was missing issue 1.5. Also the second issue was highly, highly derivative from Alien/Prometheus. I'm also liking Copperhead. Nothing about it is super striking, but I like the world and characters its built up.

Holy crap... I had no idea Stray Bullets: Sunshine and Roses was going to be at least 12 issues long. It's enjoyable but it's still just a flashback when I'd rather see Ginny in the 80's.

I grabbed the first issue of Black Magick for my wife, and read it on my way home. Holy gently caress the art is off the chain. I loved the use of color in the book. Also ended up reading the first 10 issues of Outcast in one sitting. I think I like that book a lot. Got the first 2 issues of Paper Girls to read tonight still.
