I had a ROM action figure and a stack of the comics as a kid. I'll be the sucker who buys the $100 ROM book. Weak snipe. Bring back the Dire Wraiths.

Mr Hootington posted:Sorry for the loss of you job! I hope you can find one soon! Thank you friend, I appreciate it Ive been reading Accident Man and it’s a drat shame Toxic! magazine didn’t last longer, I can’t imagine how much cool stuff would’ve come from a 90s alternative to 2000ad, also founded by Pat Mills but this time with an emphasis on ensuring creators retain as much ownership as possible. The more I think about it the more I hate 2000ad and Heavy Metal for spending the last twenty years ratfucking their respective legacies for a quick buck

   Chip is a super swell guy. Really friendly and indulged all his fans. We're kind of in the middle of nowhere here and it's rare for anyone interesting to come, so it was a real treat. I was hoping to grab a Public Domain tpb but the shop was sold out of almost everything, all they had were some singles and the Spider-Man tpb, but it's my kids birthday next month and he'll be an 11 year old boy, and I hear they like Spider-Man so that worked.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Yeah RIP. IIRC, it essentially published by Now in the US. Something about Romita people might not realize is that he was in charge of art at Marvel for a long time. That meant he was involved with a lot of the incidental things that were used in marketing and the like. Plus he was responsible for nurturing a lot of talent. He did a lot more than draw Spider-Man.

"Pulmuset" sounds like it would be the name of a secondary Cardassian character on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Are there any good Godzilla / kaiju comics? I spotted one at Barnes and Noble and realized my interest was piqued but it had the most hideous art I’ve ever seen. I am sure, however, there are some excellent manga or something associated with such a venerable franchise, so if anyone has a recommendation I’d appreciate it

James Stokoe did a Godzilla miniseries, so I assume that's good.

Dope thanks I will look into those. I love the old movies and Shin Godzilla but hadn’t even occurred to me there were probably some quality comics more in the spirit of those than, say, the 1997 American movie

Because I brought him up I have to show people how Stokoe holds his pen when he's drawing, because it's insane.

I appreciate all the suggestions, I got a job interview this week after my sudden layoff last month which has hosed me over and prevented me from buying any comics but if this works out I’m gonna grab most of the Godzilla comics mentioned and then drop $200 on a hardback omnibus of Kamandi, the Last Boy in the World, which looks super dope

They cast a guy for the next Superman film and I guess people are saying he's too skinny, which is dumb as poo poo to talk about, he's gonna have a dietician and personal trainer and pharmacist giving him everything he needs to be super jacked by the time they start filming (which is going to be a while since there's a writer's strike and I doubt James Gunn will hire a scab to write it), but it reminded me, I want to see a live action depiction of a Superman who doesn't actually look fit, either super skinny or with a bit of paunch, because the way you look jacked is in addition to diet and some pharmaceuticals, is pushing your body to the point of failure, and Superman would never actually do that very often. Like, before swim suit season does he think "oh I've put on a few pounds, I better go move Mars back and forth a few hours a day"?

Gunn wrote the script himself, and apparently he finished it before the writers' strike. Also, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane is one of the all-time best superhero movie casting choices, up there with Reeve, Downey, Evans, Stewart, McKellan, and Jackman. She will be absolutely perfect.
