You know what's fun/cool to do now? Go back and re-read the two issue of The Private Eye now that we know the government is literally spying on everyone and recording every single thing everyone is doing on the internet at all times.

Also you should read it because it's a good comic but you know WHATEVER

I saw an ad for Glory volume 2 in this month's Prophet and I got really excited because I thought the series was coming back for another arc but it was just for the second trade :smith:

I was always kind of under the impression that Image never really canceled anything. The people involved might stop doing it if the book is costing them money but as long as Image is getting their cut, they don't really care what the sales look like.

Just a heads up: Brandon Graham's Walrus came out today. It's just sketches and art and pinups but it's cool and good.

Also, the second Glory trade either came out this week or last week AND Paul Pope has a prologue comic out for Battling Boy called "The Invincible Haggard West" that you might ask your comic book guy to look for since he probably didn't order it.

What's collected in the new Multiple Warheads thing that came out today? Does it have his old porno stuff or is it just early MW comics?

Arrghhh why didn't anyone tell me that Battling Boy came out this week! Did anyone get it? How is it? I need to know!

The only one I have an opinion on is their Miss Fury book that I got because I was curious. I only read the first issue but her characterization seemed to end at "I AM REALLY ANGRY BUT ALSO SEXY" and I was like "this is really bad and stupid."

A lot of people I respect are writing some of them though. I know Phil Hester wrote/is writing a few. I bet those are good.

I can't tell what is going on in Pretty Deadly at all. It looks nice but, like, nothing makes any sense to my brain. There's cowboys and vulture girl and stuff happens but nope it's just not clicking.

Did anyone else get the new Shaolin Cowboy series? I'm way behind on my comics so I'm not sure how long ago it came out. It's...kind of underwhelming so far. I mean, a cowboy monk chops hundreds of zombies into bits with a giant staff that has chainsaws on the ends but I guess I was just expecting more?

It's the tone of it that's off, I think. Nothing about the art or dialogue or pacing conveys "fun" or "crazy action", it's just the basic facts of the script that seem like they're from a Suda51 game. The execution just isn't there.
I never thought I'd say this but he really needs Frank Miller.

Just let that roll around in your brain for a minute.

There was a giant "how to make money writing porno e-books for amazon" thread in ask/tell for a long time but I think it got shut down after a bunch of goons got outed for writing centaur impregnation porn and it was all kind of a giant pyramid scheme anyway.

And SPEAKING of uncomfortable pornography I noticed that Blue is the Warmest Color was opening at our local indie movie place so I got the comic off amazon. I haven't read it yet, but I flipped though it and it's just a gorgeous funnybook. But I'm also a sucker for sad coming-of-age stories.

Battling Boy is maybe my favorite thing Paul Pope has ever done, and it kills me that we probably won't see the next installment for a long while.
I understood that there was going to be another story focusing on the daughter out reasonably soon. Not done by Pope, but at least approved by him and in the same universe.

Just a reminder: the next volume of Empowered comes out next week! Get hyped! Or don't care at all! Whatever you want!

I'm kinda hype? Vol 7 was a little too... rapey for me. The constant reminders of what the other ninjas wanted to do to Ninjette was just too much on that front. And I never, ever, want to see the term "breeding sow" used in reference to a human woman ever again, thanks. Spooky and Emp kicking rear end in hell sounds like a blast, though. Especially if it means we get Mindfuck back.

(It's not, it's going to end up with Spooky dying forever, because no-one is allowed to be happy. :qq:)
I'm with you on the ninja sex politics. There's some good stuff in 7 with Emp's first couple forays into super-heroics and getting beaten by a bunch of super villains who get around in a minivan with their name written on the side and the actual ninja fight scenes are probably as well done as any ninja fight in comics has ever been that wasn't drawn by like, Frank Miller or David Mazzucchelli.

But really, Ninjette on her on is kinda boring. Her one shot was kind of boring too. She really needs Emp or Thugboy to play off of.

I'm finally all caught up with Rat Queens and the first three issues were really cool and good. If you haven't read it, you probably should.

Has Koyama Press always been distributed by amazon? Or is this a new thing?

Because there's a lot of really good stuff here. Mostly I'm surprised to see a Lose collection. I didn't know anything like that was coming out.

poo poo anyone can write a loving Crossed book. Look, here are the first pages of Crossed: Deliverance by me right now

Page one panel one: A scared looking woman and her husband are sneaking though what looks like an old theme park.

Woman: I hope the those monsters aren't here.

Page one panel two: a CROSSED man jumps out. He's really fat and gross and covered in blood.

Rest of pages: the CROSSED kill the husband with weird things you wouldn't think are weapons like children's toys or power tools while the woman runs away crying and hides.

-fin-

Okay Avatar I'll be expecting a check in the mail.

The new volume of Empowered is pretty good! But I've also given up trying to sell Empowered to people because it's impossible.
