I don't really have any solid opinion on Savage Dragon or Erik Larsen, I just thought it was really silly to go off on a guy sharing their opinion on a comic forum and just going "Oh YEAH tough guy? Just check out how long it has been going on" I do think that Trump cover is not the best looking thing I've seen from Larsen.

Savage Dragon is such a strange book. It's a shame Larsen let it fall so far behind schedule because he'd be creeping closer to Dave Sim's record by now. I do have no doubt he'll make it to 301 issues just to spite Sim though.

It's on chapter 861 at around 17 pages a chapter, and releases 3 times a month so if it isn't already it's getting there.

I'd say Doraemon but it probably doesn't match page count with modern Jump stuff. It did run for over 20 years and had 45 volumes though. Although actually I think longest running manga in terms of time though is Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikoen-mae Hashutsujo (“This is the police box near the Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward) which completed a four decade run in September of last year. It might hold a record for page count but that's harder to research.

zoux posted:So is Savage Dragon not in the Invincible Universe anymore or is the IU also the Our Universe? Officially the way Image books work is that characters can cross over, but each book is its own universe, so that if Dragon shows up in Invincible, technically that's a different Dragon than the one in his own book and it doesn't affect the continuity of Savage Dragon unless Larsen chooses to reference it.

He's been saying that for like 10 years and it's nice that he's actually in sight of it. If he can keep on the current track he'll hit it by 2025.

Unrelated to everything, but while combing through a .25 comic book bin last week, I came across an issue of The Tick that you had signed the cover of. I would have grabbed it but they were asking too much for it.

If someone said Hellboy sucks and they'd only seen the movies that would be a perfectly understandable sentiment.

I remember Hellboy quite well despite only having seen it maybe twice and that being probably 10 years or more ago at this point. I don't remember a single thing about Hellboy 2 other than I didn't like it as much.

I'm not saying they're horrible films or anything, but they basically contain only 10% of what makes the comics so great, and the rest is just ACTION MOVIE ACTION MOVIE. It's a very strange way to adapt a series that's defined as much by silence and melancholy as by anything else. And I thought 2 was way worse than the first one.
