I love me some Savage Dragon. Previously I said it's a shame that Larsen doesn't care anymore and I didn't clarify. I feel like he stopped caring about putting the book out in a timely manner because there have been several stretches where the issues came out at a glacial pace. I fell off years ago and keep meaning to get back into it. It's a shame he hasn't released the series in the OS format Invincible and Walking Dead get.

Erik Larsen must really hate John Byrne. He had a sleazy character in Savage Dragon named Johnny Redbeard, based on Byrne, who exploited a hot, green-skinned woman he called Sensation (who later reinvented herself as She-Dragon).

Everyone hates John Byrne.

Mark Waid is the kind of guy that probably reads comics he hates just because he needs to know what's going on.

I'm pretty sure he's said as much. There was a big trivia contest at the Chicago Comicon like 10 years ago and they kept asking questions about Image books and Waid didn't know any of them and he was getting madder and madder about it. When he didn't win he got kind of huffy that he'd have to read lesser comic books.

I do seem to recall that there was a "Stump Mark Waid" panel at a convention and someone started to ask a question about Rom and he just said he doesn't know anything about Rom.

Fake edit: I just looked up the panel report and not only did that happen, but he also said he hadn't read any of the New 52 books (this was in 2012, so maybe that has changed).

Yeah he's super bitter about comics and it's just getting worse with old age.

We sold 7 of the Marvel Select figure, a bunch of banks, pins, ARTFX statues, lots of the classic trades, two omnis and hundreds of single issues.

I just had a thought-what if the new cinematic Green Lantern was Alan Scott? It makes perfect sense. No GLC baggage, clean break from the last movie, and Scott was inexplicably the Lantern in Kingdom Come.

I'd be down. Alan rules.

I have this dude, comes in every Wednesday, every single week, picks books up off the shelf and tries to dictate his own prices. He'll bring the stack up, ask how much it is and promptly off half price. We have never given him a deal but he keeps trying going on three years now.

Maybe Rhyno's crazy.

Aint no maybe.

After his failed attempts to barter he ends up buying two or three out if the 15 books he's pulled. And of course he leaves the unpurchased booms on the counter.

Where's that creepy gently caress who dropped BSS into the Sonic books? He'd know if they are gloves.



Edit: I guess after I left some dude had a hissy fit over Spider-man getting top billing on Spider-man/Deadpool.

It's anyone who "grew up" post 2000, so it pretty much goes back to the early 80s.

Seriously? I thought it was people who were teenagers in the 00's. I mean poo poo, I was born in '79 so I barely avoided this obnoxious label?

I had a Prof in college who told me I was too young to be GenX. Stupid generational labels.

As long as we have another decade. You never know what those darn millennials are going to do to the planet!


I mean I don't want to get branded as a millennial but I give absolutely no fucks about the future of this planet as I have no children and won't be around to see it anyways.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Marvel did mini-crossovers in their annuals. The most famous ones are Atlantis Attacks and the Evolutionary War (which were also the biggest) but there were others like Return of the Defenders, which I've just read (involving the Hulk, Namor, Dr Strange and Silver Surfer annuals), the Korvac Quest (the GOTG, Silver Surfer, FF and Thor annuals), Subterranean Wars (Avengers, West Coast Avengers, Namor, Iron Man, Hulk) and others.

For the most part, they were a bit of a drag, but I'm curious to know - were any of them especially good?

I remember Assault on Armor City's being really, really terrible.
