Today I took every Gerard Jones comic I could find in the back issues (all six of them) and threw them in the garbage.

I have several of the Justice League Europes he co-wrote with Keith Giffen bound into two of my hardcovers, many of which are signed by Giffen, Bart Sears, and the late Marshall Rogers (but not Jones).

Time to tear those pages out!



I kid. But seriously, gently caress Jones. I had to unfriend a few "comic bros" on Facebook because they were defending him on the merits of his past works.

Weird ranger but does anyone use their local Facebook buy and sell groups? A friend linked me to a rather large comic collection up for sale and I plunged down the rabbit hole or people selling garbage, blatantly stolen items and actual literal garbage.

I found out on Friday morning that on Wednesday night, one of my best friends was murdered. So as expected, I've been a bit out of sorts and very sad but I've been dealing with it as best I can. But today I had a customer interaction that reduced me to tears and I'm still sitting here trying to feel normal again.


So if I come off as more of an rear end in a top hat than normal you all know why.

Part of it is I feel like BSS is a very defensive forum, people get their feelings hurt far too easy in here when someone says they don't like a book/show/film and it tends to be far too easy to push buttons.

I'm exhausted that subject. He's fallen so far that every time he opens his mouth I feel embarassed for him.

A few people have PMed for details on my friend (one calling me a liar) but I'm not gonna post too much here. So if you're curious just PM me, it's actually incredibly horrible so if you don't want your day ruined you should remain curious.

I'm so sorry, man. That is truly terrible, and I'm sorry. I'm sure everyone here is.

I'm more curious about the customer who pushed you too far. Was it the interaction itself, or were you already almost there? Apologies if you don't want to talk about that either.

Oh that, I thought i put those details in. I was sad, like really sad. I was sitting on the floor filing comics and i guess i had a few tears on my face. Some dude walked by and in his best "Jay" voice said "Well look at this morose motherfucker here." and it just hit me so hard. I know it's pathetic but I just felt shattered. I got up and went to the back to compose myself. When I came back my coworker said the guy was apologizing his rear end off after I went back but I took so long to return he had left.

I feel like I should explain my level of sadness. I loved this woman who died. Very much. Before I met the person I am now with I thought that my heart was going to be with my friend forever. It was no secret how I felt about her but she didn't feel the same way. So to lose someone who loved so much in such a violent and horrible way, well I'm kind of a mess!

I love about 99% of Kieth art, especially the more cartoonish/bizarre stuff, but he is also capable of stuff like this once in a while

I believe that is Howard Chaykin.

That's probably why everyone is worried about you.

I'm talking to my friends plenty, I guess what I'm saying is horrifying them?

My boss called from their business trip to see how I was doing (viewing was yesterday). I was honest, I am not doing well at all and I had the worst nightmare I can recall in my entire life last night. So they got worried, called all my coworkers and they rallied to fill my shifts this week so I can have some time to try and sort this out. Which honestly I'm not too happy about, I'm worried about getting lost in my own thoughts.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts and concerns. I should clarify that I am not depressed. I am just incredibly upset that my once very close friend was so violently taken from this world. I might be slightly traumatized from seeing her in the coffin as well. My girlfriend has set up a time with her therapist for next week so maybe I can sort out some of these mental issues.

A local "man" has announced intends to sue various public places in town because they will not allow him to wear his full Batman costume on their property. He has been asked to remove his mask at theaters, malls, banks, stores etc. Why is he suing?


Because he identifies as Batman and thus feels he should be allowed to be Batman wherever he goes. He's also 100% serious and 100% out of his loving mind.
