Wytches has freaky stuff in the woods and a small family trying to save each other from horrors.

Something in a similar style, but less horror orientated than ST, is Paper Girls.

Don't worry, iron crosses are out of style for the fashionable racist of today's world. If you see any frog tattoos, that's when you worry.

It doesn't even look like He-Man's chest emblem. And even Mattel knew it was a bad icon because in the 2002 reboot of the toyline there was an emergency running change from the original cross to a stylized H.

He could tat the harness and muscles around it to make it clear. Assuming it's his bicep, giving it pecs and abs is would be pretty funny.

He doesn't live too far from me, and there's groups organizing to have regular protests at his office, so it might actually happen! Speaking of not-Nazi tattoos, I want a Mjolnir tattoo, but of course neo-Nazis appropriated that. Fuckers. Doesn't help that I also shave my head.

There came a time when the Old Gods died, my friend. By which I mean that you should get a tattoo of Orion's astro-harness instead. Also  options: a Mother Box, Barda's mega-rod.

I've always been fascinated with tattoos. My dad has tons of them. I really wanna get at least one some time, but I gotta get it just right, you know? Right now I'm leaning towards the mark of the Doomslayer from the recent Doom reboot.

Also I mean if you're a real piece of poo poo and reading things other than Nextwave after Nextwaving Stranger Things, it may depend on what they really like about Stranger Things, like is it the supernatural stuff or the 1980s vibe or the heavy Stephen King pastiche and like is this someone who has already read/watched all of the stuff Stranger Things is riffing on and if they have then yeah, I guess it's finding other retro Stephen King pastiches to read?

Super 8 is probably a lot like Stranger Things, right? I haven't watched either of them. I feel like culture is oversaturated with 80s nostalgia so it's a real big turn off for me.

My one and only tattoo is sports related in a way. I keep seeing other people's tattoos and thinking they look cool but if I got something similar it would just be copying. Also I know a few people who got tattoos based on their childhood likes (a friend has a really cool Calvin and Hobbs tattoo for instance) but I don't want to do that because I really don't want a Garfield tattoo. If anything a Toth style Batman tattoo would be up my ally.

The main reason I don't have any tats is that most people I know who get one inevitably get more and look like deflated Drax by their 50s.

It's similar. The monster story is pretty uninteresting, but I remember liking the group of kids. It felt pretty fresh getting an Amblin movie at the time.

Right up to the end, when it turns into a pretty straightforward action/monster movie, Super 8 is right up that alley. I thought it was a good movie that could have been great with a little work on the third act.

I recently got a very tiny tattoo to remember my friend who recently died. Nothing flashy, just a reminder. Let's talk about some irritating poo poo. http://comicsalliance.com/image-womens-history-month-planned-parenthood/ Image is doing special PP variants in March. We're already getting calls asking if we will be carrying these from both sides of the issue and it is driving me up the loving wall. We finally settled on them being special order only which also sucks because today was the final order cutoff for the first week's worth so we're gonna have plenty of irritated people over this. But we just don't want to deal with the bullshit on this as one caller said her organization would protest at our store.

It's quite amazing that you live in this little Wonderland where people actually give a gently caress about comics even a little bit. I guarantee you 99% of other shops will never hear anything about that.
