I ama huge Grant Morrison fan and I can't imagine ever in a million years wanting to go to Morrison con.

Also, why is Thor's hammer in that graphic? did Grant Morrison do a run of Thor?

Turns out it was actually a neo-Nazi conference. Boy was Uzi surprised!

So with Comics Alliance down apparently for good this time, what's the best comic news site to put in my feed? I realize that actual journalism is an impossible ask; I'll settle for recaps of big event comics and "in case you missed it" call-outs of interesting shock endings to random comics. Basically who's gonna tell me the two sentences I need to know before they impact the comics I care about so that I don't have to actually read bullshit like The Button or Secret Empire?

Is it real Stan Lee or some guy named Stan Lee?

If real ask him how much blow did he do in the 70s
Real.

I've been meaning to read his Queen And Country novels, as well, since I like the comic series a lot.

Peter David has some novels. His Apropos of Nothing series sounds interesting, but I haven't read, so I can't comment specifically.

I'm going to be scarce for a bit due to a death in my immediate family. So reports will likely go unread for the next five or six days as I'll only be using the app on my phone if I drop by. If something that needs any real attention comes up, not that this ever happens here anyway, PM me and I'll get to it if I can or get someone that can get to it.

Sorry to hear, boss. We'll hold down the fort

Awesome, the no crossover thing is just because I'll be reading on a tablet and Marvel Unlimited is still an annoying rear end app to use for crossovers. I read Kraven's Last Hunt a couple months ago and I spent almost as much time trying to find the next issue as I did reading any of them. (Good story btw, If they added a way to share "playlists" for lack of a better word Marvel Unlimited would be the best loving thing ever instead of just being pretty awesome)
There's a crossover with Uncanny X-Men before House of M.

To be fair, Simone was a terrible poster.

Much like me.

I feel like someone did before (maybe even E&C?) but this might be more up to date.

Like I know when I saw this, very little of it was new news to me.

gently caress, man, here you go: Ready Player One is about how a bad and broken man warped the world in his own image and horribly damaged it in so doing, and the main character is a semi-broken young man on the same path who has to learn through painful experience that that's a lovely, stupid path to follow. I don't give a flying gently caress if that's not the story the author was trying to write, or that he clearly thinks he wrote a pretty awesome future.

It's also just a really terrible book that leans way too hard on HEY NERDS LOOK A REFERENCE YOU KNOW and then also explaining exactly what the reference is to let the non-nerds in on it

Do you have an rss feed so I can add it to my podcast app? It sounds like something I'd be into

Grrl Scouts let me down. Mahfood's art has gotten really scratchy in a way I'm not terribly fond of. And I say this as someone who has one of his prints hanging in his apartment.

Basically this:

Grrl Scouts: Work Sucks #2 (2003)

vs this:

Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks #1 (2017)

So if you have a Kindle or any tablet with a Kindle app, Amazon seems to have gone pants-on-head crazy: They're selling hundreds (possibly thousands?) of TPBs at insane prices. And these are both recent and relevant! Secret Wars is $3.40, 1602 is $3.00, and God Loves, Man Kills is $0.80. This is lunacy.

They also attach to your Comixology account, so you don't specifically need a Kindle or Kindle app.
