I'm many issues deep into Peter David's Hulk and they're still just kinda loving around in the desert. It's decent, but when does it get amazing and when does the child abuse stuff come up?

Man that is some harsh stuff, but what he said about being two paychecks away from homelessness really hits hard. The dude deserves great things just by making the Maxx a semi-coherent story, and I remember his run on Flash being the first Flash I had ever read. I am kind of surprised that the Hero Initiative hasn't looked into his case. I thought stuff like this is what they were set up for.

I'm sure Mark Waid will do something if he didn't already know. Going to talk to the owner of my comic store to see if we can get Bill in for Free Comic Book Day. I sold him a few sci fi paperback novels a couple years back, and now I feel bad I didn't just give them to him. I was a big fan of the Maxx when it was on MTV, and was actually watching it at the bar a couple nights ago.

He's always the name previous to or following runs I'm supposed to read. That always gave me the impression that he was an unexceptional jobber put on something when the important folks weren't around. Guessing that's pretty incorrect. It'd be swell if DC started collecting his stuff now.

It'd be swell if DC started collecting his stuff now. His Flash is genuinely fantastic and Waid's run builds on it rather than abandoning the years of character building Messner-Loebs did. He basically told a five year story of Wally realizing it was time to grow up and trying to deal with being in Barry's shadow. Pied Piper coming out was a pretty significant moment in comics, too. His Wonder Woman is decent, though in that instance it suffers from just being decent comics rather than being something great like his Flash. A bit more obscure, but his Epicurus the Sage is a pretty interesting book.

You should read the Maxx before and after he had his run with the character and then you can appreciate the work he did in reigning in Keith's tendencies.

How come there weren't any Aeon Flux comics? It seems like an intriguing world and setting that more could have been done with than the handful of episodes and the not great movie.

Where does everyone order their trades from? I like trolling the used section of my local comic store or Half-Price Books in person, but online is different. Buying online from places that don't combine shipping is annoying--like there's a seller on Amazon who has the first 4 Silver Surfer trades we were talking about earlier for less than $6 a piece, but shipping on each one is $4. I emailed the vendor asking if they could combine shipping and they said they couldn't, as per Amazon's policy--but I'm not going to spend $16 on shipping when they're all coming from and going to the same place. I know there's some Amazon voodoo poo poo going on where vendors have to charge more shipping just to pay for the listing fees or something, and even if I add $4 to the price, it still comes out under $10 on some of them, it's just the principle of the thing I guess. So is there a good site that has a shifting stock of used or discount trades and does free or combined shipping? I like looking at https://www.hamiltonbook.com/products/search?q=&cat_id=GN every now and then--they offer some good discounts on stuff and the stock changes enough that I usually find a few new things to add to my wishlist. And they have reasonable shipping.

Like a decade ago I really liked using half.com especially since I would flip trades for like 80% of what I paid to buy more trades. No idea what it's like now, but you'd run into the same issues with not being able to combine shipping when buying multiple books from the same vendor.

I'm in Canada so my options are pretty much Amazon and Ebay, otherwise I end up paying more for shipping than I do for the book

So I got kind of curious and decided to see how many pages Jack Kirby actually penciled a month. And because it's a good of month as any, I went with November 1961 (which is really around August 1961 given production schedules and newsstand distribution). Now take a guess to how many pages, including covers, the King did that month? It's higher. I know you're going, "But I said-" Well, it's still higher. Guess again. Higher than that. Yes, we are going there. A bit more than that even. Jack Kirby penciled _119_ pages the month he did Fantastic Four #1! There weren't even any reprints of his stories, all new material. Now I know you're saying, "Ah, but a lot of the books were bimonthly at that point. So Kirby might not have had any pages next month." Well, you're right so I checked and it turned out that he did pencil less pages the following month. Kirby only penciled _70__ pages in December.
