Covok posted:Gotcha. I assumed it was on a 10 scale, but I guess it must mean 5.1 million. Nah. The scale is 100%. That means an estimated 5.1% of US televisions were watching it. In the old days, before cable took off, a show being anything below double-digits on a network meant death, but now the market is so fragmented that things like this are roaring success.

A given rating is the percentage of homes that can access a show watching it. For broadcast television, that equates to something approaching every home in the US. Cable ratings will show a higher rating meaning fewer homes viewing (and varies even by channel). But yeah a 5.1 is really good in 2018

I was a Rosanne watching kid. I was into checking it out, but the whole "live audience" thing came off as so phony I couldn't stand it for long. I should check out one of the original episodes to see if it really did feel more natural.

Digital comics alert: Amazon's gone crazy again and priced 278 Marvel graphic novels at a dollar. They're clearly feuding with Disney (you can't pre-order physical copies of any of their movies anymore; for contrast, Ready Player One already has a preorder page up and that came out literally five days ago), I wonder if these constant price slashes are another symptom of it.

It's a consolidation of their 99c new trades sales that have been running on Comixology all last month. It's Marvel's promotion. https://www.comixology.com/Recent-Marvel-Collections-Sale/page/18094 Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Apr 3, 2018 |

Teenage Fansub posted:It's a consolidation of their 99c new trades sales that have been running on Comixology all last month. It's Marvel's promotion. Wow, that's a very massive - and very random - sale. I'm going to need some opinions here. First of all, this artist hates Wolverine: Now that that's out of the way, I'd like some details on these: New Mutants by Zeb Wells: The Complete Collection Collects New Mutants (2009) #1-11, #15-21 and material from X-Necrosha #1 and Marvel Spotlight: New Mutants. It says Complete but I guess that's just a complete run, which is okay with me, but I'd like to know both how good it is and how much someone who has never faithfully read any X-men will be able to appreciate it. I know Sunspot(He's brazilian!) and Magik(She's Collosus weird sister) but that's it. New Mutants: Back To School - The Complete Collection Now, since this one was released before, I guess it would help me learn about the characters, but Christ, that's some terrible art. Unless it's absolutely mandatory I'd rather just read a wiki summary about them or something. Jubilee by Robert Kirkman This looks like it's totally my poo poo, except for the "By Robert Kirkman" bit. I have The Astounding Wolf-Man, which is pretty much gore porn and I've avoided Invincible for the same reason. I don't know how you could turn something like Jubilee into that but I'm still wary. Thor by Walter Simonson Vol. 1 There's a 99.9% chance I'm getting this and Vol.2 but 3 ain't on sale and that's a no-go for me. How much am I going to miss?

Samuringa posted:Thor by Walter Simonson Vol. 1 You're going to miss some of the greatest comics ever, that's how much you're going to miss. Those issues are awesome, but it's mostly set up for the really amazing stuff that's coming up. And without the next set of books, you won't find out what's going "DOOM DOOM DOOM".

Samuringa posted:New Mutants by Zeb Wells: The Complete Collection Zeb Wells' New Mutants is quite good, but it very much builds on stuff that came before it. I think you can still enjoy it all on its own, but I think you'll get more out of it if you've read the original New Mutants as well as Legion.

irlZaphod posted:Which art are you saying is terrible? The cover above is just from, I think, the last issue of the series (and isn't terrible). The interiors are all pretty different from what I remember. Anyway, it was a pretty decent series but it probably won't help you much with the 2009 New Mutants series. The 2003 one (above) was about a new class of students who were being taught by some of the original New Mutants characters. Most of the rest show up later (although Magik was still "dead" at this point iirc). I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this is some CAD-level art to me Does nobody have any opinions on the Jubilee mini? Aside from Thor, that's the one that piqued my interest the most.

Check this out: The Hulk is supposed to be grey in all the panels. Something went wrong with the coloring in Incredible Hulk #1 . I'm not sure I buy the official line that the grey was inconsistent and that panel was the worst of it since the jeep is colored exactly as the Hulk should be, but that's the panel that made Lee go, "Hey, that could work..."

I saw McFarlane do an interview thing with Stan last year at Emerald City and it was one of the best things I had ever witnessed. Stan was riffing on Todd and Todd was taking it all in good humour. They had a great understanding between the two and it was like watching old friends riff about the good old days. The jokes and banter was great and it really looked like Todd though of Stan as a mentor and father figure more than anything else. I am glad that he still keeps in touch with Stan and visits him.

Got drunk and bought all of Bruce Tim Justice League on Blu-ray. That poo poo really holds up and is a pro loving watch. It made me realize there's a lot of Bruce Tim content. You got four seasons of Batman the Animated Series, a season of Superman the animated series, two seasons of Batman Beyond, four seasons of Justice League, two seasons of static shock, and one season of Project Zeta. That's a lot of loving episodes. Oh, also movies. You got mask of the Phantasm, the mr. Freeze one, I think Superman had one, and the Joker one for Batman Beyond. That's pretty loving good. Oh, also that Harley Quinn movie that proves that you should never return and make a sequel to something after it's finished. If Frank Miller had awareness heat agree with me and I'm sure Alan Moore would agree with me. It's never a good idea, you will never match up to what you originally did. The expectation in their mind is too hard to match. Also, I just got to stop getting drunk and buying things. I mean, it wasn't too expensive but it's a really bad habit to have. I'm not made of money. Also, my liver.
