Spidergirl AKA May Parker is also known as Mayday. That is my contribution to this thread.

Didn't Spidergirl have like a 100 issue run?

I have been meaning to pick up more comic to prose authors for a while. I got King's A once crowded sky which was okay but definitely would have worked better as a comic than a novel. Been meaning to pick up some Rucka novels.

Obligatory mention of the two Alan Moore novels.

Isn't one more of a bludgeoning weapon than a novel?

I am super jealous and want to remove your arm and swap it with my sweet tattoo-less arm.

I'm currently on vacation and loaded about 10 graphic novels on my nexus 10 and I find the quality perfect really. 10 inch is the way to go as it still feels page sized and no bulky to hold. That's my advertisement for the day

I'm not sure how, but I managed to pull off an A on this 20 page research paper I wrote on orientalist trends in Middle Eastern depictions in American comics.

Did you mention Khandaq a bunch of times?

Re: Lurdiak: sorry to hear that mate. That truly sucks.

Re: signings: at emerald city this year Alred was there and there was a considerable line and dine jerk brought every single thing Alred had ever dine to get signed. Alred was very nice and did that and chatted to the guy with a big grin but it was pissing of everyone waiting in the line, especially those who only had a few things to sign. People in the line have the jerk a Bronx cheer when he got all his things signed and left. That one signing took nearly 45 minutes.
Claremont was charging 5 dollars per book but I think the money went to the hero initiative charity and it was a good way to stop people from asking him to sign every single comic he has ever done.
Most creators usually give a hard cap like first 5 items are free but after that its a dollar per sig which I am okay with.

I wish I had cool conversations with comic creators. I did talk MLS with Rucka once I guess.
With regards to Bendis he did a signing at ECCC this year in a big signing room and I think there was supposed to be a 5 item limit but BMB announced loudly that he would sign everything. His handlers weren't too happy about that (and yes it looked like someone brought every issue of Ultimate Spiderman)

About 90% merch, about 5% creators (including panels, signing etc) about 2% beer related incidents and about 3% filled with people who came just to look at the cool costumes

Do you think there's anyone out there whose first exposure to the Ramones wasn't hearing Blitzkrieg Bop in a commercial for a waterpark?

Most likely a sporting event.

I agree that Mr Miracle is misery porn but King does an amazing job with the new parenting piece so I honestly don’t care. Those issues are spot on.

Age with this. You can say MM is most pornographers or a comic dealing with some issues of mental illness mixed with Kirby weirdness but for me MM nails married life so freaking well that it leaves me in awe.
