Just got Charles Soule's novel in the mail. It's weird reading long prose from people when you're used to just spending 5-10 minutes on their stories.

Last issue policeman Quick Draw McGraw had to violently arrest Huckberry Hound in a raid on an underground gay bar hours after they made love. If Hanna and/or Barbera are alive, I'd love to know their thoughts.

edit: Or not, on second thoughts. I just wonder if they get comps.
ee: Both dead.

Someone made a guide for the FCBD selection this year.

My local only lets you carry away two free comics (if this year's rules are the same as the last)
I'll try to get World's Greatest Cartoonists and Barrier if they have them. The big two stuff usually gets on Comixology anyway.

Just got off the phone with the Hellboy Hellwater people. They're dropping off some bottles, posters and other promotional stuff so we can do a tasting tomorrow.

Like every year, I'll be dressed as smiling Batman.

Quoting to break the dumb movie argument.
Ours here on the underside of the world is in a few hours.

DC put out what should have been their premiere FCBD future story sampler thing on wednesday for 25c, surely just to get it on the sales charts, since 'free' probably doesn't count.
Hopefully every shop just chucks their leftovers on the free pile on the day.

No, it's bad. I'll eat my words the day they make a Star Wars movie that doesn't have at least one of the following: a lightsaber, a X-Wing, a Tie Fighter

Which they never will. The original Star Wars movies were good movies, but they were just simple childrens adventure stories about good guys fighting an evil wizard. There's not enough there there to build on. So in order to make a new movie a Star Wars movie, all they can do it use object and images from the originals

edit: I didn't realize it was Star Wars day today till reading that hashtag.

This is interesting. Apparently comic sales haven't really dropped since the 2000s. Just stagnated.

Did anybody read that thing where the Justice League was all evil Batmans? how was it?

Metal? It had major fun moments, but blew the landing a bit (imo.) The evil Batmans are actually hardly in it if you don't read their one-shot tie-ins.

Have you read Final Crisis, Multiversity or Snyder's Batman already?

Teenage Fansub

You could just jump in to Metal, but they're the major building blocks or references (and they're better.)

Snyder's just starting his Justice League run as a follow-up to Metal, and everything you need to know is spelled out on the first page.

I guess there's no chance of well-known comic artists' private commissions ever seeing the light of day in a published volume? I think it'd be kind of fascinating--just imagine seeing footless Liefeld porn between the 90s Image heroes.

I don't think it's any stuff from people's private collections or anything, but you can get a Bruce Timm naughty art book.

e: And there's a book of that Joe Shuster erotica stuff.

You'd think the DC streaming thing could use a prestige adult show like that.

He just did ASM 800. I think the last big interiors things were Star Wars and Empress.

And apparently his inker didn't quite get the retirement thing right.
https://www.newsarama.com/40139-immonen-elaborates-on-comics-retirement.html

quote:

"My exclusive agreement with Marvel wound down some time ago. Everyone involved is happily still on good terms," Immonen told Newsarama. "As to the rest, I have no immediate plans; if the right project with the right collaborators came along, I would of course consider it. For the moment however, Kathryn and I are enthusiastically devoting our time and energy to non-work matters."

Hopefully 'enthusiastically' means nobody's sick.

edit: Deleted "Batman covers". I always get him mixed up with Olivier Coipel.
