You picked the right time to ask. https://www.cbr.com/dick-tracy-mike-allred-idw-comic-book/ edit: The strip is still being published https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2018/06/24 Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Jun 24, 2018 |

As a public service announcement just in case I'm not the last person to discover this, 4 seasons of Batman the Animated Series are available right now for streaming through Amazon Prime. I wish I'd known this ages ago.

An especially amazing feat considering the show only had 3 seasons.

The 4th DVD volume is The New Batman Adventures, so that's probably it.

the old Jungle Action Featuring Black Panther comics are way better than you'd expect based on that title

io9 interviewed GameStop about their plan to sell comics and it's mostly interesting, but there's a real doozy in there: apparently they're planning on offering trade-ins on comics too.quote:For us, the biggest opportunities are actually pre-order and trade. Most of our external messages are really about the circle of life, and how you can pre-order at GameStop and bring in trades for purchase of other products. We do that well now, from new video games to pre-owned, and, more recently, consumer goods and collectibles. I think that you’ll see us get into the position of generating some excitement around pre-order and trade in the [comics] space, as well. quote:Does that mean you won’t be doing a back-catalog strategy where you buy back and stock older releases, like you do with video games? I really can't imagine how the whole thing's going to shake out. I keep thinking, simultaneously, that if I was running a comic book store I'd be loving terrified right now, and also imagining dudes bringing in entire longboxes and getting offered $1.50 towards a pre-order of Batman #75.

A Strange Aeon posted:Would there really be a market for the latest issue used for 25 cents off? No, not at all. Like, you only buy floppies monthly if you want to be up-to-date every month. So, waiting for a used copy defeats the purpose. Collectors know it being used lowers its value (HA!). And 25 cents off a comic doesn't make it that cheap. That said, I'd probably buy last week's comics for $1 or something the following week.

All they've really announced is that they'll be carrying some titles on spinner racks, right? Those quotes seem like just standard business talk "We're getting into this new area which is very exciting for paradigm business growth! We aren't announcing anything now, but in the future this could be really huge! Our share prices should go up because I'm suggesting future growth but not actually announcing anything so nobody can get mad!"

Second hand floppies could work fine. Presumably the audience is more people wandering in who wouldn't care very much if it was new release wednesday, so when Mr. Comic Book Man has done his reading and trades Batman #52 in the next day, little Joey will see one for $3.50 next to an identical $3.99 copy and why not save some pennies?

Lots and lots and lots of stores offer 10-20% discounts on new comics, so I have a hard time seeing GameStop selling used comics for the same price.

I finished Pather's Rage, the first Black Panther solo story arc. It was good! I've got some questions about the Black Panther comics that came after Do Tayete and Kazibe stay on as recurring characters? I really hope so, they're fantastic What happens to Monica? I thought it was really clever to have Black Panther dating an African American woman. She worked really well as a symbol of the west, outside forces that were tearing Black Panther's attentions away from his home, while still making the story entirely about black people. Plus she just seemed like a cool lady. I know That BP eventually marries Storm. Is that as lame as it sounds?

I didn't read it, so I don't know if it's good or not, but you have 40 some odd years worth of comics before you need worry about Black Panther and Storm. Also they are no longer married. I did like the brief bit in Fantastic Four where they replaced Reed and Sue.

The weird thing was for how fun his FF run was his simultaneous Fantastic Four comic kind of sucked.

I am reading Young Justice on Comixology and I am wondering why I have never read this title before. It seems to have the perfect amount of humour and heart going through it, especially if I ignore the continuity weirdness in the title. My only exposure to anything Young Justice-named before was the cartoon which I really enjoyed but which came across more as a teen soap opera with heroes than the comic I'm reading. It took me a while to get used to the art though but now I just kind of accept it.

You can completely ignore the F4 part. I stopped reading those after two issues and finished FF.

I've been sitting on the omnibus for a while. I need to get around to reading it. The F4 stuff seemed a little too beholden to the Lee/Kirby era while FF had a better balance of new and old fundamentals. Fraction had a great Fantastic Four formspring at the time.
