I read Chainsaw Man 9 today. I know there's two volumes left and you can't judge a series until you get to the end but I'm willing to plant a flag here and say Chainsaw Man is the greatest comic book ever.

With Netflix losing their Marvel shows in two weeks (and giving people very little advance warning), should I finally get around to watching them?

I saw the first season of Daredevil and Jessica Jones and meant to get around to the rest eventually...

The first half of the first season of Luke Cage is also quite good. The rest is skippable.

I also did not know it existed, and I watched S2 of JJ, and reading the synopsis indicates that it really kinda just sounds like S2 again but with adoptive sister drama instead of momma drama.

If we finally got Patsy Walker: Hellcat I might have to give that a look

Speaking of omnibusii for some reason Amazon just can't understand how they work when it comes to recommendations. Like I read the omnibus of Before the Incal and now my recommendations are full of the various individual trades that the omnibus covers.

A while back Barnes and Noble used to put recommendations on your receipt. I remember when I bought volume 2 of the Strain trilogy, the recommendations were volume 1 of the Strain, volume 3 of the Strain, volume 1 in hardcover, and volume 2 in hardcover.

Silver Sprocket is quickly becoming one of my favorite publishers (it's them and Floating World Comics I think)

Oh hell yeah, I'm gonna preorder that at my local comic shop. I wonder if they're going to include anything about all the online drama that happened when it was found out he wasn't actually married to Betty Boop. Its a book so they can't include the videos

Man, the idea that the Captain Marvel movie is an Air Force commercial is so loving weird. There was cross promotions with the air force so some people, even people who claim to have actually watched the movie, believe the movie itself is pro-Air Force. It's one of those things where people's distaste for the MCU as a cultural behemoth makes it impossible for them to accurately view the movie.

It's a silly thing to think because there wasn't any "cross promotion". Any movie that uses any military stuff has to have them sign off so that's why the Air Force is credited, but it's not like the movie is about how cool the US Military is. The literal plot is that the militaristic force she's fighting for is actually an imperialistic bunch of invaders and the "bad guys" are just an indigenous population trying to survive. It's not subtle

yeah the cross promotion was all in the advertising. The text of the movie itself in no way promoted the Air Force

My local comic shop had their annual summer sale today. They didn't have a lot of the stuff I was looking for, but for some reason they had a ton of old sci-fi paperbacks for a buck fifty each.

This rules

The weird thing is that it's not one of the old fashioned comic stores filled with random stuff the owner has gotten their hands on over the decades, stuff into corners and hidden in stacks. It's a modern clean family friendly comic shop with windows and lights and everything. Annoyingly they don't even stock the hornier comics. So it's baffling that they had a full shelf of 60 year old sci-fi novels in mint condition

I read Dark Nights Death Metal. I'd read Dark Knights Metal before, so I assume I wouldn't be too out of the loop, but Dark Knights Death Metal begins with the world having been destroyed and recreated by Joker Batman and Wonder Woman running his prison, and has the absolute most barebones flashback to explain how any of that happened.

On a meta level, I like how it says that crises and universe reboots are stupid and the only proper thing to do is make everything canon even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff. That's pretty good. But as a story it's not great. There's a lot of very portentous talk about the future, and hope, and so on, and counter portentous talk about how the future and hope and so on are bad. It turns out Batman has been dead since an event that wasn't shown in the comic which I'm sure would have been mindblowing if I had any idea when that event happened. Joker Batman gets the powers of Dr. Manhattan and then spends the rest of the story doing nothing but chasing The Flash.

Also the back of the book makes a lot of musical references so I assumed it would tie into Superman defeating Darkseid in Final Crisis with a song, but it doesn't.

I'm happy about what it did for the DC universe but it's not a very good comic. Maybe if I had read the events in between Dark Knights Metal and Dark Knights Death Metal it would've worked better.

I don't know if it was actually my first comic book, but the earliest comic I have a clear memory of reading was an issue of Spider-Man where a building is taken over by gremlins, and Dr. Strange, a character I had never heard of before, helps Spider-Man through the magical barrier so he can fight the Gremlins while Strange himself sits on top of the building and astrally projects in to guide him. It was part 1 of 2 but I don't think I ever found the second issue.
