Go to CommentYou'll Appreciate This: Bloom County - The Complete Library
On Nov 9, 2009 12:40 PMVery cool. I have several collections of Bloom County already in soft covers. Behind Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side (which really pushes the idea of comic, one panel isn't really sequential is it) Bloom County was the comic strips I collected most. This might sound slight, but bear in mind I have 6 or 7 collections of C&H and Far Side a piece.

On Nov 3, 2009 8:48 AMI just wanted to throw in more support for vandamowens. Just being there and teaching means the world to some of these kids, whether they can articulate it or not. Keep working, keep caring, it makes more of a difference than I think we ever know. Go teachers!

On Oct 28, 2009 6:01 PMI bought the first trade from Grecian when I was in Chicago. He was a pretty cool guy and the book has this great X-Files vibe to it.

On Oct 22, 2009 12:00 PMI love Omnibuses and oversized books. Bigger pages make me really slow down and appreciate the art more, and having more story at once is always good because I always want to read more. I recently finished the Strangers in Paradise Omnibuses. Those huge tombs took almost two weeks to read and have like 1200 pages per book. Every bit of the reading experience felt larger ...

Go to CommentWanted: Comic Book Stylists
On Oct 14, 2009 12:00 PMI think costume design has to be flashy and memorable moreso than functional. The headband makes Dazzler look less like everyone else in the book. That's why it's necessary. I can see being upset over the weird chairs and clothes in some books, but its never bothered me in super hero books. Like Xomneon said, it's a world removed from my own. Who knows what kind of...

And if people want more free comics online after they finish these there are a couple issues completed of a fantasy comic my brother and I have been working on called 3rd World on our site www.strips4.com It's not as professional obviously, but fans of Bone and Di...
Go to CommentSomething about Batman, the Avengers, and Rainbows
On Oct 13, 2009 1:00 PMI know DC is going to bring Bruce back, my hope is that they hold off for a good long while. Or that when he comes back Bruce is fundamentally changed. I think the coolest thing they could do is have Bruce come back and Dick still run around as Batman. I don't mind that the history's are fluid. I love good stories. If it's something I'm interested in, that's my canon. ...
