Other Publishers and General Comic Book Discussion Thread

If you’re not reading it yet, go to your closest bookstore and pick up: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness.

if you dig rock music, videogames, romantic comedy, and other crazy fanboyish shit, you’ll love it.

it’s by Oni Press, and is published like a Manga digest. $11.95 (or thereabouts).

the author is Bryan Lee O’Malley (the guy who wrote “Lost at Sea”), and it’s fucking GOOD!

read it, love it.

I got the third Spawn trade today. 24 issues, the thing is huge! They are up to like issue 54 already! Only read the fist story in the book, oh snap Twitch’s wife is hot how the hell that happened? Thumbed through the pages and I see Cygor’s in the book. Yay another character from the Capcom Dreamcast Spawn game that I get to meet! Only about 20 more characters to go…

Picked up Buffy the Vampire Slayer #2 today. It was a little confusing. I didn’t really enjoy it.

Mike Oeming kicked my ass at arm-wrestling. True story. That guy is buff.

Holy crap I forgot that came out yesterday. Then again the weather was really bad by me so I went to the bootleg spot near my job to get books and they don’t always have everything. Most def gonna pick that up, thnx!

Wow. I don’t log on for a couple weeks and then suddenly there’s an entire forum for comics talk. I’m completely overwhelmed now. I don’t know where to post.

There you are Zephyranthes! I thought you were hiding out for the last few weeks of the 52 Poo so you wouldn’t have to put X-Force #1 on your fridge! :rofl:

I heard Week 47 got delayed in Siberia. I think I deserve the win.

Say word Megatron Origin story! :rock:

Picked up Buffy #3 today. Pretty funny.

I’m not sure who the character on the final page is. Was he in the show?

That’s Warren, the geeky dude who made a robot GF and latter killed Willow’s lesbo lover. Remember when Willow ripped his flesh off? Well, there he is!

Do you know who Ethan was supposed to be? I’m drawing a blank…

Great issue BTW. I wonder who kissed Buffy, Xander or Willow… :rofl:

Thanks Sano.

Ethan Rayne was in a couple of episodes in the early seasons of Buffy. He used to be buddies with Giles. I don’t remember too much about him after that, but wikipedia has a good blurb on him:

Oh Giles’ old friend right. Thanks!

I bet you 10 bucks it was Willow. For all the things those two have been through during the years, it makes sense to me(probably held it in because Buffy isn’t gay.) I really hope it isn’t Xander(cause I want him to turn Willow bi damn it!!!)

I’m actually glad Warren is back! But I wonder what types of ablilties he has now…

Yeah I was a long time fan of the Xander and Willow hook up too and I wish they did make Willow bi but what can you do, at least their evil variants hooked up.

Paul Dini’s Madame Mirage is looking SEXAY! There’s a big article on it in this week’s Comic Shop News too.

have any of yall read battle chasers before?

Yeah I recently bought all three of those, they are great. Highly recommended.

Yeah I have all 6 issues that took 3 years to come out. :looney:

Nice art and story though, too bad it doesn’t look like it will ever finish and/or start up again.

Hope everyone had a good Free Comicbook day.

Most fucked up thing for me was when I got home, I noticed I picked up a reprint of the Hellboy story ‘The Corpse’, when I already have the trade it comes in. Oh well.
