So client with the rush job over the long weekend cancelled it when they found out the price. Hilariously, it was discounted. Never again will I try to accommodate nonsense like that, not worth it.

Full of lies There, I fixed it. We need to stop being polite www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/ene...
Your math is off. I bought that issue of Captain America off the rack when it came out and that was only... Oh jebus, I'm old as fuck aren't I?
Hanging with the boys tonight.
One of the all time greats has passed. Seriously, this guy was great in everything. Dances with Wolves, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Red Green. Sad day.
Talking about the comicbook character. This was just me having an idea and sharing it without context.
Well said.
If you don't support Trans rights fully, if you even slightly entertain the suggestion that it's a topic to be debated, fuck off.
Dave and I have very different approaches to life. That's the photo I WANT them to use.
Marvel Studios Special Presentation: Sleepwalker I really think that concept will translate mediums well. Sleepwalker, as fun as his series was, never reached his full potential.
Someone didn't watch Kids in the Hall as a kid! Dave Foley makes for an attractive woman and it may have shaped a generation of Canadian men. Idle wishes he was a Foley. 😁
Love Nova! Duly noted. Will check it out.
Good to know. haven't read that series either, but keep hearing about it.
Just read my first ever, random issue of that series. I loved it. I didn't understand all of it, coming in mid story but it was very, very clever and I want to read it from the start now. Excellent comicbook, excellent use of the medium.
That's on my do read list. Really need to get to it!!!
I still have 2 binders of the Marvel ones.
My copy, one of the first times I bought comics, was passed around my 13th birthday party because of the page where Mary Jane takes off her top. A grabbing match ensued. It's damaged to the point of almost being worthless, yet it's one of my most valuable comics cause of that memory.
I found #1 in a bin years ago, never heard of it before and grabbed it immediately. Want more. I've read very little of the character since but what I have read, I liked a lot.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Discount haul reading continues Nightwing 111 I have Dixon's run, but only bits and pieces of Grayson's run as writer of this title. The draw here though was Hester's art. Which despite his name being listed in the cover, does not have his art in this issue.
#6 is the last issue I have, but really hope I can find the last few issues I don't have. Really enjoyed this series
This reminds me of the reddit post where the guy convinced his buddy that beans were woke and said buddy became very sad because he liked making chili but had to stop. Because he was told beans are woke. Beans. We really do need to deal with the stupidity problem humanity is facing.
Tbh it’s a deep seeded level of bigotry they have and they’ve never questioned it. They answered their own questions. Lots of people change their name, why are they bothered by the reasons trans folk change their names?
So many people care about shit like this and I do not understand why. What a waste of energy.
Only 12 hours left for the Trans Lifeline fundraiser in my store! I'll be donating 100% of the profits of ALL Valiant Comic sales through midnight! A great time to check out Faith if you've been meaning to! You can also take 15% off all Valiant Comics with code LIFELINE. ko-fi.com/jodyhouser/l...
I'm gonna have to reread this with different eyes and ponder it a bit more. Totally appreciate what you are saying.
Interesting. Whereas I've really enjoyed that writer, both his comics and his novels. His Green Arrow arc is one of my all time favorite comic stories. I clearly didn't feel what you felt with I.C., but now that you've said that, I can see why that would put you off him.
Accurate assessment. Completely agree.
With no exaggeration whatsoever Cap is the best translation from comic to film that the MCU executed. It should be a low bar to cross but they’ve tripped on it too many times with other characters.
I really liked the fall out/interpersonal dynamics it creates where Batman was furious (and had through through the repercussions of the mind wipe) Clearly, it didn't work for everyone but it had me buying DC comics that I wasn't buying before.
When he throws himself onto the grenade, I was all in. Straight through till & including Endgame, that iteration of Captain America was fantastic.
I gotta say, it was very exciting at the time. And the JLA arc that spun out of it was excellent.
Walking home with my groceries and the local church has just let out Passed a very distraught woman explaining to someone else that "there's no God in that church." I have no idea what the context was but I was very tempted to say "that's not the only one they're missing from"
Only have a couple of issues, but yeah, it was solid stuff. There is even a Frank Castle arc I found in a quarter bin years and years ago.
HEY CREW- Super excite to share the sign up for notification for my next Kickstarter. If you can click on the link and sign up and share this it would be greatly appreciate ! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cre...
Also, there is a rifftrax copy of RoboCop the series episode 2 available. Finally, I have no idea why I have this much RoboCop knowledge, I saw part 3 and then decades later, part 1, and didn't like either.
Fun fact. RoboCop is an honorary member of the real Toronto Police force. They filmed that show here and there was an official police/city ceremony to to induct him. It was embarrassing for everyone.
As a huge fan of the time travel genre of fiction and physics, TIME magazine was always a bit of a disappointment.
They're the perfect discount bin find. Not groundbreaking but loads of fun. And it's Giffen. Even on a bad day, Giffen is a really good story teller. I'm delighted with them so far
My 15 yr old self's head would explode to learn Man-Wolf crossed media like this. Man-Wolf This timeline is getting some things right.
High praise. I can't say it's my favorite, but I very much enjoyed it Glad I grabbed all the ones I found!
I skipped New 52 completely and deliberately at the time. Since the pandemic however, I've gotten so, so much of. There was a lot of gold in that era so that's high praise indeed.
Loving it so far. 😁 Issue #2 last page reveal was great, though you need to be a fan of pre New 52 DC to understand it.
Issue #2 page #1 reveals OMAC stands for One Machine Attack Construct. Can't say I like it, but let's see where it goes. (Changing Kirby always seems foolhardy but I'll give it a chance...)
You deserve so much better than what this world has given you so far. Hugs.
Next up OMAC #1 by Didio and Giffen I absolutely loved their take on The Doom Patrol so snagged this immediately upon seeing it. Actually got 1, 2,3,5,6 and didn't realize Giffen also drew these! (If I see Giffen's name, I just buy the conic these days) #1 was fun enough, about to read #2.
Delightful. And those ears!
Yikes So sorry to hear this. The older I get, the more I realize how I won the lottery when it comes to parents. They've always been loving, supportive and continue to grow and surprise me.
Never had roommates either! (Unless you count the girlfriend who became my wife)
My discount haul reading continues Voodoo #4 First issue of this series I ever read, would love to read the rest. Will keep an eye out for these Marz once talked about how the changing New52 editorial lead to them not liking what he was doing, despite it being exactly what he had pitched.
Yup, I'm weird Also very lucky, in that my parents let me live at home so I could save money to buy a house, back when such a thing was possible (Just barely, but it was possible...had I waited a year, I'd have been priced out of the market completely. )
If I had to guess, it'll be VERY important on Tuesday morning! 😀
Another post made me think about all the "normal" life experience everyone else seems to have had that I haven't: • Driving a car • Drinking a coffee • Breaking up with a romantic partner • Moving house more than once in your life Which ones are you missing?
Once, my entire life. From my parent's place to my current place, 10 blocks away.
Client wants a rush job, over the long weekend, hasn't delivered elements in a timely manner NOR in a manner that I can actually access and is not responding to emails. So yeah, this ain't happening
Never has "He's still alive" been met with such disappointment. We live in weird times.
He has been a bizarre yet delightful addition to the cast of that comic!
Agree On all accounts. This is the plan
Same Why they appeal to so many is as fascinating to me as the stories themselves.
It's a solid tale, but the "multiverse" aspect of it isn't as fresh as it was when this was created. Not its fault though. This the Authority being the Authority. And its done well. I'll definitely be hunting down the issues I'm missing, but also, this is probably the last Authority I'll buy
Discount bin haul continues with issues 7,10,11&12 of The Authority The lost year When Grant Morrison's run lasted 2 issues, Keith Giffen was tapped to finish the story and I'll be honest, Giffen is a much more consistent writer to me. I now have the start and end of this run
I would have been all over these...
Watched that for the first time about 6 months ago. Great film Wish I had made time for it sooner.
The never gets old. And once you know it, you'll hear it all over the place. Barcardi ad used it a couple of years ago. Ted Lasso used it for a montage. They're still selling that tune!
That's my sweet spot. I love finding these gem that don't break the bank.
I have 1 issue of this series. Quarter bin find, totally beat up, had never read Gil Kane before but I needed to buy it, just felt I needed to read it as soon as I saw it. I have a real fondness for Ray Palmer because of that issue. Would love to read the full thing one day.
That would be a great scene actually. Wild, never thought about that connection either.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Agree. His short stint on Brooklyn 99 was brilliant Literally everything he touches gets better!!
I absolutely am, LOVE that series!!! Thank you so much for sharing these! Oh Popo, you delightful asshole.
Continuing on my discount comic haul is Justice League America 61 I have 1-60 of the Bwahaha era (greatest run of any comic ever?) but Jurgens run is a hole in my collection I'm trying to correct as I've really, really fallen in love with his work in the last decade.
One of my clients has a team of really nice people that do not understand that I'm not on staff and therefore not available at a moment's notice. I try to accommodate as best I can, but you can't come at me the day you want to discuss a project in depth and assume I'm free right then and there.
huh? I don't have this issue at all. Partly cause my posts don't have much reach (and I'm fine with that) and partly because I block people at the first hint of behaviour I wouldn't accept in person.
Cats are scared and I can't edit audio because of the effing airshow. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
Fun comic, will grab the rest of I see them. Dorkin has everyone's voices down perfectly
While working on a newsmagazine show, one of the reporters was covering a US shooting. I suggested if/when she got the "Thoughts & Prayers" reply, she should follow up with "and what actions have your thoughts and prayers led you to take?" She thought that was a great idea Producer forbid it.
This was so predictable and I knew I could count on Premier Ford to do nothing to prevent this from happening. One of the most effective recycling programs on the planet, he ruined it and there is no plan to fix it. www.cp24.com/news/canada/...
Thanks for sharing this. Listened to them so much as teen.
I bought Dorkin's Bill & Ted Marvel comics back in the day (The day being the 90s) but had no idea he revisited them in 2020 Let's see how this one goes down
Part of my discount bin haul, The Rogues New Years Evil one shot Austyn writes (during his run as Editor to Waid's Flash) Wagner on art. It's an okay but ultimately forgettable comic. Won't add it to my Flash collection like I planned, better suited for my "give away at Halloween" pile.

You sir, just won the internet for today!
This footage took a turn I was not expecting! Here is the actual transcript: "In the next section I'll be talking about exercise and movement as medicine. I think you'll be surprised to learn what sort of shape Jesus was in!"
Burn it Burn it down, salt the earth it touched and shun it's creators.
When the people who design the system, don't have to use the system!
I wasn't into much, but man I was into that album. Can still half mumble all the words.
Solid plan. Have fun with it.
They're not ALL winners, amrite? I'll be here all week, Tip your waitstaff!
Counterpoint: He didn’t get enough mean looks from people at restaurants.
Shitty people should get mean looks. People as shitty as him should be shunned
Lol I felt bad writing that, so mean to the creative team. But it's true.
Vanity Fair staff out here with more conviction than every news outlet.
Read Web of Spider-Man when he was in it. Years and years later I snagged Night watch #1 at a geek swap and it's probably the best value I've ever gotten from a comic. I've read it 3 times and it's so forgettable, ever time feels new.
Not gonna lie, the first issue I read from today's massive haul were underwhelming, so I've jumped over to All Star Western. Snagged a half dozen issues and I'm only part way through #2 (first I have) and it's fantastic. Palmiotti & Gray are a hell of a combo, doubly so when the genre is Western
Agree This was actually a reward. I completed a months long project, the biggest I've ever produced for a client and decided early on that I'd take $100 of the profits to just buy discount comics. I regret nothing!!!
I've seen screen grabs but haven't seen that one. Love, love, love that they did that. The creators are so vital and yet so forgotten in tv/movies.
Hanging with the kittens in the backyard, having a beer and reading All Star Western comics
Scion #33 was a nice find, as I'm still missing a lot of the latter half of this series. Sadly there was a guest penciler on this issue and it wasn't quite on par with what this series usually delivered.
I'm a huge New Warriors fan, and more Specifically Speedball is one of my all time favorite characters. Understanding my bias is important when I tell you this was an absolutely terrible comic book. Just terrible. Yet I still want the 3 issues I'm missing!
