I'm a little surprised it didn't trip those laws saying you can't put Santa on beer bottles.

Chuckling at a bon mot from the Dark Knight Detective, I pick up my CyanogenMod-flashed Moto X and check how my bitcoin holdings are doing. I get my manservant to read my comics for me. Then write scathing posts about said comics on the forum Batman's Shameful Secret.

One of my desk's legs gave up last week and I decided to have a bit of fun replacing the leg, so I bought and stacked every volume of Astonishing X-Men under the former leg. Twice.

I felt bad using the Marjorie Liu, Christeros Gage, and Warren Ellis volumes for this so I'm slowly swapping them out with volumes of Buffy. (I don't actually dislike Jazz Weston that much, but he is definitely a writer that I find very easy to get frustrated with when he does gently caress up)

DrProsek posted:That actually sounds amazing... Was that supposed to be the reason Scarlet is terrible? The problem is that it's unfinished, although Amazon has an August release date for the second volume. It's decent but from memory (and I think Bendis talked about this in an interview) about same time when the 1st volume ended is when Occupy started and there were a lot of parallels which make the book read weird coming at it from after Occupy.

This is only tangentially related to comics, but I mentioned writing this in another thread here in BSS months ago and people said they wanted me to drop the link when it went up. Street Fighter: Ranking All the Characters To be on topic:  I hate you, The Ferret.

The title says "ranking all the characters" and yet notably absent are the new ones from the Street Fighter released just in time for the article.

Haha, gently caress Remy. I've already pointed out that I totally disagree with you about Charlie, but I can't believe how high you ranked Rufus. It's a shame the EX characters weren't included in this list. I know most of them suck, but Darun Mister is like 20 times cooler than Hakkan, to me.

Remy is a later KOF character that wandered into Street Fighter by mistake, and stole Guile's moves in embarrassment when he realized he wasn't allowed to use Orochi here.

He totally would have been Guile's kid if they used the SFIII cast more. I hope he's V DLC.

I have this dude, comes in every Wednesday, every single week, picks books up off the shelf and tries to dictate his own prices. He'll bring the stack up, ask how much it is and promptly off half price. We have never given him a deal but he keeps trying going on three years now.

Maybe it has just become a routine for him, and he would be shocked if you actually gave him a discount.
