Superman VS Terminator is the most insane of all those crossovers. Sadly since DH no longer has those rights they couldn't reprint it in the new Dark Horse Superman book.

Was that the one where Superman goes to the future and meets Future Steel?

If memory serves, yes. It was right at the height of post Return of Superman fever so you had Steel, Superboy, Supergirl, the MCU. Pretty much every major Superman character had a 1 panel appearance in issue 1.

WildCATS/Aliens is at least historically noteworthy, as it's where Warren Ellis killed off all the Stormwatch characters he didn't like so he could reboot the book as The Authority.

Kind of funny how DC was shortsighted enough to not secure the reprint rights for that issue.

DC as gently caress.

You'd think that a book that set the stage for the Authority would be important to them right? There was an edition of that final Stormwatch trade that had it reprinted, available for one printing of the book but oddly they didn't bother for the two volume HCs they released a few years ago.

So it looks like Mike Deodato has gotten so incredibly lazy that he may have traced 9-11 wreckage for this week's Invincible Iron Man #12.

Yes. Do you not understand the question?

Rhyno claims Deodato traced it and linked the artwork. I looked on google to find the image he traced and couldn't find it. You said it looks familiar. I am asking you to share the image he traced.

I said "may have" but it's pretty clear that he used the WTC wreckage as his source.

He traced it at a clearly different angle. Got it.

There are literally 100,000+ images of ground zero on Google. I'm not going to dig through every one to find the exact image but most everyone who has looked at it can see where he sourced his background from. And this is a guy who is known for tracing so I don't know why you're being such a dense dipshit about this.

I was thinking today I would like to make a new Batman thread. I notice other threads get derailed a lot talking about Batman and considering how much time I spend on a daily basis thinking about Batman I kinda thought it would be fun to do like a nice effortpost OP. Would that be cool with everyone here? Nobody really uses the Batman thread even though it feels like we're always talking about Batman.

The worst part about the later Arkham games (besides Jason Todd) is that the post-game fuckin' around the city is highly unsatisfying. At the end of Origins, it's a total shitshow with snipers on every roof and OH WELL guess Gotham's gonna have a crappy morning, but not your problem, I guess!, and Knight's Gotham City is just as empty as D_T's balls after reading a Red Hood comic.

Well, my house got robbed last night. Got taken for $400, and my roommate and his girlfriend were held at gunpoint while I was out late at the bar. Might be out of the comic game for a bit while I recoup my losses. The guys at the shop might hook me up for my birthday next week, but it's the last thing I'm worried about right now. Thanks for letting me vent.

So let me tell you, if you have the chance to attend a WizardWorld convention you should absolutely pass it the gently caress up.

What a poo poo show. This was more like a giant flea market than a comic-con.

Awesome-Con here is great. You can go in the dealer room if you're really bored, but there's panels and stuff all day each day on a variety of comics. I went all three days of the show and spent maybe 6 total hours in the dealer room and a good portion of that was waiting in line for BIll Nye to sign my book after his podcast recording.

They're holding one in my town Halloween weekend but my interactions with their marketing team have already colored my opinion.

Deadpool cosplayers are usually pretty bad. We did a Black Widow photoshoot for Black Widow Day last year, and it was all sorts of wonderful. It was organized by myself and a couple actual (not internet) models.

Let the freaks and geeks have their fun. They're a colorful distraction from the faded super hero shirts stretched over guts full of bad eating habits, and a sedimentary life style.

Did you guys have a ton of people in poorly assembled costumes show up on FCBD and then not leave?

No, they just passed through mostly. I was in my Batman costume, we had a Thor and Miles Morales that were friends of ours hang out for a bit, and the Detroit Ghostbusters were out front for most of the day. They even brought the Ghostbusters arcade game I hadn't played in 25 years.

We don't get a lot of weirdies at our store. Just the usual pervs, and people who think they're nineties books are worth anything.

I am super jealous. We had some young teens who hung around for hours and kept trying to step behind the free tables and act like they worked there. My boss finally had enough and kicked them out after hour 5 of loitering.

Oh my god a local library in my city did one of these, I didn't even know it happened until I saw it on the news that night. Judging by the report all they had was some artists I've never ever heard of and some of the saddest Batmen I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever felt a stronger sense of second-hand embarrassment.

Our local library wanted to do FCBD two years ago so they worked out a deal with us to get books. Then half the poo poo they ordered ended up not being all ages appropriate despite my warnings so they left us holding our dick on 1000 books. So this year they asked to do it again and we were like "sure but here's a written contract." Then then don't contact us until 4 days before and ask where their books are and we're like "where's the order you were supposed to place?" So then one of the employees reaches out to diamond to bitch about us not following through with our deal and wow did our rep get pissed off at us for a while.

I really hope they call about it this next year so I can slam the receiver down as hard as possible.

Because the net gain isn't worth the investment usually.
