ALL I WANT TO DO, IS SEE YOU TURN INTO, A GIANT WOMAN! Man, I love KSBD, and the Alicio n' Chains design is amazing. Lobok posted:Started reading K6BD for the first time this week after having it saved in my bookmarks for years. Pretty cool so far but still waiting to get to the real combat. It's funny reading through the comments on each post and seeing a guy from Image even very early on offering to publish. The kickoff for the major violence is near the end at Hell 71, IIRC.

Monster #8. Back in the first chapter, the Commander was introduced alongside her tiger bff.  And I was like, awesome, I can dig it. But is the tiger an emotional support animal, or a mere signpost of how badass she is?   No, it turns out the tiger exists to absorb recoil for her anti-Kaiju rifle.

So yes, it is literally a support animal  e: it makes such a good visual joke I bet the author planned it exactly that way Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Is this exclusively Arthurian in inspiration because if you tell me they work some Ulster Cycle in there then I'm all loving in.

It might help to note that the above is called 'Kaiju Number 8' to make it easier to search for and so you do not, as I did, spend a while being very confused at the turn Naoki Urasawa's taut psychological thriller takes.

Kaiju No. 8 is a fun but typical manga about a dude who can become a monster to fight other monsters

So I decided to get into Once and Future anyway and while I didn't get my Cuchulain fix, this is still a really fun mythology romp with some great art.darthbob88 posted:It isn't exclusively Arthurian, but I didn't recognize the Ulster Cycle. At one point, our hero gets hit with Beowulf's story, but that's about it. On this note, I really appreciated the following cameo in this particular story arc (very minor spoilers)

Malachite_Dragon posted:It is good (to me) but the pacing is also... kind of rough, so be prepared for that. I had heard enough good things to be intrigued, but if they're hitting the manga pacing problem that early it's not a good sign. Mulva posted:I mean anything that gets people to read Monster is a net good to humanity. Even the television show is excellent. Get Monster in any form because it's excellent. It's kind of weird that a Japan book dives so deeply in German re-unification, though.

Random Stranger posted:I had heard enough good things to be intrigued, but if they're hitting the manga pacing problem that early it's not a good sign. The pacing isn’t bad in a way that shows the manga is in trouble, it just takes 16 pages to tell what it could in 12 Manga has a great deal of breadth which means you can find works that go real hard into weird niche subjects. It rules, even if you have to wade through one million isekais to get there

I'm sure Bobby couldn't actually drain all the heat from the universe. Human Torch would just keep warming it up again.
