I can see it. Flavor probably has at least a minor connection to role. There was no reason to post in character or flavor claim, other than it being funny.

Hey, can we talk about good comics while we're not playing mafia? Saga continues to be really drat good. I've had a few friends accuse it of perpetual deus ex resolutions, but they're dumb. I guess the worst criticism you could level at it is that the storytelling isn't as good as the worldbuilding and that there could be more Robot Sex, I guess.

I like Sex Criminals.

Ah yeah, Matt Fraction is a good writer that people should like. I'm wondering how much story there is to actually explore there but I guess I don't care so long as it continues being funny.

What a coincidence. I just read through the fourth volume of Saga yesterday. I feel like if I was really keeping up with the series I'd be bothered by pacing, mainly because the plot seems to meander around a lot. Reading it in trades is fine, although I always feel like I'm just missing something. Like there's some missing element that is keeping me from going head over heels insane enjoying it. Prince Robot IV continues to be the best, although I know there is not a good ending in store for him.

I've only read the first volume of Sex Criminals. I liked it, but I'm just going to wait until a lot is out and binge. Right now I'm hooked on Southern Bastards and it's killing me that it takes so long for the issues to come out.

Well, that's sorta BKV. He always gets there in the end though!

Uhhhh Copra exists.

Hell loving yeah it does.

I dunno if this game will be harder to read with taste on ignore but i guess we'll find out!

That's true. I read Y the Last Man in trades and same for Ex Machina so I think his stuff just gets better as a completed project. Mainly because you don't have to wait forever to get to where he ends up going.


:whatup: Copra possibly has some of the best use of colors and panels. It's just an all around great comic.

Even though it's just Suicide Squad But Better, or maybe explicitly because of that, I am so glad I read Copra. I was thinking about trying to turn it into a Mafia game, but how could you convey spirit of Copra? There should be a word for its unique brand of gritty surrealism.

Eh, I dunno. I thought it was a bold decision to completely reboot the Nightcrawler character, but I was hoping that Jake Gyllenhaal would at least discover his mutant abilities in the tag instead of that weird news channel subplot taking up the entire movie.

Glockenapfel's lurker callouts are scummy. We had a weekend start yo. It's a good way to look like you're contributing without actually doing anything.

Rurea used that one emoticon so he's scum. I'd prefer a more interesting dunk but I'm preoccupied writing my own game.
