Obviously, we have to say Happy New Year! Yes, postin’ pals, March means the vernal equinox, which means the joyous celebration of Nowruz throughout Iran and Central Asia! Let’s arrange our own spread of haft-seen by chatting about these seven S’s!

In the dying embers of the old thread, I want to remind the world of the glory that is Leap Day since February ain't over yet for like 6 hours. Have there been any comic stories that revolved around Leap day? Any evil horror who comes to Earth every four years? Basically an evil Leap Day Williams.

Leap Day is Superman's birthday, and he's not going to take any of that poo poo interrupting his birthday.

Okay so it's some illegal immigrant in underwear's birthday or something, but did anything actually important ever happen on a leap day in comics?

I read through all of Copperhead Vol 1 Sunday. This whole "reading my huge-rear end backlog" thing would help me get more on top of my funnybook reading but so far it has just lead to me blitzing through an entire volume the last Sunday of each month. I'll pick a few books and ask which to read some time in the next couple days. Copperhead I really liked for reasons I can't really put my finger on. Westerns in space isn't exactly a novel premise, but eh, art was pretty, writing works, and I'm a sucker for sci fi stuff . Unrelated: I'm moving in a month and I am not looking forward to moving my comic collection. I don't even care that much about their condition or anything like that (the most valuable book I own is an X-Statix omnibus for $40) but I don't really have any plans for moving them other than "toss every book I have into a small suitcase" which I'm fairly sure is going to end up with a book or two getting torn up in the car ride over to the new place .

I know it's for little kids and I really shouldn't complain but DC Super Hero Girls is dogshit. The only personality between any of them is Harley being Pinkie Pie with a New Jersey accent, single other character is a generic girlie girl Bratz doll. Speaking of Harley I rescind what I said in the Marvel chat about her old costume. I like it in some depictions a lot better than others, I'm not sure why but I just mainly hate it in the Bruce Timm's style.

Squizzle posted:DrProsek Be honest here, is this a truly random pick, or do you have issues of Blackwulf you're trying to unload? Because if so, joke's on you, I found it somewhere online ... and now I can read Blackwulf yay Speaking of random picks, my random choices for DrProsek's 2016 Backlog Reading for March: DC: Supergirl vol 1 by Michael Green Marvel: Alpha Flight vol 1 by Greg Pak Non-Big 2: Invisible Republic vol 1 by Gabriel Hardman Nuclear Option: Burn all 3 books, start again. (For anyone wondering what this is, I bought a bunch of TPBs in 2015 that I never got around to so for 2016 I'm trying to get through at least 1 a month. These three are three random unread TPBs in my collection. If nobody cares I'll just roll a dice ) burnishedfume fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Mar 2, 2016 |

Squizzle posted:[*]Souls! On the Eastern liturgical calendar, the fifth of the month is one of 2016’s Soul Saturdays. What better way to honor this solemn event than by discussing the Queen of Soul herself? PYF idea for a comic based on Aretha Franklin’s life or music. I was going to say that 'souls' should mean this is the month we all pay tribute to Magik, but Aretha Franklin is also very good. Get Bill Sienkiewicz to illustrate a comic about Aretha. Boom.

bobkatt013 posted:Whats wrong with Timm's style? I don't have a problem with Timm's style in general at all(although it does look really bad when translated to action figures and the like), just Harley Quinn specifically. I can't put my finger on why her classic outfit looks so much better by other artists. Maybe something about the eyes/face.

Whenever WickedHate says something you can usually assume the opposite is true. Bruce Timm rules. He worked on He-Man AND Batman: The Animated Series.

I watched that Juctice League Gods and Monsters movie. It was alright. Stuff like people getting smooshed and Superman saying "orgasm" didn't seem necessary tho. Like they only did that stuff cause they weren't on TV anymore and nobody could say no. Also, lol at the big threat being Dr. Magnus doing the Human Instrumentality Project.

X-O posted:I love Invisible Republic. It's a good read. Endless Mike posted:Invisible Republic because I've never heard of it. Invisible Republic it is . I meant to add this to my pulllist but forgot until it was already like 5 issues in. All I remember about it is it's about a journalist writing a piece on Space Hitler 30XX which had me sold enough to buy the TPB (also I was looking for something on Amazon to fill a ~$10 gap before I got free shipping). I was considering making a Backlog reading thread but never really bothered to check if there was any interest in it. If other people are trying to burn through their backlogs, I could start a thread about it so the chat thread doesn't get weighed down by it.
