I actually think you'll find the month is called Jeb!uary.

redbackground posted:One of my uh, "favorites" is the last issue of Ravage 2099 (#33). For most of the series, Ravage has been cultivating this island of freaks and weirdo characters out in the ocean as their refuge away from the rest of society and has also been fighting this archnemesis whose name I can't remember. The last issue consists of (President) Doom 2099 swooping in, killing off the arch in like no time flat with no effort, pouring liquid adamantium all over the island and its inhabitants (including Ravage) and chucking the whole drat thing into space because gently caress 'em, the end. It's doubly weird because in the "World of Doom" special they put out, the writer talks about Ravage ending (this came out before Ravage 33) and says the ending will be Doom opening a portal to the "Land of Beasts" that Ravage had been searching for and lets the mutants go there unscathed. Sometime between the publication of that special and #33, someone must have reasoned "Who gives a gently caress, it's Ravage. Have Doom destroy him." Such a weird book, Ravage changed its premise almost every 10 issues in a desperate attempt to find something that worked. He went from Future Lobo to Future Wolverine to Future Hulk

I was probated as part of the charity drive thing, which was nice, because I was actually really considering taking a break from posting anyway.Lurdiak posted:Sigh... a relative I trusted with storing tons of my comics threw/gave them all out because they were "taking up too much room". My grandmother threw out all my dad's comics one day when he was a kid without even telling him about it. He used them to teach himself to read.

This is kind of interesting, this guy wrote a blog post about why he quit working at an LCS and why he's glad he did. I figured it would be a bunch of stories about your stereotypical MRA casual-hating neckbeards but it was speculators that drove him out. I thought the comic book speculation market was completely dead, I didn't realize people were still trying to fund their retirement through foil covers.

What do you think variant covers are? They may be nicer to look at in most cases, but it's the same thing.

That's pretty much everyone who wears a Punisher shirt/hat in public. I remember some people being really mad that actually acting like the Punisher and horribly murdering people after getting the info you need from them in the PS2 game would cost you points and be portrayed as the wrong thing to do, but I thought it was kinda brilliant. You shouldn't want to be Frank. Yvonmukluk posted:Did they not even bother to give you an opportunity to do anything about it? Christ, what an rear end in a top hat.

 I like these comics a lot, but I don't ever want to be Frank Castle, nor would I ever want to hang out with folks who like him in that way. The book should make you uncomfortable. That means you're still human.

I like the comics a lot, I don't like the use of racial slurs or rape threats; I think that is exploitative use of hate speech to enhance the badguyosity of a villain (cheap and easy too). I thought I knew what I was getting into but the "sand-n****r" and "raghead" stuff really bothered me.
