It happens. UPS sucks at their job this time of year. We're missing 3 boxes of non comic stuff so far this week.

It's mostly Marvel stuff that was missing, and Black Monday Murders and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. At least they'll have it for me next week.

There's no real method to the box packing so it might have been a problem at the warehouse.

I already own one. I get a discount at the shop that makes it a lot cheaper to buy physical comics.

When you're lost out there and you're all alone, a light is waiting to carry you home
When I was about 6, my brother and I were horsing around in the backyard and I cracked my head open. I got stitches and had to stay in the hospital overnight, and my mom brought me my first comic books for being a brave guy. They were a Gladstone Mickey & Donald and an ALF.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
A great deal of the world is lovely and horrible but this forum is not, and I'm thankful for all of you. Cheers.

I'm back and I feel a lot better! I was this close to leaving SA forever but I realized my black mood would pass so I announced a break instead and my mind is clear and all that hippie poo poo.

Anyway, over Thanksgiving a relative offered to take me to see Rogue One with them and their brother for their birthday. I didn't have much interest in the movie before but it's on someone else's dime and the theater experience alone is worth the time.

Does BSS do any sort of year-end reflection of the year's comics, like user awards or anything? This is the first year I've really followed new comics closely, so I'm a bit interested in knowing how good/bad this year was in comparison, though I'm making a guess that reception is mostly pretty positive.

We generally gather and make an effigy of the current mod using the worst comics of the year as stuffing. We then burn the effigy and dance naked in the moonlight.

Essentially the Sheep Game works like this: I post a list of questions/categories (things like Best Artist, Best Writer, Best Comic, whatever), and everyone responds to it with who they think the forum as a group thinks is the response. You are then scored based on the number of people with that answer. So, if 20 people respond to best artist with Jack Kirby, they all get 20 points. If only one really broken person responds with Greg Land, he gets one point.

Is Inkslinger still around? He helped with DC Universe: Adventures, and I'd love to play it someday. The books are a really good encapsulation of the pre Flashpoint DCU.

I get the feeling the MCU focus is nonsense, because it sounds like the same bullshit peoole say about Marvel trying to kill the X-Men comics because of movie licences despite an upcoming relaunch of 7 X-Men related comics and a ba-jillion Deadpool comics

Pretty much. I've gotten some good games out of it. The rules can't handle every situation you throw at them, and combat can drag on a bit, but it works out okay if you just shrug your shoulders and roll with it. So basically perfect for superheroics.
