I have been informed that she is in fact, unbeatable. what's that you say? un-BEAT-able! she survive, dammit! it's empirical! un-BEAT-able! she survive, dammit! doreen's headstrong as hell

I would sing its praises to the high heavens, but I'll instead try and pull back a bit and just say that yes, it's good- but part of that is due to innate comparison to the not nearly so good story of the game itself, the length of its story and pacing of its storytelling, and having a lot of excellent character moments and dealing with how the DC Universe could have gotten to the point it's gotten to from a familiar setting. It's not always great- there's a rough patch when the writers change- but even after that, it's not bad, I'd say. Just not AS good.

Random question: I had a buddy of mine send me a flash drive of digital comics and half of them are in the cbz format. I can't load them onto my Kindle properly. They end up getting converted into black and white. Are there any programs that I can purchase for the Fire that won't do that? I already have Comicat and that doesn't help.

Guy Goodbody posted:Is the Injustice comic any good? It's like the Fast and Furious of comics in that it's a lot of fun and sometimes really crazy and good in its own special way but it's not like a classic run or something you're missing out on if you don't read it.

I gotta be honest, "fun" and "good in it's own special way" should be enough to recommend a comic imo A comic that's good in the normal way doesn't sound very interesting. Plus I just read Saga volume 7, so "fun" sounds good to me right about now

Don't go in thinking it's the Bendis Daredevil run or Simonson's Thor or some other seminal run of comics. It's just a wacky alternate universe tale that's way more fun than a dumb game tie-in should be. I mean one would probably think a story about Superman going bad and basically becoming a ruthless dictator could be a really grim book but it's so utterly ridiculous at most points that it only occasionally makes you remember "Oh yeah this reality would be horrific wouldn't it?"

If nothing else, you could rename to .zip and extract the pages as images. .cbr is also just a renamed .rar, if you ever see that.

Also, Ground Zero is a huge improvement on the game's storyline by essentially rewriting it into Incorruptible Starring Harley Quinn. I still say that the scene in Year Two where she tells Black Canary about her hidden daughter is the best Harley Quinn comic book moment ever written.

Out of all the Rebirth stuff for DC to get a loving Eisner nom for, Batgirl and Deathstroke? Really? Hope King wins for the Batman story and Vision though.

It is honestly a fun series about a horrible person that doesn't pretend that Slade is anything but a lovely person. I don't know if it's worthy of an Eisner nomination, but it's definitely one of the better Rebirth titles they could have picked. I do think that Superman and Detective Comics are unambiguously better though.

It was revealed on this very forums that Max Landis spent an notable amount of time at Morrisoncon trying to get his date's attention by repeating "hey whore" at increasing volumes. It's not that Max Landis killed anyone, it's that he's eternally jockeying to be his dad's number one mistake and it's real stiff competition.

Just learned that the comic book store I went to after the one near the university campus that I went to is being forced out by luxury condos. Thankfully, they've only moved and not closed, and the space they're getting is bigger, I just hope that it can survive the move; it was in a really high-traffic area

I saw Max Landis at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I like other stuff Max Landis has written but to me he'll always be the guy who wrote the fanfic where the Shocker explodes Bullseye's testicles.
