lol same here on RTW... thats why i mentioned it. she some cute-ish emo lookin 30 yr old broad with all kindsa tatts that always try conversatin with folk in my shop. she not bad but the fact that she reads comics makes her hott enough. she buys them ones and this other book... Emily i think it's called or something. kinda gay.
i been attracted to the batgirl covers but i've heard the story is predictable. maybe i'll get my "Bobby on" and digi-read 'em.
-
^^^same deal here, girl was probably mid 20s, redhead, glasses, emo-nerd-ish, and all she was buying was the wonderland stuff and fables...which i do read so we conversed about that...the t&a cheesecake covers turn me off though lol...dude if you're single, you should try to pick her up. Anyone who is actually social in the comic shop is a cool human being in my book lol Where I go, alot of the dudes look like sociopaths and barely talk, if they do they just mutter...or they are loudmouth douchebags wearing indigo lantern shirts lol
anyway, girls who read comics are hot lol... i got my ex into the usual stuff that girls will give a shot...sandman, fables, ex machina, y the last man, some x-men stuff...though I always got the sense she was just humoring me lol
i read batgirl #2 at the shop when it came out...basically, spoiler from the robin series is the new batgirl and barbara gordon is helping her out, there was some shit about weaponized drugs at a college campus or something, scarecrow probably...it didn't grab me, but i was stoned and kind of read through it quickly. It's just standard modern superhero fare, nothing special, not good enough to buy imo.
how wack does that 'Haunt' book look? Come on, mcfarlane, try a different character design for once lol
-
yeah the covers for RTW seemed aight till i noticed their whole catalog was using that "sex sells" formula (i.e. jack and the bean stalk or 3 blind mice with a sexy-bitches twist) she's a cool cool cat, more so than the dudes in the store.
i don't know why comic shop geeks all follow the same stereotype with the unhygenic, livin in they moms basement style or loud annoying kids that think they on the cool tip cause they "know" the dude that run the shop... and by KNOW i mean hang out by the register and bug him.
i always thought about hollerin at her but her area-of-expertise is VGs. im not too much into games and she always got some conversation goin on in the VG aisle.
thats pretty hott too now that i think about it.
for BG, i sAW spoiler from a mile away. barbra coulda stayed on with nightwing... woulda made some sense but i guess they wanted a whole new look.
yeah i thought the same for Haunt. McFarlane is pretty 1 dimensional but great at what he does... he reminds me of Turner in that right.
i see no diversity in the aspen universe but bought soulfire off the strength of the art alone, i'd do the same with spawn but it's tracks never seem to lead anywhere too interesting so idk when i'd stop buying if i started.
-
i never bought any of the aspen stuff for the same reason i didn't buy the wonderland stuff...but women like the sexualized stuff as much as dudes, or moreso it seems in terms of comics...i like sexy girls too but these are comic characters lol...most of the people at the shop i go to conform to that stereotype...there's one guy who puts the new books on the shelves and shit, he doesn't even work there, he's just a highly considerate customer lol and he just mutters, hunched over middle aged guy lol
i know jack shit about videogames too, i will play them at a friend's house but don't really care about them at all
i just came back from the shop and forgot to get astonishing x-men and doctor voodoo and bought sweet tooth #1 (vertigo book) because it was a dollar and it's terrible lol
strange tales #2, house of mystery, luke cage noir, planetary, batman and robin, and zodiac look good but i haven't read them yet
-
wow, lmao..i heard Sweet Tooth was great...interesting.
-
well the story seems familiar just with new set dressing and i loathe the artwork...but it was only a dollar lol...hopefully i, zombie #1 is a dollar as well.
-
ya im waiting for that i, zombie...and im getting haunt, but it was mostly because i was excited about the pencils...i saw a preview and it was meh...but ill get it anyway.
-
fuck fuck motherfucking cocksucking fuckers...Strange Tales and X-Babies was sold out...i grabbed Astonishing, ans was like, nah lemme atleast trade it for cable...and that shit was sold out..then as i left i realized i shoulda taken voodoo...smh.
-
my store didn't have x-babies at all smh
how was astonishing?
-
it was ok. simply ok. BnR was good (of course) andi havent read ASM or Haunt yet...currently reading Deadpool
-
lmao...deadpool is so stupid.
-
^^^in a good way?
black panther sucks, it's so boring and inconsequential; i finally dropped it today, i've forgotten to for like 4 months lol
strange tales #2 was as good or better than the first issue...this should be an ongoing series, and just broaden the creators to encompass...anyone really, telling out of continuity short stories...i just wish they weren't all humorous.
-
damn i need strange tales...and ya i enjoyed Deadpool.
-
