we don't get many "read in store" people. a few kids, and some grown men with "problems" that we let slide. we let people sift through issues and some long time regulars just go ahead and read obscure stuff they're not sure of.

our manager put up a big sign of batman saying THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY but it didn't change much

As long as it can turn on and run for about a minute they will

my xbox overheated after 10 minutes of play but all they did was plug it in and check for like 30 seconds then turn it off

sweet deal

--
~Zen

I seriously didn't have anything to do with the placement

I put in the seeds and it put them down where they're supposed to go from weakest to strongest

there's also dick/damian in round 3

I wouldn't have made these choices! it's all a computer that doesn't read comics

or CJayC wanting an SFF tournament again

Now that it's over, I made a bracket based on the top 50 Marvel/DC characters:

http://challonge.com/csbg

it's seeded according to their placement on the list

I dunno if I should actually run the contest though, just wanted to see how it'd look. 100 entrants makes a weeeeird bracket

you can make predictions if you want. I allowed 5 so you can make favorites brackets and "who would win in a fight" brackets for your own enjoyment if you're bored

I voted Spider-Man to counter Batman

he is not faring well

probably because it only took a year for activision to star milking a semi-successful game

--
~Zen

it's Capcom trying to make some $$$

WHICH THEY WILL

I LOVE FRANK WEST I WOULD TOTALLY REBUY DEAD RISING 2 FOR HIM

--
~Zen

Asked Bacon if he was going to do a Dojo update thing for this contest, he said maybe if things go smoothly

then he hit me with a smiley face

I heard about the Kindle Fire, but I didn't know DC was on board with it

also I heard the original kindle is now only $79, gotta see if it's possible to put comics on that

--
~Zen

yeah, I thought it was at first, but it was on Marvel's official Facebook

ruffalo is looking more and more like tommy wiseau every time I see it

--
~Zen

lol mark ruffalo looks awful

*vague avengers spoilers*

it's like the most generic "osborn escapes" thing ever

turns out some guards were on his side and help him out

he also throws jessica jones at somebody, I forget who. then he literally just runs off and escapes.

there's also a bit at the beginning about HOW STINKY IS LUKE CAGE'S BABY

SHE'S STINKIER THAN ______

NO, SHE'S STINKIER THAN A ________

insert laugh track here

also more of spider-man going EYYYY VICTORIA HAND YOU WORKED FOR NORMAN OSBORN I DON'T TRUST YOU *point point point*

I'm assuming that was good, then!

Is it a 3rd graphic novel, or has there just been a huge delay between issues?

huuuuge delay between issues

not as big was ult hulk vs wolverine but big enough that we pulled it from our shelf

~Zen

*general Avengers 16.1 spoilers*

Norman Osborn has to be transferred to some place for a trial, and the New Avengers have to do it because "all they do is sit around and eat."

So they agree to do it but mess up and Osborn gets set free and is greeted by an army of thousands upon thousands of followers.

!!

WOW I thought it was lost forever

this is very good news

...if I could remember what happened in the first two

--
~Zen

I just don't think it worked

I couldn't stop staring at his Spider-Man

couldn't stop staring

couldn't stop

--
~Zen

didn't like the colors

it was weird

I have a neal adams poster in my room

there was something wrong with the colors, though

it made it looks like the art was melting

I can't really describe it

--
~Zen

New Avengers 16.1 was slightly better than the average Avengers book, but the art was meh and it was so goddamn predictable it was unreal

--
~Zen

wait why is she running a nerd site and buying kenneth rocafort prints

she looks like this:



the world got flipped turned upside down

--
~Zen

I referred her to the store owner

HE BETTER BUY IT

cuz then imma use all my store credit and employee discount power for it

--
~Zen

Hey Um... Zapp Comics (I looked up and down on your page for a name... makes it hard to connect :P) ANYWAYs... I have some original art of Kenneth Rocafort and Gerardo “Gordo” Sandoval that I original purchased for an online store that I am no longer investing in. I can deep discount them if you buy the bulk just to get them outta my studio. If we work out a good enough deal, I will even promote your store for a while to my cool peeps that I know. Interested?

OH SNAP ORIGINAL KENNETH ROCAFORT ART?!?!

HIT ME UP

cuz I'm sure Superman couldn't do that, thanks Luke

~Zen

OMG IT'S LIKE CAPTAIN PLANET BUT WITH RAINBOWS

--
~Zen

God, Ultimate Comics The Ultimates continues to be boring crap

I couldn't even get through three pages without wanting to stab myself

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man was good though. Really digging the art. Bendis somehow does such a better job writing Ult Spider-Man than anything else

Anyone read that Brilliant thing? Is it good?

--
~Zen

Superman had me really bored for the first half

it picked up after a while

I hope the next issue is more like the second half than the first

--
~Zen

cool, I'm gonna have to pick one up... eventually.


I'm assuming that in ten years or so comics will be completely digital alongside the physical release... and I'm OK with that

--
~Zen

oh I heard about that going for cheap. that's cool.

you use your tablet for comics? how does it look? you ever go "damn, I miss physical comics" or whatever, or is there no difference

--
~Zen

what kind of tablet is it?

thinking about investing in one for comic reading

assuming you can even put cbr files on there

--
~Zen

So if you could only buy five reboot books for the rest of forever, which would you pick?

I'd probably go with:

-Aquaman
-Red Hood
-Action Comics
-Batman
-Animal Man

maybe I'd swap out Animal Man for DC presents, because it'd just be nice to have variety in there so I don't go crazy

--
~Zen

lol there was a typo in Avengers Academy

"qiucksilver"

--
~Zen

teen titans 4/5

art was on and off good

--
~Zen

Reading Kick-Ass 2 now

this book is disgusting

*spoilers*

Red Mist just walked into a neighborhood and killed four kids for no reason, then raped that girl katie

people are upset about Red Hood?

THIS is the f***ing garbage of the comic book world

this should NEVER see film

--
~Zen

AQUAMAN 6/5 SOOOOO GOOD

--
~Zen

read Superman

3.5/5,

-1.5 for the entire opening I didn't care about and way too many caption things telling me what Superman is thinking. A few is good, but I felt like it was overdone.

good ending, will be getting issue #2

New Guardians also gets a 3.5/5 just because NOTHING HAPPENED

but I really want to read the next one

stop teasing me DC

--
~Zen

that headmaster wolverine thing is great

post more comic news so I can flood my paaaage

--
~Zen

alright... that makes no sense. did you tell DC to suck Marvel's balls or something?

--
~Zen

wow I took the whole thing

From: saveus_Maria | #365
what does it mean if I wasted my time taking that entire survey and then at the end it told me I 'unfortunately' 'do not qualify for this survey'
