I may have pre-ordered those new Appleseed hardbacks

I’m looking at them. I’m unsure if Appleseed stands up like it did when I was 15. I need to go see if its a new translation.
The third volume a pile of stuff I don’t I have read – looks interesting.

I loved Widows Bay, but I have no idea what happened in the historic episode. The episode was so dark on my TV it was basically a radio play of screaming. The rest has been top notch though.

Now I need to fill the gap before I switch to paramount for Strange New Worlds.

Love it, absolutely!
And not complaining.

With the tight nature of some of those single pages, this is very much deserving of a massive oversized edition.
I would pre-order two copies day one.
Boom! Comic Porn…

Just saying. I should be happy with this, as today is better than yesterday.
Who knows what it took to make this happen.

There are oversized hardcovers of Dork and Milk and Cheese sitting on my shelves. they are Ace.

Apparently Powers (Bendis/Oeming) is in development by Netflix as a cartoon, in partnership with Dark Horse Entertainment.

(I also recently found out that the end of Powers season 2 had a post credit scene that I completely missed. My partner is still cross about the ending and I really want to find it.)

Just got the new Worldtr33 volume and am looking forward to diving into it.

I also am getting myself a kindle color thingie for Christmas, as I am transitioning more towards digital. And I am sorry, local comic store, I will still try and buy stuff from you regularly, but I just can’t be bothered with having stuff physically around anymore.

I’m a digital on Ipad + hardback for the greats buyer these days.

It would be interesting to compare the experience, and to see if the kindle coloursoft will show CBR/Zs

I’ve quelled my grumpyness about the ending of the x-men Krakoa era and decided to pick up the X-Men By Al Ewing and X-Men by Gerry Duggan Omniboos.

I have the 2 Marauders hardbacks, and the Hickman collections. I then need to work out what other collections are worth it.

I assume there will be a Gillen omniboo, and I’ll need to grab Fall of The House of X/Rise of The Powers of X Omnibus

and maybe i can ignore the worst bits :)

If I committed my design to need a three year budget, and only had a 2 year budget, yeah my systems would end up looking like the end of season 2. On time, on budget, but fuck me, massive rescoping, hacked to pieces to make work. No one is happy. No one wants to see it again.
(I’m probably also fired)

I own the parts I want in hardback. I might buy it in digital to throw a few dimes in the jar though.

I really want Pirate Corp$ / Hectic Planet collected, but I’m guessing it likely doesn’t stand up.

I decided to re-watch Kinda and, well, wow, I was surprised at how well paced it was, compared to how I remember the old serials. I thought I was watching the 2nd episode first for a minute. No tardis scenes – jumped right in there, tidy like.

Lets see how it goes

Is ‘The Second Doctor: Beyond War Games’ based on the idea of series 6b – or is it a different take?

He has said he is aiming at a younger audience, and its hitting its marks there.
Maybe that’s it. We are not his target. His target likes shooting at bone dinosaurs from a rotating tower block and the doctor flying under tower bridge on a stolen witch’s broomstick.

The twist with Poppy worked for me, as the entire thing is that the kid isn’t created by the wish. The wish warped view and perception of her, even after it faded.

I like the idea, but where’s the evidence that she existed before wish world? The TARDIS energies rewrote all the “get me home” lines, once she existed, no?
