"I have also been a Black Label completist. So I will have to check out Soul Plumber (which I had completely missed) despite your review. Wish me luck!"

"Thanks for the info. I was ready to buy the Kindle version, but there isn't one! I can't see paying cover price or greater plus shipping, so I guess I'll just hold off for now. Maybe I can pick up a copy at HeroesCon in June."

"I always thought this series was more interesting in concept than execution. But I thought I had read all of it! Can you tell me anything more about that finale Image comic?

"I can't say that I disagree (although I will be interested to hear what your wife thinks). My book club is going to do a "choose your own adventure" graphic novel month in July. I expect to be asked for recommendations, and I'm leaning towards a…"

"I've finally read this. (I'm perrywhite1 on the WordPerfect site.)
I love Brubaker & Phillips, but they can launch a dud now and then. Pulp, for example, felt like a shaggy dog story to me -- a whole graphic novel taking me to a punchline that was…"

Once Upon a Time at the End of the World Book Two – The Rise and Fall of Golgonooza. Jason Aaron and the art teams hit it out of the park again. The last panel says "Concluded in Book Three." It will be interesting to see how…

"It is only going to be 80% here, but it is clear (a few days back clouds were predicted). I still have eclipse glasses, so we plan to watch."

"Sounds interesting! Looks like I only have Vol. 1 in my Humble Bundle library (must have been part of a different bundle), but I'll have to check it out."

"I don't think anyone has mentioned his Human Target maxiseries. I enjoyed it, and someone more invested in the DC Universe would probably like it even more."

""Tales of the Crimson Corsair" was collected with Ozymandius in the final Deluxe Edition collection. I enjoyed the dark pirate atmosphere, but the writing was so florid and overwrought that I tired of it maybe a quarter of the way in and skimmed to…"

"I like Tom King's stuff, and was unaware this series even existed! Since I enjoyed Before Watchmen I will be getting to this next. I think I will pass on Doomsday Clock: too much DC Universe for me, however interesting integrating the Watchmen…"

"At first, the wordy writing bothered me. But then I realized the arrogance Ozymandias constantly displays: he really does believe he is the smartest man in the world, so it isn't surprising that he enjoys the sound of his own voice. It turns out…"

Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Jeff of Earth-J's discussion Watchmen (Before & After)
"I think I enjoyed this minseries more than you did, probably mainly because I am fond of Risso's art (from 100 Bullets). Veight is truly villainous in the way he treats Moloch, who comes across as more hapless than evil, despite all of his prior…"
