"Fury of Firestorm #15-19 - Pretty standard superhero fare of its time. It was good, not great. Two things though. First, in one issue they announce a new artistic team. 2 issues later they are listed on the cover credits. Inside we actually get Gene…"
"I just finished Star Wars: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn. This is a Star Wars heist novel. Han is the leader, but he knows this is way beyond his are expertise, so he assembles a team to help him, including Lando Calrissian. Han and team are hired to…"
"I actually read about a month's worth of comics but:
Habibi - I finally finished slogging through this monstrosity. It took me a month and half to get through this nearly 700 page book. Two thing struck me as I was reading this: 1. This came out in…"
"This morning I watched Card Counter. Oscar Isaac is an ex-con, William Tell, who travels from town to town and casino to casino, where he wins, but not big enough to ever get him noticed. He meets a young man, Cirk Baufort, who knows about his…"
"Oh man, I am a full month behind. I just read the first issue this morning.
On a side note, I have a friend looking to get back into comics, and I recommended the new EC line to him."
"Or just the INFORMATION, so you can go to your LCS with a list?
That one. I'm concerned about missing something I want simply because I don't know that it's available. Sure, my LCS might order something I'm not aware of and I could buy it off the…"
"So, to review, is it the ability to ORDER that is your concern, Jeff? Or just the INFORMATION, so you can go to your LCS with a list? I guess that makes me ask, who do you order from, or how do you order, from publishers not on the current Diamond…"
"I'm slightly surprised that some sort of alternate catalog hasn't quite arisen of its own yet, frankly.If I am not mistaken there is some initiative in that direction happening in Reddit. A slightly chaotic place to host such a resource, but…"
"I don't know what to suggest at this point. I had been hoping that the situation would resolve itself by whatever system arises to take Diamond's place (assuming, of course, something does). My main concerns are Fantagraphics, IDW and Hermes Press.…"
"Don't know what I'm going to do when this resource goes away entirely. As it is, there's no Fantagraphics, no IDW, etc.
We could grow our own, as they say. I do get most of solicitations three months in advance, and those I don't get I can get…"
"The SEP 2025 catalog is now available online, although honestly I'm at a loss to explain why, because it is my understanding that Diamond stopped shipping product months ago. This month it's only 58 pages (before the "supplies" and "manga"…"
"I read the first issue a couple of days ago, and I really did enjoy it. My favorite story probably was "Garden Variety" My problem with that story was that the font used on the title page was impossible for me to read. I actually had to flip back to…"
"I would say you do not need an amplifier. The rest I guess it wouild be a personal preference. I did get rid of all of my cassettes around 1999, but I didn't have many anyways and the ones I cared about I had already replaced with CDs.
Another…"
