Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 246436, member: 3864"] With not nearly enough actual stories to go with 'em, thank God Absolute Martian Manhunter is *amazing*. It's been fantastic so far, the new take on the character is fun but familiar, and the artwork by (primarily) Hayden Sherman is a monthly delight. I love their style, and I'm particularly fond of the layout designs.

That's fun, I read through a bit of it this year too! I'm reading Exquisite Corpses now, though in general I'm kinda half and half on Tynion. I find his stuff very digestible, but none of it really sticks with me so far. (I haven't started reading Something is Killing the Children yet though, which I've also heard is his best!) Look the 90's could be goofy slop, but the slop never looked better than The Darkness! All new to me, thanks for always giving me something interesting to look for! The shadows in that Bernet page are *LUSH*, and the way they're depicting pouring rain, with the little details like the hem of her jacket to suggest the wind, or how we know *exactly* which direction the light is coming from as she opens that door slowly? Amazing. I love film noir, I'm an easy mark for this stuff. Definitely the first time we've been grouped together in a sentence. Well, well, well, if it isn't the warming of the cockles of my little black heart! My personal code of ethics functions somewhere around 1 TPB purchase=10 GB of comic, trash that I am. (I also got rid of a lot of stuff to share the space once I was engaged, and organizing a digital collection has just been easier for the relationship). Buncha classics - well, maybe not Street Fighter, but I share your sick compulsion for those. I haven't read Elquest but I've always meant to. I'd never see it at the comic shop growing up, but the adverts always looked so cool. ::heart Just your typical life aggravations, but I've missed talking about comics on here too! That's amazing! (Sick cat notwithstanding, hope they kept you company a good long while). Riiiight, Dematteis got rid of that awkward "tacti-cool" phase that they tried in the mid-90's. [ATTACH alt="1750960849165.png"]84313[/ATTACH] It's embarrassing, but I'm weirdly nostalgic for it? My first Daredevil comic was the Fall From Grace arc where he gets the outfit. (I don't remember it very well, but in hindsight he's stalked by a devil that he can't detect through the city, and it may have been a bit inspired by [I]Predator 2[/I]). (I don't [I]really [/I]think it's a terrible design, it's just a bit flavorless. Like, play up the Japanese/ninja influence on the character a bit, make it a little more demonic, something). EDIT: Okay I went and read a bit of it again, I was just thinking Predator 2 because the devil is invisible (to Daredevil) and speaks with a Jamaican accent. [/QUOTE]
