I think there's actually one more Knightmare issue coming out Weds.

How do you expect him to be the best that there ever was if he can't put in the time?
Possibly. But they only really work if you're marrying four other people and a merman.
Exactly as I expected, goddamnit. Here's hoping the Bane(?) arc will be better. Thanks anyways
Oh, you are right. Another issue left in this Arc., because it needed 7 issues.
Knightmare Batman has a better design than Batman Batman. Change my mind.
The image quality of the comics on DC Universe seems like it might actually be worse than Marvel Unlimited. Will definitely have to be selective of what I read on that vs. what I just shell out money on during a sale.
Also I now understand the pain of moving physical comics since I'm moving in about 10 days.

If you're on the app there's a HD/SD toggle for comic quality. I had to manually select HD the first time but then it saved it.
Finishing up all of Hopeless' Cloak and Dagger right now. Read it kinda haphazardly. Like, not totally in order so I'm gonna need to reread the whole batch, but for now I just got whatever's left of Negative Exposure.
I'm not a huge Cloak and Dagger expert, but this is definitely an enjoyable book. For the most part. Wasn't expecting all of the relationship drama to be so negative.

I've given Hellboy hundreds of dollars over the years but I'm not willing to give them $8 to see the movie. I'll catch it on Netflix.So...
Hellboy...
yeah.
Yup, and thank goodness. I was deeply disappointed at first by the quality on my tablet. Still not CMX quality, but way better than before.
The script makes Suicide Squad feel competent.
$5.75 I'll never get back. And I had to watch it alone because all my friends seem to have predicted this outcome...

Thanks! It's cool that they have that feature but dumb that there's no indication that it exists. Now I can actually be excited when they add all the new stuff soon.
I know it's manga, but at Barnes and Noble there's a deal for Viz manga: Buy 2, get 1 Free
Got the first 3 Viz bigs of DBZ for $40. So now I own the first three Viz bigs and the final one (got it as a present).
So now I need 4-8

No problem, it definitely threw me for a loop the first time I went to read something. On Android at least, the toggle is on the top navigation pane on the right side if you tap on the screen when reading a comic:

My Hero Academia
The Promised Neverland
Goodnight Punpun
Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction
Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba
One Punch Man
Golden Kamuy
Kaguya Sama: love is war
These are the Viz titles I read currently. I'll vouch for all of them.

There are two things I expect from Cloak and Dagger.
Those two together
And Angst.
Hopeless didn't deliver enough on either of those things.
Super big spoilers - includes lots of comic spoilers also I am guessing. Having slept on it, I need to get this out of my system. I don't even know how much worse it must have been for someone watching it with no Hellboy background.
Where do I even begin. It felt more like a Hellboy parody starring Jack Black.
In 120 mins, they squeezed in everything they could think of. The movie just jumps around quite a bit.
- Opens with a random Lucha Libre fight.
- Hellboys origin story (Rasputin has like 5 secs of screen time before he gets scarred and killed by Lobster's claw.)
- Alice's origin story/Gruagach's origin story
- Daimio's origin story - narrated and visualised while he is flying a chopper. (Similar to the the Katana scene in SS...).
- Nimue's origin story.
- All of Wild Hunt/giant slaying/Gruagach collecting up Nimue's parts/invasion from hell/Merlin-Arthur backdrop/invasion of demons.
- Lobster Johnson who is propped up as this star everyone is in awe of. With no build up whatsoever.
- Visit and fight with Baba Yaga. (Which was admittedly decently done. The house and her were very creepy).
- A pointless action scene to discover Abe Sapien as the ending scene
Some highlights-
- Bruttenholm is still alive for some reason and a constant thread is Hellboy behaving like a spoilt teenager. I was expecting him to mumble "you're not my real dad" and he even says something close to that.
- Hellboy asks Bruttenholm why he was made into a weapon to kill his brothers and sisters... and then every non-human in the movie was shown as blood-thirsty baby eating (literally) monster.
- Bruttenholm asks Hellboy to "grow a pair".
- There's a parallel plot of Daimio planning to kill Hellboy and creating some special bullets with holy water.
- The "jokes" are all painfully unfunny. e.g. - Gruagach gives a dismembered Nimue (who is sitting on a couch watching tv) a box of Jaffa cakes.
- Daimio turns into a Jaguar to fight alongside Hellboy. After one scene, Alice says "I like cats". Daimio says "I am more of a dog person".
- Nimue asks Hellboy to be his king. He says it wouldn't work out because "he is Capricorn and she is nuts".
- Hellboy kicks away Nimue's dismembered head and says "You should have quit while you were a head."
- 'fuck' and its various forms are used more in the movie than in a Tarantino flick. For no fucking reason.
- The sound track and sound editing was terrible. I actually think a couple of songs were cut off mid lyric sentence to jump to the next scene.
- Lots of lip sync problems for some reason? At times it felt like I was watching a dubbed 1970s HK action movie.
- Alice's and Daimio's accents were physically painful to listen to. As was everyone elses.

I am so done with school this semester. Woke up at 7:30am for class, get there and the teacher says he forgot his notes so see ya Wednesday for the exam lol. Go see my advisor to find 1 more class for next semester and get a shitty attitude.
Also it's snowing again. It was 70+ degrees all week, and now it's freaking snowing!

Oh, just remembered the opening line of the movie. No need to spoiler this.
"It was called the Dark Ages for a fucking good reason"

Wow. Didn't expect to get the OP title do early this month.
A producer probably saw Deadpool's box office numbers and thought: "R rated + Comicbook movie + Low budget= instant success"
I realize their lighter fare like Aquaman and Shazam have done much better in the public consciousness than BvS/Justice League, but I do kinda wish DC was running with the (supposedly) darker Ezra Miller/Grant Morrison screenplay for the Flash movie than the lighter take it's supposed to be.
Marvel already has the lighter "popcorn movies" market cornered and look at those. With a few exceptions almost all of the MCU movies have the same kinda feel and don't really take risks or anything. I'd much rather have a Marvel movie try to do something different and flop rather than the same almost milquetoast takes (besides like Black Panther and Ragnarok) we keep getting. They're enjoyable for what they are, and I like watching them, but I'd like to see them swap it up.
Eternals could be that movie if it's anything like Neil Gaiman's mini (the only Eternals thing I've read).
