Berserk arrived. I'm really surprised by how Amazon US has such worse quality shipping compared to Japan. In Japan, when they ship books, it's sent in a small box and is wrapped to thin piece of cardboard for support. In the US, the book literally rips through the packaging. Luckily, it looked fine when I pulled it out.
I'm not sure if I'll buy any more of these Berserk Deluxe volumes, since I already own the whole series in Japanese (and I'm not really a fan of most manga translations), but it's nice to have this one.
Pretty cool, because I've never owned a manga this size before. I'd have to say the best edition of a manga I've ever had is still Vertical's release of Gundam: The Origin (especially due to that beautiful paper).

I mean I assume so, I just wasn't sure if those were people of importance to Marvel history, or just random people they drew to represent the leadership of the Hand.
I figure that's Stone in the back, he's the only one I would recognize.
nah, just half of the series in like a day and a half
oh man, enjoy! both are really great. To be honest I was a little overwhelmed by omni 4 so having a break in between might be good
While Legacies is from the eyes of an average person, it's different from Marvels in that it tells a very long history of the DCU rather than just a few decades, presumably like the History of the Marvel Universe. Also, Legacies focuses more on the events than the character compared to Marvels.
Now, both Marvels and Legacies use the everyman because it's a good way to deliver a spanning story and keep it from feeling like a history book. I'm curious what plot device this book will use. I always enjoy this type of thing, because I can't read every single book published.
at least you didn't drop your title days before the biggest pay per view your company does every year.The disrespect in this thread.
also pls warn me when you're gonna remind me of TPN feelings
Finally totally current with the Justice League series, and... they're all really good. I was upset that Priest's JL was a placeholder, but I can't complain about the results. Is Williamson off JLO? Is Abnett his replacement? Or did they just switch Abnett on because Williamson was pulling double-duty on Batman, with the The Price event?
I love JL and JLD. JLO, however, has characters I like (Starfire, Cruz), but otherwise hasn't done much for me. Justice League Dark, however, has truly been a pleasant surprise. I've always liked the magic side of DC and this is doing a great job of revitalizing that.
Just finished Life of Captain Marvel, and it was good, but is the source of her powers really now just that she's
half Kree? I mean...she's crazy powerful and has Binary mode and all that. That's not standard Kree powers is it? In fact, does the plain ol Kree citizen have flight powers etc?
My friend started Berserk last year, and he was reading scans. They were very poorly translated, and this was a gem I took from a page he showed me.
If you look back earlier in this thread, or maybe last month's thread, I made a comment that JLO is worthless and we're all worse off for its having been released. I've done a 180 after the last couple issues. They're finally getting to the point, and it's tying in with the Source Wall stuff and I kinda dig it. It's definitely the weakest of the group, but I don't find it insulting anymore!
Because people don't give a shit about the Hell Lords other than two.
Dormammu, Mephisto, Hela, Magik
That's four of seven
I'll give you that most dont give a fuck about any of the rest, but those four alone can pull in so many other characters.
Fair enough, but is Dormammu even doing anything these days?
I haven't read the most recent issue, but might give it a shot. I think it doesn't help that I really liked the last things I've read with Cruz (Green Lanterns) and Starfire (her solo series from a few years ago). I'm not consciously comparing JLO to those, but it's hard not to think "I've seen better versions of these characters recently" as I read it.
Who cares?
Audience: Thor why're you here?
Thor: Hela said she'd kick my ass if I didn't come
Audience: Spider-man and Ghost Rider? Man's that's crazy.
Spider-Man: Fucking Mephisto that fucking fuck
Audience: Dormammu?
Strange: Dormammu
And then you got Magik for your default Big Good Hell Lord as she's the only one that's gotten over their "Enslave/Torture/Destroy humanity and enjoy the suffering of the innocents." character tic
But she is a mutant? I doubt she actually cares about humanity at this point.
Eh... she likes Dr. Strange and the Earth not being a xerox copy of hell would be decent enough motivation since she already has her own
Was very tempted to do that too, but I'm glad I stuck with it after all
They mostly just skirt around it.
A lot of implying, a lot of them hanging out, a lot of magic borrowing but never fully commiting to an actual story arc.
S7 Buffy was basically getting to that point.
Whedon also based her personality and characterization off of Kitty Pryde, so when people talk about how he write Kitty like Buffy in his Astonishing run, he's really writing her like herself.
Some of the comments..."that's all?" "It's so short!"
I'm like, uhhh, have you SEEN how detailed his art is? And when is the last time you've read a monthly run that has the same artist for 24 issues in a row? It's very rare.
When it was first announced it was only going to be like 12 issues. So im just glad to get 24 tbh, let along Morrison back at DC. After that, who knows. Maybe we will get something else from him.
Cool, cool. I had no idea what had been said about their plans for their run.
Huh, I can check out this week's comics now? It is still not midnight in PST, and yet I can start reading Ironheart #4.
Breh let me tell you about this glorious thing we call Duwang.My friend started Berserk last year, and he was reading scans. They were very poorly translated, and this was a gem I took from a page he showed me.
Maybe I been too used to checking it out at midnight these last couple of months, but it was definitely not like that last year.
do people in here buy the marvel encyclopedias,or the dc character guides? I was thinking abought getting these so i can learn more about the characters.
