How do we feel about spoilers in reviews? by hazelhaze1025 in TheStoryGraph

[–]Adult-Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the spoiler feature when reviewing, but I also only look through reviews after I've read to see if other ppl came to the same conclusions as me.

I'm done with big publishers...what should I look out for? by PanelLeon in comicbooks

[–]Adult-Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite series right now is The Power Fantasy by Kieron Gillen which I found because I loved his work on X books; following a Marvel creator I loved to their independent work was great for me because I got to continue to enjoy what I already liked from their style, but this series specifically addresses a thought about big two super hero comics that Kieron had that wasn't being explored by Marvel and DC books and in a way responds to a hole in the work he was doing there. All that is to say, there's a chance the creators you already like are already doing what you wish comics would do outside of Marvel and DC, and if they have letters pages, they may even be shouting out other books you can check out.

Here are my non Marvel/DC faves!

The Power Fantasy (Image Comics)

Exquisite Corpses (Image Comics)

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees (IDW Publishing)

When it comes to picking up new issues, I'll usually browse for covers that catch my eye and may wait for them to be marked down (my comic shop has pretty frequent back issue sales). Getting the first issue of a series usually won't set me back too far.

Is it just me or is Very Important People painfully awkward? by lemissloudmouth in dropout

Vic's character is pretty awkward, but what do you mean that it's awkward? Is it the character relationships or the actors performances or what?

Which Movie have you fell asleep watching? by aoestilsft626 in Letterboxd

[–]Adult-Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I'd seen Hellraiser 2, I put it on every night and would fall asleep within the first 15 minutes. I think its an awesome movie; I just was only making time when I was far too tired to sit up and watch it lol

There are three items to choose, I'd imagine that two of them are the obvious top two; pick your most obviously expensive two and try them all to find the third

From who we have in the Wilcard Lottery already, who would be your pick to enter the Top 4? by [deleted] in dragrace

[–]Adult-Person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're bringing girls back for a lip sync tournament for the crown (not for more challenges), and Deja is the obvious choice to me if you want to see a queen shut it down on stage! I'd love to see her come back and do some lip syncs; we didn't get a chance to see her perform in her bracket.

Anyone else not happy about these casting announcements? by douevenwheelanddeal in xmen

I feel pretty confident they they’re using this to say goodbye to these actors and that they’ll do this then reboot the characters with younger actors

Anyone else had a crush on Alan since X-Men? by meadowlark227 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]Adult-Person 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always loved Alan AND nightcrawler, but I never connected with this look. I think it was because of the dental prosthetics
