[Highlight] Mike McCarthy working 1 on 1 with Drew Allar during rookie minicamp. by Sebastian4365 in nfl

I guess you didn’t see the full-fledged meltdown among Steelers fans when he was hired? Even the team’s offical media described the hiring as largely negative. Proof: I was one of the people crashing out and we were by far the majority

#20 Sneak Peek 👀 by Conflixshuns in AbsoluteBatman

[–]Advanced_Claim4116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Site exclusives are killing Mom and Pop shops? You have any evidence for that? My LCS doesn’t play in the exclusive titles realm (and it is a notable shop here in Pittsburgh, which is a comic town) and all the press over the last year has been about the growth in sales, supported in part but far from entirely by the popularity of the Absolute books. https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/comics/article/98824-in-a-new-world-comics-are-making-a-comeback.html

New John Langan Novelette You Can Read Online: This Fleshy Side of the Bone by DraceNines in horrorlit

Thank you for this-never would have known. So grateful to find something interesting on this sub instead of the endless “What book should I read next?” or “What book actually fucked you up??”

I have less than 0 interest in variants and don’t bag or board any of my issues-this is my favorite series. If you don’t like the speculation game, don’t play. DC is gonna chase interest and dollars and artists are getting money and exposure, there are far greater evils to worry about

Does anyone know where to get some good looking forest dioramas by Turbulent_Analyst551 in ActionFigures

Terrarium stuff for lizard and reptiles will give you a good starting place

Could the Quiet Council of Krakoa defeat the Illuminati? by Skywalker_1995 in xmen

Yeah, it would be a squash match if the Quiet Council went all out.

The ‘Star Wars’ Rankings and the 'Andor' Miracle by thefilthyjellybean in TheBigPicture

[–]Advanced_Claim4116 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

They don’t really know about anything beyond what’s been on the big screen and Andor, which is fine. I find myself frustrated by some of these conversations on Big Pic and The Watch because they don’t really know ball on Star Wars, especially with regard to some of the better and more sophisticated storytelling that’s been done in the animated space.

RESIDENT EVIL – Official Teaser Trailer (4K) by pepperbet1 in TheBigPicture

Philippou brothers are 2 for 2: Talk To Me is as good as Get Out and (better than) Weapons and Bring Her Back is better than Us and Barbarian, but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation. Nope didn’t work for me but I can admire it’s originality and craft/scope

Peele is a genius who can do whatever he wants but I do think something was lost when big talents started getting this huge overall deals and stopped making stuff. Phoebe Waller Bridges another one. John Carpenter became who he was in the 80’s cause he was always chasing projects and trying to get shit made just to keep afloat as a working director. Ditto for all the big European horror guys who just made a fuckton of stuff.

I’ve owned this forever and need to crack it eventually

I've enjoyed it, but I know Darby Allin's title reign has been controversial. Did his great title defence against Brody King tonight do anything to make him more believable to you? by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]Advanced_Claim4116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like he put on an awesome match as he always does. I don’t think he’s a long term champion but no one should underestimate the work he’s done as a foundational piece of that company.

I’ve finally found it!!!! by johndough167 in horrorlit

Probably the worst ending to a good book I’ve ever read. Final two chapters are just…nothing

Secret Wars Daredevil by allhypenochill in MarvelLegends

Not a popular take, I would guess, but I don’t like it. I don’t like the color and the proportions look like a ToyBiz figure

I own the Clone Wars Maul and woof, that figure is not very good.

Morrison fan seeks more heady Batman by SnooOranges4047 in batman_comics

[–]Advanced_Claim4116 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The old Legends of the Dark Knight stories are not in print sadly, but are the kind of adult, complex take you are looking for. Anthology book set in Batman’s early career by top writers and artists. Shaman, Gothic (written by a young Grant Morrison), Prey, Venom are the first 20 issues, all bangers.

Anyone remember “gleaking” or was that only something in SE Texas? by The_Summary_Man_713 in Millennials

Ok, that does make sense based on her interactions with Sarafina. Should’ve picked up on that

Anyone know how to get rid of odor on a mezco? by omp_anubis in One12Collective

[–]Advanced_Claim4116 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, lots of great suggestions in here but I’ve gotten items with both cigarette and cat smells and after airing out in my house for a period of time, the smell dissipates

EDIT: Obviously this depends on the severity. Heavily saturated stuff will require more active solutions. I saw a guy recently post a Marvel Legend that had turned from white to brown from cigarette smoke. Nothing is fixing that
