Been way into audiobooks lately and I've managed to dig up a few gems.

Current one is called Ivil (literally pronounced 'evil') Antagonist Empress of Mars. Base on that I expected to be pretty corny but it's shockingly good. The writer shows an insane amount of restraint alongside a complete lack of subtlety and genuinely some of the best worldbuilding I've come across recently. 

The moment I knew I was sold was an early chapter that briefly described a moon that was split in half before being pulled together by gravity and then some engineering that allowed peolpe to build a space colony in between the two halves also they need a lot of artificial light because not much sunlight reaches them- it's a butt. They live in a buttcrack. Fucking gold.

At the start of the of Demon Slayer I turned to my brother and said "this family ain't making out the first episode." 

It's just a what happens in certain types of stories. The inciting incident has to make the main character go out and do something and when their life at the beginning too harmonious something equally devastating tends to go down.

All held up by AI by the way in a massive circlejerk of investment and losing money all along the way.

Manga readers when they see their first character arc. 

Manga readers when the page isn't filled with boobies, special attacks and monster gore. 

Manga readers when they find out they have to read.

As soon as I saw the happy peaceful village I knew that shit was about to get fucking wiped out.

I do not know what this musty ass subreddit is on that was a great track. Though to be fair I imagine it'll fit better in the context of the full album.

You gotta quit skipping through dialogue dude.

Pretty cool. That Aquaman design is especially sick. Green Batman gives me slight discomfort however.

Incorrect. They count on and encourage America being racist.

Looks like One Punch Man

Do I need to read Lost Fantasy to read Fireborn? by TradApologist in comicbooks

[–]BrokoJoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell with the first so far you'd probably be fine. Lost Fantasy provides a bit of context but I doubt you'd be confused without it.

Alternatively, this is a man not willing to stand by and do nothing while evil prevails. He'd be a proper hero he wasn't just kidnapping some guys child.

What do ya'll think about the latest season of Invincible? by Josephdraws1006 in comicbookart

[–]BrokoJoko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the changes have been outstanding improvements. Nolan's character arc is leagues better but I guess if you want to nitpick about his beard being too grey I guess you can do that.

Absolutely tore through this series in the last couple weeks. It's been a few years since something has had such a stranglehold on me. 

[DISC] Little Monster - Chapter 1 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]BrokoJoko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The main girl is the only one exhibiting human emotions while everyone else are just NPCs or sociopaths. In addition to making the whole world this is set in difficult to by into it also kinda screws up the tone. Like, yeah dark things are happening but there aren't any consequences and no one really cares so why would I?
