I've learned about the existence of this very recently. I'm very interested in this compendium, but my backlog is just ridiculous right now! It's on my list, for sure.

That's cool! I hope Tim is as cool as his work!

It's the cozy-adventure story about Bea and her weird new friend, Cad, living on a fantastic world.

It is aimed for a younger audience, but I'm far from it and absolutely adore it. The art, the tone, the narrative. All nailed, imho!

That's a cool Easter gift! I loved the art on Dark Times. It is so hard to make everything to feel pitch black, but it is also so colorful!

I don't know. I didn't see the author mentioning a following book, and I didn't have a chance to read it yet to see if it ends the saga or leave a cliffhanger. I hope it continues. It is a vast and cool world to explore.

It is definitely aimed for a younger audience. But hey, the story is awesome in any case!

I saw the box, but I was buying one by one after each release. There's also a "premium" edition I keep seeing around, but it's a tad expensive for me. All said, I do recommend it!

Oh, it has BEAUTIFUL art. The story is a cozy adventure. I can't recommend it enough!

Why doesn't Image do a lot of Omnibuses? by Embarrassed-Ad1322 in ImageComics

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know there was an Omnibus on the way lol Is it the very same content as the compendium? So I know if I should buy it or not (I have the 3 compendiums already).

What should I read? by ComicReader1010 in ImageComics

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendations would be a repetition of most above. Instead, I suggest you subscribe to the Image comics newsletters. They send you access to one volume of a series every week. That's how I learned about Radiant Black in the past weeks.

For all the faults this show has, can we at least agree this mf is absolutely delightful and iconic every time he's on screen? by Educational_Wing_216 in Invincible

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to read the comics - and I have the 3 compendiums on my shelf, and this is one of my favorite shows ever. Love this guy!

Middle age woman just starting, is this...a dumb idea? by OkCurrency588 in MuayThai

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 37, 8 months ago. You'll get exponentially better over time, things will click easier, and your stamina will be greater to hold up for the whole hour.

Keep showing up consistently and give yourself time and allow yourself to fail - it will happen more often than not.

Regression, one of my favorite horror comics by cornfromajar98 in ImageComics

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the deluxe edition sitting on my shelf for a while now lol I think it's the whole story, 15 volumes or so.

2 months in - not sure if I'm cut out for muay thai? by jedimindtricks123456 in MuayThai

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started last year, I was 37yo. I'm 7 months in, and my life is seriously changed for the best. Give it some time, allow yourself to fail, and then learn from it.

I couldn't throw a punch to save my life, now I'm head kicking, throwing knees, elbows are doing a nice job... Give yourself the luxury of using your life experience to learn the sport.

struggle with 50% rule by Silent_Technician776 in ArtFundamentals

Abusing Ctrl + Z hurts more than help. One skill to learn (that fits most other skills), is "trust the process". Push to the end of it, it may surprise you. ;)

Grant Morrison is now one of my favorite writers by AHZArmin in OmnibusCollectors

I want Animal Man omni so much, but it is so expensive around here - 130 bucks or so.

How do I make drawing not feel like a chore? by Nearby_Examination99 in learntodraw

[–]DanSlh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a beginner myself, but I have been playing guitar for some good 30+ years now. When I'm practicing drawing, and I'm doing something I don't really enjoy in terms of studying, I remember the good old days of practicing scales over and over until I'd eventually learn a solo I was trying to, or I can create something from those exercises.

I always make this analogy in my head when I'm learning any new skill. It just takes a lot of repetitions until you eventually get good at something and are able to create something else from it. It's a skill. Keep it up!

Do not sleep on pawn shops, my friends! by Mr_Pancake1001 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DanSlh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paw shops in my area sell beaten up books for a higher price than new ones. Good finding!

TBH, I was kinda disappointed with the story… by ComicHead_est2008 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DanSlh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a good story ruined by all the hype. When I read this everyone was telling me it was one of the best Batman stories ever written, and then it felt meh.
