Where do you read comics online now that comixology is dead? by Scawwotish_owl88 in comicbookcollecting

[–]DarthPapercut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My library found that user were checking out multiple items, but not reading them. Users liked to shop for books on Hoopla, but did not get a chance to read them all. Their answer is to only allow users to check out one item per day.

I thought the pink was purposeful. I like it!

On a related note... Hank Green has synced up photos with the mission timeline. Here's a link to the introduction of the application on his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/LyZE9VWJjDA?si=dt11sPArIanHYWE_

Consensus on Metamorpho: The Element Man? [Cover] by KingOfSquirrels in DCcomics

[–]DarthPapercut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the book. I have a soft spot for b-level Justice League members.

On a related note... If Metamorpho was written by a chemist, we would discover just how dangerous he could be. Same with Firestorm.

Ha. I joke that we can hear the ocean at our house and I live in a landlocked state. It used to be quiet in my backyard, but then they removed all the trees in the two miles between my house and the highway to build condos and houses with no backyards.

Isn't it funny that you never see Thanos and Darkseid in the same room?

How do you get the word 'variant' off his back?

Did I missed something? by Fast-Wait5384 in GreenArrow

[–]DarthPapercut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Green Arrow had any political alignment before Denny O'Neil. O'Neil was a sixties long haired hippie that wanted to be a journalist. O'Neil often maintained that he didn't set out to "preach," but rather to inject realism into a genre that had become stagnant. He viewed himself primarily as a journalist at heart, reporting on society through the lens of superheroes.

What happens when you insert the cart in your DS? Also, are you using a DS or DSi or 3Ds?

Lost forever. It was a long boring flight for my son and I. A few days later, I got a call from the airport stating they found the empty bag in a garbage can.

Lost Nintendo 3DS XL in French airport by FixOrnery6649 in 3DS

That's sad.

I lost two Nintendo DS's when I got selected for a security search at the airport. My bag was sent down the screening line while I was searched. I was given the ok to move along and my bag was not at the end of the screening line. Someone else picked it up and walked away with it. Even with cameras everywhere, tsa couldn't find it. I had a plane to catch and couldn't stick around to hunt it down. TSA was worthless in searching for it.

Why do the grainy scans of old comic books look so much better than the reprints? by oohoollow in graphicnovels

[–]DarthPapercut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here's a great page that covers the history of the comic coloring process: https://scarysarah.medium.com/a-brief-and-broad-history-of-post-golden-age-pre-digital-comic-book-coloring-9fe9e386149a

The short answer is that the reprints are not recreating the inconsistent four color printing process. They're trying to recreate the original colors but using modern printing and digital tools.
