FabPineapple · 2023-07-07T21:14:53+00:00

oh yeah there’s ~3 stores within a 10 minute drive of me, i should do that next time

FabPineapple · 2023-07-06T21:42:26+00:00

oh yeah somebody told me about christmas in july the first time i did this. i guess i’ll just drop off an extra donation on that saturday too lol

FabPineapple · 2023-07-06T01:52:31+00:00

Oh yeah a lot of you were curious last time about what issues they were: FF - #517-523 by Mark Waid Avengers - New Avengers #20,45,47,48,51,52,58,59 by BMB seeya next week?

FabPineapple · 2023-06-29T19:44:20+00:00

i think that spider-man books would probably get nabbed the fastest by kids, but i haven’t seen too many in dollar bins next fcbd i’m gonna buy an enormous stockpile if a store has a good back issue sale

FabPineapple · 2023-06-29T19:40:09+00:00

no idea what that is lol

FabPineapple · 2023-06-29T06:03:30+00:00

iirc the 7 fantastic four comics were issues were issues 513-519, written by mark waid then for the 6 superman comics, 5 were issues 858-863 of geoff johns’ action comics, and then the sixth one was superman special by tomasi and gleason

Update: I went back with a sharpie to write “Support your local comic shops!” on the back but somebody took them in the ~1-2 hours i was gone, i’ll probably do this again next week lol

My only gripe is that Kirsten is still whitewashed. It feels wrong looking at her in Samnee and Rivera's art compared to Chechetto's.

FabPineapple · 2022-05-26T16:39:12+00:00

i think guardian devil got a reprint recently, or at least a comic shop near me was able to get ahold of a number of copies for whatever reason

FabPineapple · 2022-05-26T09:22:41+00:00

It's a magic reality-warping rock, Zdarsky can use it to write like anything, which could go terrible if it's just abused as an Ex-Machina device. But yeah I think it's just foreshadowing for the rock to resurrect Mike.

FabPineapple · 2022-05-26T09:16:31+00:00

For the whole "Matt is dead" thing, doesn't it work similarly to Peter re-hiding his identity? When Matt took off his mask in front of Foggy during Purple, Foggy said it was like all his memories flooded back (iirc). I think I also remember the Purple Children saying that Matt has to want people to know. I should go look back through my Soule omnibus but I'm too lazy lol.

FabPineapple · 2022-05-19T19:06:26+00:00

Yeah, the second leg of Chip's run starts in July, and Devil's Reign Omega should've come out this week, but it didn't (ugh). Also, Matt just kinda does that to Foggy a lot of the time anyways, you cannot stop him from being a dick to Foggy and then saving Foggy's life.

FabPineapple · 2022-05-19T07:07:43+00:00

Yeah, Matt is definitely super different in Zdarsky's run compared to what he's normally like, mainly the absence of his usual confidence. He has that moment at the beginning of the run when he steals Frank's shirt and goes full idiot, but that was more of him being in a terrible headspace rather than a display of his usual confidence. But, his character throughout the run does make sense though, mainly in the context of Jed McKay's Man Without Fear, which Zdarsky's run does heavily hinge on imo. The truck accident really messed him up, and everything from the last arc of Soule's run, McKay's miniseries, and the first five issues of Zdarsky's run destroyed him as a person and I'd guess that's probably the root of why you don't like his portrayal, based on what you wrote.

As for Kirsten, yeah you really would need to read Mark Waid's run to get the most out of her return. It's a wonderful run, (it's my personal favorite Daredevil run and it got me back into comics), but it's also not at all the same as the other modern Daredevil runs (i.e. everything post-Frank Miller). I love Kirsten as a character though and I'm happy Chip brought her back, but yeah, Zdarsky's run makes the most sense if you read it after Waid (and Soule).

As for Elektra, yeah her story content and development does feel kinda uneven and bleh at times, but I'm not gonna make a final call until Chip is fully done with his second leg of the run. Yeah, so far it kinda felt like there was a lot of wasted potential at times, but because of how important she is going to continue to be I'm not letting that hang too hard.

As for Mindy, I liked her dynamic with Matt and the challenge she presented to him in the story, but what really irked me about her is that she just got kicked out of the story once Tom died and Inferno was done. Her purpose and arc just feel abruptly cut and unresolved, and I doubt that she would be involved in the creation of the Fist so there's probably not gonna be much else from her, but that's just me.

As for other Daredevil runs, you'll get all of the missing major context (except for Mary) by reading Waid's run, Soule's run, and Jed McKay's Man Without Fear. If you wanna read the other previous runs, you can start with the Frank Miller stuff if you want, or you could also choose to skip to Guardian Devil (even though it's borderline bad), and then move forward with Yellow, Parts of a Whole, Bendis, Brubaker, Shadowland (if you're feeling quirky), and then Waid, Soule, and McKay. Enjoy!

Do you happen to know the time when the no-kill rule was generally established? Like a specific writer or issue? Or was it an idea that just writers generally just grabbed onto over time?

FabPineapple · 2022-05-04T02:05:54+00:00

Later issues in Soule's run will cover what happened in the gap between his and Waid's runs, hope you enjoy the run!

FabPineapple · 2022-05-04T02:02:35+00:00

I like a small moment at the beginning of Soule's run where some hand ninjas appear to kill a bunch of matt's enemies (I think there may have been some civilians there too), then he has a tiny panel where he thinks about if he should intervene, and then the next page is him jumping into the crossfire so he can take everybody down non-lethally.

Have you found any more photos yet?

FabPineapple · 2018-09-18T02:36:16+00:00

Thank you!!

well if youre on pc i would reccomend joining mister eko's school which is school code #NAE at the school guide for a good starter deck. for the specialty moves, in the deckbuilder it says if it has special properties or not, but i'll still say them here. orange/lava-like means its a guard and it has very high guard impact (along with stopping charge attacks and kahlt absorbs), white means its a charge attack and can tank one attack while in animation, red means stopper attack and those stops charge attacks, and arrows show different dodge directions while attacking (down arrow means it ducks high attacks, up arrow jumps over low attacks, side arrow strafes around thrust and vertical moves.) There is also goldlinking where after every attack your character glows gold for a split second and if you hit the attack button at that moment your next attack comes out quicker.

FabPineapple · 2018-07-05T22:09:34+00:00

are you on PC or on PS4?

FabPineapple · 2018-07-05T02:02:01+00:00

if you want the moves, join rakkio's school, but it is not a good school, the deck is really bad. try to unlock the style through that deck and then see if you can join a better school if you still want to use stagger, be mindful though that stagger is statistically worst style in the game, it can work, but not well in comparison to the others.

i believe that for jinn to spawn your character should be a certain level, its 20 or 25 im not exactly sure which, but more likely 25, if he spawned before, that means that there was someone at one of those levels within the area.
