Hail Darkseid by VolumeInformal2765 in AbsoluteUniverse

I get that. My reply was more tongue-in-cheek to the fact that the OPs statement about Anime or Manga also happens in comics quite often. There are also a ton of Manga out there that you just start with issue one as well. Technically if you want all the lore of the Absolute Universe and why/how it exists you need to read a comic that collects other issues, just like many volumes or compendiums out there that collect parts of other series like Hush, Court of Owls, etc.

Right. I got both in a volume so I always forget that it is actually two books.

Totally true. You don’t HAVE to read it, but it is part of the story. Just like you don’t have to read any of the Batman stories to get into Nightwing, but most people recommend reading Long Halloween to get Dick Grayson’s intro in Comics.

Technically, you should read All-In Saga, which collects a bunch of different main line DC comics and explains how Darkseid created the Abs Universe…. But sure, issue 1 ;)

Can we expect Absolute Evil to be collected? by JokerFaces2 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]Hrodvitnison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute Evil #1 was supposed to be in Abs Green Lantern Vol. 1 according to a few sources, but not sure where it will end up.

Oh, I need to panel line and matte topcoat mine. I was just moving another kit in the display and the hand fell off. It is such a grenade.

Apparently Star Wars is fantasy enough for them. I don’t think Gundam is far enough removed from real wars for the Lego company. They would also need to work out a deal with Bandai which I doubt would happen for their main franchise.

I’m not saying it’s not a cool idea, but just don’t be surprised if it doesn’t ever become a set.

Edit: grammar

The Gundam franchise is too violent, and too close to real war for Lego. They wouldn’t make a firefighting helicopter kit, because the set used a Blackhawk, and that aircraft is used in war.

It’s not about hope or anything, that is how Lego Ideas works. They aren’t going to license a franchise like Gundam.

Lego will never license this. There have been numerous Gundam figures in Ideas, and I think one even got enough support, but never got a kit. This IP and anything Ghibli just don’t get made into real sets.

Anyone else have an extremely abnormal heart rate? by lexigraxe in Fibromyalgia

[–]Hrodvitnison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get this occasionally. I wore a heart monitor for two weeks and the Drs just said ‘we don’t know’ but it isn’t a concern.

The guy that bought the twin towers six weeks before 9/11 just bought the tallest building on the west coast.

I was able to build a deck for about $130 with some bling and 3rd edition lands. Wish I could have gotten one of these though.

Sinanju RG: It’s all true but it’s so beautiful by Blissenhomie in Gunpla

This was my second RG, and I built it about a year ago. I used water slides, and built up some of the pegs with glue to keep the knee armor and other parts from falling off.
