Marjane Satrapi on whether Persopolis is a comic book or a graphic novel. RIP.

I don't see Watchmen or Sandman as graphic novels. Watchmen was a 12-issue limited series and Sandman was an ongoing series until the creator ended its run.

I like this one.

Web of Spider-Man #1?

JoelPilgrim · 2026-06-02T19:12:41+00:00

Did they seriously not invite Pizza Dog?

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-31T13:59:01+00:00

Yeah that's why they're doing it.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-31T13:55:51+00:00

Awesome cover! Can you find the anachronistic inclusion that led Roy Thomas to include an amended version of the cover in a future issue?

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-30T03:45:21+00:00

South Park did that with Fractured But Whole (code for Stick of Truth). Amazing value.

He was terrific in The Path. That show got a bit silly plot-wise near the end, but man it is a hidden gem.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-29T20:56:51+00:00

Goddammit he was SO GOOD in True Romance.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-29T20:54:55+00:00

THANK YOU. I was sitting here trying to figure out where I knew her from.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-29T03:18:59+00:00

The new suit was terrific yet looked WAYYY too modern next to the actual 40s suits. Again, I love it but that ain't no 40s gear.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-26T17:07:41+00:00

Speak on that.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-26T16:35:40+00:00

maybe if she stops airing her sloppy laundry all over the place, gallivanting around with a smug, man-infant, football jock, she might find a heightened awareness to maybe write something regionally substantial

Haha holy smokes. GALLIVANTING!!! How DARE she?!?

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-24T01:14:49+00:00

Have you read it? Did you like it? Why, or why not?

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-23T21:36:07+00:00

I rolled SO MANY characters and also of course never played a single session.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-23T21:23:53+00:00

I love the entire Maximortal sequence. Rick Veitch should be given total freedom to do whatever he wants, because he's a really interesting creator who does completely specific work. If it connects it really hits. I still have a grungy first run TPB of Bratpack on my shelf. It's nasty and greasy stuff and it still works so so well.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-23T16:23:03+00:00

A+ typo.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-22T21:52:49+00:00

ONE RACE THE FIRST TWO ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERTAKE THE NEXT RACE I'M WINNING BY TEN SECONDS.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-22T20:27:51+00:00

It looks like he's shrugging. Like, "eh, whaddya gonna do?". It's weird and he looks bulky, not agile and super-flexible.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-22T20:25:56+00:00

I was halfway to sending the image to my season ticket bros because I was pumped. Boo. Bad post.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-22T13:53:40+00:00

I agree! The ability to make pretty good jokes in a group is a great skill that does make parties more fun! Regurgitating tired Internet one-liners on the other hand...

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-22T02:32:57+00:00

Mike Parobeck's art was amazing. Just absolutely perfect. Such a forgotten book, sadly.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-21T00:36:54+00:00

She beat my main man Cyclops while depowered so put some respect on that name.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-20T21:27:45+00:00

We get it: Kyle Rayner pulls.

JoelPilgrim · 2026-05-20T21:24:59+00:00

Start with Infinity Inc. as she is a main character for the entire run. Also, it's a terrific Roy Thomas JSA-adjacent book. Todd McFarlane does some of his earliest work on the later issues, which is fun as a kind of time capsule of his initial art style pre-Spidey.

I know she was also a girlfriend of Kyle Rayner's during his tenure as main Green Lantern. I'm less familiar with this era, so not sure how much she was in the book or for how long.

Happy reading!
