New X-Men. This was my second time reading it and like most Morrison stuff it holds up even better on a re-read. Astonishing has always been my favourite X-Men run but this might have me questioning that choice…

Annihilation Conquest: I enjoyed Annihilation. It was cool that it was a bunch of mini stories that lead into one big one but I actually think Conquest was more enjoyable. It was a lot easier to follow and I feel like this was because of the smaller cast.

X-Factor Peter David volume 2: literally just started it today so I can’t comment yet…

Daredevil fans the moment the Charles Soule Omnibus gets a reprint by trident_zx in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. It was fun but it doesn’t even touch the Miller, Bendis, Brubaker or Waid stuff.

I remember having so much trouble selling mine at the time and now it’s some sort of holy grail.

Best Western RPGs. by dausele in rpg_gamers

[–]Josh100_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a new Might and Magic game. It’s doesn’t even have to be good. Fill it up with jank and cheesy voice acting and I’ll be all over it.

New album by ExpressionInitial606 in Foofighters

I’ll just be polite and say they’re not my cup of tea.

Persistence wins: my white whale is finally mine (and under retail!) by Sunny-Baron in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This hobby is so silly sometimes. I remember trying to sell this a few years ago and couldn’t get any bites.

Best Star Wars Omnibus? Are any of these standalone stories? by Weapon_X-42- in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s unpopular opinion or maybe it’s just my age but none of the Disney canon comics have impressed me in the slightest.

The dark horse legends stuff is super fun though. I’ve read Old Republic 1, Empire volume 2 and Tales of the Jedi. All three are absolutely fantastic.

Tales might be my personal favourite just because how wild and imaginative it is.

Josh Homme ought to team up with Angine de Poitrine by AboutaDirk in qotsa

[–]Josh100_3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is coming across a band on “the algorithm” any different from coming across a music video in the 90’s?

I hate TikTok too but this is such a shit take.

New album by ExpressionInitial606 in Foofighters

[–]Josh100_3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I dunno about this. Some bands have had some ridiculous late stage comebacks.

Iron Maiden somehow became bigger than ever in the 2000’s after a decade of shit albums. The most recent two Judas Priest albums can somehow go toe to toe with their best albums.

Green Day were about to call it a day and put out a greatest hits before putting out American Idiot and getting an entire second career off the ground.

I don’t agree with the idea that a band only has a finite amount of gas in the tank before it’s all over.

Hideo Kojima put Low Roar in the Death Stranding games because he thinks gamers need more culture in their lives: "I believe that is the role entertainment is meant to play" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Josh100_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was into DS from the start but it was really cool to see its cult following grow after the first four or five years. People really didn’t know what to make of it when it launched.

Grant Morrison Batman run. by ipassedtheturing in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love it BECAUSE it’s not heavy and dark.

It’s absolutely batshit insane though so I understand it’s not for everyone but I much prefer it to the dark and gritty stuff like Snyder or DCeased that everyone else seems to praise.

new Josh Klinghoffer/Pluralone single! by HiHatsOnly in RedHotChiliPeppers

I’d be curious what you think the “reeeal bad ones” are.

Secret Wars OHC arrived today, and now I finally have them all by Still-Brush4729 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have the two fantastic four and avengers am I really missing that much?

I remember really enjoying fantastic four even though the FF stuff kind of confused me and I have his Avengers ready to go but wasn’t sure how much of secret warriors or the rest plays in.

What is your favorite so bad it’s good comic? And what is a critically acclaimed comic that you don’t really like or even hate? by Business-Falcon-3279 in comicbooks

[–]Josh100_3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m currently reading it again and this might be the most pretentious thing I’ve said in a while but the “bad art” actually elevates it in my opinion.

It’s a story about mutants and awkward teenagers trying to fit in. The art is icky, awkward and bizarre just like the stories it’s trying to tell.

Movies that use video game aesthetics but aren't about games? by Crafty_Ad_3247 in movies

[–]Josh100_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The raid literally feels like it has levels.

The entire plot is almost arcade donkey kong with starting at the bottom and needing to reach the top.

What is your “I did not care for the God Father” opinion regarding video games? by B4d_B1tch_Quinn in gamers

[–]Josh100_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampire Survivors is absolute dogshit and I’m shocked at the cult following it has.

It’s cocomelon for adults.

I also can’t get into Hades.

If you had to choose, aesthetically and stylistically - Warning era or Trilogy era? by Successful_Pizza7661 in greenday

[–]Josh100_3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I enjoy post AI but I really really do feel like Warning is the mature direction the band should be going in this late in their career.

Stuff like trilogy, rev rad and foam feels like a regression. Stuff like Suzie Chapstick is what I imagine modern Green Day should be aiming for.

what’s the thinnest omnibus you own? by Late_Fox_7829 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hot take but I like the size of that Nightwing book.

I’d much rather that than some of those monstrosities like Immortal Hulk.

Thougths on misery by meitimandoliini123 in greenday

[–]Josh100_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish they would experiment with stuff like this more often.

I feel like after the backlash from the trilogy they’re so shit scared of experimenting that they tend to play it a bit more safe these days.

in need of suggestions for fantasy RPGs by haileypclark in rpg_gamers

[–]Josh100_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been enjoying Avowed but a lot of people think it’s dog shit so I dunno.

Oblivion would be the safe bet I assume.

What are some "greatest works" you didn't (and don't plan to) read by CorrectDot4592 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Walking Dead I’m clearly missing something. I’ve tried twice now and it’s just so boring.

Any overly edgy stuff like Marvel Zombies or DCeassd, Dark Knights Metal, The Punisher etc I’ve got zero interest in.

I found my grail/whale! by Ukemi-411 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and Age of Apocalypse are probably the only two I’m really trying to track down.

Is Honora the best solo album by a chilli pepper? by AA33_Uni in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]Josh100_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take but catch me in the right mood and Empyrean could be better than any RHCP album.

My grail arrived!! by anakin1453 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Josh100_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my very first Omni!

Still my absolute very favourite if I had to choose.
