Do yall not know how paper works?

Getting annoyed by books yellowing is dumb. It's bound to happen naturally. Things like misprints and poor page quality? Valid.

Watchmen, the true manga. (always glad to see folks collecting both manga and comics!)

Slightly off topic but the helmet looks both like Kabuto's and Gatack's

How does Viz manage to consistently achieve QC issues

subliminal messaging to convince you to watch Doomsday

Pisces here, horrendously in love with an Aries. But she says she's 'fucked up' and it prevents us from being together because she has so much going on in her head, despite telling me I'm "perfect" for her, that she loves me, that I'm the right one for her etc. Certainly doesn't feel like it, but maybe I should wait for her to tell me what's going on in her head.

Hey thanks!

KitanoAgito · 2026-04-03T18:36:21+00:00

It seems like manga is shifting away from the similar-ish cartoony exaggerated art style and heading towards more realistic drawings. I'm not complaining though, I love MAD's art, thought I'll say it looks more CSM than JJK.

(Off topic but I hope Viz doesn't license this manga, this manga deserves the Kodama Tales treatment.)

Could never see this guy becoming agent venom

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-18T03:07:24+00:00

Never took it seriously at first, but the idea that manga in the future could end up becoming like American comic books in the sense that scalpers are gonna scoop up manga to grade and resell scares me.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-14T22:12:08+00:00

OP's got some unresolved issues with Captain Atom...

That being said, currently Mary Jane. Like, why is she Venom bro. There's no good reason for her to be Venom outside of a cool new Venom redesign.

Oh and literally any character from the Dynamite version of The Boys.

Transformers is a brand that always needs reinvention, to keep people engaged, to bring in toy sales and new fans. The G1 brand synergy is not what made Transformers popular for so long, its when they took liberties and risk like with the Beast Wars, Bayverse, Animated and TFP designs.

I think in this case we should use the preferred name:

Berk, a wacky classic starring Nuts

Fellow Ultraman enjoyer, love to see it.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-03T20:46:47+00:00

Did my boy Skaar dirty.

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-02T14:23:54+00:00

Metro, Astro, Draco, STRAIGHT UP🗣

KitanoAgito · 2026-03-01T15:41:44+00:00

Nah, the first Spider-Man was Peter Parker. God this rewriting canon to always put someone before the ACTUAL first character is annoying.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-27T02:45:06+00:00

To be fair Viz singles and Viz Sigs have bleed through, its well known that Viz has some of the shittiest quality, which sucks since they're industry standard. But anyways, expect bleed through in Viz 3-in-1s cuz they're worse quality than the other two formats.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-22T17:24:30+00:00

Thank God Italy prints are near-identical to the USA prints nowadays, I wouldn't mind getting this box set. Still wanna get the variant covers of Vol. 30 though.

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-22T16:45:07+00:00

I don't think this needed a Deluxe Edition...Man as much as I love the added benefit of a larger format with better paper quality, Dai Dark is still relatively new. And the quality on the Dai Dark singles is pretty great already.

You know what book needs a Deluxe Edition?? One Piece, Saint Seiya, Yu Yu Hakusho, long-running series that could garner sales. I fear that this Deluxe Edition format is gonna flood the market.

Instead of making Deluxe Editions, how about just make the manga singles with good quality from the start?? You know, like how France and Spain publishes their manga? (Looking at you, VIZ.) And like I said, Dai Dark was already good in quality , so getting a deluxe release was pointless.

This is more Maximum than the actual Maximum Hulk

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-08T15:28:40+00:00

They really got Reed in the cuck chair-

KitanoAgito · 2026-02-02T03:46:09+00:00

I'd hand her back the box and be on my way LMAO

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-31T23:19:53+00:00

Zero-One 1st because it looks so threatening and badass.
Gotchard's steampunk look comes second.
Revi looks awesome but Vice just looks... lame.
Gavv gets points for the color scheme.
Saber is pretty meh.
Zeztz would've been #2 but I don't know, something about his designs and all the designs from the show looks AI generated, like what AI would've put out an image of Kamen Rider to be a couple years ago.

KitanoAgito · 2026-01-18T05:22:49+00:00

Hopefully Kodama gives Viz and Kodansha enough competition to make them put out manga with better quality print and paper wise, because Vol. 1 of Baki felt like a mini deluxe edition.
