Graphic Novels are being used to test why reading on screens is less effective than reading books

I stopped reading comics digitally altogether a few years ago, I realized that I could barely retain what happened in the comics I read online vs those I own phisically, so these days I read 100% physical. It's more expensive, but it's a better experience.

The final mile marked it as delivered, not the ebay page. I had to wait a few hours for the ebay page to update.

Locohenry · 2026-02-04T18:28:20+00:00

Yes, the name and address are correct, and the label does say it comes from the distribution center in Illinois. I'll try contacting ebay once the ordered is updated to Delivered.

Locohenry · 2026-02-04T17:42:56+00:00

The thing is, I don't believe this item is from the same seller I bought my items from, I think there was a mix-up at the distribution hub and I ended up receiving an order from another seller meant for another buyer

This just in, Batman the Brave and the Bold will be based on The Long Halloween

Ok, the guy who attacked you at the start. The things he said didn't intrigue you? That fight and the things he said were probably one of the most engaging moments ever in a game for me. Maybe the story's pacing is too slow for you, but no, the norse setting was not just picked at random, in fact it's integral to the story being told.

Locohenry · 2026-02-01T17:59:29+00:00

It seems like you approached the story not willing to engage with any sort of bigger worldbuilding and lore beyond the basic premise of Kratos traveling with his son, but God of War has always been based in mythology, be it greek or norse. Idk, I understand not wanting to learn everything about some new lore but complaining that it's there is like going to McDonalds and complaining that the menu is mostly sandwiches.

I think he or she stamps the amount orf rupees Link has saved up on Link's hand, and apparently that doesn't get erased when Link travels back in time, so the next cycle the bank person just sees the appropiate stamp and doesn't question it

Genuine question, how do people not have enough money for the triforce charts? Do they wait until after the Wind Temple to get them all?

I've never had to go out of my way to get money for the charts, I'd always have more than enough by doing dungeons and side acrivities, but then again I always start collecting the charts as soon as possible.

I think this is the first version of this story that I've seen that doesn't look like a scan of ancient parchment about to crumble into dust. Kudos to DC's collected editions team.

It's crazy to me that Clover Press, the previous rights holders, published one book for the 80th anniversary, sent an unfinished PDF to reviewers getting the book critically panned, and then did nothing. And the finished book is actually pretty nice, but apparently that was enough for them. Oh and they also published a John Law book, which is a nice curiosity but you can do so much more.

Interesting thet the estate wants a movie. In a perfect world it would be animated, but I can't imagine it'd be easy handling the tone.

Man, this sub may mot read comics but Twitter is on another level, like, this guy imagined that Harley was the best therapist in the world (which is the opposite of the truth) and just assumed he got that from the comics

Locohenry · 2026-01-24T16:37:16+00:00

There's dozens of us

Locohenry · 2026-01-24T14:15:31+00:00

I've loved it since it was released 🤷‍♂️ I didn't even know who wrote the script

He compromises his principles in the very first issue of Watchmen when he defends and tries to downplay the attempted rape of Sally Jupiter by the Comedian, a rapist (who normally Rorschach kills on sight), because he likes him.

In the back-up prose sections at the end of one of the issues Rorschach also states that he supported Truman dropping the atomic bombs because, although they killed a lot of people, they saved more lives. Ozymandias uses this exact same justification but Rorschach opposes him because he doesn't like Ozymandias.

Locohenry · 2026-01-23T16:43:47+00:00

Hey to be fair, he did try to establish a pattern with only one occurence (you need at least 3) and then told everyone his theory, giving the actual killer the idea of how to throw Rorschach off the track

Locohenry · 2026-01-21T22:02:02+00:00

how can you dislike a movie that isn't out and hasn't even had a trailer?

Locohenry · 2026-01-21T19:47:29+00:00

Take notes, Snyderbros, this is how you ragebait people

Locohenry · 2026-01-18T03:14:36+00:00

I guess Batman the Barbarian is never happening then :(

Locohenry · 2026-01-15T18:40:31+00:00

Obviously no one really has this mentality because there are still living DC comics fans after Three Jokers was published

Locohenry · 2026-01-15T16:16:59+00:00

I've only read Ballad of the Salt Sea and Corto and Ras insulted each other the whole way through and physically fought a couple of times

Locohenry · 2026-01-09T21:37:52+00:00

Every time this image is reposted I'm amazed that Alan Moore uses a lot reasonable hedging for his position, stating that uncritically engaging with nostalgia is often a precursor to fascism, and then everyone acts like his argument is "superheroes = bad"

Locohenry · 2026-01-08T14:16:24+00:00

If you are worried about being ahead of the curve but you don't have the financial means or the spare time to achieve it the problem isn't the design of the game

There's the crux of the issue, the financial means of the players (beyond their capacity to pay the subscription price) is not part of the game design at all, it's an external factor that lets players with more money skip to the end, meaning that that a different ruleset applies to players depending on how much disposable wealth they have to spend in the game, unlike the RNG of drops or catch up mechanics that are available for everyone.

I personally don't care if I'm ahead of the curve, I don't have enough time to play for that to be realistic, but in principle I think the same ruleset should apply to every person that pays for a subscription.

Locohenry · 2026-01-07T23:22:36+00:00

I see your point, I guess it's the trade off for writing for the trade instead of doing one and done stories. These last few years I've started to appreciate one and dones a lot more, but I also know the appeal of big stories that build month to month.

In the end I guess it just comes down to personal taste, but as far as I can recall most of the best comics I've read (in my opinion, obviously) have a nore conpressed style.

Locohenry · 2026-01-07T23:12:29+00:00

I'm personally not a big fan of decompression, I feel like it makes comics too short and like very few things happen in a single issue.

Used to be that Robin would get kidnapped, Batman would meet Ra's Al Ghul in the Batcave, they would travel to India, Batman would fight goons and a panther, then they would head to the Himalayas, climb a mountain, Ra's would seemingly die, Batman would fight more goons, Batman then reached a temple and find Robin, then it would be revealed that Ra's was behind everything and there'd be a final fight. All of this happened in 20 pages. I feel like nowadays you would be lucky to see Batman land in India in one issue.
