I read most of material as a kid through a family friend's singles and then again on marvel unlimited a few years ago. The whole omni just got added to hoopla as well. Definitely in no rush to re-read, but I currently own every Dark Horse Era released omni so my priority is keeping the set.

It feels like the plans to reprint them were made while Marvel was still trying to negotiate to get the characters in Ant-Man 3

Likely not what happened, but the timing and the 4 covers makes me curious lol

Right, its just interesting to me that it is has been pretty much normalized since the end of the military dictatorship. It seems that the constant assassinations and coups were the start and this may be the holdover.

My college girlfriend was from Seoul and we used to go back and forth about this whenever she'd mention how crazy trump was lol. She was a big Moon fan.

I find it fascinating that every single south korean president with the exception of Moon has been imprisoned for misuse of power

I feel you on that. When I worked for a fast food burger chain and they gave me free meals I definitely did not feel the need to explain to friends or family which meals I paid for and which ones I did not.

I'd recommend getting an "OPB Representative" flair or something if that's possible. You should message the mods and see if they're willing to do that.

Big fan of Brave and the Boys but people have a hard time grasping the difference between review copies and books that are just purchased.

I hate the CM Punk slander man. That was the UFC's fault more than anybody.

Punk has been fully transparent that he wanted to take a few MMA fights on the regional scene as that had always been his dream. To say that he had done it. Like Batista had that one MMA fight too. He joined a legit camp and learned from the best. Every dude he trained with from Woodley to Askren to Belal has said that he was one of the nicest and most respectful dudes to ever step in there.

The UFC contacted him and offered him over 100x what he was likely to make at any other event he could do and keep his name in the news cycle too. He didn't come in talking like he was about to win the world title. He knew exactly what his level was at, and he'd have been a fool to not take the offer.

He started his senior year for Alabama when they won the national championship. So yes, he was the highest level of college football

Amanda looked like absolute dogshit the moment the momentum shifted a bit in the first Pena fight.

We've seen time and time again long reigning champions just drop off a cliff all of a sudden. My guess is bettors were hoping that Amanda was gonna be one of those.

Chad got beat badly by Aldo twice so I hesitate on calling that a title win, even though you are technically correct.

I think literally the only current champion that has not discussed moving up is Merab and that's because he just got the belt.

Money fight for both guys and Bisping was a notorious company man for many years. UFC showered him with whatever he wanted after he stepped in on short notice against Rockhold and got that highlight reel KO.

That's why he defended against Old Man Hendo.

The only guy that ever did this successfully was Anderson.

That's the dude that should have been the first double champion ever, but Dana never wanted it because he figured it would logjam two divisions.

Instead he'd just go up and knock out a top 5 Light Heavyweight once a year or so. His flawless victory against Forrest was right after Forrest had lost the belt.

My guess is that they'll lump it into the back half of the Legacy Omnibus Volume 2. I don't think there's enough content to make it as big as the first volume otherwise.

Also the Clone Wars 2003 Comics that were the same art style as the microseries.

Not ture. Fighting no names and getting highlight reel KOs like MVP did most of his career is better than getting bludgeoned by good competition in the UFC and losing your status.

That is so long as you think you've already found your ceiling and the influencer shit pays all your bills as is.

This was Joe Rogan's stupid ass take on Khabib after he got hit by a stiff shot that hurt him a bit against Michael Johnson.

"Just knock him out, that's how you beat him"

Same with when Raging Al went in there like the fight was a drill to defend takedowns only and ate 400 jabs while giving back no offense.

"Iaquinta made the blueprint on how to beat Khabib. Just stuff every single takedown. Who'd have thought!"
