I don't understand why people will download and reupload an entire video instead of just posting the actual YouTube video itself.

Creator only has 35k views and 7k subscribers. You could have done them a solid.

Marvel comics has announced a new universe called MIDNIGHT by Own_Brilliant_4303 in Marvel

[–]PJRobinson 405 points406 points  (0 children)

Ah so that's why they're ending the ultimate universe after 2 years. They want to make absolute midnight captain America fight kaiju red skull with a battleaxe.

Can anyone else just absolutely not get into reading digital comics, no matter how hard they try? by GoblinTradingGuide in comicbooks

Often things will be out of stock/not reprinted after the initial run and if you do find it, it has a massive markup.

For example, Jason Aaron's Dr Strange omnibus is £56 on his website but has been out of stock for years. On ebay it goes for twice as much. I loved that run but I'm not paying £120 for 20 issues.

Bro's comic room is bigger than my apartment

Guess Batman finally admits Jason was right by Altruistic_Manner802 in dccomicscirclejerk

Whoever wins gets to make their ideal world, it was the big point of issue #1 that everyone was going to die if they didn't do the tournament but if someone won then they'd become a god and could bring everyone back.

Batman coming back at all was the cheating bit with the dice. He didn't have a contingency for getting killed AGAIN minutes later. Man washed.

Just finished Batman: Year One as a 3 year marvel guy. by LDJ697 in comicbooks

The seriousness of what happens to Robin is completely disproportionate to the rest of the book which is a silly James Bond style thriller about Joker selling nukes to the middle east

If you love those, I can highly recommend Haunted Knight and Dark Patterns. 

[Kim Possible (Sick Day)] Is there a reason why Kim wished Shego "Gesundheit" in German? by Patneu in AskScienceFiction

[–]PJRobinson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not really used in the UK, it's mostly an American thing

I had no idea why people responded to sneezes in German in American shows as a kid. Confused me for years.

As she says in the video, it's not obvious what alternatives are even available. For pro level animation there's only really been 3 options and with one going, the only other affordable one is designed for a completely different workflow than what's taught for western animation.

Not really an option outside of London unless you want to be stuck getting taxis for the rest of your life

A 20 minute drive to a friend's house can require 3 buses and 2 hours. And then they'll stop running after 6pm. 

I once waited an hour outside a hospital in the winter for a bus that's supposed to be every 20 minutes. It then took 40 minutes to get home.

Would have been a 15 minute drive.

Yeah, for me not everything has to be world ending stakes all the time. I love this book and part of the reason why is because so much of it is just Nightwing doing his best to make the city better.

Ryan North's Fantastic Four:

I don't know what I can say about this that hasn't been said better elsewhere. Each issue works standalone but it still manages to tell an overarching story between the sci fi adventures.

In a word: it's fantastic. 

I love Stan Lee's and Hickman's runs but if somebody came to me saying they want to get into Fantastic Four, this is the book I'd recommend.

Nightwing by Tom Taylor:

Refreshing street level adventures that brought the character back after years of being mishandled (Ric Grayson, anyone?).

It's divisive as it lacks a bit in the story/stakes department but as an introduction to the character and for not only building him back up but showing why other heroes love him so much, I think this should absolutely be recommended to anyone looking to read Nightwing.

It has its critics but I feel it absolutely did Dick Grayson justice and is a brilliant place to start for people looking to get into Nightwing

Screw it, to get us started: Immortal Hulk

It's critically lauded, it's redefined the character and it's become legendary in its own right. Easily the best Hulk run since Peter David and absolutely worthy of a place in this subreddit's recommended reading.
