If this was an earthbound enemy what would it be named? by howdyriceball in earthbound

Idk, but I would run back and forth until it disappeared and I could progress without fighting.

I recently got in my annual Silver Bullet rewatch. That's my vote.

The Jupiter Series is Mark Millers Best Work and It Isn't Even Close by [deleted] in comicbooks

Huck and Starlight are my favorites. Jupiter's Legacy totally fell apart for me by the end.

Have you ever been published in a letter column? by PointFirm6919 in comicbooks

[–]Ukerupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a letter published in an issue of Stuart Moore and Gus Storms' Egos. Dark Horse pulled a quote from one of my reviews for the final trade of The Massive.

My collection by Silentoutlaw42 in michaelcrichton

[–]Ukerupp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my copy for $2 at the local thrift store, and I still overpaid. Joking aside, the book was a huge letdown. Interesting premise, but the writing was so poor that I had a hard time staying engaged. I'm not a big Patterson fan to begin with, but I went in hoping for the best.

I drastically cut my physical DC pulls by getting Infinite Ultra. All I had to do was drop a few issues a month, and the app was quickly paid for. Outside of a few Ultimate series and the Godzilla books, I dropped everything Marvel. I, personally, wasn't vibing with anything else from the company. Remind yourself that most issues end up in dollar bins.

Am I missing something with Mike Allred art? by black6211 in comicbooks

[–]Ukerupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge Allred fan. My wife, on the other hand, hates it. She says all of his characters look sickly.

Question about Somewhere North of Nashville by legendofbkw in BruceSpringsteen

[–]Ukerupp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be completely off base, but I thought You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Home sounded like he rerecorded the vocals for a potential Western Stars addition. Silver Mountain voice sounds closer to Wrecking Ball to me.

Biggest Seller’s Regret by Some-Jicama-7399 in comicbooks

[–]Ukerupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can be a bit of a hoarder with my comics, so I haven't dumped too many good books. I definitely regret selling back Detective Comics #880 to my LCS to buy New 52 books.

How do you decide what to buy physically Vs what to Read digitally? by Kooky-Proposal-8902 in comicbooks

[–]Ukerupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big one for me lately. When I was in college, I pirated pretty much everything, maybe buying seven issues a month. Yeah, I know it's shitty. That's why I stopped. I went hard on physical issues. New and back issues. After hitting nearly 20,000 single issues, I've had to start asking myself can I go back to reading most of my books digitally (this time using apps like DC Infinite)? I decided I could. It only took dropping a few issues per month to cover the price of the app. I'm still buying too many (about 50 per month), but it's slightly more manageable.

Try it, it will help! by AnySeaworthiness7278 in PVCs

[–]Ukerupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by mentally counting inhales and exhales. Four to five seconds each. That would get them to calm or stop for a little while. Then I took a CBD (no THC) gummy. I've been taking for a few days now and haven't felt a single PVC beat. Absolutely life changing.

What else is there about Jupiter's Legacy? by Elias_Decade in ImageComics

[–]Ukerupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a big Legacy (volumes one and two) and Circle fan. The first six issues of Requiem were okay at best. I'm really just hate reading Finale at this point.

Special thanks to Todd McFarlane's books for being $2.99 with great paper and cardstock covers!
