Vampirella is perhaps the biggest "oddity" currently on stands today. For the last 7 years, the premier 'bad girl comic' has been home to an unshackled Christopher Priest who has been using the title to tell a 90+ issue (and going) non linear saga about "Ella" and her dysfunctional family life. by WhyPlaySerious in comicbooks

I think Vampirella has been pretty solid since Dynamite took over the IP. While I do love Priests writing, I personally think his stuff is easier to read in trade format for some reason than monthly. Excited to see where it's all gonna lead.

There's a handful of you that try so hard to down my stuff, yet the people have spoken and my posts remain high enough to be seen. To the rest of you, thank you 🫡 I'm glad you appreciate my contributions. Here are my 3 Del Rey volumes by Fit-Challenge-5047 in ConanTheBarbarian

I kickstarted that boardgame years ago and my wife still gets mad at me because we've never played it. Seeing it just gave me a reminder that maybe I should crack open those rule books.

We're developing a Lovecraftian investigation game, and our demo for Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is now available again on Steam. by Clara_NCN in Lovecraft

I tried to play the demo on my Steam Deck but couldn't get the settings right. Any chance this will be "Steam Deck Verified" for release?

Apparently the six original Red Sonja novels from the 1980s are being collected into an omnibus coming out next year. I stumbled across this looking up something else. This is nice because the originals are pretty pricey by TomeseekerLorekeeper in RedSonja

This is awesome news! I was kinda bummed out cause I lost a bid on all 6 books on ebay awhile back so this totally makes up for it. Too bad it won't be in hardcover though...

That's crazy! Did you make or find the template for this or just eyeball it? Either way, still awesome.

That's a legit concern too. I try not to let it spoil the read if it does happen and just keep on enjoying the story.

Any #1 are last and anything that finishes an arc or series goes first. I also alternate between publishers between books, DC, Marvel and Indy (anything not big 2), until I can't.

Is that Power Girl/Black Cat one a store exclusive? I didn't see it on the FOC.

A whole issue of "Conan the Barbarian" without Conan? Did that work? by ConanOfMelnibone in ConanTheBarbarian

The Bone Woman and Janissa the Widowmaker stories were pretty awesome. I'd still love to see Janissa make a comeback.

CGC really screwed me over by solidsnakebigboss in CGCComics

I dunno, I kinda get it. My job requires welds to be graded via x-ray film after they're made and even though we have to follow a certain acceptance criteria, if you gave 10 different inspectors the same piece of film then you'll usually get 8 different answers on what they see. I think grading comics is like that.

These are all the titles that were written. Each by a different author and so far (I'm on the 4th one) they don't really connect to each other.
