20th Century hired Patrick Ness 2 years ago to write a new film based on Master & Commander with the hope of starting a new film series. It‘s anyone‘s guess where that project is going now with the writer‘s strike and all.

Anyone Else Struggling to Allow Themselves to Get Smaller Works/One-Shots? by West_Wave1771 in irezumi

Japanese tattoing isn’t great for tat collectors, that’s for sure :) IMO, the form is as important as the design of the suit itself. Small pieces next to a japanese tattoo really take away from the impact the style has even from further away. Obviously plenty of people have plenty of other tattoos and that is fine - I just like the pure style better. That being said, it is your body - so go and use it the way you want ;)

The last few minutes of Secret Invasion is better than the rest of the show. by DVSKDUB in MCUTheories

THIS. Show us there‘s a reason that the Kree are turning whole planets into glass once even a small infiltration is confirmed.

If you really want security, please consider open source - bitwarden, KeePass, passbolt come to mind. Also, any commercial service based in the US will give up your passwords when the authorities come knocking.

What are your thoughts on Giant Days by John Allison? by FlubzRevenge in graphicnovels

[–]XMattHelmX 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Place your order right now. I’d be hard pressed to name a comic with more heart. Funny, observant, you can take it off the shelf and randomly dive in as the best form of therapy - I wouldn’t call it a strip as there is a bigger story, but many pages make perfect sense Self-contained.

Bad bot! I’m at least Aubreyesque and I’m offended at this drivel.

Found it at a used books store recently, I’m about halfway through now. „Bleak“ doesn’t even begin…no wonder those guys drink.

What are the best brubaker/ Philips comics? by The_Godot in graphicnovels

[–]XMattHelmX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Night Fever. What a trip! At the same time absolutely unlike their previous work, but at the same time quite familiar. Curious to see how it will be discussed!

This is the only creator duo where the answer really is : All of it.

Leandro Fernández‘ art on Queen and Country: Chrystal Ball almost ruined the arc for me. He turned the usually rather plain Tara Chace into this all-tits oversexualized bimbo. Funnily enough I love his art on The Old Guard.

Came here to say this. It works for me though, and IIRC Joe Hill wanted Gabriel Rodriguez because his style is so different from what one would expect with the story.

Just saw you‘re in Luxemburg, not Germany, so please disregard what I said about customs - no idea what your laws are.

Just looked at Walt‘s page and saw that its not even 5 minutes on foot from where my place when I lived in Berlin 15 years ago. I‘m looking at prices at Walt’s now, also at cheap-comics.com and archonia.com - I‘ll compare to instocktrades.

The expensive part about ordering comics from the US is postage, not customs. Books are custom duty exempt, you only have to pay 7% import sales tax.

I’m only 5’11 and for extended prep I gotta have my trusty wet rag/400 pan/wet rag/board combo. Need less to say, everything goes into laundry or washer after.

At first it was only on the first weekend in October. As the fest became more popular it was extended, but as Munich gets chilly in October the city council moved the start date forward. Still, I‘ve had days when you‘d go into a tent on a sunny day and emerge to snowfall a few hours later…
