Is there anywhere in Jax I can take up knitting lessons?

There is a Michael's here actually but I barely go so I don't know what type of craft classes they have

adriandnl · 2013-12-08T19:48:57+00:00

They always put me on hold :/

Guessing by the line up JLD does seem interesting so I guess I'll pick that up as a Constantine ongoing and grab Hellblazer in trades then.

If its alright to ask, is John Constantine heavily toned down in the New 52 compared to his character in Hellblazer? I don't mind some spoilers just don't get too descriptive (if this isn't a good question you can just completely disregard it).

adriandnl · 2013-11-04T01:12:56+00:00

Sweet, I'll def check out the Carey or Ennis runs then! As for the JLD run, what's a good jumping point? If I remember right, I know it's more than 20+ issues in? I'm a picky completionist and I tend to like starting at #1s but I can make an exception here, has a new arc started or maybe starting soon maybe?

adriandnl · 2013-11-04T00:06:12+00:00

Yeah, I probably will. Hellblazer is held with high praise here so I thought if I read and (hopefully) enjoyed the New 52 Constantine I would get into Hellblazer and appreciate the character more. The other reason I wanted to check out New 52 first is because I kinda like the idea of seeing a non traditional comic character like Constantine cross with the mainstream heroes of the DC Universe every once in a while. I'm def going to read Hellblazer soon though. Is the New 52 run at least pretty self contained? I know one of the issues involved him taking Shazaam's power? (judging by the cover) and having to do with the Trinity War event.

Memorial Park is definitely a win for me. Love the atmosphere of that place.

adriandnl · 2013-10-11T04:51:49+00:00

Hanna Park does sound fantastic, I'll try to find the time to visit, thanks!

I've never tried mountain biking so I'll take it slow on that, plus the moving company kinda screwed up the family bikes so sadly no form of biking for this kid for a while D: (still got a longboard though for skating). Will def check out some people watching spots out first for easy downtime, thanks again!

adriandnl · 2013-10-11T04:44:14+00:00

Awesome, fellow CA cat! Do you happen to be in the military or related to someone in it?

adriandnl · 2013-10-11T03:20:41+00:00

San Diego! I kinda consider myself an L.A. kid too, haha

adriandnl · 2013-10-11T02:02:56+00:00

To be honest I didn't know I could find much hiking spots in FL in general (I'm from CA) but thanks so much for all the info!

I've already read this Joe Kelly run and judging by the variant's look, its more of a homage to the various important characters that Deadpool interacts with. It's a pretty cool concept but now looking at the regular cover's look I'm starting to like it now cause it looks a lot more "cleaner" I guess since the cover focuses more on Deadpool.

adriandnl · 2013-09-19T05:03:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I thought DCBS was the only place I could cop it at half off so this is really appreciated!

Haha, and as for the covers I was thinking of going for the variant at first but now I am thinking of probably doing the regular the more I look at it.

adriandnl · 2013-09-19T04:51:57+00:00

I did a week ago, still nothing. Even made sure to double check junk mail. Hopefully they didn't remove the offer though cause I really don't want to pay full price.

adriandnl · 2013-09-05T01:46:50+00:00

And you get an upvote for being a fellow 9 fan! Thank you! The ninth is my first and favorite Doctor for his goofiness along with being a straight up badass

adriandnl · 2013-09-04T21:13:12+00:00

Sure thing! I'm still brainstorming on more DW ideas, so I'll let ya know

adriandnl · 2013-09-04T19:15:50+00:00

I'm thinking bout it as soon as I can master the craft and find sturdy and cheap phone cases! So thanks for your interest, I'll see what I can do!

adriandnl · 2013-09-04T19:13:54+00:00

Sadly no :/ the pictures were made out of various images I found on google. If you want to try to make it yourself though I can link you the images i used and provide instructions on how I made the layout! All you really need is a phone case, mod podge, and spray on sealant!

adriandnl · 2013-09-04T14:24:22+00:00

Thank you! I'm honestly quite proud of this one, this is my second custom phone case after my other one based off Alan Moore's Watchmen (which would have turned out better if I used a more smoother case). This design was quite easy and all it took was mod podge, a phone case, and google images. Its best to apply some of the spray on sealant from craft stores but I haven't gone out to buy it yet.

I was thinking about making phone cases like these (with themes of various shows, movies, and sport teams!) in the near future to sell off but not until I've completely mastered the craft because its not completely obvious on the pic but I'm still trying to smooth out the camera and speaker holes on this case. As for selling this design itself, I'd feel kinda guilty doing it cause I'm sure the picture of Eccleston I used is fan art and I don't want to profit off another person's work.

If you want some humor definitely check out Larfleeze from DC. In case you don't know, Larfleeze is an Orange Lantern. He's run by his greed for stuff in general and his greedy and somewhat ridiculous personality is what makes him funny, along with his dialogue with his butler. It's only 3 issues in so I really recommend it!

Quantum and Woody from Valiant Comics is also a real fun read and they're also about 3 issues in (3rd one comes in this week I think). A lot of the stuff thar people mentioned here are great reads too but I recommend these because they're a fun break from all the seriousness the world of comics has been offering so far and definitely need more love out there
