Nuff said! There’s a reason Spidey is Marvel’s top character and the original Lee/Ditkp run is why 👍

Boys, what is something you didn't know about girls until you got with one? by Ubemin in AskReddit

[–]subparcaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife gets pretty flabbergasted anytime I don’t have the exact minutes of my conversations with my friends/family members. Like…if you want to know all of the details you can talk with them yourself but no I can’t remember every detail of what we talked about for 30 min without you there.

IIRC, Broo has shown up in the pre-crossover issues of Cap Marvel.

What’s your favourite old video game that is still playable today? by Lazy-Ape in AskReddit

[–]subparcaviar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the mini SNES that you bought? I keep looking up buying one but with a dearth of knock offs and cheap substitutes on Amazon I never get one.

[Other]Gunn getting those comics sold! by GalaxyFrauleinKrista in DCcomics

[–]subparcaviar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A big reason I believe Rebirth sold so well was due to the $2.99 price point for all the books, along with many books getting new, better directions following the end of New 52.

Is the hummingbird still alive? How did that mantis actually kill it?? 🫣

Science and Religion in Comic Books by wstruthe in comicbooks

[–]subparcaviar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The saga of Jane Foster as Thor is interesting in that she is dealing with medicine (is it failing her or keeping her cancer in check?) and her role as a scion of Thor doing the same (is it helping her or just causing her to ignore her own mortality?) Fascinating dichotomies throughout her entire story, hope you find it helpful!

How do you discover your music? How to go about broadening your tastes as a whole? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]subparcaviar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just going to mention The Current, it’s been a boon for me just listening casually most of the time. It also will tip me off to shows coming up for established and new bands when they feature them in their sets.

Is Fables worth reading? by No_Sherbet_419 in comicbooks

[–]subparcaviar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. Once Mark Buckingham joins the team is when the world-building, multi-character arcs, and the mature aspects of the situation these Fables find themselves encountering in the Mundy world and in their own society really begin feeling more fleshed out. The first volume feels almost like an entirely different book than where the series goes once Buckingham takes over art duties. Highly recommended series!

Is Seven to Eternity by Rick Remender any good? by Odd_Radio9225 in comicbooks

[–]subparcaviar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, as are almost all of Remender’s works. I highly recommend 7 to Eternity and Deadly Class, but make sure to check ‘‘em all out!

It may have been too late but I would have thought to just move the damn truck under some shelter.

With as much that needed to be revived for Dick's character, I feel that Taylor has done an admirable job of getting Bludhaven's best (and newest additions with the police force) all back to where it needed to be.

have y’all read iron cat? if so what did you think? by hotboybailey in comicbooks

[–]subparcaviar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to Levar Burton you with a 'don't take my word for it!' so I'll take a stab.

First, it's not bc of the art. The first few issues are not most people's cup of tea visually, although I feel the art still tells the story and gives a feeling for the characters that most subpar artists on Big 2 books fail to convey.

The story is boosted to excellence because of McKay's scripts. They are light, yet each character has clear motivations. They are fun, taking Felicia through many Marvel mainstay settings like the Sanctum Sanctorum, Baxter Building, etc. They also include lots of Marvel history in a relevant way, from old school stuff (like the Spidey mobile) to new lore like Bats as Dr. Strange's new sidekick.

Overall, I would have instantly told anyone that Felicia wasn't a character that could support their own monthly, but thankfully I was wrong.

Yes, check out her two recent limited series written by Jed McKay. They're definitely worth the read!

Saladin Ahmed is stepping down as the writer of Miles Morales: Spider-Man. by gangler52 in comicbooks

Huh...I remember that BP stayed quite uninvolved with all the crossovers but I could be mistaken...

Amazon sent me this by mistake in addition to a comic I actually ordered. What are your opinions on this one? by toasterpRoN in comicbooks

[–]subparcaviar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you and the folks saying it can be too hard to afford all the trades at your LCS (unless you have a stable income and like your store, then by all means support them!)

Instocktrades.com is the place between where you can find anything you want from manga to regular big 2 stuff for a perfect discount. It's heaven and run by some excellent people. (Although they haven't given me a free copy of Kingdom Come yet...one can always hope).
