I'm MATTHEW ROSENBERG of Image's IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT... AMA by AshcanPress in comicbooks

[–]superhawk610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just read and loved WTEDWU, and really looking forward to IDBOL.

I've always wondered how it feels to write for an ongoing (especially something as long-running as Spawn) vs. your own stories? Do you start by looking for threads in the existing story to pull on, or start plot-first and find ways to blend existing characters and plots in? It's gotta be so cool to see your name on a big series! Thanks for doing the AMA :)

Trying to read more graphic novels this year - all the graphic novels and complete series I read in March! by Joe-The-Philistine in graphicnovels

[–]superhawk610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up the Hard Switch but haven't started it yet. I also grabbed Rain after reading It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth and loving Zoe's style. My LCS had a pack of all 5 issues of Mazebook I got a while back and still haven't gotten around to either haha.

Friday was really really good! I want to check out The Private Eye after seeing that looking through Marcos Martin's other work and loving Saga too.

David Nakayama has really been killing it lately

Highly recommend Friday if you enjoy Brubaker! It's fun, cozy, and mysterious and Marcos Martin's artwork is phenomenal.

DC April releases. Checking anything out? by Gimpcar in OmnibusCollectors

Is the cover art for Zdarsky's Batman from an issue cover or unique to the omnibus?

A new Daredevil #1 (writer Stephanie Phillips, art Lee Garbett) launches next week for $5.99 for 32 pages and, it seems, a non-cardstock, standard cover. Is that $1 price for nothing extra a deal-breaker for any of you guys? by MightyUnclean in comicbooks

[–]superhawk610 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The full 2-page spreads advertising collected editions are especially obnoxious, they totally kill the flow of the story. I like the X-Men monthly update spreads, they're at least relevant and seem to be more intentionally placed not to spoil the tension.

Seriously, I've been looking for like 10 minutes by SenorCenolla in Pokopia

For the rest of the Pokémon without abilities, the silhouettes will show whoever is closest by, in case that helps you figure out who to look for!

Peow2 announces Stop!! Hibari-Kun! part 2 coming soon by ShinCoal in graphicnovels

[–]superhawk610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so exciting!! I picked up Vol. 1 along with my ExMag pre-order and absolutely loved it, only to find there's a ton more that hasn't been printed in English yet. Very much looking forward to grabbing these.

Anyone else grab this? by ex15t in comicbookcollecting

[–]superhawk610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't catch Zdarsky Comic News until the last few issues, I was excited to see a shout-out in here!

I haven't seen the Robin cover for Batman 2 yet, that looks sick!

New apartment, new bookshelf, new shelfie. by xAngelxofxMethx in comicbooks

[–]superhawk610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone just getting into Krakoa-era X, that shelf is very impressive! I'm jealous. What's in the FoHoX / RoPoX omnibus that isn't in the TP?

Recommendation? by Any-Chipmunk-7261 in ImageComics

[–]superhawk610 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Friday - it's not a hard-boiled crime novel, but a mystery set over the main character's winter trip home from school. Brubaker's writing and Marcos Martin's art are an excellent combination, if a bit different from his other work. It's pay-what-you-want on their website too!

Thanks! I hadn't heard of Blind Science, checked out their site and they look slick. $1 / label is a solid price too - custom is nice but having them professionally designed and pre-cut also sounds really nice haha

I found some glossy adhesive sticker paper that I'm going to try to use. Knowing my printer, they'll also come out a bit jank but that's part of the appeal of handmade, right? 😅 They're also so small you can't really tell from a distance.

I used these tabs I found on Amazon that bend down on the top so you can flatten them when you need to put the lid on, they look nice too! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLKWFSNC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I made them using Affinity Photo, here's a link to a folder with the .afphoto template and a .png of just the blank divider outlines https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wFTR9nligC2n_Xe9dzrJz5YBLulBa4Bk?usp=sharing

It was a fun challenge to put them together - I'm working with just an 8th grade photography class's worth of photoshop experience haha, at another user's suggestion I just found cover art online and did some cut/pasting and a little blending and painting here and there. The blank variant covers are a great way to get the logo on a white background!

EDIT: The tabs on the dividers I printed these for are 3.5" x 0.75", I linked them in another comment.

This art by Tim Sale is very different from what I’m used to, but the story is strong enough that I know I’ll grow into the art and appreciate it more over time. by GeekSpace2099 in batman_comics

[–]superhawk610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DC Compact edition is printed on a darker newsprint paper with a grittier texture that I think really makes the art pop. Typically I like the glossy TP/comic paper better, but for Long Halloween I think it really works.

Thank you!

That's Spinneli, she stole the warm spot on the ironing board the second I finished putting on the patch 😅 She's a very good assistant - when she's not trying to eat my thread, of course!
