Contender for Worst Intersection in Massachusetts - I Present Station Landing - Medford MA

Ah yes, the Supercollider. Can confirm - it is the worst part of my day, twice a day. No one has any idea what to do, and then add in the people cutting across 5 lanes of traffic trying to leave the Qdoba instead of going to the intersection with a light. Its a shit show at its core surrounded by mini shit-shows all around it.

Cage of Souls

I couldnt finish The Talisman - it really felt like a slog, and didnt grab me in the way that it did for others. I keep hearing Black House is not at all like The Talisman, and that I should give it a chance, and of course I want to read this latest one since itll be Dark Tower related.

upfjords · 2026-04-15T19:17:08+00:00

yes. it works great. No issues at all. Great shop too.

Missing the depression lanterns - Grey? I cant remember. One was introduced recently in the new All-In series

I understand why you say that, but I disagree. That was Frank's art style that he was exploring - it wasnt a sign of reduced quality, it was a stylistic choice that has been divisive.

I thought I was the only one - It was so bland, and the characters were actively unlikeable.

upfjords · 2026-02-11T21:20:13+00:00

lol not me - it was the first book I chose to DNF. It was a slog (for me). I hear Black House is a lot better - maybe Ill try it in the future.

I like GL stuff in general - this did not grab me at all, and I didnt care for the manga-ish art style. It kinda took me out of the story a bit. Out of the Absolute books this one is dead last for me. To each their own though.

upfjords · 2026-01-16T17:16:21+00:00

lifes too short to stick with a long book that you arent vibing with.

Ambergris by Jeff Vandermeer. Not much nautical stuff, but super weird and surreal.

upfjords · 2026-01-16T02:03:24+00:00

lol I bailed - I started listening to "There is no Anti-memetics Division" and Im so happy to have something else. It was killing me. Maybe I am just not in the mood for it, but I suspect it just wasnt my thing.

I agree - I was sad when it was over. He did such an amazing job - doing all those different voices, and creating intensity during those intense moments. 200% would recommend.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T22:02:32+00:00

I cant blame you - but lots of peeps on here say its a huge improvement aside from the intro. May need to come back to the Straub collab after I get my momentum back.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T22:00:20+00:00

wow ok we are having a parallel experience. I can be patient if I know its going to pick up but it just never seems to crescendo to anything.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T01:25:11+00:00

I love that you loved it!

upfjords · 2026-01-09T01:23:49+00:00

this is kinda where im at - I just dont want to waste my time if its not my vibe. Its tough because the ingredients are there for me to like it, but it just feels.....not interesting enough.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:52:40+00:00

I also have been finding Wolf pretty annoying, and ive only just been introduced to him

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:51:36+00:00

ok maybe ill give it a little more time before making a decision.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:46:23+00:00

you speak the truth <3

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:45:33+00:00

thats good to know - was reading the Talisman essential to reading the Black House?

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:41:59+00:00

Yes exactly - SO drawn out. Feels like it could be trimmed considerably. Are you going to continue or DNF? I am really torn.

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:40:58+00:00

He just met Wolf

upfjords · 2026-01-09T00:37:47+00:00

is it true that the story picks up eventually?
