The Comic Books and Comic Book movies thread



If by boycotting you mean not reading their books, I've already been doing that. I'm not trying to be mean about it, my comic book habit would just be too expensive if I started reading regularly again. But I do take a peek now and then.

I must admit it will be interesting to see where this Lobo thing goes, but unfortunately for reasons outside of the book itself.
 
I want another Hex that's what! And not with the type of artwork the last one had. Dunno, Truman took the day off on the last series compared to the first two.

There's a Hex book being published right now. I hear it's good, but I haven't read much of it. What I did read, by the same team years ago, didn't really do much for me.

The same team with Jimmy Palmiotti? I read that series a few years ago, but didn't follow it all the way through. I got lazy and cheap and stopped buying monthlies. I come and go with monthlies. ;)

I wanna win the Powerball Lotto just to make sure that I can buy monthlies till I die. Screw everything else.

And since the Lobo, um, re imagining was brought up, I like to bring up another re-imagined character.

I have some of these issues that I bought from the quarter bin when I was a kid, lol. And it was my first intro to the Hex character. I then read the first Vertigo series in TPB which made a Lansdale fan, and started to buy cheap copies of Weird Western Tales from the seventies.

But my point being, that post apocalyptic Hex didn't last and neither will the new metrosexual Lobo. Just some silly flash in the pan to tell the grandchildren that I won't have.

And I still wanna watch that lame Hex movie.
 
Online graphic novel price war underway

In a statement that could presage future attempts to grab sales from Amazon, Overstock’s CEO Patrick Byrne told The Wall Street Journal, ”We think with the rise in sales volume, we can extract better pricing from publishers. Publishers do want to see more competition for Amazon.” While matching Amazon’s current prices might be a solid first step on Overstock’s plan to carve out more of the online book trade, it is difficult to see how the challenger expects to change the buying habits of Amazon’s customers by simply matching its prices.
