Hmm, OK, you've got my attention now.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
Just read through Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #1 earlier tonight, it was fantastic. Got a busy weekend already planned but I'm sure I'll burn through #2, 3, & 4 soon enough.
Been reading through that IDW Transformers Humble Bundle I picked up some over the last month or so, some of it has been pretty good, other parts kind of blah. Lots more issues to go through. |

I need to check out that Ghost Rider. Would love to see more GR characters in C3G.
Been trying to get through Rogue Trooper. There are a lot more issues than I remember. Fun read. Rogue is a really interesting character and develops depth way faster than Dredd. |

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
Just enjoyed the Sixth Library Edition of Avatar the Last Airbender. These are long comic trilogies, about 200 pages each in their large hardback editions, that are available at Barnes & Noble among other sources. They continue the story of the original animations, starting only seconds from the last episode's finale.
All are excellent. The last has a new writer and artist who kept the standards up from both the animation and the first five comic volumes, and in fact have now begun to link up the older stories to the coming next generation and to the grandchild generation which is the era of Korra. I was not as impressed by the one library volume of the latter, which is Turf Wars, by yet another creative team, continuing her story from its own animation. They are, in order: The Promise The Rift The Search Smoke and Shadow North and South Imbalance I'd be surprised if any coming redo, live or animation, turns out to be as good as these are. I highly recommend them. The original creators of Konietzko and DiMartino have guided them, and there is a great consistency of the beloved characters, as the society portrayed continues to evolve after The Hundred Years War.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
I'm not sure if it counts more of a graphic novel but I am reading JOKER by Brian Azzarello again and it is such a cool and unique novel. It's through the eyes of a Joker henchman seeing all of the insane things that the Joker does without any remorse or even thought.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
Speaking of YA novels, has anyone read the two about Avatar Kiyoshi? (Avatar: The last Airbender world). I was interested, but didn't spend the money, since they ain't cheap.

Got around to the two Avatar Kyoshi novels, which were fun. She is one possible main character for the third animated show that the new Avatar Studios who are the original creators will be making.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
I've been on a manga kick lately. I began reading online Kazuo Umezz's The Drifting Classroom and enjoyed the first book of the perfect edition enough to purchase the three-book set. Considered a manga horror classic and though it's not without its narrative clunkiness and stumbles, I can see this validation. Enjoyed it very much. At some point, I'll watch the 1987 movie adaptation on Dailymotion*
Picked up Umezz's My Name is Shingo. A gorgeous edition with a story still setting up characters and situations. Hoping book 2 picks up a bit. The 80s-era computer graphics and lettering make it a unique manga. Umezz's Orochi volume 1 also arrived, but I've yet to read this ex-library copy. Last year I read Osamu Tezuka's complete Dororo and fell hard for its story and art - a first in my many attempts with Tezuka's titles. EDIT: Attempted a viewing last night and couldn't last. Its spastic editing and messy narrative is unbearable! Last edited by Hex_Enduction_Hour; April 1st, 2024 at 02:18 PM. |

Orochi Perfect Edition 1 continues my dive into Kazuo Umezz horror manga. Sisters and Bones comprises the two tales in this first of four books. Sparse dialogue and panels keeps the pace brisk and flowing. Readers are dropped directly into the premise of an odd little blonde girl with as-yet unspecified abilities, dabbling in and manipulating strangers' affairs. Both stories resolve with a twist revealing why Orochi is there to leverage some ounce of justice. Horror and oneiric moments are not unlike Dario Argento films Suspiria and Phenomena. I've read Umezz is an influence on Junji Ito and the flair is there, for sure. Books 2, 3, and 4 will be purchased and read at some point.

Re: Comics: what are you currently reading?
I haven't read a lot of horror manga, but one of them is Junji Ito's Uzumaki, which I liked; I might give Sisters and Bones a shot if it's got those same vibes.
I recently reread an old favorite of mine, James Robinson and Paul Smith's The Golden Age: It was originally published as a 4-issue Elseworlds miniseries back in the '90s. It basically started Robinson's long association with DC's WWII-era characters, since he followed the series up with his runs on Starman and Justice Society of America. I've always considered it to be like a more accessible version of Watchmen. Definitely worth checking out for those who haven't. |
