This just arrived. It looks great - giant dimensions, around 300 pages long and full of @danielwarrenart sketches and original art pages from throughout his career. It also has a load of commentary in it which is the kind of thing I love. I'm going to enjoy working through this.
@ZacBeThompson Sherman is nominated twice for Dark Patterns, for Best Penciller/Inker and Best Cover Artist.
Watters should have been nominated too though. It's a fantastic series and it didn't write itself.
@BatmanHypeGuy A spoiler warning on this would have been a nice courtesy for those who haven't yet read the latest issue, which has been out for less than a day.
I'm sure that the moment you are proud of would have landed far more effectively without knowing about it beforehand.
The Amazing Spider-Man by Steve Ditko Artist’s Edition will be available in June! Reserved a copy through your local retailer. Four complete stories, 192 pages, 15 x 22 inches—this one will be legendary! From @Act4Publishing
If the first volume was good, this kicks things up to an insanely high gear. An eight-issue thrill ride that's one of the best superhero stories I've read in years.
This is the rare book that has now made the leap from tradewaiting to my monthly pull: it's just too good to wait.
I kicked off my weekend by reading these two over my morning coffee, and it couldn't have got off to a better start. These are the kind of stories that remind you why you love comics - both totally different but perfect in their own way. Recommended if you haven't tried them yet!
End of Life #1 was a great read. A fun script by @TheKyleStarks that moves quick and is full of laughs and action, with dynamic, bold art from @stevepughcom which tells a story that's visually interesting throughout. I shouldn't have expected any less after Peacemaker Tries Hard.
#RedDwarf fans assemble. Rob Grant's son is trying to get hold of a vintage RD bomber jacket, as sold as official merch in the mid-90s. You know the one, thick wool, leather sleeves. If anyone has one in a size L that they'd be willing to sell, please email [email protected]
Saying one is objectively better than the other is silly either way. There are improvements in the SEs (eg. removal of ugly matte lines and boxes) but mostly, regardless of "quality", the disconnect comes from two different eras of filmmaking awkwardly clashing in the same movie.
"The 90s CGI is jarring"
The poorly composited model shots literally stick out more than the CGI shots. You simply have contempt for one and not for the other. This perception is not rational. It has never been rational. Your entire life has been a lie.
This is a lovely obituary for Rob Grant that perfectly captures his life, his work, and the man himself. The best obituary you will find for Rob and a fitting tribute.
@ganymedetitan@realrobgrant Genuinely heartbroken at hearing this, especially after the recent news of his new novel which makes it all the sadder that he won't be here to enjoy its success.
RIP Rob, and thanks for everything.
