1) You dont need to argue that BB is tapping into Lovecraft, they should practically put his name in the credits.
Here’s the thing. Berserk is fantastic. It is more than worth reading. It’s certainly one of the 5 best manga ever made, IMO. It’s part high fantasy, part Lovecraft, part Clive Barker, and a bunch of other things, and all of it put together is so, so, so good.
Every chapter worth it, there’s nothing comparable out there. But all these breaks feel unsatisfying. Let’s hope it runs more than a few months this time.
I don’t care if this is ever finished. Best manga ever.
...and promptly leaving next month on another 6 month hiatus.
The Constitution should be read as written, not interpreted to mean what we want in today’s day.
The A in “Amoral Majority” is silent.
“It’s not the racism and belligerence that bothers me, it’s the boorish way he expressed it. How gauche!”
Nah, man. This shit started with Reagan. Or probably even Nixon. Any Republican trying to pull off an argument that says Republicans lost their moral compass in the past couple years is being very disingenuous.
It was never about the social issues for the GOP. They have always been the party of big business. Back after the Civil War big business wanted a strong government to set up laws and courts in the west to facilitate growth and make it easier to do business. Then they need the government to set up a banking system.…
This IS the conservative party as it’s always been, just with the thin veneer of respectability stripped away. There is nothing unusual about this incarnation of conservatism. At all. It’s always been racist, classist, queerphobic, and religious in all the wrong ways.
Token conservative here. I am absolutely appalled how the Republican party has sold it’s soul over the past year.
I don’t know why conservatives feel the need to tell us this... but in my opinion you guys sold your soul a long time ago during the time you are proud to support so I don’t really give a shit what you think and no I won’t forgive you or let you off the hook for the current climate you helped create.
I don’t mean to be a pedant, but this has been coming for much longer than a year. It probably started when our country elected an extremely intelligent, charming, young senator. The problem is that he was born in Kenya, I mean Ethiopia. And he’s definitely a covert for ISIS because his name is ostensibly…
The Republican Party sold its soul a hell of a lot longer ago than 2016.
This was my concern, too, but it’s about becoming rejection-proof by *accepting* rejections as a part of life, not rejecting rejections.
Providence does to Lovecraft what Watchmen does to superheroes.
It’s a fakken masterpiece.
“Funnily enough, that is one of the most unpleasant things I have ever written. It was just at the time when I finally parted company with DC Comics over something dreadful that happened around the Watchmen film. Kevin [O’Neill] and I found that we were having some hiccups in our payments, after storming out of…
Yes, I see that, although mostly it left me with a lingering dread.
