I’ve had two. My first completely shit the bed. Wouldn’t play Blu-Rays, wouldn’t detect there was a game in the drive, wouldn’t wake from sleep at times, randomly dimmed the display and wouldn’t come back up without a hard reset, dropped my internet connection (even though it’s hardwired with an ethernet cable) … One…

Can I just take a break from comics now? I think I’m going to take a break from comics now.

YES. The Thanonauts (death travelers). I loved that idea. I also really liked how that tied into the grimoire cards that reference the beginning of the Exo’s sentience. How they all seem to vaguely remember being mindless battle droids and the dark tower where they were manufactured. Dig it.

Oh man, I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this. When the road is empty, I hit every apex I can find, within the speed limit, in my wife’s crappy Malibu. Gotta have some fun on my way home or I get road hypnosis.

Your wife and my wife would be friends.

Maybe if the last time you saw Aquaman was 1970. Since then, he’s had a bit of a facelift.

Zactly.

I am you and you are me. Gamer dads unite.

So many times this. “Um, well, are you asking for my favorite vintage car? Modern? If vintage, do you mean older than 20? 30? 40? 50? American? Japanese? European? One offs? Production? Race? Supercars? Hypercars? Daily drivers? Two seaters? 4? 5? Coupe? Wagon? WHAT ARE YOU ASKING ME? I HAVE FAVORITES IN ALL OF THOSE.”

So, confession time: I dig smoked taillights. I’ve never had it done on my own cars, but I kinda split the difference between wanting to look cool and wanting to not get rear ended. That is to say, if I ever did it, it would be Extremely light. Enough to VERY LIGHTLY tone down the bright colors, not enough to make…

I am NOT crying … No, yeah, I’m totally crying.

“… long after the events of the original trilogy.”

I’m going to be a completely pedantic asshole here, but it’s not a personal diss to you. Cool? Here goes: I don’t think a society that produced thousands of fully artificially intelligent war machines, terraformed Mercury and Venus, discovered super-luminal interplanetary space travel, antigravity, and programable…

Precisely. I get it, popular opinion sells books. I don’t mind changes, I just want them to be a little more subtle and thoughtful. I’m not naive enough to say changing his power set is the issue on its own; his powers have changed drastically roughly every decade or so, and he’s been de-powered before. I just wish…

There’s not much more to say, I completely agree. Though on the xenophobia point, Birthright even nails that quite effectively, without resorting to making me worry that Supes is gonna get shanked by a redneck in an alley. I respect the “overpowered and uninteresting” thing. I get it. I just can’t bring myself to…

Are you me? You talk like me and think like me. Kyle Rayner = best GL? Check. Supes is most interesting when he’s struggling with his own power as opposed to his lack of it? Check. But yeah, for me, I don’t WANT to relate to Superman. That’s not the point IMO. Making him relatable all but ruins him for me. And if it…

I LOVED Ben as Spider-Man. Like, a lot. And to this day his is my favorite Spidey alt costume, closely followed by the Kaine Scarlet Spider costume. Peter obviously is very dear to me, as he should be to any Spidey fan, but Ben was awesome enough that he really stayed with me.

Definitely. I’d actually never read a Valiant comic before I had Scribd, but I ended up binge reading all of the Harbinger stuff they had, which also necessarily got me into Bloodshot. I liked them way more than I thought I would.

Ugh, Locke &Key was spectacular. It got a little silly at some points, but that wasn’t always necessarily a bad thing. For sure one of the most original comics I’d read in quite a while at the time.

It really is a bummer. I don’t even need access to their whole catalog. I’d even be happy with something like Scribd, where other companies like Marvel, IDW, and Dynamite have all made deals and put up some really cool stuff (kind of like a “best of” collection rather than the whole back log), and you’d be able to…
