I can't jusify paying a full physical issue price for a digital copy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706784150919626673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-46911827412312864302010-10-13T10:38:10.070-04:002010-10-13T10:38:10.070-04:00I would say number two, as our community is natura...I would say number two, as our community is naturally drawn to hyperbole. <br /><br />However, in this case, go check out their work - if you like children's book art and cold color schemes, you will agree. <br /><br />As for number one, it totally is cleansing - in terms of it is way easier to cleanse one's house without dozens of longboxes taking up all the closet space. A few years ago I sold five longboxes worth of back issues and donated three more to Goodwill - a decision that those marvel DVD collections of old Avengers/FF issues helped make easier. That said, it's a totally different experience without some sort of tactile reader device, and I don't yet have an ipad, so that's a ways off in my case.<br /><br />As for number three, I think this needs further exploration, and I've got some ideas for the show.aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-45230505508874193932010-10-13T10:25:22.662-04:002010-10-13T10:25:22.662-04:00Respect- Stan Lee.Respect- Stan Lee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-7152110555453263802010-10-13T10:15:22.013-04:002010-10-13T10:15:22.013-04:00Which do you think is a bigger trend in the comic ...Which do you think is a bigger trend in the comic community?<br /><br />1.

It was one of the issues she covered in her memoir during the arc that introduced Veronica Cale/the book tour. It makes sense given that she talks to animals...<br /><br />I had the opposite reaction the anime folks, but that may be because most of the bottle-necking on the floor I encountered was from vaguely spacey kids in manga costumes listlessly wandering around and sitting in the center of the aisles.Patricionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-85570136738817678852010-10-12T20:43:23.904-04:002010-10-12T20:43:23.904-04:00Would Tony Chu be considered vegetarian?

She was Ma Hunkle and he was a Green Lantern, but he had a puppet of Ch'P with him which was pretty cool.<br /><br />I wish I'd made it to this con. The problem is I forget what a big deal it is until the week of the show and everyone on their blogs talks about how excite they are about it.<br /><br />Cover of the Week<br /><br />Aaron- I also hate having my picture taken, but it's good to have a nice one taken once every few years. That way if you suddenly go missing the missing person posters will have a nice photo on them instead of having to use the picture on your license.<br /><br />Oh, and THE BOYS was awesome this week. <br /><br />Evie- Unrelated to the show at all, but you recently popped up as one of my "Friend Suggestions" (or whatever they call it) on Facebook.

You made a comment that something must happen to one of the polar bear siblings, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.<br /><br />If the book was called "The Last Polar Bear" THEN I would agree you had something to worry about, but couldn't the brother and sister in fact be the "Last of the Polar Bears?"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320830158724015492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-54403878638500457972010-10-12T09:18:01.805-04:002010-10-12T09:18:01.805-04:00Mudkips, however, want nothing whatsoever to do wi...Mudkips, however, want nothing whatsoever to do with me.aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-13502344943426635182010-10-12T07:26:58.795-04:002010-10-12T07:26:58.795-04:00Hey, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on t...Hey, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Con, seeing what you guys were up to.
