     I pity the fool who'll go into this book expecting standard post-apoc stuff. I ain't a squimish guy when it comes to books (movies are a whole 'nother matter), but Crossed is one of the few things I can't read. I kinda appreciate the whole social satire part, and I'd like to make it through the Moore issues some day, but man, does this comic feel like a snuff film in print form.

     

    That's EXACTLY what it is.  I could never describe the series in so few words.  Ya man...the most most squeamish read of the whole series was definitely Psychopath.  The webcomic Wish You Were Here has a nice slow burn to it too and I would say that's probably my favorite of the series.  I read all 100 issues of Badlands, but only remember one Arc at the moment about a comic book writer held prison in a local comic book store, but ya plenty of neat short stories there.

    I tried reading Moore's Crossed 100 years after (or whatever it's called)...I am not smart enough or patient enough (or more likely both) to get through the dialogue which has this weird future update to it.  I get that in 100 years we won't be talking with our current syntax, but ya I got tired of it quickly and quit 2 or 3 issues in.

  2. It might be too gruesome, but maybe minimates could do a Crossed minimates line.  It's a super sadistic comic (max zombies is almost at that level of gore, savageness, but the Crossed are more extreme).  The original run, webcomic, and psychopath series were all addictive reads.  Badlands is a 100 issue series that just finished and the stories were hit or miss but I appreciate complete story arcs being told (or being attempted to be told) in 3 or 4 issues.

  3. I still need to play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 on my xbox360.  I bought it used for $25 thinking the girlfriend would want to play it.  Then she complains about how I'm supposed to let her win lol.  Not enough hours in the day!

    For people who are worried about the lack of Fox characters, the guy who initially leaked the existence of MvCI has said that they won't be on the base game but they're a 'done deal' for DLC.

    Wolverine has got to be in the basic game though right?  He's been a staple in the series as far as I can remember.

    I would love some official Stranger Things Mates! I actually painted an Eleven and made Dustin's hat this weekend. The rest of the kids were pieces thrown together. Going to add the bandana to Lucas and maybe change up Mike's outfit. 

    I would want them to add Barbara and Steve with busted face, too.

    great eleven face

    I had sticker shock when I saw how much McFarlane's Saga 2-pack was going for at my LCS. And the owner usually prices toys low so they'll move. We might not be able to afford Saga Minimates if the licensing fees are so high they demand such a retail price.

    ya I think it was almost $100 Canadian where I saw it.  Most statues cost that much so maybe it isn't licensing fees but them just pricing it at comparative costs.

    Yeah, I had to get those, too.

    I didn't even realize Saga was Skybound. Not sure if it has been discussed. I imagine if Diamond Comics saw a demand they'd ask us about it, but the licenses I'm talking about are a little more mainstream. I imagine knowing the book has an end date puts a bit of a damper on things, as well.

    Saga mates would be amazing! Although that's probably what they said about invincible too, my first mates ever.  Ever since, I've been hooked on other mates, so maybe you can fish out other fringe collectors even if Saga mates might perform similarly to invincible.

  7. Thankful for my patient wife that puts up with my hobbies and to have a happy 2 year old that doesn't get too jealous when I'm playing with my mates in my den.

    It's been up since the the first week of November. 

     

    Eat lots! Get that sweet savory mix going with that protein, cranberry, gravy in every bite.  My wife made an awesome turkey ilast month (Canada's T-day is the first Monday of October).  We used 3/4 stick of butter and the veggies were drenched in it.  It was amazing!

    I am not aware of any plans to bring Marvel to Hot Topic. Maybe they have that brand covered already with other products. Not sure what the future holds, but the Marvel line is getting pretty good exposure elsewhere.

    Well that's a shame. I know Canada is a much more limited market, but we don't even have minimates at our Toys R Us's...obviously no walmarts here.  We just had Hot Topics open up in the last year or two and I've seen the minimates there.  Anyways thanks for the reply! I just wish these things were everywhere like those funko pops

  9. I'll probably buy the Rorschach vini...but the best one would be mates.  Medicom Kubrick did come out with a VERY VERY NICE SET though and they're really cheap on ebay.  Bought those and I'm actually keeping them in box.  I actually bought from the Monopolist of minimates on ebay...minimates menageries.

  10. Hope that you guys are somehow able to sell those marvel blind bags at Hot Topic.  I heard that those Nightmare before Christmas's did well.  It would be great exposure for the marvel line and minimates in general.  It may seem crowded with the other dozen or so bling bag minifigure type toys at hot topic, but Marvel would stand out so Minimates will stand out.  Thanks!
