yay, it's the kinda thing you're either going to love or hate though, it is thoroughly insane

just as long as you don't think about the end of Way's run you should be all good

also coming up: a Smokey and the Bandit inspired Ghost Rider, and the return of the All-New Orb

I've felt like it has its highs and its lows. When Aaron gets full-on crazy grindhouse with it, it's beautiful and nuts, but I felt like it's kind of dragged in the last story. Ketch isn't as quirky a villain as the guys we've had up to this and it killed a lot of the tempo, and the other ghost riders didn't really do anything to differentiate themselves as cool or unique. Still, the proto-voodoo West African Skull Kingdom is the illest **** on earth. Shame it was so short-lived.


And yeah. Smokey and the Bandit GR is going to be great.

more or less hit the nail on the head

but I gotta say, it's amazing how much stuff Aaron has brought in so far, Machete nurses, a hook handed ex cop with a hellfire shotgun, a crazed cannibal, a road filled with zombie ghosts, a religous zealot with the brute strength of a deisel truck, the all new orb, new caretaker, a basquillion new Ghost Riders, anti-rider Ketch, the warriors of the black host, Zadkiel, and the Skull Kingdom of badassedry

so ****ing insane

What does everyone think of the Luna Bros.?

Ultra's okay but I don't think there's much to it.

However, I finished Girls last night and it was damn good. They use the idea of the small, isolated town being overrun by naked alien women to explore sexuality and how it effects us and they provide a new take on the battle of the sexes.

It's an exciting read and I recommend it. I can't wait to read The Sword now.

Meh. They did the Spider-Woman mini Bendis wrote and it wasn't anything spectacular.

That's because they didn't write it. Their original projects are good.

I don't know what I gotta do to get you guys reading the Luna Brothers' Sword...but you guys need to start.


Also, this comic is begging for a show on FX.

I intend to but I will probably wait until it's finished so I can read it all at once, like I did with Ultra and Girls.

The Losers is pretty badass. Diggle/Jock make a great team. I need to read the rest.

Bought the first volume when I bought you that OGN I sent you for the baby care package.

It was very good.

Whoa whoa whoa -

YOU sent a baby care package?!

YOU?!?!

I guess you aren't a closet baby lover any more. You're TOTALLY out of that closet. Wow.
 
Re: The All About Comics Thread 4: Gemini Is Reading Watchmen?!

I finished Black Hole by Charles Burns last night. Sex, drugs and sexually transmitted diseases that cause mutations. Pretty crazy but a good read.

I know Moonmaster has read it. Anyone else?

One of the items of the package?

Condoms. So it wouldn't happen again.

Things progressed in that manner from there on.

Sent another one today, which included tips on how not to hold the baby, and a fashion statement.
