Yeah. Can’t get on. Double post all the time. Slow as hell. It comes and goes.

Same. It's not a constant thing, but happens a few times a day at random. And I can't do poop when it happens.

Do we have an Abruzzee prospect at Harvard?

He just scored.

Edit: nevermind, MiB's list came in handy for something. He's #5

My favourites might not be what you're looking for. What kind of stories do you like most? Adventure, comedy, action, horror, gore, martial arts, school life, sports, great world building, or straight up fights with minimal plot?

And I read online. I've got a few free sites that I read on. My brother has some volumes that I read sometimes, too.

I'm manga only, really. But I do love Spider-Man.

EDIT: I can try to give you some stories from a category you'll like.

Let's see...horror, science fiction, action...if it helps any, in the world of comics I was an X-Men guy...the social/political side...also like cyberpunk and kung fu

Tablets seem like such a great format for graphic novels, as e-readers are for books

It's the most unusable site I'm on by far these days.

I'll send you a PM about this.

It turned out longer than I thought it'd be.

what are you fave manga of all time
what do you read manga on, paper or a device and which one
do you also read other comics and graphic novels

I ask this because I'm thinking of getting a tablet and getting back into comics


- Zezel

You didn't ask me, but I'm weighing in anyway and you're powerless to stop me!

Manga:

1. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (by Hayao Miyazaki)

- the film version is good but the manga is on another level. Influenced by French comics, this is Miyazaki's true opus.

2. Lone Wolf and Cub (by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima)

- 28 volumes and I wish it was longer. A former executioner of the Emperor now ronin, framed and disgraced, wandering Japan with a baby in a cart.

3. Akira (by Katsuhiro Otomo)

- the film doesn't make a lick of sense because Otomo hadn't finished the manga before it was released.

Medium:

Nothing beats the feel of paper in hand. Accept no substitute!

Comics:

Too many to list, but here's a few outstanding selections:

- Blankets (by Craig Thompson)
- Transmetropolitan (by Warren Ellis)
- Private Eye (by Brian K. Vaughan)
- Dark Knight Returns, Ronin, and Sin City (by Frank Miller)
- Watchmen, From Hell, and V for Vendetta (by Alan Moore)
- Anything by Jack Kirby (I recently just picked up hard cover omnibus versions of Eternals and Fourth World)

I could go on and on. 🤓

What the (frank) is the difference between anime and manga?

Is manga the one people jerk off to?

Nah. Manga is comics and anime is cartoons.

Cool, thanks man! I love Dark Knight Returns and Sin city and the Alan Moore stuff, so I'm interested in your other recommendations. I loved Frank Miller's run on Daredevil too.

My favourite was always Matt Wagner's Grendel which I felt was criminally obscure. But now I see they are making a Netflix adaptation of that which I can't wait to see.

I think the end is nigh for either Ritchie or Mikky.

Doubt Ritchie goes anywhere. They signed him and he is just starting to do something finally here so thinking they will ride him out some more. I think Engvall and Mik are both to be considered there honestly.

Be interesting to see what Dubas does. Maybe package those two with a d man and bring back a D? Who knows.

Going to be interesting.

Ritchie looks very sound defensively. Which is a good thing.

Just takes a while to learn our "intrigue " system.

Mikky can take a hike, the team hasnt missed him one bit.

$44 million is steep for Matz, St Louis management is pretty good though. Many talk about how much Tampa does with so little, St Louis is the most successful franchise in MLB next to the Yankees and they do it without spending big.

Probably right about Ritchie. His cap hit likely means they can't move him and give him the year to try to earn something in the top 6. If not I still think he's gonzo at year end. They can't afford 2.5 on the 4th line ...and probably not on the 3rd line.
