Sorry about that.<br /><br />Somewhat close to my home, there's a great comic book store called Pulp Fiction. Comic/Gaming store, to be more precise: you can buy all sorts of gaming stuff there and there's a room where people play Magic: The Gathering, D&D, etc. Anyway, the part of the store I really like is the guy there at the time of week I go. He's not the only one, of course, but he's the one I'm familiar with. He greets me by name and pulls out the comics I want as soon as I walk through the door. He also is polite and is willing to make recommendations based on what you usually buy, but he doesn't push you into buying something. Basically, he's a nice guy who provides better service than I think I ever could. Very different from the jerk in this comic. Oh, also the store is well-maintained. There's another comic store I've walked into that's close to my grandma's house and it was really disorganized and dirty. I don't remember what it was called, but I didn't go again.<br /><br />Literally?! Ugh, every time someone misuses "literally" a disabled child's puppy dies.

I live in the UK, the nearest comic shop is in the next city (a 45 minute train ride I make every 2 weeks or so for other reasons) and I'm mostly a gamer. I don't read many comics. Comics are also my "Not staring at a screen" entertainment.<br /><br />That said, I would go through the hastle and expence of picking up the backlog if I enjoied it, but comics are already expencive so picking them up on a regular basis from abroad is not likely something I'm going to be able to maintain.<br /><br />I am at the comic shop tomorrow. (12 hours from now) I also happen to have enough extra cash for a trade, so I will keep a look out, see if they have anything in the indie section. If they have any, I'll pick some up.<br /><br />As for furries, I don't want to derail the discussion. I'm kind of one too. I hang out with one, and occationally attend the local meet. Unlike you, I don't care about what fetishes people have as long as they are not hurting anyone (unwilling) or forcing it on anyone, and I remember furries being big back in 2005. That said, my issues with furries has to do with the appauling behavior of some of them. Obnoxious behavior is not limited to furries, but the form it takes often plays down to expectations.Sabrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-36170872236049357962012-02-24T19:35:00.262-06:002012-02-24T19:35:00.262-06:00@Sabre:

And all of those issues are available in the AP store.<br /><br />Best part is: FREE SHIPPING IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ON ALL PRODUCTS. So you pay literally the same price you'd pay in the comic shops.<br /><br />I'm a little curious as to which of my comments on furries you disagree with.

Sonic games have been existing almost exclusively on it's own fanbase, which is a sub group of gamers. More obscure stuff like train and farm simulators make tons of money so clearly someone is buying them, so if I had to guess, there is enough furries to sustain a comic. I wasn't aware of it's long history, but had heard of the book before.<br /><br />As for actually reading the book. The theme appeals to me from what I've heard of it, but if the backstory is as dense as you say, that could be an problem. Although even finding the books could be difficult as I don't recall ever seeing them in the comic shop.Sabrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-66483359229022408952012-02-24T00:30:55.890-06:002012-02-24T00:30:55.890-06:00@Sabre:
You really shouldn't be so surprised ...@Sabre:<br /><br />You really shouldn't be so surprised - the comic's been around for 20 years, which requires more than a periphery demographic like furries. Particularly given the furries have only really exploded in popularity in the past five years or so(and even then, a lot of that population explosion consists of sick fucks who're trying to hide their borderline/outright illegal fetishes by hiding behind the furry label rather than being actual furries - they're the reason furries get a bad rap). Bear in mind that while GD's most well-known cast member is the werecheetah Britanny(one of the few characters in comics who has a legitimate justification for wearing tight clothes), she is NOT the comic's main character - that would be her older sister Gina.<br /><br />But your surprise does illustrate the one big problem that holds the comic back; What makes it genuinely good is simply not visible at first glance. Much like how you have to actually watch the Witchblade anime to see the greatness of it's story, you have to actually pick up and read a few issues of GD before the quality of it's story becomes apparent. <br /><br />It's not helped by the fact that nearly every event has been tied into, called back, or otherwise referenced in later issues makes it difficult to pick it up and follow this late in the game - color issue #101 was meant to be a good pick-up point for new readers, but I don't think it did as well at that as it could have. Fortunately, Antarctic Press has made a wise move by creating the GD-ROM collections of all the back issues that are no longer available at a cheap price.<br /><br />But if you do go back and give the series a try from the beginning, be warned; While the early art is not BAD, it can be painful to look at compared to how far Fred's drawing ability has come since then. Let's put it this way: Whatever you want to say about the art quality of early GD issues, it's better than anything Rob Liefeld's ever done. By an immeasurable margin.Formula Foxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-81633793061316506412012-02-23T21:17:13.443-06:002012-02-23T21:17:13.443-06:00Ok. 2 things.

The guy there wouldn't sell me Astounding Wolfman (they only had a few left) because I didn't know who Kirkman was. I waited for the trade and got it from somewhere else.<br /><br />As for the review itself. One thing that took me by suprise both in the review and the comments was Gold Digger being well known. I thought it was only known to furries.

Gasp a reboot! Please not a reboot!...@Lewis Lovhaug<br />Gasp a reboot! Please not a reboot! Well, you could make it a reboot but have some cataclysmic time-related event to occur. Because it will be hard to release new books under the old Angel Armor titles. With movies, yes this is possible but it never works with books. If you choose the time travel related form of reboot, yes it essentially undoes events of the trilogy and allows Louis to put a mature spin on things. When you said rewrite the main red light that went off was that you'd release another book titled Angel Armor: Just A Boy and ignore that the original AA books ever existed. I may be only 16 now, but I know remaking these books and ignoring the original versions are a bad idea. If you do remake them, will it be some Bs time travel thing like Star Trek (2009) did that sort of destroyed its continuity but still allowed a reboot, or a bullshit Amazing Spider-man type of reboot that ignores all previous works? Because if you're not careful you can anger your fans.Mitchell Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290460758083688624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-85874884284388215612012-02-23T14:08:56.280-06:002012-02-23T14:08:56.280-06:00"Yes, I understand.

As for morals and grammatical stuff, grammar can be fixed by reading over your work a few times (XD, you DID reread what you wrote, right?). Morals for me should be fine, as one of the main points in the book is how imperfect the world is. I hear much praise given to how you developed the worlds, they're not like 2D Star Wars ones (admit it, they are). Oh, and a heads up, on the Barnes and Noble Website it says you're still 15. Do you think you'll eventually return to writing books, now that you have gained so much experience?"<br /><br />It's certainly possible. I've written some notes down on how I would rewrite the books so that I don't have some of the more... unpleasant and naive aspects in them.Lewis Lovhaughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724769374732321363noreply@blogger.com
