Diamond List for January 16, 2008

[PhotoJones]

I need to find a better comic store, it's impossible to get any indies at the one I go to. They try, but if I do get it, it's 2 or 3 weeks late.

That's what Previews is for.

 

[Darthphere]

That's what Previews is for.

And trust me, I use it, but if it isn't crap like Street Fighter or some ****, they just don't order it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What's Stranded?

Mike Carey's story about some aliens who were left on Earth. It sounds vaguely like Roswell but better.

You need a new shop.

Mike Carey's story about some aliens who were left on Earth. It sounds vaguely like Roswell but better.

Oh, it's a Virgin book. I'm irrationally opposed to those.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

PJ hates the Indians.

 

[PhotoJones]

Are Indians and Virgin Comics related?

 

[Darthphere]

You need a new shop..

I just said that.

 

[PhotoJones]

I agreed with it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Virgin's creators are largely Indians and their comics largely cover Indian subject matter.

 

[Red]

Are Indians and Virgin Comics related?

Step-brothers twice removed.

 

[PhotoJones]

Virgin's creators are largely Indians and their comics largely cover Indian subject matter.

They do? All I know of are Guy Ritchie's thing, Nic Cage's thing, Ed Burns' thing and Dan Dare. All non-Indian creators and correct me if I'm wrong, but also non-Indian subject matter, right?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They do? All I know of are Guy Ritchie's thing, Nic Cage's thing, Ed Burns' thing and Dan Dare. All non-Indian creators and correct me if I'm wrong, but also non-Indian subject matter, right?

Yes. And that's almost all the non-Indian stuff they have. The rest of their line consists of things like Shekhar Kepur's Devi and Snake Woman, Deepak Chopra Presents India Authentic, Ramayan 3392 AD by Shamik Dasgupta and Jeevan Kang, Eat the Dead by Siddharth Kottian, etc.

By the way, didn't you buy The Dock Walloper a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Darthphere]

Ennis and Burns are totally Indian.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ennis only pretends to be Irish because he thinks chicks dig it.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yes. And that's almost all the non-Indian stuff they have. The rest of their line consists of things like Shekhar Kepur's Devi and Snake Woman, Deepak Chopra Presents India Authentic, Ramayan 3392 AD by Shamik Dasgupta and Jeevan Kang, Eat the Dead by Siddharth Kottian, etc.

By the way, didn't you buy The Dock Walloper a couple of weeks ago?

No. Aside from the fact that it sounded ******ed, I read an interview with Ed Burns and he has completely no respect for comics.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh. Seemed like something you'd be interested in.

 

[PhotoJones]

How so?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought it sounded gritty and pulpy, but in a slightly satirical way. I thought you liked that sort of thing. Guess not.

 

[PhotoJones]

I like gritty and pulpy as much as the next guy, but I thought it sounded more like The Goon with softer edges.

There are a bunch of books I'd love to buy but I have to prioritize.

 

[Darthphere]

No. Aside from the fact that it sounded ******ed, I read an interview with Ed Burns and he has completely no respect for comics.

I like gritty and pulpy as much as the next guy, but I thought it sounded more like The Goon with softer edges.

Sounded more like, "Couldn't get this greenlit in Hollywood, so I made it a comic in hopes of making it a movie!"
