You're not cool enough for the Exclusive TMoB, Jake, fibber, Lackey, & yoda thread...

[Themanofbat]

No, it is actually a requirement that all mods on the Hype have sexy pics to deliver to Mirko on demand. I'm lucky though. That rule was made AFTER I was made admin, so I am exempt... hmmmm, maybe the people who would have to look at them are the lucky ones.

I'm a very lucky man...

Actually...the answer really really was "Because it slipped my mind, and here's the warning you were wondering about." I guess I should thank you for reminding me of it...so...thank you for reminding me of it. And....we can call foul days after something wrong is done....think of it more as the police discovering a crime than a referee at a ballgame.

Oh weird, a mod thinks himself more akin to a police officer than a fat guy with pants that are too short running around and making bad calls. I guess that we just have a little, a little difference of opinion.

Actually...we have a really big difference of opinion about many things....I thought you knew that. It's also nice to see that instead of talking civily about things...you prefer to stoop to childish remarks.

 

[Not Jake]

I'm sorry, officer.

Hey guys.

I'm totally out of loop about comics, so could someone tell me what's the status of JM DeMatteis' Abadazad? I still haven't read anything beyond those CrossGen issues. If I remember correctly Disney rescued it after the bankruptcy and planned to do something with it...

I thought I once started an Abadazad thread here but I couldn't find it.

 

[Lackey]

Hyperion published 3 children's books before it got scrapped yet again. The books were a mixture of novel and comic book and I really liked that format. I have all 3 - I had to get the 3rd from overseas.
Here's was DeMatteis had to say about it.

FAREWELL, ABADAZAD

8:59 AM PDT, September 17, 2007, updated at 8:17 AM PDT, September 22, 2007
The supernatural speed with which time passes is a constant reminder to me that the mystics are right: life is a dream. The fact that more than two months have passed since my last appearance on this page is further proof. Wasn’t it just July? The summer blew by in a surreal blur of work, vacation, work, family gatherings and more work: among other things, I’ve finished a screenplay, done several issues of Wetworks for DC/Wildstorm and written my first Spider-Man story in almost a decade.

You’ll notice that Abadazad is missing from that list.

Have a seat. Here comes the bad news:

We recently received word from Hyperion Books For Children that—due to a variety of factors—the Abadazad series is ending. Book Three, which came out in England in July and is rolling out in the rest of the world (but not, I’m sorry to say, in the United States. If you’d like a copy, you’ll have to order it here) will be the end of the road for the inhabitants of the Floating Warlock’s kingdom.

To say that I’m disappointed is the understatement of the century. Kate, Matt, Little Martha and the rest aren’t characters to me: they’re my friends. And right now it feels as if those friends have been trapped in limbo. Frozen forever in mid-movement. I miss them terribly. Miss their company and their wisdom and the joy they brought into my life. We shared an extraordinary adventure together and I’m heartbroken that it’s over. (There is some hope of freeing the Abadazadians from that limbo. A possibility that the series will be resurrected in its original form: as a comic book. If that happens, you’ll get the news here first.)

Happily, my adventures with mad genius Mike Ploog and our brilliant color artist, Nick Bell, won’t be ending. We’ve already done The Stardust Kid together (look for the collected edition early next year) and we’re talking about a new project that, with luck, we’ll be jumping into in another month or two. Mike and Nick aren’t just two of the most talented collaborators I’ve ever worked with, they’re two of the nicest. Thanks, guys.

I also have to thank the amazing Brenda Bowen, who recently left Hyperion to start a new children’s imprint at Harper Collins. Brenda was truly our guardian angel: scooping us up out of the CrossGen bankruptcy and giving our story new life and new hope. With her love for, and understanding of, Abadazad, I sometimes suspected she was Queen Ija in disguise.

Finally, I have to thank all our readers. You made this journey with us: opened your hearts and allowed the Blue Globe to sweep you over the Eight Oceans and straight into Abadazad. You’re a part of the story as much as Kate and Matt, DeMatteis and Ploog. Here’s hoping we can all make the journey again, whether it's revisiting ‘Zad in comic book form...or setting off for new, uncharted worlds.

I really liked Abadazad

 

[Lackey]

Wait.... Kel is black? I thought her ass was a pasty shade of white.

It's because she's ashy

 

[Themanofbat]

Attached are the following mods that will grace our thread in a much undeserving fashion...

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome the following individuals into the Red Font Fraternity/Sorority:

DBella
Showtime
The Original Bamfer
hippie_hunter
Lobo

Show them some love, and let them know how much you envy their awesomeness.

I'm nor sure about "envying their awesomeness", but I do laugh at them...

 

[DOG LIPS]

This thread is awesome. It's like a Mod Lounge with some Canadians hanging out with us.

I prefer to think of it as a bunch of cool kids hanging out at the mall, and every once in a while, you bump into a few arsewipes.

 

[DOG LIPS]

Oh you flatterer, you.

 

[Lackey]

I want to see DOG LIPS naked.

 

[Kelly]

No ya don't.......been there done that..............he's much smaller than he talks.



BTW, don't know if I've told you Lackey, but your avvy is totally my favorite avvy on the hype......

 

[Theballsofsteel]

 

[Themanofbat]

Damn... I love that guy's name...

 

[Morg]

Hell if I know. I've been harassing her for sexy pics for months with no luck.

Try bribing her with something else besides dog biscuits

 

[Morg]

I want to see DOG LIPS naked.

[Themanofbat]

Hey guys...

Did you hear the joke about the good mod?

Neither did I... t: t: t:

 

[Themanofbat]

How many mods does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None... they're all busy chasing Not Jake to give him probation warnings... t: t: t:

 

[Themanofbat]

Knock, knock....

Who's there?

A SHHype Mod...

A SHHype Mod who?

Exactly.

[DOG LIPS]

How many posters are involved in Tmob's jokes?

9,001.

One to post, 9,000 to not laugh.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I chuckled at the first one.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

So Daniel Day Lewis won best actor. Im happy with that, but honestly I would have picked There Will Be Blood over No Country for Old Men for the best picture. Both were awesome, but TWBB (as all the young people call it) tickled my evil bone like no other

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

Also, Ive been watching season 6 of Curb. Absolutely hilarious, better than season 5 I'd say. "Long balls, change your draws." I ****ing love Leon
