last year june, I went to a music festival called element lakewood

I was wearing a sandman t-shirt actually, surprisingly there were people there recognizing my shirt

I was living in NYC, I made a lot of artist friend. I had a friend whose profession is body suspension. Him and I are both metalheads, we met at concert in jersey that had slayer/lamb of god/behemoth/anthrox etc

anyway I was hanging out with him half the time I was in this element lakewood.
He brought me to his camp which was a cool apartment.
There was this drop dead gorgeous girl who said "sandman, morpheus" pointing at my shirt . I was really happy she read sandman. I got to talk to her about comic books. She was surprisingly knowledgeable. So apparently she used to work in vertigo. Then she quit and said it was her best decision. Now she works for image and recommend me a comic series I don't give a fuk about. I ask what's her favorite book. She said "Lucifer" I literally came in my pants

Then my friend interrupted me about his story of pissing on GG Allin's grave. In a respectful way of course

My friend is a really cool guy, he performed flyboard on water second day of the festival. I missed it because I was tripping too hard with a camp of people I met. One chick in that camp was dancing in thong at a deep house/disco set. Later we smoked some dabs.

Anyway back to the comic book chick. She was looking at me like she wanted to fuk. But she got a short boyfriend, good looking dude but gay as hell, wears eyeliners. I don't judge. Cool guy though

I gave out yugioh cards to them. Every music festival I bring something fun to share. They loved it. I let them pick cards that most resemble them.

They offered me coke. I turned it down. Comic book chick told me "that's good for me" truth is with my heart condition, plus the fact that I was on acid, ketamine and xanax that night. I simply don't wanna handle another drug.

The gay dude with eyeliners keep commenting on how cool my tattoos were, I dont care. I had that conversation too many times.

Later we walked on coals, which was some pussy ass crap the hippies made big deal about. "WOOO if you can walk on coals you can do anything" what a croc of shit

It was a great experience. Later that night I was able to bump some k from some teenagers who sneaked in the festival who was only 17ish. She was really cute in a druggy way and her boyfriend was chill as hell.

I met really good dancers and performers in another camp, a guy who was trying to be a dj was mixing the best music I've ever heard. I told them about the crazy story of me smoking meth and doing 25i at the same time in a goth/techno nightclub at shanghai that almost killed me. It involves a crazy story I will tell another time

Sounds like a movie staring 90s Depp

Hobgoblin is supposed to be back in marvel.
They announced it years ago.
I'm looking forward to when he turns into something that can kill the Black Knight and his ebony blade.
I think it would make a good story.

No doubt. I didn’t even get wind it was this good. I just got interested in Lucy and learned that Michael was in fact dead and I was like “ok what on earth could have killed him” and then started reading the backstory. The drawings are dope and so is the story. I wasn’t even planning on getting into it. It really is amazing.

Looking at Panimac thread it’s a shame the images have been pulled.

edit: holy shit, it's been 11 years since I made that...wtf.

Soon it'll be 2020. Can't believe it.

Btw, has Photobucket finally gone full-premium? All scans are blurred, I'm guessing that's their way of making users buy the premium accounts...?

PB is absolutely terrible now. It used to be the best 10 years ago, though...

I'm all in with imgur at this point... It hasn't let me down yet.

It is, no question about that, but I think it just got worse? And somehow, it refuses to die, lol.

Tinypic got killed and PB owned it afaik, so their days are probably numbered.

The bad part is I don't have the scans saved..

Typical... 🙁

But in the era of readcomiconline and similar sites, re-collecting them will be even easier than before 👆 So don't fret too much.

I lost them all because a few years ago I got the 'ransom' virus on my laptop so I had to wipe it all out.

Including all the respect thread scans for Superman, Lucifer etc.

I even had a few new ones that I was almost done, including New 52 Superman...

And with them, I also lost the documents in which I wrote the issue number for each of them and stuff.

Pretty....angering.

Ransomware, you mean? Something like WannaCry? That sucks...

I'm not known for my safe Internet browsing habits, but I never caught that one.

Well, yeah, I can imagine.

You'd need to recreate everything basically relying just on your memory and needing to re-read/skim through a lot of issues.

Doable, but time-consuming af.

Nova controlling space would leave him only vulnerable to time right?

I don't remember the name of it, but yes, ransomware.

It took everything.

I do have an Apocalypse respect thread documented that I'm too lazy to upload the scans for, though. So there's that.

Anybody else really find the whole 'reviving' stuff in Hickman's X-Men as very off putting?

They're basically copies, but the 'real' ones die for real.

It's a 'The Prestige' type of stuff...

And the speeches where they get revived? Cyclops interaction with Storm?

wtf...

Again, that f*cking sucks.

Nur thread made by you...? Let me guess, more than a half of it would be a rant on how easily Mags would rape his blue ass, while using 5-10% of his power...? 😛

After I read the "fabulous" Sinister scene, I'm not so sure I want to start reading X-comics again... but you guys have been enjoying Hickman's work so far?

I'm planning on going through most of the X-Men's villains and make a RT for them [I have one for Magneto, obviously, and Apoc was next]. I'll maybe move on to Sebastian Shaw.

Hickman's run -- It's interesting and complex, and I'm interested to see where it goes. So I'm overlooking some of the more.....weird choices, until I see the whole picture. But this whole resurrection thing ... and the island ... and almost villain speeches and dialogue from the main good guys ... it's weird.

I find it interesting that it seems
there are two separate cosmologies being played out within Marvel simultaneously.

Hickman-Ewing-Waid ... are on the same page.

Starlin? ... running his own show.

-----------------------------------------------------

btw ... it also seems, that after Thanos absorbed AAO,

Thanos becomes one of the most powerful beings ever in Marvel.

(to become everything all universeS including "us" (meta) ... is as uber as uber gets)

I can't wait to see what else is included in the upcoming book.

-----------------------------------------------------

PS. I too am very intrigued as to how Starlin views the Beyond Realm in his cosmology.

My guess is he ignores it in this run, leaving us debating in circles for years to come.

Same shit he did to us with Marvel: The End and even the IG saga. A master of systematized confusion.

PB wants $350 if you want your images back.

They are worse than thieves.

Imageshack did the same thing.

But... they allowed their users to download all of their pics (the ones that weren't broken, anyway) via Skypath, before they went 100% premium.

Yeeeeah... There's a huge villainy overtone here.

Also, Cerebro making weekly copies of every mutant mind/consciousness on earth..? The fuk..? 😕

👆

This crap Starlin is doing is being treated like it's taking place in its own separate continuity. I'd bet that Starlin is the only writer who will ever reference the events of this series again.

Yeah, I hope all of these are intentional as to purposely make you go "wtf" -- and not stuff that Hickman really thinks is perfectly ok and make sense.

Then again -- Morrison made Magneto a literal oven-pushing Nazi to the point where Marvel had to do desperate convoluted retcons -- so even guys on that level can really **** it up.
