Scribd is adding a ton of comics for $9/month: [link] I'm curious to see how this works out.
Which reminds me I'm way behind on Sex Criminals and Lumberjanes. Dang.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I saw the trade for Rat Queens the other day and totally wanted it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Lumberjanes was/is my favorite comic of 2014. It is exceptional. I didn't expect BoomBox to come out with something so intelligent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got the first TPB of Rat Queens for Christmas. I enjoyed it a lot, though some of the violence was a little more than I cared for.

I've never seen a single issue send shockwaves through the comics industry the way that Lumberjanes #1 did since, like, TMNT #1.

Tom - how so? I remember the critical reaction being pretty positive, but nothing earth-shaking.

In the span of a few months, the number of woman-focused titles at DC and Marvel about doubled, including Gotham Academy, which is almost a clone of Lumberjanes. Marvel hired away Boom's top talent. DC did a 180°, abandoning their New 52, 1990s-style, grim-n-gritty house style in favor of lighter fare like Harley Quinn, a revamped Batgirl, Bat-Mite, etc.

Hmm. What TV network would pick up Sex Criminals? [link]
