Chez Goth would be it!
I wasn't paying too much attention becuase there was another customer who had been in a deep conversation with the comic guy when I went to pay for my stuff.
Plus I was tryign to get out of there before I spent more than $5.

I already spent $30 on Tuesday at a different shop! And I think there are some new issues I haven't bought yet (I have to check). Plus I think there are some current issues I don't have yet (I have to look) and, of course, more back issues to buy.
Not to mention all the tempting tpbs.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The art in Secret War reminds me of the cutscenes in Max Payne.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Right in the middle of my appointment with my therapist. Bah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What the hell is up with their scheduling? Boggles.
I did hear advance word on it to the tune of "answers a lot of questions." I didn't know there were questions. My curiosity is double-piqued.

I've been bouncing through the huge Elseworlds download. It makes me realise that I'm mostly art's bitch -- there's art bad enough that I won't stay long enough to see if the story's good -- Scott Lee's work on New Titans Annual #10 was clunky enough I didn't stay long enough to see if the bombastic language had a payoff. Kiki Chansamone on JLI was just hideous. But I also hated Kelley Jones's work on the Bloodstorm series ... but the idea was made clear early enough that I stayed on, and I'm glad I did.
However, the ones that make my eyes cheer -- Dave Johnson on Superman: Red Son (and incidentally I loved the story too), Howard Chaykin on Batman: Dark Allegiances -- these I'm considering buying in hard copy.
It's like a double refresher on characters (damn, JLI was dumb as well as forgettable) and writers and artists.
Fun.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I am very much the same way. Nothing takes me out of a story faster than art that I don't like.

There's a distance I can make from art I don't like, but some art I have to grade as crap.
It took me a while to love Sienkiewicz, for instance. He used to be not my thing.
It's the difference between ignoring rules, and not getting them. I'm stunned by some of the art that gets published that's I figure has to be universally reviled.
