When the internet 2.0 was young i thought about making a blog page about comics and he would have been the first entry because despite his stellar success on JLI and Legion i felt like not enough people knew about him.

I own a few pages by him. Nothing great, just what i could afford as a student. One of my favorites is a Legion page with one panel drawn and photostatted eight more times and dialogue pasted on top. I love it because that was the kind of tongue in cheek story telling you got. Never a dull moment, always a new take. Farewell.

His JLI and Ambush Bug are hilarious, and JLI is of course where the "bwahaha" comes from. His runs on Legion of Super-Heroes are fan favorites. But you probably knew that. Just making sure.

Ich war der festen Überzeugung, dass das auch in Deutschland schon gilt.

Effektiv führt man damit aber auch nur die Politik der Vergangenheit vor. So eine Genehmigung dauert doch mehrere Jahre. Für den Kontext müsste man die Wahlversprechen von vor 4 Jahren nehmen.

Is 007 a british series? I only order through US-Previews and i believe that would be published by Titan, am i correct?

 

To get this community back on track: What are you currently reading? Did you discover any classics, find a new not well known series or the artist you've been looking for?

I'll start with Giant Days. I missed it when it was originally published, but started reading Bad Machinery two years ago and fell in love with John Allison's quirky writing and am buying anything with his name on it.

One of my favorite books right now is Newburn by Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Philips. It's has a lot of suspense and Jacob Philips is at least as good as his father.

And i read X-Amount of Comics by Don Simpson. This is a parody/follow up to Alan Moore's 1963 which was published in 1993 and had an announced Annual that never appeared. It's interesting to read Simpsons's account of what happened in the bonus material. The main story on the other hand didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was just a string of one off quips and cameos that didn't really go anywhere.

I assume that scene actually isn't in the book, right? It's a shame that word balloons on covers have gone out of fashion. But at least we're past the bland poster covers of the 2000s.

cool. Nationale Statuten. Wie wäre es, wenn die Fifa dann den spanischen Verband aus alllen Wettberwerben streicht?

Freut mich für die Fahrer. Lieferfahrer werden viel zu schlecht bezahlt. Denkt man... im Artikel steht, dass sie jetzt auf einer Stufe mit Softwareentwicklern und Ärzten stehen. Bleibt aber abzuwarten, wie die Gehälter sich auf die Preise für die Kunden auswirken. Unsere Gesellschaft (und noch mehr die amerikanische) hängt inzwischen so sehr von Warenlieferungen ab, dass eine Kostenexplosion massive Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Wirtschaft hätte. Lese ich zumindest aus meinem Kaffeesatz.

PS: Die Gewerkschaft, die das ausgehandelt hat, heißt wirklich Teamsters. Ich dachte bisher immer, das sei in den USA eine allgemeine abschätzige Bezeichnung für Gewerkschaften.

Lustig, aber irgendwie wie Deichkind mit etwas flacherem Sprechgesang. Die Beats sind jedenfalls gut.

Maybe if they pay extra to be featured at the top?

Ads themselves are just annoying but tolerable. But we're talking about targeted marketing. Ad companies keep data on you, the user, so they can squeeze out a bit more money from avertisers. That requires the users' consent in many parts of the world and ad companies still try to weasel around that. When you don't want them to have your data, a word from you should be enough. No hidden options, no clicking through a dozen pages, no ifs and whens.

Frage: kann man in so einem Fall einen Anwalt beauftragen, die Nachricht zu überbringen? Oder müsste der im Zweifelsfall wie jeder andere auch seinen Klienten preisgeben?
