Thanks, all!

I went with 8, mostly due to the continued dovetailing of the past/present stories. I liked Anita's appearance, too, and the reveal at the end. I had high hopes for Mina, and so far she's delivered.

Just read it in my insomniacal state, and I liked it. Some of the dialogue was a bit clunky, but not to the point of distraction. A good opening, with a promise of goodness to come.

I stand corrected. What can I say? It's been a while. I said I was gonna go back and read it, get off my back!

why did your girlfriend complain btw, if she didnt know hb well, just jcs character from swampthing and lucifer altough they obviously did want to show satan not lou just named him wrong, sonichellboy?

and did lucifer appera in the comics?

or how the fuck is all this exactly now?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You lost me a little bit, but she wanted her Lucifer to be as she enjoyed it in his comic. I believe Lou is in Dangerous Habits. Isn't that who John visits at the club? Gotta go read it again.

I have no idea if I answered your question, as I have no clue what you were asking me. Does any of this make sense?

Man, I hope this comes to pass. I'm really loving the art that's been done so far. Good work, people!

To be fair, the Lucifer in the movie is a far different one than the "Lucifer" comic...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, I tried to tell her, but she would have none of that. What can I say? She's a fangirl now...

Is it wrong for me to find this amusing?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If it is, I'm wrong too. This is scary because I just watched the movie for the first time with my girlfriend and her sister, and the GF complained more bitterly than I. When it was over, I just handed her the Dangerous Habits trade and got out of the way. She's a big Lucifer fan, and HATED his portrayal in the movie. She's been struggling with getting into HB since there's so much of it, but loves him from Swamp Thing, so the gears are in motion! Who knew a relatively crappy movie could unite my GF with Conjob?

For some reason, I read this whole thread....

BASTARDS!!!!!!!

Er, I mean....

BSTRDS!!!!!!!!

I'm a sap, I gave it a 10. I seriously loved this issue, though. I had no problem with Manco's art, and the "Hellblazer's" quote brought a smile to my face. I'm sorry to see Carey go, but he got a lot out of John, and left Mina with a pretty blank slate.

I like the ghosts. They're not terribly obtrusive, and, as someone said, they're a decent metaphor for John's guilt. If they popped up all the time it'd get old, but as it now stands I'm down.

Word. I added "Here Be Dragons" and "Vanilla Gorilla" to my iTunes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sweet! Glad you like it.

Welcome, Sonic Hellboy. Nice to meet you. I'm in the midwest, but I'd love to see yer band. Great name!

 

EDIT: I like yer sound!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks, Charlie. I've been around a bit, but mostly lurking. Hope to see you in the Midwest sometime soon!

Sounds cool.  I'll try to check you guys out when you play the Casbah.  That's always a great place to see shows.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Heh, we're actually from SD. And the Casbah is indeed a good place to see shows. And my brother works there!

My band, the Long and Short of It, is going to be on tour up the coast for the next couple weeks. There's a link in my sig with music and tour dates if anyone's interested.

Well, I guess I liked it more than most. The thought of Cheryl's soul being in John seems downright perverse. And the cell phone bit didn't bug me too much. Hell, it's the 21st century. Let the kids do it their way.

That being said, if they had used text messaging, I might have puked.

Are you seriously complaining because Ellis is writting in the style of Ellis???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You got me with that one. Actually laughed out loud.

I liked Jones well enough, and the art is great, so I'm in. I'm willing to give Ellis a chance on about anything....actually, scratch 'about'. And where I wrote 'a chance"? That means I'll buy the entire run.

So, I bought it, liked it, and will be buying it until it is done. Likewise Jack Cross.

K, I'm beat and have no business typing!

sonichellboy, due i tottaly dig your stuff

 

on another note i play the Bagpipes and do lead vocals in a band called the Irish Mafia were real viloent and real hardcore i usually come away from shows with something or another broken or bleeding if not me someone else always does

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Got a website? Sounds great!

And I loves me some 'pipes...

Should load automatically, gonna have to check that out...

I am in need of positive reinforcement, so check out my band.

The Long and Short of It

Ignore at your peril!

The sentimental side of me says Kit, but the 'If I was forty-ish and a bit randy' side of me says "good God, Angie!".

Rogan, you beat me to the Gemma, you tart!

I really liked this one, I did. Lotsa things happening, and the big reveal at the end has me on pins and needles already. I've really enjoyed Carey's run, and it looks like he has some bang-up shit coming in the near future. And then he goes...

Whoever said that it looks like he's tying up all the loose ends in time for Ms. Mina's arrival, I have to agree. A lot of the floating questions are being resolved, and the plate looks to be clear by the end of the run. I'll miss Carey, though. I got back in to HB in the middle of Azz's run (having missed most everything since Ennis left), and Carey was a breath of fresh air to me.

Damn coffee makes it hard to type....

Tom, I really like your band! I thought Husker Du, then saw it in the influences and laughed.

Vibemerchants are cool, too!

Spiderlegs, I like your stuff, but had a hard time with some of the links.

Edit: Of course, if I'd just gone to the Myspace...

We should have an all STH show somewhere centrally located ( )!

Thanks, all!

Uh, I meant I'd go download some of their songs.

That last post didn't sound too great, in hindsight...

Sonic, your band fucking rips man. Top stuff. You should check out my friend's band Taint I think you'd dig them.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thankee! Wasn't sure I got the link right...

I'll go check Taint out right now.
