@Mikail...I think Walta approached him! After seeing all the ones I was posting. A lot of artists started reaching out after that.
Rudra

@malvin if you don’t mind me asking, around what year did you stop reading new comics?
Rob Rusch
3:48
@Malvin @Jason I read digital pretty exclusively now. takes up no space and much less complicated logistics
Mikail

@rob i'm in the process of switching to digital and buying nice collected editions of stuff i really like
Felix Lu
3:49
@Jason...that's so sad...
Malvin
3:49
@felix, sent it
Jason K
3:49
mostly non-superhero
3:50
@felix - i know i know. but with this whole quarantine just delaying the inevitable
Felix Lu
3:50
@Malvin...that page is inks only...Burrows has the pencil pages.
Rob Rusch
3:50
@Jason yea, I do digital + CGC slabs for what I want to collect.
Alvaro

@Malvin Haven't read it yet! Thanks for reminding me. And thanks @Rob Rusch , haven't gotten to read Chew yet! Making a note of both :)
Malvin
3:51
@Felix, I know, but since Burrows isn't exactly a superstar to me, I don't mind paying for blue line pages.
Jonathan W
3:52
@Malvin that Punisher story you read - so good. Parlov is my favorite artist
Malvin
3:52
@Felix, and I saw quite a few Burrows pencil pages on ebay, didn't interest me

@alvaro read 1st three issues of latest “ether” miniseries by kindt & rubin during lunch today.  so fun & so pretty.
Rudra
3:53
@jason k, going digital and having premium edition of the creme of the crop makes too much sense. It’s a hassle having all these loose floppies or even trades of a few collected issues
Jason K
3:54
@rudra - yeah, i lose them or forget where i read up to. just much harder other than the few books that i read as soon as i get in my car. like dead earth or little bird
Felix Lu
3:56
I get all that...and even agree to a point...I just find the passing of a beloved format to be sad
Alvaro
3:56
@Felix Lu Nice from Gabriel! Specially since he hasn't been doing commissions from a while now. I have seen a few outside this group's, but only recall Michael Walsh's and Matt Lesniewski's right now. Really good, anyhow!
Mikail

The kids are clamoring for dinner. Goodnight all. Stay safe!
Felix Lu

Seeya M!

when I visited Paris a few years ago, I spent a whole day going from Bande Dessignee shop to shop. The way they present comics is beautiful! Everything is in these hardcovers. Not just the European stuff, but even the American superhero comics that we only get in trades
Felix Lu
3:57
@Rudra...their packaging is second to none. I've long said we should outsource that to them. Beautiful aesthetics. And no dust jackets!
A Kuri

what's up!!!
Felix Lu

Hey A! Got here just in time to catch the end! LOL

Hi all!  There are some amazing collections out there.  I just picked up the history of the marvel universe treasury.  But I will never stop buying floppies.  I've tried!
Felix Lu
4:00
Hey David!
And I'm with you!
Jason K
4:00
Fantagraphics puts out some wonderful quality hc's. That Mort cinder book. Beautiful
Rudra

These are only floppies I have left now. I refuse to have longboxes piled up
Alvaro
4:01
@Rick Yankosky Love Ether! The two make a killer combo. Kinda disguested I missed the Kickstarter for their upcoming new book (with Lemire too!).
Rudra
4:01
@felix, truly. I was freaking out seeing how they present comics and wonder why we in the UK and US don’t do the same
Alvaro
4:01
@Mikail Same! Enjoy your dinner!
Jason K

I told my shop leave dead earth and mountainhead and cancel everything else from my list. Felt pretty bad
Felix Lu
4:01
Brutal. I feel so bad for shops. Love shops so much, so will keep trying to support. But overall trend is not good.
David Blumer
4:01
@Jason mountainhead!  Such a cool book!
A Kuri
4:02

Felix Lu
4:03
@A...it really was. Very memorable. And when those two guys become even bigger, the story will get even better!
