L. Marcus Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I haven't read any superhero comics since ... must be the early Nineties. There was a giant Marvel cross-over event, the one after Beyonder came to Earth, I think ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I read comics while we were overseas and thus had no TV (and a lower availability of entertainment in English in general). Once back in the States, that wasn't a problem any more, for the most part, so 8 or 10 comic magazines a month was no longer needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 cheers, okay no worries. As further context, my comics-reading years were 1962-65 and 1968-71. Substantially different times in both comics and RL than, e.g., ten years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yea, some difference between Cancer's reading group and later. I wound mostly with 70s - '92 when I stopped. (Spiderman Carnage 12 parter pushed me over the edge) There are good stories in all those age ranges (and to the present), but a lot of crap as wel. I got more tired by the big events that didn't actually have any effect, and seemed more about selling different covers. And the constant retelling of a story that was already done a few times. I stil have a few long boxes with some comics I enjoyed. Most independants, though I haven't even looked at them for five or six years.

I did the first one that Solomon started long ago, and had a concept for one last summer that I just ran out of inspiration on in the middle. Just doesn't seem to hold my interest.

Cancer Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Not really. He's been through a lot lately: last week he had the "replumbing" surgery (I don't know what it's called), altering his urinary tract away from the usual male parts which were scarred and blocking, after 5-6 weeks of fighting urinary tract obstructions. Most of the time he has to wear the "cone of shame" -- he can't be allowed to wash/lick the sutures. He has been largely confined to one bathroom most of the day for his first couple of days home (he came home last Thursday evening). So I have the impression that he's chumming up to people as much as he can, since he's spent lots of time sore, bored, and lonely. At the time I typed that earlier entry, I was eating my morning Cheerios with this largish cat sitting across my shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Youngest bro's family got themselves a new kitten. Seems like a very sweet one, in contrast to the other two they've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 For some reason, our largest cat (16 lbs) is the one who wants to be on your shoulder. The two six pounders, if they're on you, usually it's just laptime. Or in bed sitting on your chest staring at you. Though the fluffy one tends to drape across my wife's neck in bed.

Cancer Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah, for Fluff Butt I think one of the important things in his life is "shoulder surfing", riding around while across the shoulders and taking in the sights from that height. And in the family, only my shoulders are broad enough for him to do that comfortably (for him). lemming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
