Hear me out. You can laugh about Pump N Munch, but I argue that it’s a much more positive message than Kum & Go

Yeah, I felt like the first 3 issue Serenity miniseries put out by Dark Horse, the one that bridged the gap between the show and the film, felt like an episode of the show. But the comics that followed had diminishing returns as far as writing quality goes (though there are plenty I haven’t read)

Yeah, I think it’s a strong possibility

Yeah, animation would be cool too. But since the teasers for this announcement is coming from Nathan Fillion’s socials and not a studio, my mind went to the cheaper option. But like I said, I don’t want to make any assumptions. It’s just fun to speculate on the possibilities.

Yeah, on audio their characters can still be the same age.

In regards to that upcoming Firefly announcement, I just wanted to throw this out there. What if it’s not a TV relaunch? What if it’s an audio drama series?
I’m not making any assumptions, but this possibility makes sense to me. It’s a great medium for exploring older properties.

That moment when I’m googling character reference and find art that I colored in the past

β€œOh yeah, I have colored this guy before”

I think X-Men Vol 2 #1 held that record for the longest time. Not sure if it still does. Seems like Absolute Batman #1 is doing pretty well in that regard.

This is the kit I used, and they had YouTube videos as well as written instructions, which was useful. But yeah, at some point you just have to call it quits.

Ah ok, just thought I would check since I was close to trashing mine unnecessarily

Just curious, in what way is it not printing? A year ago my workforce stopped printing (just spat out blank or mostly blank pages) then I got a kit to flush all the printer heads and it’s been working like new ever since.
If it’s acting like it’s printing but isn’t you might be having the same issue

As a guy who was 12 when I saw the movie in theaters, I can assure you I was already steeped in lore. Most notably (but not limited to) 1989’s The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, 1990’s The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and 1991’s Captain N and the New Super Mario World.

The 1993 film is not a faithful adaptation in the slightest, but judged by its own merits it’s a work of genius! If you haven’t seen it before, go into it with the mindset that it’s an original film and not based on anything. Remove any expectations and preconceived notions and just enjoy the ride!

I have a copy of the original screenplay, and while it’s a bit different from the final film, it’s not wildly different. And they still go to space, which is the bit that’s most frequently mocked, so that was going to happen regardless.

This is actually my favorite of the sequels. I love the generational aspect to the story, introducing the LeMarchand/Merchant family as the Van Helsings for Cenobites.
I feel it only gets panned because of the production drama that happened, but the movie is still solid imo.

A note that reads β€œNew continent in Pacific Ocean”

Last night I woke up from a dream and thought it would make a brilliant story idea. I was so inspired I got up, went into my studio, and jotted down the idea before going back to bed.
This morning I got up having forgot the whole thing, and found this note to myself in my studio.

Exactly! β€œVote blue no matter who” for the last decade just led us to the dystopian fascist landscape we now live in. So from now on I suggest Dems concentrate on β€œNominate well or go to hell”.
I don’t need perfect candidates, just ones that will actually work for the people.

I’m hoping at some point those of us in the states can get some form of physical copy, I know I would love one.
In the meantime, have you thought about setting up a shop on your Patreon to sell downloadable PDF copies?

I do totally agree that comic pros should have a non-socials means of contact linked on their socials. I just recommend a website rather than an email address, simplified or not.
