I'm calling a Spider-Woman sex change. First you bring in the multi-ethnic Spider-Man, then you up the ante with a transgendered Spider-Person.

Character with the biggest grossing solo film goes in front I imagine.

Coming from DC Comics this summer, "Before Watchmen" features seven inter-connected series that expands on the existing Watchmen universe. by DocGerbil256in comicbooks

Moore wanted to use actual Charlton characters, DC didn't want to (didn't want to end up with dead characters they couldn't use) and told him to create original characters.

That said, I'm still not excited about these. If the library gets them I'll give'em a look but I won't buy them.

It is very pretty. Prettiest SK book I own has to be the signed limited Desperation though. It comes in a black leather tray case with a red lining, no dust jacket. It doesn't look like much in a picture but its beautifully done.

Note: that is not my picture.

There is a small indent on the slipcase that you can see in the first picture, about a third of the way up from the bottom. I honestly didn't notice it 'til I took the picture, in person it's barely noticeable. It looks to be in the same shape as the ones I've seen in local shops. The books themselves are perfect.

Currently $89.96. They had it for $75 a few months back which is when I decided to go ahead and do it. Omnibus editions of comics are pretty bad about going out of print and becoming stupid expensive.

I familiar with all the free public domain sites. I thought maybe you knew of a good source for cheap new releases. I like ebooks and paper books so I just buy the cheapest.

Carrie's power as a breaker. by Avenkal19in TheDarkTower

[–]ViaConNada 1 point2 points ago

Carrie making it rain stones when she was little was pretty impressive. The stones weren't on her property so its not like she saw them and just moved them around with her mind, she was able to pull them from somewhere distant move them to her and then let them go. I think given more time she could have been immensely powerful.

[–]ViaConNada 3 points4 points ago

Honest question, where are you finding eBooks that are cheaper? All of the ones I look at are usually more expensive or the same price as paperbacks.

I get most of my ebooks through the library because I'm not a fan of the current pricing.

It's shit like this, eBay........ by Koolaidstoryin gamecollecting

Find something it says, lets say "BOX ONLY" in this case and add:

-(BOX ONLY)

to your search.

Basic Search Results

Modified Search Results

For example:

Searching for an iPod nano sorted with prices lowest to highest gives you a ton of broken ones first. But searching for:

ipod nano -(broken, repair, parts, as is)

Removes most of the broken crap with any of those terms in the title.

When most people think of Mormonism they usually do so in a positive light.

I live in the bible belt. In my experiences, 9 times out of 10 if someone mentions Mormonism, it is not positive.

Question about a Nook (since Nooks are powered through Android thought I'd ask you guys) by b_beein Android

[–]ViaConNada 1 point2 points ago

Link to the book in question would help.

Have you tried downloading it to your PC and manually moving it to the Nook?

Am I the only one that thinks TWD is just dragging along lately? I'm pretty close to dropping it if it doesn't pick up soon.

Keurig Brewers: any decent tea options? by Addyctin tea

I have always wondered what was actually in the cup. My dad has the "Fill your own cup" thing, but I've never tried it.

What kind of cup do you prefer to drink coffee from? by BillyKangasin Coffee

Jadeite Fire-King restaurant ware C-handle mug.

Beautifully thick and sturdy, they just don't make'em like that anymore.

First French Press by MrSpiffyin Coffee

[–]ViaConNada 2 points3 points ago

My FP clean up, takes about a minute.

Dump out grounds into trash can.

Put a squirt of dish washing soap and an inch or two of water into the press.

Put top on and rapidly depress and lift the plunger until the entire press is filled with suds.

Rinse and dump out excess water.

Sit upside down on a paper towel to dry.

Keurig Brewers: any decent tea options? by Addyctin tea

[–]ViaConNada 2 points3 points ago

I've never understood how a Keurig is supposed to make any passable beverage. Hot chocolate would be OK I suppose but Coffee and Tea take time to steep. How can a tea that should steep for 4 minutes with a normal brewing method need only under a minute in a Keurig?

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems unlikely.
