PS: I love you instocktrades.com. You have some bombass deals and even if you can't quite compete with Amazon as far as selection goes it's nice to have a site that isn't Amazon to buy comics from. But please ****ing stop using UPS. This **** was supposed to come last Saturday.

Aww **** you pulled the trigger.. NICE!

On an unrelated note, have you checked out Dorohedoro? I watched the first episode on Netflix yesterday and its pretty trippy and dark. Also, doesnt seem to suffer from the usual cringe(yet), I have high hopes. Too bad its only 1 season.

Never heard of it. And most anime is only 1 season.

Loved it. Made me want to finish the manga.

OMG they're here! I now have the first three deluxe hardcover volumes of Berserk (first nine volumes of the manga) and have cracked open the first and god damn does the size difference make a difference I couldn't have accounted for. It just looks right. It makes me feel like I was originally reading the series while wearing a bad pair of prescription glasses. God have mercy on my soul.

Also here's the official most recent pic of me just cause I had the camera open. Check the sexy hair.

Cut your hair you ****ing hippy.

And yes that size looks way more enjoyable. The single paperbacks are like the size of your hand, whack.

Seriously though, you need to go check out Dorohedoro, Ant and I both say so.

My transition phase between short hair and hair long enough to put into a ponytail is admittedly... rough.

God may forgive you, but Miura-sensei shall not.

I'm gonna highly recommend that you upgrade btw if you want Miura-sensei to look favorably on you as well. Berserk just looks so good bigger. And the volumes have bookmark ribbons to make you feel like a true reader. BLACK bookmark ribbons.

And now I'm doubly stoked for the deluxe hardcover edition volume 1 of Hellsing I pre-ordered that will come out in late July. If there's one manga that can rival my love of Berserk it's Hellsing. The first manga series that I ever truly loved. I just hope they didn't omit all the asides from the writer that he put at the end of each volume that were delightfully nonsensical bull**** which made me connect with Kouta Hirano on a very personal level because they are exactly what I would add at the end of my own manga volumes.

Anteater 06-01-2020 07:21 PM

Speaking of Hellsing, I need to catch up with his current manga Drifters. It's damn amazing.
