Cowabunga! You read BPRD finale🕺I really like how the series ended though it was unfortunate Arcudi wasn’t there to write it. Your slow crawl through Tintin albums reminds me I haven’t read any for a long time. In fact I don’t remember ever reading them in the order they were published🤔I did that to Asterix last year to get it out of my bucket list.
I get your more relaxed take 100%. I’ve slowed my own tempo so much that I might forget having a channel at all😅
I haven’t forgotten you have a channel so feed me content!
He was a proper talent and his hands are all over the mignolaverse in the best way. I don’t think I’m technically reading them in order as the numbering was changed at some point. 🤷🏻♂️
Great to see you back, and with a fine selection of meats at that!
I too feel the Absolute of Superman for All Seasons is one of the best DC has ever made!
Im liking the widescreen and new colours as well! Looking forward to more!
@@ftloc glad we are on the same page appreciating quality books as always! Thanks for the kind words as ever. The wide screen I just liked ascetically, not gonna be to everyone’s tastes but I like it. And the colours are all natural. I’ve decided to be really kind to myself production wise as colour grading, more b roll extra images, graphics all these little additions were taking the fun out of it for me. I will still do that for some but equally I’m allowing myself to just record, edit and share, easily and straightforwardly. In other words I’m relaxing more.
@@OffMyShelves I really hear what you are saying. I am constantly struggling with that balance!
On one hand the "need" for all those things you mention makes each video that much more effort- and time consuming. At the same time, I like the difference they (usually) make, and I also like learning about them. But then I don't actually want to do them! 😁
A lighter type of video is definitely a great idea, relaxing more is ALWAYS a great idea, and I am going to see if I can learn something from you.
I think you'll keep playing with the widescreen to find angles/compositions you like more and more.
It makes for a nice variation and is something I am trying from time to time as well.
But I have to say that as much as I like the vibrance and contrast of the colours here, I also liked the more low-contrast, muted-colours look you had in your earlier videos. It gave your videos a particular look and unique identity. But most of all I just appreciate the trying out of new and interesting stuff when you could just have stuck to one thing.
A comic book/book channel dedicated to talking about the books. Definitely refreshing.
@@JernosComicsPopCulture thank you very much indeed!
LOVE the videos man! Love the reviews! Keep it up!
@@Goldmouf_leor thank you very much! Much appreciated!
Loved to hear you mention Master Keaton! Totally agree with your assessment - a pleasant series, nothing more nothing less!
Happy to mention anything Urasawa related! 👍✌️
I've got all of Master Keaton and BPRD in my to be read shelves as well. Trying to jump into some Tardi crime books now and work through but there are well over 200 collected editions waiting to be read! Yikes.
@@peterlinfield yikes indeed! The Tardi crime books with Manchette I enjoyed. Gonna pick up the POW stories next. And it goes without saying BPRD before Keaton!
It's August, Chris 😂
(Just teasing 💜)
Ah April, I was reading more then. I've let things go a bit the last couple of months and been buying more than I've been reading 🙈
Part of that was collecting stuff before reading through it properly though, so I've finally got all issues of the Sweat & Soap manga and am working through that at the moment.
Oh, also recently read the first volume of Friday (Brubaker) and really enjoyed it, so will be on the lookout for volume 2.
@@daxhalo I thought it was May!! 😂 you’ll get back in the swing of it soon I’ve no doubt; mine slowed a bit in June July too but it’s picked right back up now. I love Martin’s art in Friday and other places and I’m saving that story for the eventual all in one edition that will no doubt be along soon. ✌️
I am really missing your videos. Great to see another one. I’ll have to change the bell to alert when your video drops all the time
@@medos3 thank you loads! Very kind! 🙏
I’m trying to hold fire on the BPRD omni’s purely from a cost point of view. I did have all the trades way back and thoroughly enjoyed them all…so I just may have to pull the pin on that lot! Great to see you back 🤙🏼
@@paulhills1816 thank you! When you get round to them I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Great stuff as usual. I could comment how 3 months between videos is unfair for your fans. Especially your no.1 fan. I could comment that but I won't. Clear to see you've been very busy reading some outstanding quality stories. I had a sneaky peak on Goodreads and looking to forward to mays overview.
@@Philly_Phiction thank you brother! Don’t worry I l’ll catch up quick on the missed months.
