My CBR Shame

So I'm a little slow, sue me.

Fascinatingly, Todd takes over the writing with issue 20 and I can't tell the difference. There are a few less 'fratakta yaddaddas', it's a lot nastier in places, but it's the same tough police-procedural kind of thing. Bendis gets no credits at all, so either a) Todd pulled a fast one and failed to credit his input, b) Alex Maleev does ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING and Bendis is the archetypal writer being propped up by his artists, or c) this noir stuff is DEAD EASY if you've got a copy of David Simon's 'Homicide' and a few DVDs handy. Or d) Todd's a talented writer, which is certainly possible.

Download a t0rr3nt client (I use Azureus, but others use utorrent or BitComet). Azureus has a really good help wiki, you might need to open a port to get it to work as quickly as you might want and using the recommended settings re: number of active t0rr3nts etc.

Step 2

Visit a t0rr3nt host site. ZCult FM is still held to be the best, no? To register you need to validate your email address by replying to a message and posting in the Introduce Yourself thread. That's as complicated as it is.

Step 3

Find teh t0rr3nt you want. Download the t0rr3nt file, which is tiny. Your client does all the complicated stuff from there on, all you need to do is nominate the save folder.

Aldo, thanks for infoes.

which is the current page of an Indonesian site where people seem to get everything off DC++ and then upload it to most file-sharing sites known to man. Worth a look.

uh, new site for M@rv3ls anyone? Hit me by userprofilemail.

It's down at the moment, but pretty much everything usually turns up at
http://rapidsearch.yi.org/?

just type cbr into the search box

Yeah, that's what I've been using lately, but like you say, it's down right now.

It's now back.

I use www.h33t.com (actual site address, not google-proofed)

There's a small but pretty committed bunch of uploaders there, a lot of the fallout of Demonoid ended up there, including the guys who are seeding the Marvel & DC chronologies and of course the weekly DCP.

Also it's free membership and they have a good, healthy attitiude towards seeding/leeching.

If anyone would like to trade, mail me.

Do I have the patience to get Pep Comics #1-65, one file at a time?

I would, or at least for the issues (1-17?) with The Comet in them.

Urgh I have spent the last fortnight catching up on four months comics. My findings are that comics suck, or they're briefly good until Gale Simone stops writing them suddenly.

Just moved 4 GB of unread things that seemed like great ideas at the time onto DVD so I can forget about them entirely.

So what CBR programme do my fellow Mac users rely on? I'm having real problems with Jomic, it corrupts somehow and unistalls itself every time I shut down. I tried Comical for a bit, but that was even worse, prone to crashing mid-comic.

I use Simple Comic.

I ponied up for ComicBookLover. Can't remember a crash or any problems whatsoever. There is a trial version that puts a little logo in the corner while you're trying it out.

Thanks fellas. So far so good with Simple Comic.

I use ComicBookLover too. It's like iTunes for comics. Totally worth it.

Simple Comic is great!

Thirding ComicBookLover

Simple Comic is great!

Yeah, I like it so well I actually gave the guy a donation for his donationware, which I'm not the best about doing.

So, uh, why the hell was Bl@ck P@nther 6 skipped last week?!

revive

I can't remember if DCM has ever been mentioned on ILC.

http://www.digitalcomicmuseum.com/

oh cool.

I may have mentioned it before and totally forgotten about it. When I tried to register just now, I found out I'd already registered with that email address a couple of years ago.

I know I've seen it before but somehow didn't bookmark it.

Infinity Trousers

Don't know wtf I was thinking, but I acquired 3 gigs of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos scans.

i wouldn't mind!

One very low-priority goal I've had is to collect every Marvel from FF#1 until Shooter took over as Ed-in-Chief... but most of these are so bad. Even the early Kirby ones. I probably won't keep them.
