got all excited for half a second about a graphic novel adaptation of wolf hall
― Mordy, Sunday, 28 December 2014 22:40 (nine years ago) link
seems like it would be well suited for an adaptation
― calstars, Sunday, 28 December 2014 22:45 (nine years ago) link
meaning TV or film

ILC was here first, the ILB folks should put "BOOKS WITH JUST TEXT AND NO PICS ED." to their thread.

it's just too much to ask these "books" people to know what board they're on

But I enjoy our usual cycle of "mistaken post about Thomas Paine biography" followed by passive-aggressive rebuttal of comics' worth

That would probably rule out a lot of books, especially nonfiction.

"what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"

Been stuck at home sick for the past week so got into Blacksad and The Wake
I was really put off by the whole furry connotations of Blacksad but it is a gorgeous piece of work
The Wake begins as a stereotypical Eurocomix thing but keeps building the moral ambiguity and craft until by the fifth or sixth vol it's totally cranking
― Brakhage, Monday, 29 December 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link
Wake is pretty good, yes

Going to start a "What are you Watching" on the I Love Game Casting board.
― calstars, Monday, 29 December 2014 23:54 (nine years ago) link
Curious what youse thought about the end of the Wake (potential spoiler - I thought it was a daft cop-out and waste of potential)
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 16:32 (nine years ago) link
First seven-eight issues are terrific tho'
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 16:33 (nine years ago) link
Oh it ends? I'm only up to ... no. 11. They just announced no. 17, so I didn't think it was wrapping up. (Are we talking about the same book? I'm talking about the French one, 'Sillage')
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 22:19 (nine years ago) link
Haha, I'm thinking of some trashy Vertigo comic. Yours sounds better.
