Back by semi-popular demand! (okay, it was one request, but a request is a request...)

Let's talk about all the books you've been reading in an attempt to impress your uninterested friends! :ugeek:

Huerta said he picked up Rise of the Governor at SDCC. Anyone else got it yet?

That's really freakin' early. It's supposed to be out on October 11- if Huerta got a copy, that's some kind of miracle.

I thought that's what he said.

I bought so Invincible singles that I was missing, Walking Dead Novel (cant wait to read it), Super Dinosaur #1, Guarding the Globe #5, some graffiti stickers, Jeff CHAMBA Cruz's Randomveus, some Ryan Ottley page breakdowns, a shirt and some other stuff.

I was planning on getting some sketchbooks but the roster at artist Alley wasn't that great this year and I was too tired to search for my favorite artists. Next time, tho and I also need to hit up NYCC.

No that's gotta be it. Maybe Madman got it too.

So Euge we were talking about Phillip K Dick before the "Big Crash" ( Dick would no doubt see a conspiracy theory in that.)

If you're familiar with Blade Runner you're familiar with Phillip K Dick, it's based on his novel "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" You would probably dig him. He's one of the most "literary" sci fi writers. He writes sci fi novels with social and political commentary and subtle satire that doesn't always come across in film adaptations of his work. Other good books by Dick are "The Man In The High Castle", "Dr Bloodmoney" and "A Scanner Darkly" which was just one of his other stories adapted into films. Some of his other stuff that was adapted was "Minority Report" and "Total Recall".
