(13:10:12) Lalo: Why do I read comics?
(13:10:42) 美: because you're a dork. Any inteligent person would had quit by now.
(13:10:59) 美: *beats DC and Marvel*
(13:11:56) Lalo: Kord is alive, Bucky is alive, Uncle Ben was alive for a while there, Barry Allen is alive, Supergirl is alive (if a little brain-dead), Peter Parker never married... what's next, the Waynes?
(13:12:38) 美: You're late. I made this joke more than 12 hours ago.
(13:14:44) 美: that's why I only read Tek Jansen.
(13:15:28) 美: I'm seriously tired of comics.
(13:15:38) 美: I don't enjoy reading it anymore.
(13:16:13) Lalo: I suppose I still enjoy looking for the diamonds in the middle of the shit
(13:16:36) Lalo: Morrison still writes some pretty fucked up stuff now and then, but you have to read everything he writes to catch it
(13:16:38) 美: I stopped giving a fuck long ago.
(13:17:11) 美: it demands energy I prefer devoting to books at this point in my life :/
(13:17:17) Lalo: Fables is awesome, Booster Gold is hilarious (except that the last storyline just isn't working), Blue Beetle is BSG-cool
(13:18:04) 美: :P
(13:19:55) 美: As I said, one shit too many.
(13:20:23) 美: or should I say one ton of shit too many?
(13:20:36) Lalo: Well, if they keep trying this hard, I suppose I'll get to that point too
(13:21:02) 美: no, you won't.
(13:21:08) 美: You'll be the last reader.
(13:21:12) 美: srsly man.
(13:21:50) 美: You'll only quit this shit in your grave.
(13:21:54) 美: XD
(13:23:00) Lalo: well, I'm going to blog this entire conversation.
(13:23:29) 美: hahahahah then let it be said that comics is your crack.
(13:24:26) 美: It will eventually kill you, but you won't be able to quit it. XD
(13:25:01) Lalo: Thanks, you just gave the post a title too :-P
(13:25:24) 美: I'm that nice to you, you know.
(13:26:33) 美: Wanna talk more with an ex-addicted? XD
(13:26:44) Lalo: bout what?
(13:28:47) 美: About comics, duh. Holy shit, did it kill all your brain cells already? Would explain why the fuck you keep reading.
(13:32:01) Lalo: I mean, hmm
(13:35:31) 美: You can always tell me about the worst titles you've read. I know I'm a masochist.
(13:35:38) Lalo: lol
(13:35:57) Lalo: Well, hmm... Jim Starlin is clearly a skrull
(13:36:29) Lalo: the man who wrote all those awesome comics in the 70s and 80s must be imprisoned in some skrull dungeon with the real Chris Claremont
(13:37:04) 美: (that actually reminds me of the blog idea you had. :P)
(13:38:17) Lalo: Death of the New Gods was impossibly dumb, and Countdown was mindfuckingly bad; but their individual stupidity was compounded by the fact that the two endings, already ridiculous enough, were incompatible with each other.
(13:38:59) Lalo: In DONG (that's the best acronym for a bad book ever), Darkseid collects the souls of all New Gods and takes on the Source; then leaves for Earth for unknown reasons, and the mini is over.
(13:39:31) 美: Hahahahahhahah, Dong XD
(13:39:51) Lalo: In C2FC, he gets to Earth to recover the souls which were stored in Jimmy Olsen, but Ray Palmer destroys the "soul battery" (?!?!?) before he can recover them; then Orion shows up and kicks his ass.
(13:39:58) Lalo: hmmmmmmmmmmmm... yeah, ok.
(13:40:22) Lalo: Hyperflies, you know.
(13:40:25) 美: Wait a sec. Orion?
(13:41:04) Lalo: Yeah, Darkseid's son who was according to prophecies supposed to kill him one day
(13:41:10) Lalo: And he did
(13:41:20) 美: C2FC? Sounds like a Star Wars droid.
(13:41:31) Lalo: "Countdown 2 Final Crisis"
(13:42:06) 美: Ah, ok. *point to the DONG* He walked with the New Gods, right?
(13:42:36) Lalo: Yeah, he was raised in New Genesis by the Highfather. Dude in red spandex and silver helmet with a sun in the forehead.
(13:42:56) 美: and by walk I mean 'holy shit, I'm sleepy I can't speak english anymore.'
(13:42:59) Lalo: To add insult to injury, after those two stupid and incompatible endings, we'll be having Final Crisis, which starts from the premise that Darkseid "won" (won what?) and is now all-powerful. eeeeeeeeeeeer... WTF?
(13:43:06) 美: I remember. Very gay.
(13:43:18) ***Lalo headdesks
(13:43:29) 美: hhahaahhaahhahaah, we should start discussing comics in LOLspeak, man! \o/
(13:44:46) Lalo: Oh, and minor annoying detail, the end of this "story" in C2FC #2 was out two weeks before its buildup in DONG #8. I think someone took the backwards numbering of C2FC a bit too far...
(13:45:24) 美: Ok, now my brain hurts.
(13:45:30) Lalo: yeah.
