Probably going to grab Orc Stain 7 as well, since the series looks great. Will that be easy to jump onto?

Also thinking about getting that Tom Gauld Goliath book and the Steve Gerber Omega the Unknown trade my store has.

Orc Stain is an incredible book. I'd say hop in now and get the trade when it reprints. And I love me some Omega the Unknown.

Man, I need to read that classic Omega, even if it's just for a reference point for the Lethem stuff. Damn, that Lethem run was the sweetness.

Didn't realize Omega the Unknown was that popular. I just recently got my hands on the original 10 issue run in singles. I'm missing numbers 2 and 3, though.

Just an FYI: the first six issues of Orc Stain can be had for $2 a pop digitally if you want to catch up quick. But #7 should be an easy jump-on point regardless.

It's good stuff. Really weird and understated, especially given the time period it was released in. Reading it, you can definitely see where Lethem took the awkward, muted tone and then amplified it.

Man, I love Steve Gerber.

Yeah, I've heard pretty good things about it. I need to track down the missing issues and give it a full read. I hope the big comic store about an hour away has them. They have a huge stock of older issues. Drawers all over the store full of 'em.

INVINCIBLE #89
BATMAN ODYSSEY VOL 2 #5 (OF 7)
SCALPED #56
ORC STAIN #7
UNWRITTEN #34.5
WALKING DEAD #94
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #680
VENOM #13.4

If you're not reading Batman: Odyssey, you should be. It is the most insane thing I've ever read. Last issue, Batman punched an Egyptian God in the face while saying: "A kiss, direct from Mike Tyson". And there are Jazz Wizards. It is insane. Deadman beat up a bunch of trolls with a frying pan. Also, woooooo Orc Stain. It's crazy that guy does every single step of the comic. Really inspiring.

[zebrazygotes]

Orc Stain it is then. Thanks for the info everyone.

As a dude who is loving/can't look away from his Dark Horse Presents trainwreck, "Blood", I can only imagine the beauty that this book is to behold. The ComicsAlliance roundtable a while back definitely got me curious. This might have tipped me over the edge.

As stupid-fun as it seems, I just can't afford to pick up something that's just fun because it's terrible, especially if it means I can't buy something I love that's legit good. Maybe if the library gets it.
