A Descent into Dullness

Just downloaded the 6th "Shadows of the Apt" book, Sea Watch to my Kindle from Amazon. The 5th book, the Scarab Path, still not available either on the kindle or as anything but a pre-order...

School mural encourages racism because it has non-white people in it. For the sake of maintaining sanity avoid reading the comments...

I go back to sleep and scans_daily gets suspended? What did you people do?!?

ETA: Well, according to kali921 and box_in_the_box and others, Peter David threw a bitch fit to Marvel over learning about scans of his latest issue of X-Factor. And so LJ abuse took it down for copyright violation. I'd say I'll never buy David's books again, but I haven't bought anything of his since Young Justice and his 90s X-Factor anyway...

Still this sucks. About half my decisions on picking up a new book came after seeing something cool on scans_daily. Blue Beetle, Avengers: The Initiative, my hardback trades for Runaways and Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane. Maybe David and others can go after Sims and other comics bloggers who review comics to take down the people who influence that other half...

scans_daily had a lot of whiny bullshit on it, just like any internet community. But I've found several friends and cool journals thru it in addition to new comics. I've enjoyed seeing the occasional creator get involved in the discussion of a comic. From Gail Simone to Dan Slott to Warren Ellis to McKelvie and Gillen...

I understand there is a version of the community on InsaneJournal. So congrats LJ, you've encouraged me to find one MORE reason to use my IJ more often...
