Basic decorum thus observed, I declare this party started.

Injection
I didn't read all of Transmetropolitan, but this comic reminds me more of (what I have read of) The Invisibles...plus some Constantine, maybe? A crew with various skills is assembled and something about un-stagnating the future, which they do via SOMETHIN BAD with some wild techno-magic biz. They hacked up some dark magics? They injected a spell into some code and summoned something into an AI which broke reality in order to shake up the future. Man, just go with it. It's later now, the team broke up, and things bad! Evil spriggans? Maaaagiiiicccc swoooords?
- Awesome art!
- Maria Kilbride!
- *quietly makes swooshy sword noises*
OK
ARE YOU READY
NO PROBABLY NOT; I WASN'T
I'm not sure where to begin.
I saw this at work and snapped a picture, but Luke remembered hearing about it on Harmontown -- apparently this book contributed to D&D being misinterpreted as "satanic." So uh of course I checked that shit out. I haven't finished it yet, but here are some highlights
- This man thinks he is Hardboiled Detective af
- Look at this omfg
- A bulletin board full of pushpins is A MYSTERIOUS PUZZLE
- Almost lets himself get run over by a train
- Pays a guy $50 to run him a D&D game
- (it is hilarious)
- FOR EXAMPLE (emphasis mine):
[when captured by orcs] "...Bound up by characters who give new definition to the word ugly and whose intentions make those of the Nazis seem pure in comparison..."
- Basically falls asleep afterwards (because Hardboiled Detectives™ know that not sleeping helps keep you sharp or something)
- The kid they're looking for was cooking dreeeegs but D&D is the real monster here ok
" [A different (gay) PI Hardboiled is considering bringing aboard] ...'I think I have to go deeper underground, to places where you would never pass muster. Bathhouses, for instance. They make you prove you're gay before they let you in.'
'Prove it?'
'Usually a tryst with the manager.'
'No thanks.' "Oh the eighties, when clubs really made you prove how gay you wait what
Or what about (again, emphasis mine):
"...Searching for an activity that permitted him to escape from an existence he found increasingly unbearable was as inevitable for him as looking for water would be for a man dying of thirst. Predictably, once he found a way out, however temporary, he would want and need more of his "fix," like a junkie craves the needle, until the game was using him, not the other, healthy way around. At this moment he might be playing out the ultimate Dungeons & Dragons game, and that was frightening."
Ok, he has a website, and I'm dying.
That post got long, but I think we all learned some important things, like about how orcs are worse than Nazis.
In conclusion, please pause for a moment to appreciate the following very handsome gentleman:
