It's Been 100 Days, Let's Chat (and a Mini Haul)

[@Ping_pong_lewis]

Hey Bunk! To answer your question, I watched this while cooking dinner! Would love some videos about your current pull list and great indie series to be on lookout for when I go to my LCS

[@bunkmastab]

@@Ping_pong_lewis Long time no see! Hope dinner was tasty and you've been checking out some good ethics texts. My next video I'm doing is "the 10 best series I read on my KZbin break", so that kind of video is coming soon! Appreciate you checking this out

[@jacobklimoski3673]

I have seen you on the other channels that you talked about and am finally over here. Look forward to more content. I've been trying to read through longer stories (Sandman, Preacher, now on The Boys) but, finding time to read is tough. Whatever you wanna showcase on here, whether its reviews/overviews, new books you're looking forward to, books that you would like to re-read, not-talked-about books (always interesting) or whatever, I'm here for it! Welcome back!

[@bunkmastab]

Thank you so much! I'm very lucky to have some great friends in the KZbin Comic Community, probably my favorite thing about having the channel is getting to have really fun conversations with other fun comic KZbinrs about great books. And I hear you on the finding time to read, I've got two small kids and most of my reading time goes to reading with them. Sandman is one of my favorite series and is absolutely worth the time you put into to read!

[@NeuroSquire]

Welcome back. The vids I’ve liked the most from you and would love to see more of are reviews of lesser know comics that may not have yet gotten the spotlight.

[@bunkmastab]

@@NeuroSquire Glad to hear you enjoy the lesser known spotlights! I will make sure to keep shouting out the books I've been loving that aren't getting as much attention as they deserve

[@Bhakti_Keys]

Great finds. Midnight Nation has not been on my radar, but you sold me on it. A Rachel Rising review/overview would be cool to see in the fall. I adore that book. My wife read it too and loved it. Read it digitally and then got the HC omnibus, met Terry at the Denver Pop Culture Expo and got it signed. I may do a re-read this October.

[@bunkmastab]

I'd definitely suggest checking out Midnight Nation however you can, definitely don't need to jump right into the big oversize edition. Rachel Rising is actually one I haven't finished yet. I have the softcover omni (can we all agree to just call those compendiums?) and read the first 120 pages or so but the character voices weren't really landing with me again. I'll be trying it again this year, I've heard nothing but praise for that book from everyone who's read it. Thanks for checking this out!

[@sazmurph540]

Say his name and Bunk appears! Glad you're back! Nice pickups. The Midnight Nation is a hidden gem that I had forgotten about. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing JMS titles get some new editions out, including Rising Stars. I enjoyed Die which is probably due to me playing D&D back in high school. I've enjoyed your reviews in the past for books that aren't necessarily mainstream, that can slip under the radar so that would be my vote.

[@bunkmastab]

WAVE YOUR HANDS FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND SAY! Appreciate you checking this out. I definitely have a D&D background myself and enjoyed a lot about Die, it was really the end of it that kind of threw me and left me a little underwhelmed. I had the first volume and loved it's combination of horror and fantasy to tell the story of a realm after the heroes go home. I'll definitely be highlighting some under the radar books coming up, hope they land with you!

[@LiteratureInPictures]

Great haul. I’ve been re-reading a lot of Loeb and Sale lately. I’ll tell you next week what else I’ve been up to.

[@bunkmastab]

Excited for that! Though I feel like there might be some other books we talk about more than those . . .

[@TylerSmith-vt7bq]

Welcome back! Midnight Nation is fantastic!

[@bunkmastab]

I feel like there are two kinds of comic readers: people who love Midnight Nation and people who haven't heard of it yet. It's been a few years since I've read it and I can't wait to reread it. Hope everything is going well with you!

[@TylerSmith-vt7bq]

@@bunkmastab Hope all is well with you all!

[@elanrhys3178]

Hunkmasta V on Tank Tops is back baby!!!

[@bunkmastab]

You know what's funny, I feel like this is my first video on my own channel that I'm wearing a tanktop (outside of shorts and the Vermont video which was really more of a travel log), there are theoretically people who have never watched any of the livestreams and are going "why's this dude wearing a tanktop?

[@elanrhys3178]

😂😂

[@vrblknch1]

I'm still trying to figure out if our comic tastes align. I'm not sure they will/do but I'm only like 3 videos deep. About to lock in and will circle back...

[@bunkmastab]

Ha, totally fair! I appreciate you checking out my videos, and no worries if it's not your thing. What books have you been enjoying recently?

[@blurjose]

Those are some seriously good finds at great prices. And hey, I'll be unpopular and say: I don't love Kirkman's stuff. I don't dislike it but...just not something I tend to buy. More things that I read digitally from the library.

[@bunkmastab]

I totally get that feeling on Kirkman, I actually own very little before picking up these Invincible Hardcovers. For the most part, I feel like he rights very enjoyable comics that are satisfying in the moment but don't always last with me. That said, I think he's really good at some things, ESPECIALLY the big reveal coming off of a page turn, which I think in a medium like comics is a real skill that can absolutely lead to amazing moments. But for the most part, I think Kikman is a digital/library read for me.

[@comicartchannel]

Glad to see you back on your channel! Picked up Die the same way but yet to crack it open. You must finish Monsters. One of the greatest comics ever imo.

[@bunkmastab]

Thank you! On Monsters, you ever feel like when you know something is so good and so well done that there's almost a pressure to start it? That's the way I feel with Monsters, there was a weight to it that it needed to be appreciated in the right way. Now that I have it and it doesn't need to go back to the library, I'm excited to get over that and actually check it out. Do you have any BWS pages in the collection?

[@comicartchannel]

@@bunkmastab had a BWS painting but it's about to be auctioned at Heritage next week. Would love a Monsters page but he's not selling as of now

[@fireboy312002]

I thought we replace him... OH HI BUNK! Haha, you do realize we just enjoy ya. I can't imagine there is any pressure besides James.

[@bunkmastab]

I don't even know what replacing me would look like. Is that when an animated tank top just talks about how good Craig Thompson books are? Dang, I'd watch that.

[@CarlsCollection]

Welcome back! Summer time with the fam is wonderful, but isn’t it grand when the schedule returns to “normal” during the school year? I’m looking forward to you placing some new comics on my radar, just please make sure the art was either done digitally or is just very unappealing, I don’t need that temptation! I’ve had a busy art buying summer & the fall isn’t looking much better! 😂

[@bunkmastab]

@@CarlsCollection Summer is the best, but I'm always relieved to go back to normal. You mentioned going up to the lake with the family recently, we hit up Upstate Michigan and some of the beaches up there were absolutely beautiful! My next video is "the 10 best series I read on my KZbin break" (title subject to change), I'll make sure to filter through the list and only highlight digital artists. Although a Lonergan series is getting a shoutout, but that doesn't matter now that you have that Turtles page

Welcome back to uploads Bunk 💪

[@bunkmastab]

Thank you, sir! If I quit my job and shipped my kids off to boarding school, I could still never come close to your upload schedule but it's nice to get back into the habit, we'll see what happens as that habit builds.

[@TheComicBookReport]

@@bunkmastab well I for one and looking forward to it 💪

[@OmniNationComics]

BUNNNNNNK ! So great to see you bro. We need that overview Mighty Morphin Book three.

[@bunkmastab]

DDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY DDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! I'll be honest man, Book 3 completely snuck up on me. I could have sworn it was coming out in November, just realized it's coming out next week! As soon as I get that book I'll be doing an overview along with some other stuff like the promised reading order and my thoughts on each of the different eras now that the series is over. When are we getting that OmniNation x Omnidog show? The internet demands it!

[@OmniNationComics]

@@bunkmastab it’s out now bro ! Go get it haha ! Yeah I’ll hit up Jess soon. 😉

[@bunkmastab]

@@OmniNationComics.... order placed, you're getting a shoutout on the overview video. Literally had no idea it came out on Wednesday

[@OmniNationComics]

@@bunkmastab I’m glad I can help bro. :)

[@rosswilson8917]

Review Nottingham from Mad Cave Studious it's really good.

[@bunkmastab]

That one's been on my list to read for a while! Mad Cave has been killing it this year, I've really been enjoying what they've been putting out, definitely want to check out some of the publishers older stories

[@deathtone1614]

Great haul, Bunk.

[@bunkmastab]

@@deathtone1614 Thank you! Was very much intending on walking out with just the books on my pull, but I can't say to a pile of discount books! Hope things are going well and you're getting to turn cards sideways!

[@deathtone1614]

Things are going well on my end. Think I might have found someone to turn cards sideways with. That and there’s a book club I might partake in. (Not the mail order kind)

[@Sharifuddin_Anwar]

That Midnight Nation slipcase edition for just $20 is a STEAL!

[@bunkmastab]

Right?! I couldn't believe that was there, that was absolutely the first book I grabbed.

What lcs you go to. I got nothing like that

[@bunkmastab]

Ha, it's definitely not normally like this but they've done things like this in the past. There was one day a few years back where they had stacks of $40 omnibus. The shop is Carol and John's Comic Shop in Cleveland, OH. Worth checking out if you're ever in the area!
