Looking for comics comparable to Mighty Boosh and/or Snuff Box - any suggestions?

If you are not completely satisfied, I will buy them from you for what you paid.

Because the original 90s (Liefeld!) run was 1 - 20. Even though it's a reboot, they decided not to renumber.

Get Casanova. The first tpb is like $12 on Amazon.

You will not regret it.

Yeah I know what Robert Llewellyn looks like (my username is a Red Dwarf reference for smeg's sake). I was just poking fun at the rather odd wording.

or better, /r/beeriadolia (yes it actually exists)

What does he look like in-costume then?

It's a controversial topic, so it's not really surprising.

We won't know when it's coming until we get the definitive word from scottg's mom's piano student.

"Medicine" is a very vague term and one that's generally not used in practice. And your definition leads to all sorts of trouble.^footnote

If you mean "drug" or "drug product" then the reason is that drug products are legally required to be regulated. They are a very specific molecule or combination of molecules, in very exact concentrations, in a dosage form that delivers these molecules in a predictable way. These products are tested extensively for efficacy and safety.

An herbal supplement, on the other hand, is when you take some plants, grind them up, and shove them into a capsule. They are not required to undergo the safety & efficacy testing before being released to market, they do not contain uniform concentrations of active compounds, and their distribution is highly unpredictable.

footnote: Alcohol has a proven effect of sedation and cognitive impairment. Does that make it medicine? What about substances with proven negative effects like carcinogenic compounds? A snickers bar can be used to treat hypoglycemia. Does that make it medicine?

The reason they are still considered alternative is that they are not recommended by recognized guidelines.

Until the AHA puts out a guideline for the use of Red Yeast Rice for lipid-lowering therapy, it will be labeled alternative, regardless of what the clinical data may suggest.

I would disagree with your last point. When it comes to herbal supplements, many of them do contain real benefits that have been proven in clinical trials.

The problem is that many of them are impossible to standardize without isolating the active compounds and therefore making a drug product rather than an herbal product. It is impossible to know the concentrations or quantities of these compounds present in an herbal supplement product. Furthermore, these products are not regulated, so on top of the variation of concentrations of compounds in organic tissues, there is no assurance that the supplement even contains what the label says it will. It is for this reason that most pharmacists are distrustful of herbal supplements, and not that we think herbs/supplements lack therapeutic effect or that we are trying to protect our industry from the incursion of competing "natural" products.

I liked it more than I expected to. I haven't read any Batman Inc. before and I am somewhat skeptical of the concept. Why does Batman need more Batmen? The Justice League isn't enough to save the world, but a bunch of Bat-knockoffs are?

Still, this issue was good, maybe because Batman Inc. Was barely involved. This was a Batman & Robin story.

The art was good. I especially liked the page where the story was told on the sides of buildings.

I do feel like the New 52 is relying a bit too much on "shock" endings in their #1 issues. This reminded me a bit too much of the "Joker's Face" splash from Detective Comics #1. Why kill Robin in issue #1? Does anyone actually believe Damian is dead and won't be back to status quo 3 issues from now?

Anyway, the meat locker scenes were bit gross for me, but I did like bat-cow and hope she gets to play a larger role.

I'll get #2 and see if I get #3 from there.

when we developed this trait, most objects were probably made of wood, bone, skins, and other porous materials that are easier to grasp with sweaty hands. We wouldn't have had any steel, glass, plastic, or other slippery materials.

Batman knows the most absorbent skin on the body is the scrotum [source (PDF)], and keeps a steaming cup of joe in his jock at all times.

Amazing Spider-Man #686 Ends of the Earth has been a fantastic arc so far. Loving it.

Batman Incorporated #1 Review group pick. Never read Batman Inc., so I hope it's a good jumping on point.

Chew #26 Good god yes. More Chew.

Fantastic Four #606 I really liked 605.1 last week, so I'm giving F4 another round.

Mind MGMT #1 I already read this one this morning. Absolutely blown away. It's wonderful. Don't trade-wait on this one. The monthlies have tons of bonuses that won't be in the tpb.

Prophet #25 My second favorite Image series right now (after Chew). I like it more than Saga. It's that goddamn good.

Rachel Rising #8 Forgot this one due to poor list management, whoops.

Rebel Blood #3 Still really impressed by this mini.

Resident Alien #1 I dug the shorts in Dark Horse Presents. Now it's time to see if it works as a monthly. Curiosity purchase.

EDIT: Added Rachel Rising #8

What? I'm sure gay people have a lot if trouble growing up. It would be great to tell that story. Most people remember hardships from their childhoods.
