Was listening to an x-men podcast this morning that was essentially just mocking loebs awful writing for an hour from various spread out parts of his career. Was just taken as read that he was terrible

Yet here his work is always on the recommendation lists

I kind of get it. I bought long Halloween as floppies, Tim Sale had me excited too but the mystery doesn’t really hang together and everything since has been progressively worse. People are a bit more grudging and mixed about hush. But it’s also still something people recommend

Often Nice art and it’s a visual medium so I can see reasons to read his stuff for the art but it seems to be more actual approval amongst Batman fans than elsewhere.

Last night I read the king tut storyline (because of a post on here) and the one off issue 49 which is genuinely one of the best standalone Batman as detective stories I’ve read. Really great issue

The writers on the others I’ve looked at are not really people who inspire me to check them but to be honest the ones on those stories weren’t either and they were great

Anyone got any others they really like

Sorry if this isn’t the place. Anyone know of a sub about actively going to see great paintings.

Anyway I’m planning some trips for next year and Paris and Munich are options. The neue pinakothek and the Pompidou centre are both closed for long term renovations.

It’s possible to find some details about alternate viewing options for the Munich collection, obviously it’s not everything but there seem to be quite a few things on show and presumably the best known stuff will be amongst them

Still possibly a shame to miss out on the rest of course

I’m finding it very hard to work out what’s still viewable in Paris from the Pompidou. The Kandinskys in particular are a major part of my decision making about where to go

Anyone have any recent experience of seeing stuff from the Pompidou while it’s closed. I know the Pompidou has a bunch of satellite museums in other countries

Obviously there’s still tons to see in both cities and but just trying to plan the best times.

Hoping to visit for a long weekend in a few months from south wales

Plan is to fly in on the Thursday Probably go to Edinburgh and back by train on the Friday and spend Saturday and most of Sunday in Glasgow

I’d really like to visit the kelvingrove museum. The Burrell collection and the hunterin around Glasgow (and maybe gallery of modern art)

Edinburgh would be the national gallery of Scotland and the national gallery modern.

I think the Edinburgh ones are quite close together and I tend to be a fairly quick viewer who has things he wants to see rather than someone who takes ages on each painting

How easy would it be to do the kelvingrove and hunterin in a single day

Also is the airport to polok house/burrel collection fairly easily done if I arrive at the airport at say 11/12 in the morning. Public transport or uber I guess.

Also if I have a spare three or four hours are there any other good art destinations?

Hope someone can help with logistics.

Big comics reader wanting to try a few manga I get recommended online. Largely old stuff like vinland saga or full metal alchemist. I already pay for Marvel unlimited. Dc infinite and global comix

Got the webtoons app (android) and read the first chapter of full metal alchemist.

I don’t mind watching ads or waiting to read for chapters but won’t be buying coins as I have hundreds of thousands of American comics available
On the services I am paying for and don’t want to pay for any one specific comic

Is it possible to just slowly read an older series through to the end for free or will you definitely have to pay at some point. (Again watching ads is fine)
