This may be old news, but apparently they are making a game outa the Bone series. They got a demo you can play too, I haven't tried it yet though.

EDIT: Well I'm retarded, apparently it came out 2 months ago and is shit.

Yeah. I was really excited about this game until I played the demo. It's not horrible by any means, but the voice acting isn't great and the gameplay feels like it's for toddlers.

Damn. Why is it that every video game adaption of something I like always turns out bland? I guess some things should stick to their original media. Come to think of it, the idea of a Bone game isn't very appealing.

I finished reading the comic last night. Loved it from beginning to end.

I love Bone and it is one of my all-time favorite comics, which is why I wouldn't want to play game based on it fearing that it would tarnish the memories I have for the characters and story.

I read the first three while at a relatives house once, they let me keep the third one. That was a long ass time ago though, I don't really remember much about it at all, how many are there anyway?

IIRC, there are nine books of Bone. Recently though, all of it has been collected into one huge GN called the Bone:One Volume Edition. I highly reconmend getting it.

I recommend you bookmark this site, it's a great resource: http://tplist.millarworld.net/index.html

Scholastic are releasing colour versions of the Bone books, 2 are out so far.

There are also hardcover editions available, of the black and white books, the colour books and the One Volume Edition (the latter was very limited).

The Volume One of Bone? I think I saw it in Walden books one time. Didn't know it was limited. I guess I should pony up the dough as soon as I possibly can.

I think CP is refering to the Hardcover version of the One Volume Edition.

Have you guys looked into the Little Nemo comics? It sounds like the kind of thing you'd be into if for no other reason than the unique and excessively detailed art.

I've been curious about them, but I've heard the complete collection volumes are out of print and hard to come by. The recent "So Many Splendid Sundays!" hardcover, with broadsheet newspaper dimensions looks really beautiful, but is damned expensive at $100-120. That's sold out already too, apparently.

I'll wait until there's an affordable and chronological collection of the series.

I saw the movie several years ago and loved it. But I haven't been able to find it since. I assume it's the same as the comics.

Actually, it was pretty different! But it was a cool movie.

There's 2 complete collections (about $200 each), but neither of them are full sized, which I hear is a travesty. I'd be interested in So many Splendid Sundays, but I can't get a straight answer about what comics it contains. Is it a 'best of', or is it everything between 1905-1910?

How I got into this is a strange story. I started when I was in second grade by looking for an NES game I'd rented. I picked up Little Nemo, thinking it was the same game. I was slightly disappointed to find it was the wrong game, yet at the same time I became inexplicably obsessed with it. Then I heard there was a movie. I've since learned that it was the first anime movie ever given a full release in America (so I've been an anime fan since second grade and never knew it). I was recently trying to track down a sub of it(if anybody knows of one, show me) when I caught the Wikipedia article and learned that it was an amazing comic from the 1900s, that this is it's 100th birthday, and that a collection had been released about a week earlier.

The book contains 125 Sundays from the first five years.

Right. A best of. Forgot to use basic math.

Here's a bone game for you. I call it "Dartboard."

It's when you pass out, perhaps as a result of intoxication, in the same bed as another male, perhaps a roommate. You both happen to be sans pants, and wearing those annoying boxer shorts with no button on the flap, except one person has his boxers on backwards. And then throughout the night of sleep, one guy accidentally happens to roll on top of the other (who is laying on his stomach with his buttonless boxers on backwards), and like hitting a bullseye, accidental surprise anal sex is had.

The uncomfortable talk the next day is called "Dartboard Confessional."
