User Reviews ar-- ALBATROSS!

Ah, excuse me Mr. Flannagan, what flavors do you have? Did someone else enjoy the IFC Python-a-thon last week a bit too much? Personally, wasn't as impressed with Dark Avengers.  Kind of hoping this ends soon along with Dark Reign.

BREAKING NEWS: Disney to Acquire Marvel

On Aug 31, 2009 10:01 AM

Folks, don't worry about the comics; no previous owner ever exercised heavy content control there, I don't see Disney wanting to. Especially since publishing is "over there" and not the most visible part to the general public. I also don't see the movies getting worked over too much either- excepting the romp in the sack, "Iron Man" didn't have any content you wouldn't see in "Tron". Also, Ma...

Keep That Slump Coming

On Aug 17, 2009 11:30 AM

Going back and looking at the numbers, here's a POTW breakdown for the year to date: DC= 13 (3 repeat appearances with B&R, Scalped, and JSA; majority belong to Bat family); Marvel= 10 (1 reapeat appearance in ASM not counting "Short Halloween"); Image= 4; Other= 5 (1 repeat in G.I. Joe: Cobra).  So, to dispell one myth, the iFanboy triumvirate does not crap on Marvel boo...

The Best of the Week in... Covers (08/12/09)

On Aug 13, 2009 3:03 PM

Spider-Man looks almost like he's rendered in the chibi style, though his head would have to be bigger to really fall into that category.  It makes me think this would be a kids' book. I totally agree on the DMZ cover, though.  I don't buy the book, but it definitely caught my attention in the store yesterday.

For This, I Say "Thank You, Rob Liefeld."

On Aug 11, 2009 4:11 PM

I'm not sure what's worse- what this guy did or those on the blogsite praising what he did.  Some are saying, "It's just saying to his face what we all say inside the LCS," and, in a Misanthrope kind of way this is true.  But there's a reason why we do it this way and don't insult the folks to their faces- there's a thing called a Social Contract, and if we don't follow i...

The iFanboy Letter Column - 08/07/2009

On Aug 7, 2009 1:09 PM

@Ron and Tom: While Incredible Hercules spun out of World War Hulk, and the idea was that it was just Incred. Hulk renamed, it's about as much a Hulk book as say, Amazing Spider-Man, which is to say, not really.  Amadeus Cho's involvement is really the only thing keeping it in the Hulk family, and with the exception of a back-up in a recent issue, his relationship with Banner hasn't been ...

08.09.2009 - 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra'

On Aug 7, 2009 3:00 AM

@jorel3459- that's because when you last saw Ripcord, he was white.  He had a decent length storyline in the Marvel series, replacing Zartan and getting replaced by Zartan.  Hijinks ensued!

Richard Starks Parker The Hunter Hc

On Aug 3, 2009 3:00 AM

I'm looking forward to getting this.  I just started reading his collection of Bat-verse stories from 2007 and he talks about naming "Stark" in "Selina's Big Score" after Richard Stark and that Stark was sort of modeled on Lee Marvin in "Point Blank," a film adaptation of Stark's work; also, his description of his favorite comic issue (Detective #439) sounds a...
