Great Moments in Comics History: Alias #1

On Nov 20, 2009 9:00 AM

Love the series, but have to admit the talking door set up of the initial issue did not have the pay off I expected.  I guess it's kind of like that first issue of Y The Last Man where you thought the series would be about why all the men died, and it turned out the whole thing was about Yorick's growth as a man.  In the end, I'm content that Alias chronicled the epic journey of Jessi...

@Slockhart making a costume from the speed force was used in the Morrison/Millar run.  At this point, the speed force basically does whatever the writer wants it to.  It's like God in a very fast machine.

Great Moments in Comics History: Avengers #8

The Will vs. The Fear

Nice article.  A good person to read on this subject is Joan Acocella, the New Yorker critic.  Her basic theory is that hard work is the essential component to artistic success.  Lots of people have good ideas; not everyone's putting them down, getting them out, getting rejected, and putting them out again.

I have to blame Kevin Smith for all of this.  Ever since the "workers on the death star" Clerks speech, it's tough to see massive/random henchmen killing as anything but either reprehensible or humorous.
