Really great article Sonia.  I have to say that managing expectations for things that we really want is difficult.  At times we get ourselves so worked up about something be it a movie, book, television show that even if it is really good it somehow disappoints us because of how hyped up we have gotten about it.  I know this sounds sad and contrary to a fan mentality but it is&n...

Mike I enjoyed reading your article as well as many of the comments. I have only read the first Starman Omnibus and I recall it taking awhile to read but I wouldn't call my experience with it a slog.  I thought the stories were good and entertaining.  It felt like James Robinson was trying on a new pair of shoes and he was walking around to break them in and get a feel for the charac...

Great read.

I think what most people mean when they say "comic book movie", is super-hero movie.  I think the general public has no idea how many movies are actually based on comic books or graphic novels unless it is a major part of the marketing.  I have had discussions with friends on several occasions about various movies based on comics and they had no idea what the source mat...

I love my DVR if for no other reason that by skipping commercials I can watch more TV in the same amount of time.  I stopped buying DVD's other than movies for my kids because I can't remember the last time I watched any of the hundreds I already own because I am watcing whatever came in the mail on the NetFlix or that I recorded on the DVR.  I started trade waiting because I couldn'...
