@WinTheWonderboy   Really?  I doubt that.  Look WB has owned DC for years and they've still done things like allow Batman to be killed off, allowed Frank Miller to turn Batman into an abusive kidnapper in All-Star, do The Dark Knight and other books.  They still have nudity and sex in Y: The Last Man, and that's a DC Comics owned by WB.  So why we all assume that Dis...

I was thinking about this today as I tried to shuffle last week's books out of the way so I could pick up this week's.  With my fiancee moving in after our wedding, I'm having to find new ways to handle years worth of comic collecting and have gotten to the point where driving to the nearest children's hospital and dropping off a car load of longboxes is becoming an option. If comics don...

I caught the comment on this week's podcast and it made me laugh.  This was a great article.  I had pretty much left Star Trek behind, since obviously nothing new was coming out and my nerd centre of my brain was being taken up by the comic books that Trek had initially replaced when the '90s chased me away.   How dorky was I?  I wore a Star Trek uniform to high sch...

Saw it, loved it.  Saw it again and noticed stuff I missed (the missing beagle that Scotty transported away being Archer's from Enterprise for example). I saw the GI Joe trailer both times and it just does not look good.  They should have gone realistic, gritty Bourne Identity-like with the GI Joe movie rather than what looks like a bunch of models running around in weird suits...

This sounds excellent.  I'm afraid you've probably just damned yourself to being burried under a sea of scripts, but it was a self-damning. Now to find a good fairy tale to script.

Interesting reviews, I thought it was going to be more savage honestly.  My thoughts after seeing the show and then listening to the podcast.  This is from someone whose only really read the Darwyn Cooke Spirit stories, so I'm not that protective of Eisner. a) it's interesting that one of the things that most people have liked about the film is the 40s' aspect of the banter, which w...

I'm reading this in trades, but it's been a good run so far.  I am at the point where I feel like they've got too many characters for me to care about, but the addition of KC Superman was a good one.  I'll be sad to see him go.  As for the idea of long form story telling, it's rare partially because creators rarely know how long they have on a book.  I'd say that only John...

I'll add my voice to the chorus of people, well at least one, saying "Thank God it wasn't Batman".  I need to go back and pick up the first issues of Nova in trades so I can jump on for an arc or two.  It sounds like the sort of book I'd enjoy, especially after a few of my titles have been getting a little too self-important.

Great list.  The only one I'm not 100% behind is #4, but only because the Authority never did anything for me.  I missed the boat on that one.  I'm sure it was pretty good though. I would have replaced it with The Ultimates/Ultimate Spider-Man both of which I think were a really cool reimagining of the Marvel Universe and went a long way to offering a new reader friendly p...

I think the trade-off is that if you want your book exempt from criticism, then you're book just won't get the press.  Lots of books, Moore's included, have been highlighted on review shows/blogs like iFanboy and found readers they never would have because of positive reviews.  With positive reviews though will come negative ones. Without the potential for negative reviews what crea...
