I'm stoked that Invincible #50 is finally coming out, and for the new arc of Action Comics , hopefully Johns keeps knocking it out of the park.  It's kind of freakish how in tune he is with DC characters. Bonus Question:  The Carrizo Plain National Monument.  It's (I think) the next valley over from Death Valley, and it was extraordinarily hot.  103 as I recall, but I c...

I think a lot of the problem with the movie industry is that once they find a new horse to ride the flog it to death.  Right now that horse is comic books.  Like Neb above me said, comics is sort of a proving ground for ideas.  And superheroes are basically the comics equivalent of summer blockbusters.  So while I can't fault movie executives for looking to the comics world...

Oh, I definitely saw worse than 'Enemy of the State' to watch the Episode 1 trailer.  I watched it in front of the Adam Sandler masterpiece 'The Waterboy'.  At least I got a few laughs out of it, what can I say... I like stupid comedies.

A small week chock full o' goodness for me.  Only 5 books this week, probably I'm most looking forward to Captain America.  Ghost Rider's climbing the charts though, that's just a fun book.    Bonus Question: Probably about the same.  Somewhere in the 40-45 hour range.

He's not really a cop anymore in the show, but Adrian Monk might be my favorite.  Followed closely by Andy Taylor.

I always think this same thing when people say "______ sucked.  It was a terrible book/comic/movie."  I mean sometimes it's simply just true, but more often than not it's just the reviewers biased opinion.  It just gets on my nerves when people portray their opinion as fact, and also portray the collective opinion of others as simply stupid.  One of my roommates do...

What an excellent 5 pages to choose for a preview.  They don't spoil anything, but they leave you very (in my case VERY) intrigued.  I never read Strangers in Paradise, so I probably would have passed this by had I not seen this preview.  Now I have yet another book to buy.  I wish I had a real job, my pull list is getting too darn big for a grad-student paycheck.

I can't remember what podcast it was on, CGS I think, but I heard an interview with this guy and he attended one of those "steeped in the Greek tradition" Southern schools, and most of the stuff that he put into this book were things that he heard from girls he knew/dated that were in sororities.  So I think SteveM is probably correct in that the contents of this comic are probab...

I'm guessing Josh.  And beards are where it's at man.  I find stuff in there that I lost days ago.  I once got locked out of my house only to hear some jingling, and dig my spare keys out of my beard.  That was a real life-saver.

Goon #21 is leading the pack right now for me this week.
