Josue
Name: Joe Cannon
Long time comics reader - "The Death of Phoenix" (with Scott & Jean on the cover) was the 1st issue of X-Men I ever read. Loved X-Men & Spider-Man as a kid, along with Micronauts, ROM (hey, I was young) and G.I. Joe (for the 1st twenty issues or so). "Dark Knight" came out when I was in high school & I've been a Batman fan ever since. "Born Again" was the 1st Daredevil series I read & I followed that for years. I stuck with comics all through college & the dreaded 90s, checked out through most of grad school & most of my early professional career but came back with a vengance about two years ago. I'm somewhat of a closeted fan (none of my friends read comics anymore) but my wife is cool with it, so that helps. Reading this site & listening to the podcast is a great outlet because (outside of comic store visits, which are quick) this is the only way I get to talk about my semi-secret hobby.
I-Fanboy turned me onto Y The Last Man & Green Lantern - two comics that couldn't be more different, but I couldn't enjoy more.
Something is coming...

On Mar 10, 2008 9:06 PMOK... I'll say it. I didn't enjoy this at all. Alan Moore's a genius and everything, I loved Watchmen, V for Vendetta, the 1st vol of League of EG ... but this just felt ...indulgent. Kind of like some of David Lynch's last few movies i.e. I'm glad the writer/artist is fascinated with their topic but I'm kinda bored. I'm very impressed with Moore's knowledge of literature but playin...

On Mar 8, 2008 12:52 PMReally enjoyed the show. Very thoughtful and interesting. As a teenager, I really liked Wolverine - particularly reading the Miller miniseries. I always liked that despite all his strength & powers, the one thing he can't seem to master is ... himself. I loved that take on him - the slightly tortured guy who wants to be more than he is. Plus, he had major anger management issues and...

On Mar 5, 2008 10:46 PMGreat pick. I really liked LOGAN, too - especially the ending. I realize that it's nothing revolutionary or anything, but lke Josh, I do love me a good Wolverine story when it's written & drawn by someone with talent and a decent story to tell. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. Any times someone wants to retcon ORIGIN out of existence would be fine by me. I wish this s...

On Mar 3, 2008 6:14 PMReally looking forward to Logan. I just got into "Y the Last Man"(late to the party but better late than never) & want to see what BKV does with Wolvie. I also have an old, inexplicable love for Cable, so I'm looking forward to that against my better judgment. I can still remember being excited about the 1st Cable #1 & thinking the cover looked cool! Ahh, the 90s... Also - ...

On Feb 29, 2008 1:25 AMSteven - I would add a couple of recs. You should read the Holy Trilogy of the 80s: Watchmen, V for Vendetta & the Dark Knight Retruns - classics all. Plus, given your age, you'll remember what the 80s were like poltically & socially which gives all 3 an extra kick. Then after those 3 downers, you could read Kingdom Come for a pick-me-up. ...
