Don't like "filler"? Then you probably don't like comics

Absolutely brilliant column, Conor. If all we had were event issues, in which characters were fleeing from one crisis to the next, we'd never get to see their personalities develop. We'd never see the small moments that define the character. Not every issue or arc should be a game-changer; there needs to be exposition.

A Fly On the Wall at Historic Comics Meetings

On Jun 24, 2008 9:00 AM

Neat topic, Ron.

Full-on man-crushing here. Glad to see that you're part of the iFanboy team. Definitely looking forward to more comics and columns.

Who else is dropping IMMORTAL IRON FIST? Brubaker & Fraction

On Apr 7, 2008 2:40 PM

I'll stick with the book for the moment, mostly because I've been enjoying the story. And, really, it hasn't felt like a Brubaker book to me even a little bit. But it's not like Uncanny has felt like a Brubaker book, either. If the story turns entirely craptacular and the art worsens, then yeah, I'll drop it, but I like the foundation that Bru and Fraction have provided. I'll give the new cre...
