200 Words with Paul Dini #25 - Thidwicking, Part One

@Paul- How long did it take you to come up with that? :) I like this new word, Thidwick.  It suits my vocabulary very well.  Very well indeed.

08.27.2008 - Daredevil #110

On Aug 27, 2008 6:27 PM

Nice pick.  Daredevil is my favorite character and this arc has been a breath of fresh air.  The mystery was fun, the action was awesome, and he got to hit a federal agent in the face with his billy club.  Also, that scene with the helicopter?  Awesome.

A Look at 'Justice League' - Part Two

On Aug 27, 2008 9:00 AM

JLU is quite possibly one of the great comic book cartoons ever created.  I just finished the final season last week, and was blown away by the whole thing.  I look forward to the write up Conor.

Emo Kid From Krypton and The Future of the Comic Book Movie

On Aug 26, 2008 9:15 AM

A dark Superman is not something that's possible.  It's just out of character.  But I think they need to challenge the character in the movie.  Having him fight something like bank robbers is no good because the stakes aren't there.  But throw him against something that's his opposite (Brainiac, Darkseid, etc.), and that creates tension.  This is why the Batman/Joker d...

Who loves ya, baby? New Comics for 08/27/08 do!

On Aug 25, 2008 4:55 PM

Holy monkey shit.  It's a good thing that the fiance is out of town doing her clinical thing because she would cut my nuts off with a week like this.  Most looking foward to the new FEAR Agent trade, FC tie-ins, and Daredevil Omnibus.  BQ:  I've made it a general policy to not comment nor dwell on looks of other men.  That said, yes.

The Geek Closet

On Aug 25, 2008 11:45 AM

Nicely written. I was visiting my parents back home this weekend, and we were talking about my comics.  My mom said, "Ben, it's ok to sometimes let out your inner geek." I thought, "Inner?"  I've been reading comics, playing video games, and debating the merits of science fiction since I was in first grade.  What's so inner about that?  Parents can be...

The iFanboy Letter Column - 08/22/08!

On Aug 22, 2008 12:00 PM

I find this Batman theory interesting, but what if Thomas Wayne Jr. is the new Red Robin?  From the description of the issue, I don't see much connection as to why Wayne Jr. would want to hurt Batman, especially after taking a bullet for him.  Also, with the way Batman's been written the last few years, it wouldn't make much sense to me for him to simply "forget" he has a b...

Still much too excited about the Dark Knight

On Aug 22, 2008 9:00 AM

I'm with you on this one Sonia.  When my fiance saw the movie, her reply was, "Eh, it was good."  Good?  That's crazy talk.  TDK is the embodiment of Batman brought to life in an intense film that rivals anything featuring people not in an armored costume.  I thought, then and there, I was going to kill her.  But my better judgement won out, and I accept...

A Post Kirkman & Bendis Manifesto of Sorts

On Aug 21, 2008 10:55 AM

Ron, I enjoyed your manifesto.  I have a confession:  I have no idea what all the hub bub is about.  I haven't read/seen this Kirkman declaraion or Bendis' response, but I think you make a solid argument here.  I love comics too, and I do want to see it grow.  My hope is that this discussion leads to new horizons.  I agree with flapjaxx.  I don't mind d...
