@mikeromo You're not the first person on the site to refer to the "Sven arc," but I don't think that it is.  In fact, I was curious about this, googled it, and came up with this: http://jasonaaron.org/viewtopic.php?t=1752&sid=aeb93829e1785e6a278b2594f46ba85e According to Wood, the Sven story was done-in-one, and was probably the last we'll see of Sven in the book.

The name "Impulse" isn't getting any use right now, and that wouldn't be confusing at all... Other name options: "Wally Quick."  Lil' Flash.  Ion.

@edward  I , for one, would be offended if the pick of the week was wasted pandering to the fad of the week (Blackest Night #1 vs. Scalped 31, for example) as opposed to a genuine representation of the book that the iFanboy on deck enjoyed the most.  If they chose the book that had the greatest popular supprt (Wolverine 72 vs. Spiderman the Short Halloween) then it would be a betray...

@Bryce31 I get a kick out of Heroes, but I watched Fringe for the first time, last night, and thought, "this is the show that Heroes should have been."  The only thing missing is Maki "I Can Do No Wrong Though I Am A Complete Media Whore" Oka (seriously: the only person who's been on more talk shows in rapid succession is currently president).

It's Marvel Outer Space Week!  I love this week.  Also, Batwoman Comics is always a pleasure.  And between Madame Xanadu, Farscape and Superpowers, it's also "Comics I Love That Noone Else Buys" week. BQ: I'm most looking forward to Castle and Dollhouse coming back, this week.

@rush "Kingdom Come?" is basically "Twilight of the Super Heroes" with the serial numbers filed off. I think that the classiest part of this is the first highlighted bit. Alam Moore is a bitter, angry man with a lot to be angry about, but he's also apparently compassionate about the right things.

I'm sad about this because I leave for three weeks in England on January 4th, so I won't get my perscription subscription filled for a month.  Oh, the humanity.

I try not to say "this is a good book," or "this is a bad book," except in the occasional review.  With a few exceptions, good and bad are completely subjective.  I typically enjoy DC books more than Marvel, but that doesn't mean they're better.  I'm secure enough in my own opinions that I don't need to defend them by attacking people who think differently....

I don't own a single Absolute, and I have exactly one shelf of trades, most of which I never read in issues (Transmetropolitan, Camelot 3000, early Starman).  I collect comics for the stories, for the experience of going into the shop, week in and week out, no matter what and for the feeling of watching something onfold over time.  If I bought in trades, I would lose 2/3 of the experi...

@jimski Jack's meta-humor strikes me as more Moonlighting-Bruce-Willis and less Deadpool, which is why it works for me (because I agree with you completely about Deadpool, who I now resent for existing while CB&MI13 dies).  Jack is the only funnybook that makes me laugh out loud, every week.  It's true that this is largely because of Babe the Blue Ox, but the fact remains that ...
