Big fan of comics in general. Batman and Daredevil are favorites, but also enjoy immensely what indy books have to offer. ASP, Oni, Top Shelf, and Dark Horse (can this really be called an "indy" any more?) are some of my favorite publishers.
My big comicbook crisis is trying to determine what to read monthly and what to trade wait for. I never seem to have a handle on this sort of management. Sometimes I end up double-dipping!
The gang at iFanboy here have done well to make me check out books that may not of hit my radar the first time around. Fear Agent and Fell are examples of this. I am greatful for the work they do here. I may not post much, but I am a daily visitor.

An Early Glimpse at 'Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths'
On Oct 2, 2009 12:30 PMPublic Enemies was easily one of the better ones from the line. My only complaint - 67 minutes? Really? Come on! The new teaser looks really good. The idea was already in place for story in season 3 of JLU. Of course, season 3 never happened. I'm glad they're doing this.

On Sep 9, 2009 1:40 PMI can't help but think about all of this in sports terminology. When the gm goes, usually the new gm wants his or her coach of choice in. I have a feeling that Dan's days may be numbered. Not that Dan and Diane won't get along, they could. But for Diane to have DCE achieve best in what she would identify as in the best interest of the company (for her boss Jeff/WB), she...

On Sep 4, 2009 1:00 PMPersonally, Library Binding makes no sense when you still have all the ads in place. Maybe this is just me, but a perk about having the nice collected edition of something is that it is free of ads.

On Aug 26, 2009 5:17 PMNoticed that this issue connects to the last issue of RIP. Word for word, right before Batman and Robin smash through the window and confront Le Bossu. Nice touch.

On Aug 11, 2009 4:00 PMA lot of my love for comics focuses on these occult detectives listed here. Great list here Paul. And the doubt concerning Wesley Dodds? Look no further than the brilliant Gaiman/Wagner/Kristiansen SMT oneshot. One of my all time favorites. I really need to check out Poe and the Veil.

On Jul 9, 2009 2:01 AMOpening this up and reading it demanded a cup of coffee on the side. Coffee and newsprint, like butter on toast. But then I realised that coffee is newsprint's kryptonite. I must be very careful when engaging WCs.

On Jan 11, 2009 2:46 AMThe thing that some Hellboy fans might not know is that the second Library Edition hc reads in chronological order. This isn't simply slapping vol. 3 & 4 of the trades together. These stories were not in chronological order when they were orginally collected. The gang involved with Hellboy did a great job putting the stories in their proper order for this hc. It almost ...
