Fantastic article Josh. I actually just read The Nightly News and in the back matter where Hickman writes about the War Of Art and how he pushed himself to make something I just got so amped and excited. At the moment i'm trying to get down ideas for a story. Right now it's just at the developement stage but that in itself is so much fun. I've really been inspired by Alan Moore's book on com...

I'm a hip hop fan but i'm only vaguely aware of Grimm. That awareness is mostly from his former association with MF DOOM so i wasn't sure if i'd care to read this. Just seeing this as book of the month though made me sure I wanted to buy it and if that hadn't this review totally would've. Definitely getting this in my next AMAZON order...... @EBO - I love "Tick Tick." When...

Wow so....I sounded like a neanderthal in my voicemail(it was the first message). Thank you very much for the Superman: Secret Identity recommendation. It sounds exactly like what I needed. I'd love to go for a long drawn out multi-volume stories but if i can't find that i'll definitely settle for self contained one volume stories

I try to not think about any of this. Every now and then I read something and think "hmmm.....thats strange." But for the most part none of this really bugs me. I treat everything as almost completely separate from everything else and if someone else pops in i just say "oh that guy's here...cool." The only way that it would be frustrating to me is if they had ...

@jimski - It totally matters if they're not comic people. I'm not gonna throw someone in the Superhero deep end as my first recommendation. Like you said Scott Pilgrim is probably the most perfect starter comic you'll find. I lent my buddy Scott Pilgrim and he loved it. From there I lent him Blankets to give him a bit of a more serious tone and it still had the early 20's/teen quality. A...

Here's my ranking, parts of which i'm sure many people will disagree with. 1) Dark Knight - would it make sense to pick anything else as number 1? I think not. 2) Hellboy - I know a lot of other people liked the original hellboy but I wasn't crazy about it. It was okay but with only a few cool things to look at and very flat and basic action sequences Del Toro hadn't come into his own yet. W...

@TheDudeAbides-Judging from your taste in music and your name (not to get creepy or anything) I think I could be pretty good friends with you. Who picked the music this week?! I loved it but it didn't change the fact that I was completely stunned to hear it on this podcast.  

i'm just echoing TimmyWood but this was a great article! Really enjoyed reading it.

I'd say drop all of them except Black Summer . Whenever I had to tighten the belt and drop some books I always dumped the more mainstream titles first, and according to other posts it seems like there isn't much left of Black Summer. I cast my vote for Hulk 'cause I'm sick of Loeb's ego. He's a poor writer who is currently riding on the coattails of high profile artists and the f...
