Can I please see a show of hands of people that are actually surprised by this? Did anyone really think Steve Rogers wasn't coming back at some point? I mean the current Captain America was brought back from the dead and people were pretty pissed and then it turned out to be great. Anyone seeing a pattern? Steve Rogers is one of my all time favorite Marvel characters and while it would have bee...

DMZ rules. Less action but more story in later issues. Grow with it!

All I have to say is whether the "second act" of Fables works seems to rest on this crossover. I remember a column Willingham wrote a few months ago hyping this crossover that was essentially making fun of mainstream comic "events." He pretty much said that his crossover would not disappoint fans and would forever change the Fables universe. 2/3's of the way through, how do ...

@Jimski: Maybe that's why they made the changes. Didn't feel like the book was good enough to be a movie without alterations.

Probably my three overall favorite series this year (other than Fables). Local is potentially my favorite book this year and one of my favorite all time. That is the book I give people to get them into comics and...

I loved the film. I liked the comic. People, this podcast included, talk about the comic as genius.

If you really want more Vertigo I can't say enough good things about Northlanders, I enjoyed it even more then DMZ last year.

I know it has been going on for years and it can seem daunting to catch up but in my opinion Fables is the best book being published right now and has been for some time. If you haven't read it and do want to get into it I recommend picking up the trades and starting from issue 1. That's what I did. It took me the better part of six months to finally get caught up but I enjoyed every second. I ...
