@llash, your statement is ridiculous.  You pulled 8 books.  I think all 3 ifanboys read both 1) Green Lantern Corps and 2) Wednesday Comics, and have discussed both a lot on past broadcasts.  Josh reads 3) House of Mystery and mentions it frequently.  I wouldn't be surprised if one of them is still reading 4) Secret Six, they've certainly discussed ...

@JumpingJupiter - Wertham was totally a villain.  The IFanboys got it right, he effectively shut EC down by making them bow to the comics code.  A censor is a censor is a censor in my book.   If someone came around and wanted to censor novels with a "code", would you think that is ok?  My guess is that one day the ratings for movies will also disappear and we...

Sonia, awesome article, your picks are excellent, and I don't think I've ever seen a comics critique with this slant before..! And yes, John Byrne.  When he was doing FF and Alpha Flight, he ruled. Liked the shout-out to John Buscema and Perez. If I had to say who you missed, I'd say Jim Starlin.

I had the opposite reaction to the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.  I thought the art was only ok (sometimes great, but sometimes the storytelling left me re-reading sections to figure out what happened or who was who) My biggest problem were the deaths.  I think Death is a serious thing in the original movie, or at least the idea of the oppressed or innocent soldiers being killed...th...

One of the covers you showed was actually a JIM STARLIN (!) cover (I think commissioned by Eclipse)...I think. Always loved Miracleman.  The Totlebon arc is amazing.  The Gaiman issue where the normal guy gets to make love to Miraclewoman was also really touching. I loved when you showed the "Andy Warhol" art of Gorgonza (sic)...I forgot how great that was.  Wouldn't...

I loved the Twelve.  LOVED IT!  And I really think this time JMS had an ending.  I remember when the IFanboys were spreading their JMS hate (I'm kidding!!) and refusing to buy the book that I thought, "they are gonna regret when they have to eat their words because the trade will kick ass."  That's how undeniably good I think the Twelve was.  But now i...

Can anyone share the basics of Action #775?  Kelly seemed really proud of that, I'm intrigued, what's the story?  Is it a stand-alone?  Any info appreciated! I Kill Giants is one of the best comics I've read ever.   I put it up there with Maus, Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, and Nancy.  OK, just kidding about Nancy.

Astro City is everything you guys say and more.  Great episode, thanks! My favorite issue - the "Lois Lane" issue...wow, what a great sick twist ending.  You guys rock that you brought up the great Junkman issue, and also mentioned the Barbie issue.  Brilliant.

I hate Damien because I just don't think Bruce Wayne should have a son.  )ut of the blue.  Just because Morrison wants him to have one.  The character is too convenient, the sort of idea you think of, but then discard as being too heavy-handed. Getting Sirens (Dini doing supervillainesses can't be beat), Detective (JH Williams? Hell yea), and of course Batman & Robin (I'm s...

The Kyle Baker Shadow was incredible too....Seven Deadly Finns is one of my favorite comic arcs ever.  Sonia, I agree with both the spirit of your column and almost every book you mention.  I'd add Elektra:Assasin and Alan Moore's Swamp Thing to the list as well. 80s bullocks get a calendar?!?  Humor?  Derision?  and is that the I Kill Giants Joe Casey?!?
