April 22, 2013 9:33 am It boils down very simply for me. I love comics. I don't love clutter. Buying comics digitally satisfied my every need. :) I just wish we got accurate numbers on digital sales. I feel like it's a real growing part of the market, so when we see the diminishing Diamond charts, I have to wonder how accurate of a picture they're painting.
April 9, 2013 12:56 pm It's worth noting that this isn't actually being made by the studio that developed the Metroid Prime trilogy, Retro Studios. 2-3 years ago, several high-ranking people left Retro to form Armature. So while there are certainly key figures from Metroid Prime working on this game, it's not the same team (and won't include the shepherding from Nintendo that Retro enjoys).

November 19, 2012 12:17 pm Having gone all-digital recently, it's very difficult to spend $3.99 on a comic book. A lot of my comics reading has shifted over to buying in bulk during Comixology's $0.99 Sales. I got all of Transmetropolitan for a mere $59. I know that we'll probably never see a day-and-date release at $0.99, but I really don't think $1.99 is unreasonable. I know I'd surely read and spend more if that were the case. That being said, I don't mind shelling out a bit more for a nice hardcover or omnibus every now and then. But $4 for a floppy just doesn't sit right.

November 8, 2012 9:54 am I've always thought of Hellblazer being to Vertigo what Action Comics is to DC. The book's been there since before the label even existed, it survived good times, bad times and always seemed like something that would just always be a part of the Vertigo tapestry. But hey, they ended the original Action run, too, ya know? At the very least, Josh, you can take solace in knowing that one of your favorite characters got a long, healthy run and a complete story. 300 issues is orders of magnitude more than a lot of other series get, even long-standing Vertigo series. It's a bit unfortunate that the character's going to continue to exist in a continuity not of your choosing, but #1-300? That's yours, and mate, that's the dog's bollocks.
