The cast member that I'm most excited to see is Tadanobu Anaso, as he's one of my favorite Japanese actors. Some people would recognize him as the awesomely evil Kakihara from Ichi the Killer, but he also tore up the screen in Zatoichi and the cool & weird short film Electric Dragon 80000V. Love this guy!

I normally don't like when time travel is used as a plot crutch. However, I sometimes get behind it when it makes a story somewhat compelling or makes sense. That being said, I hated the development behind Zoom killing Barry's mother. Let me clarify...I'm completely fine with Zoom doing it, as it makes sense being as he's a time traveler. I hate the fact that there are residuals of Barry'...

I figure its like skiing and snowboarding. Yeah, they're both similar in that they're sports in which you propel yourself down a snowy mountainside at high speeds, but not only are they completely different, but if you learn one, you'll have difficuties with the other type. I started skiing pretty early on, and now I'm extremely comfortable with it and can do it as easily as walking. Thou...

Whoo!!! New Flash Rebirth issue! I suppose I wouldn't be so upset with this series being so late if it wasn't so amazing. Seriously, the first issue or so didnt really wow me, but the last one shot my expectations through the roof, and now I'm on the edge of my seat for the continuation!   And speaking of late series, it looks like Grant Morrison's Authority story is finally being conti...

I loved Dark X-Men #1 alot this week, it was certainly a great suprise. I was also pretty estatic to see that Nate Grey is back, since he was my favorite character when I was younger and I awesome kick ass powers mattered to me more than characterisation. I definitely like the idea of X-Man better than his stories, as I was never able to really get into any of them. The only ones...

Man was today a great day! I finally get some renovations on my apartment done, I saw the funniest movie of the year (Black Dynamite), and then I come home to find my review mentioned on the POTW show! Thanks guys, I was really stoked to hear this!   I was also estatic earlier in the week when I read Stumptown #1, as I think I found my new favorite series. There are many great crime wri...

Great stuff everyone! I'm especially happy to see not one, but TWO Black Canaries, both really well done! Conor, did you grow that beard just for your Bob Ross costume? Dont feel any shame, so did I. Im hoping you were able to do the soft Bob Ross voice! Oh and one more thing...I fucking love that Brock Sampson! The fact that you were able to get that mid air pose with that murderous look on...

The ads just go to show who comic books are really written for through the years. Back when you started reading, comics were written strictly for kids, as evidenced by not only the simplistic stories, but the ads for the x-ray specs and other mail-order kiddie gags. Nowadays, that audience is still reading comics, so comics are seeming to grow up with them, as evidenced by the more mature...

Definitely the most suprising picks I've ever seen! Despite knowing that there was Sam Keith art, I kinda dismissed this book since it seemed like another excuse to highlight a celebrity writing a comic. Though when I think about it, Glenn Danzig wrote a great miniseries based on Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer, and that Spider-Man Short Halloween one shot wasnt too bad. May need to double back ...

I'm new to The Bell, it reminds me of Pardon The Interuption on ESPN...I thought it would be cool to do a show like that, you should do it more often!
