I can add a little to Josh's info on Hellblazer: Papa Midnite was first introduced in Jamie Delano's first story arc of Hellblazer (found in the Original Sins trade paperback). I completely forgot that he re-appeared in Ennis' run. This mini-series looks like it pulls more from the movie than anything established by Delano or Ennis. In fact, I don't think it fits in anywhere into the proper s...

Conor, I'm right there with ya, brother. I've been collecting for a while, and I spent many years diving in quarter bins. I'd say I have over 50 longboxes, and not only are they not organized, but I haven't bagged and boarded in... I dunno, 8 years or so? I realized that I wasn't saving them for value. I was a reader. And i could get trade paperbacks for the books i really loved. So, bagging an...

@IroncladMerc -- Dude, totally had that Cap and Falcon vs. The Red Skull comic/record! I loved that one!

@ultimatehoratio - yeah, I enjoyed that Batman issue, but I agree that the prose was overdone. I would have said more than a "tad," though. :) I probably wouldn't read that as a novel. @TheNextChampion - I love Morrison, but I definitely don't see Morrison as a god when it comes to stories. He's done some amazing work -- Superman Beyond is not it, IMHO. Ideas are cool, but the story...

Not for nuthin' but... if you actually read most of the posts about Morrison in the comics discussion thread, it's clearly NOT about hating Morrison just to do so. Most of us who disliked Superman Beyond are huge Morrison fans. I didn't like Superman Beyond because I didn't like the way Morrison delivered the story. Actually, I don't think there was much story there at all. Some cool ideas, b...

Sonia -- great concept for the article. AND it gives us a little more insight into the iFanboy staff. That's cool. I love these little 'personality test' kinda things. But, man, I do not know who I would be/resemble. Part of me wants to say Vic Sage/The Question, because I'm always trying to get the answers, often to my own detriment and when I should be letting things go. I often feel like i...

I own both of these, and I really like them both. Clearly, sir, this proves that you have good taste.

So, you're saying, um, you're saying that... movies should be good ?   OK, I tease... but I agree. What worries me about Robinov's comments are, well... what does he mean by dark, exactly? Is he confusing dark with mature, a mistake made by many a comics writer back in the late 80's and early 90's?  I do believe that a good-but-dark Superman story could be told. I'm not against i...

Ron -- Fantastic piece. I agree 100% -- you've really nailed it here, and it matches my own thoughts on the subject. I actually enjoyed both Kirkman's manifesto AND Bendis' response. Like you, I think Kirkman is right to start the conversation. I think Bendis is right to call bullshit on certain aspects of the conversation. But you're dead-on with your assessment of the industry here. The music...

Oddly, if I picked right now based on what I've read... my POW would probably be Uncanny X-men. I think because it surprised me by being a very entertaining mix of Claremont and Morrison. I wouldn't have expected that going in. Legion of 3 Worlds was probably in second place... or maybe third after Captain America, which was fantastic.
