Oh jr high.  The black hole of my existence for all intents and purposes.  Like you, I was blissfully ignorant about just how important being cool was, and that I... wasn't.  Then my best friend since 3rd grade didn't invite me to her end of the school year party.  Little awkward since we lived 3 blocks away from each other and got off at the same bus stop.  We had a f...

I think you hit the nail on the head with the sister parralell.  There's this certain feeling, whether it's rational or not, that they don't have the right to judge this film.  They aren't coming from the same place we are.  They don't know the material enough to realize how brilliant it is, to understand the nods and the nuances, so when they judge it flippantly the bloods star...

Marketing.  Marketing, marketing, marketing.  It's so crazy to me that these characters are icons.  Beloved!  People are watching their movies, buying their shirts, getting their symbols TATOOED on their bodies and they've never read a book in their life.  That's madness.  Why, in an essentially GEEK AGE do all these stereotypes of comic readers still run rampant?&...

Very well written, and that certainly is one angle.  For myself, personally, it's not purely his powers that turn me off of the character.  He's not alone in the realm of absurdly powerful characters.  I'd even go so far as to say the standard Batman debate point is hardly even valid at this point, because while he's human... his feats have gone well above and beyond that which ...

I think overall, it's a bit of an emotional overreaction.  But I do know what you mean on some level.  I remember at nycc eva mendes was asked if she read comics now.  She replied, "Fuck yes!" or something equally as enthusaistic.  When followed up by asking what she read or who she liked... she threw off the question.  "Interesting," I think.  ...

Josh.  Where'd your hair go?  Little short. I'll have to pick this book up next week, seems like it'd be my bag.

I’m loving Detective and Batman right now; I don’t think that’s a conflict of interest.   It goes into the whole wide interpretations of Batman issue that’s been floating around as of late.   To try to define or categorize a definitive Batman just seems a little silly.

Ahhhh it's one of those good weeks.  There is nothing on my list that I'm NOT excited for.  If you made me choose I'd probably say House of Mystery is at the top of my list.  New series from writers I adore, I want to see what it's all about.  BQ: I generally don't like when you combine sweet and meat.  It's unnatural.  For example, Honey Glazed Ham is very unapp...

What a mercifully light week.  It's like Diamond said, "Look Becca's buying furniture this weekend, let's give her a break."  Thank you Diamond, much appreciated.  Teen Titans Y1 and Jack of Fables.  DCU 0 looked like crap from the preview, but hey.  50 cents.  So what can you do?

Caught Q&C at the Oni Booth as well though my first thought was, "How the hell did I miss that?!" Becuase... well frankly my memory is not one to be trusted.  Good to know I'm not just a spaz.  Small but crazy week.  Last issue of countdown.  Checkmate.  Batman is always crazy now a days.  I don't know what this White Picket Fences this is, but I ...
