You need to see the movie version of Battle Royale.  It is weird and violent, but not as over the top extreme as the manga appears from the review of the book.

Being a wrestling fan as well, I have seen this happening to the WWE for the last 5 or 6 years.  They had a formula that worked and stuck with it no matter what the numbers were telling them.  They would see a "strong" profit, and think they are ok, but not admitting to themselves it was because of higher prices and not a stronger fan base.  They are now starting to re...

Gotta be like Nightwing and just have all his friends do the work for you.

Am I the only person that would probably buy more on a weekly basis if they were digital?  I think for the right price, I would try out just about any comic if it looked interesting.  I think the concept of the current Marvel Digital thing os ok, but I don't to read my comics through a flash player.  I want to be able to go offline and read when I want.  Say for example if I...

Here is what I keep saying over and over in my head... Where is the DC followup for next year?  I don't count Watchmen because it is not part of the main universe.  Marvel has Wolverine only right now, but it would not shock me if something else appears by the end of the year for release next year.  Marvel "deserves" the lull of one movie anyway after having 2+ movies ...

Hollywood has found the "James Bond" of the new millennium, and will use it to the fullest.  What I mean by this, is that James Bond was a character with some pretty strong source material.  They were able to make numerous stories based upon them and while certain actors would become synonymous with playing that role, people just accepted a new Bond being brought in every c...

Except for the backpack stage, this is my comic reading situation exactly.  When my son was born I ended up getting 9 months behind on reading books and it became a complete disaster.  While I am now caught up, and have been for much of this calendar year, I won't mention how far back I am on the bagging and boxing stage.

I just hope IDW forgets the last 2 years or so of Devil's Due Continuity and starts fresh.  I loved the G.I. Joe stories for a while, then they decided to kill it dead.

It took me all of 5 seconds to decide on picking Cable for you.  I have the complete run of Cable and Deadpool and the only times I considered dropping that book was when the stories primarily featured Cable.  I gave the Cable series an honest try and it is just plain bad.  If the story ever leads to something major, marvel is bound to release it as a trade, and considering how b...

Dense is probably a great word for it.  This book also is probably much "easier" to read in TPB form.  I actually got it when it was coming out in single issues.  I don't actually remember finishing the story, because it was (a) getting too weird; and (b) in monthly format the story kept getting lost on me.  Morrison only seemed to be trying to push the limits for ...
