If You Love It, You Can Rank It

It does say for better or for worse, and the artists selected all fall in one of those categories.  I thought they were pretty fair in their assessment, but at the same time throwing in some of the usual Onion humor.  For me to say I disagree with the selections would only suggest I know better myself who was more influential, and that's just not true.

Jason Aaron and Steve Dillon on Punisher MAX

On Jul 17, 2009 12:12 PM

@josh - I agree 100%.  It's like comparing apples and oranges. I heard rumblings that Aaron would be writing Punisher MAX, but had not heard about Dillon. Bonus!

'Iron Man 2' Pics

On Jul 16, 2009 2:27 PM

Looks like they made a nice choice for Black Widow.  Even if the footage of Mickey in costume looks lame, I am more than willing to give this sequel every chance in the world.  Marvel has a good track record with 2nd movies in a franchise, and Iron Man is (arguably) the best 1st installment of a Marvel movie.

Comic books are superheroes. Superheroes are comic books.

On Jul 16, 2009 12:00 PM

I agree that superheroes work best in comics, even if they do (occasionally) lend themselves well to film and animation.  As much as I enjoyed Dark Knight and Batman The Animated Series, my love for those things are not on the same level as Dark Knight Returns, Year One, or Son of the Demon.  I rarely think a guy looks strange in tights in a comic, but sometimes I do when w...

First Issue Lightning Round!

On Jul 15, 2009 12:00 PM

After 50 something Brubaker Cap issues, he finally wrote one I didn't love.  Or even like, really.  This issue also marks the 1st time I didn't love Hitch's art.  Not a good start for me.   Let's hope the next issue is better.

Consider Going Black and White with Captain America #601

On Jul 15, 2009 9:00 AM

I have always preferred Colon's art in B&W.  I had no idea he was that old!  The Essential Tomb of Dracula still looks amazing in B&W, but I never cared for his work on batman in the 80s in color, obviously.

Why Do We Call It "Breaking In" to Comics?

On Jul 14, 2009 8:45 AM

@BrowncoatJedi - If there are 2 or 3 hot chicks at a con, they are more likely to want to hook up with the writer or artist of their favorite book, not the fat, sweaty lumps rumamging thorugh the 50 cent boxes.

Natalie Portman Joins the Cast of Thor

On Jul 13, 2009 3:28 PM

I guess she will be fine.   I was not sure if Don and Jane would be in the move, or if it would focus mostly on Asgard.   So is the same guy playing Thor and Don?

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern

On Jul 10, 2009 11:45 PM

He's a better choice than some of the other names knocked around.  I think he is a decent actor, with good comic timing who has had few chances to really shine in his previous roles.  I haven't seen Wolverine, but I hear good things about him in that.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 07/10/2009

On Jul 10, 2009 1:00 PM

1st post, huzzah, huzzah. I thought a few years ago that Kurt Busiek would be a good choice to revamp Aquaman.  That didn't really work out.  Now, I might even like to see him portrayed as he is on Brave & Bold.  If he is already a "punchline", why not make it a humor book?  Maybe even with Keith Giffen writing?
