The iFanboy Letter Column - 10/10/08!

On Oct 10, 2008 4:00 PM

Totally agree with you, Conor, on the Riddler. Though I feel like there has been a really good story in the comics. I may be thinking of The Long Halloween, which turned out not to be him, right? Wait, I think I have to go back and read that to be sure. So, Batman Lego doesn't get any of the best versions? Croc is pretty good in it, since he doesn't really need to talk anyway.

If she had said yes, would there have been a Part Four to this story? Sorry, I hope that thought doesn't gross you out...

10.08.2008 - Action Comics #870

On Oct 8, 2008 8:03 PM

I was just re-reading Justice League of America #0 the other day and I was wondering if any of the future events shown in that book were ever going to happen. Well, I guess this one has.  I had no spoilers from anywhere except that my brother-in-law was reading my copy before me, only he didn't know I hadn't read it already, and he was like "Dude, heartbreaker." And then before...

What I've Learned

Thanks Josh. This made me feel all warm and fuzzy. And don't worry, mate, you look great! I'd hazard you're under 11 stone, but really who cares about such things. Enjoy your steak.

Dead Babies Are Fun: Swears, Squares, and Comic Ratings

On Oct 6, 2008 11:15 AM

Jimski, this article is the mother-fudgin' sugar!  I'm tired of Marvel's cover marketing scheme, be it zombies, skrulls, apes, or Marvel Opossums, but more so for the fact that it doesn't convey anything beyond a "Hey look at me!' kind of attitude. The baby zombie is the worst kind of example of that. As for the actual content of MZ, though, I have to say that if you haven't read i...

Alan Moore on Watchmen Movie

On Oct 2, 2008 4:29 PM

Based on the previous adaptations of his work, why should Moore have any optimism? And let's be honest, we all might be very excited about this, but it's only based on a trailer so far. Why are comics fans so obsessed with seeing our beloved characters in moving form anyway?

Late Comics: Jim vs. Jim

There sure are a lot of Skrulls on those comic stands. And the Sentry has apparently been forbidden from appearing on the cover of his own book. Nice.

iFanboy Video Programming Update

On Sep 28, 2008 5:50 PM

I'm so behind on the video podcasts anyway that I'm not going to feel this for awhile. But I will be sad to see some of the short formats gone. Will "What Were they thinking?" and "It Came from the Storage Closet" be recycled into the weekly shows maybe? Please?

iFanboy - Episode #89 - Discovering Manga

On Sep 24, 2008 5:34 PM

Nice show. Regarding the reversed reading direction, does anyone think it's really necessary for it to be printed in its original format? The Lone Wolf & Cub books were presented in a Western-style layout. I assume they just reversed the spread image so that the flow of the panels would be preserved. The only problem this could cause is if there were words within the art, but these would h...

Thank you, Sonia, for giving voice to my un-realized opinion of SIP. I wasn't all that big a fan of yours up until now, but that scored major points in my book.  That said, I am currently enjoying T. Moore on Runaways and SM loves MJ, so maybe, ... maybe I'll check out Echo.
