Name: Gian Lije Garcia

I'm into a variety of genres and publishers. I'm reading Vertigo titles in trades and I read a lot of Manga online. After Sinestro Corps War and Messiah Complex, I've eased up on the monthly floppies. Right now I'm only buying Umbrella Academy, Buffy Season 8, and Angel: After The Fall. I'm moving into just buying trades because I prefer reading stories in one sitting and they look better and store easier on a shelf.

When I'm not using my money to buy comics, I spend it on HeroClix and Gundam model kits.

no Geoff Johns, Van Sciver or Ivan Reis on Twitter!? Or even the REAL Dan Didio!? Oh well. The list is awesome nonetheless. BTW, @Paul Montgomery: Are you the same Paul Montgomery that worked on a couple of episodes of the Wormwood season 2 podcast? just curious.

The iFanboy staff go superpowered for the holidays!

Awesome pic! Too bad Nightwing isn't bald and didn't make it to the team in Meltzer's run of JLA. It would have been a more appropriate hero for Conor. Conor as Batman would have been tough to Photoshop while still making Conor recognizable.

Web comics - so sticky!

On Dec 10, 2008 12:00 PM

You've posted this article in a very timely fashion for me, Mr. Romo. I've always checked out the web comics, but none of them have really grabbed me over the years. Penny Arcade, Nowhere girl, the stuff at moviepoopshoot.com... Over the past few days though, I decided to read one, and I chose PVP. I went through their archives and I now have 10 years worth of strips to breeze through while at ...

People may hate me for this suggestion, but I kinda want to see DJ Qualls as Flycatcher for some reason.

An Apple iPhone (though I'm not giving up my 5th gen 30GB iPod or my sexy MotorolaRAZR once...

12.04.2008 - X-Men Noir #1

Interesting pick. If it's just 4 issues then I don't have to wait too long before a trade comes out. Does anybody have a clue re: Marvel's compilation process? Do they always release the Premier Hardcovers first, AND THEN the trades? Or is it vice versa? Does it depend on the mini-series/story being traded?
