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.

Starman Omnibus Volume 1
On Jul 7, 2008 9:04 AMI never read this series when it first came out, but there's a really good series of articles that talks about the entire series. From the synopsis alone, I find myself intrigued by this book and I'll buy it as soon as I get extra cash. As for the articles I read last year, check out Scott Tipton's Comics 101: http://www.comics101.com/comics101//?mode=project&action=view&projec...

On Jun 28, 2008 11:42 AMI liked a lot of his art. This is really sad news. While the comic community grieves, I'm sure this is even harder for his friends and family. Condolences to them all.

On Jun 24, 2008 3:21 PMHere are some suggestions: Death Note: A high school student picks up a notebook called The Death Note. Whoever's name is written in that book would die within 40 seconds. You can even specify how that person would die in what you write and it would actually happen. The boy then gets this obscured sense of justice wherein he kills off criminals in the name of justice, and once he finishes the...
Go to CommentStack Week, Part Five: Absolutely Worth It...Right?
On Jun 18, 2008 12:00 PMFunny thing is, whenever I buy a trade or a hardcover, it never goes unread. I'm always itching to read the entire book in one sitting. That's even if I bought three or four trades at a time. A trade never goes onto my stack. The only exception to this is Showcase Green Lantern volume 3. I just can't finish reading the damn thing even in installments!

On Jun 13, 2008 12:00 PMI was really excited for Supergirl when it first came out, but after reading the first arc, issues 1-5, I felt really really disappointed. I really like the character, but I just can't stand the book and the stories. Are there any arcs that are actually good aside from the aforementioned #20-22?
Go to CommentThe Complete Alan Moore WildC.A.T.s
On Jun 1, 2008 3:31 PMI was always a fan of the WildC.A.T.s, even the pre and post-Moore issues. For some reason that I can't explain, I just love these characters. I got the single issues of the entire Alan Moore run, which is why I was always hesitant to buy this book. I've never read issue #50 though, which may be the sole reason why I'll buy this trade. Great pick, Josh. I always thought that if iFanboy picke...

On Mar 13, 2008 6:16 PMI don't know if I'd watch this show without Rosenbaum as Lex. He has been my favorite character in this series, and that's saying a lot considering I'm not that fond of Superman OR Lex in the comics. The last season I watched was 5. I've been feeling so lazy in picking up 6 so I can catch up to 7 for some reason. I dunno... I hope the show just ends with a good ending instead of them dragging i...

On Mar 7, 2008 1:25 AMSince it was first featured in the video show, I have been trying to find this book in our local shops. I read both Western and Asian comics, so this being Manga doesn't bother me at all. There are a lot of different Manga out there that are aimed at almost ALL kinds of readers. I hope one day iFanboy will start reviewing more Manga, or maybe a bi-monthly episode in the video show on what their...
Go to CommentThe Pulls and the Fury! New Comics for 03/06/08
On Mar 3, 2008 6:14 PMI'm looking forward to Green Lantern, Teen Titans Year One, and Buffy. Bonus Question: Not really, but if I were, most likely a canine. I want to have a wolf, or a bad-ass looking dog. I want my pet to look vicious without being reptilian.
