You've Been Dropped!
On Dec 10, 2008 9:00 AMLately I've just been getting sick of the Avengers books. Whenever a major crossover occurs(which is every four month or so it seems), the books stop being about the Avengers. I have no interest in this Secret Warriors book, Slott is off A:TI. When I finally hit the shop today I think I'll be cutting New, Mighty, and A:TI from my list. Probably JSA, too, with Johns leaving. Back to how I start...
Go to CommentSentences The Life Of Mf Grimm Tp
On Nov 4, 2008 12:48 AMAs a longtime fan of MF Grimm's, through his close affiliation with MF Doom and his time as GM Grimm, I can tell you that his story truly is inspirational. I'm surprised to see this as the pick, but it's a testament to just how powerful a story this is.
Go to Comment5 Artists Who Aren't For Me
On Apr 29, 2008 11:51 AMChris Bachalo. Can't stand his artwork. It doesn't effectively tell the story, which I think is the worst offense any artist can commit. JRJR. I know most people love him, but his stuff has always bored me to tears. His women have weird lines on their faces, and basically everything just looks strange. Certainly he's not terrible, but his presence doesn't make me enjoy a bo...
Go to CommentTeam or Player?
On Apr 10, 2008 9:50 AMI don't think anybody thinks we owe the characters themselves, but to me it makes no logical sense to assume that a book is going to suck because some fan favorite creative team is leaving. That assumes that the creative team was so good that the book can never be good again. In the case of Iron Fist, I would venture to say that his fans are going to stick with the title no matter what, ...
Go to CommentWho else is dropping IMMORTAL IRON FIST? Brubaker & Fraction
On Apr 7, 2008 2:40 PMI think it's pitiful that so many people are dropping the book simply because Brubaker and Fraction are leaving. If you're a fan of Iron Fist, then give the new team a shot. And Conor, if the book wasn't working for you, then why not try the new team? Maybe they'll provide something more to your liking? I just think it's sad that fans are now no longer fans of characters, just creative teams. N...
Go to CommentWWLA Aftermath - Uncanny X-WHAT??
On Mar 17, 2008 3:06 AMVery little could ever make me drop Uncanny X-men. If I survived Scott Lobdell and the era of editorial interference, I can take Greg Land's mediocre pencils, especially since it'll only be half the time and not every month.
