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

On Oct 6, 2008 11:15 AM

I bet this issue can split down "party lines": those with kids and those without. Now that I am "married with children" stuff like this bothers me more and more. Don't get me wrong, I like zombies, 'adult' fare, and Zenoscope girls like every other red-blooded American...just not for my kids. I hate when babies are used like this...to me that's just...wrong. The worst scene...

It's October...

Great article as ever, Gordon. On a side note, but kinda related: everyone should check out the book Halloween by Jerry Seinfeld. (The deluxe version even comes with an audio cd)....but it talks about his trials and trevails during Halloween and his misadventures with his Superman costume...hilarious. Heroville: Grant Morrison...hilarious! Great idea. Connor: i think you should bet some Mutto...

Always judge a book by it's cover, that's what the cover's for... right?

Just a note as I am a little behind on the podcasts...loved hearing Sonia on iFanboy. Not that i don't enjoy listening to the iFanboys, but it is quite refreshing hearing a saucy Brit chick (and i mean that as a compliment btw) talk about...*gasp* comics!  To quote another Brit: "More" Where is the iFanboy petition to bring back Sonia? Oh....another great article, Sonia! &nb...

See The Pictures! Hear The Record!

Great topic! I am of course dating myself, but does anyone remember the old DC records/lps? I snagged an old Metamorpho Record on ebay...anyone remember those?

Comics on the iPhone? I'm good, thanks.

On Aug 28, 2008 10:25 AM

I agree with most of the posts/comments here. I have tried reading some comics on my iPhone and it's "OK" but not something i would do on a regular basis. It's more of a one-trick pony/novelty act right now. Something i would do and consider in a situation where i don't have a 'floppy' or graphic novel handy, or perhaps even where decorum might not allow a good read, but nice to be ab...

Emo Kid From Krypton and The Future of the Comic Book Movie

On Aug 26, 2008 9:15 AM

I preface my comments by saying I liked Superman Returns...but it was a Dark Superman. I took my daughter and she had nightmares that evening because she was scared! Wow! I didn't expect that from a Superman movie! TDK, yes ( and no, i didn't take them to see that). For a Superman reboot i agree with several posters: You need ACTION. You need it BIG and BOLD! Superman's costume needs to be te...

Robert Kirkman's Editorial

I think this is a double-edged sword. For some creators, "cutting their chops" with the big two ALLOWS them the ability to do 'creator-owned work.' Others, who perhaps struggled in the industry or started out with creator owned work, ex. Strangers In Paradise, has allowed them to realized more opportunity WITH the Big Two. To me, although Image appears to be indi and the mecca for cr...

My First Shop: West Side Comics

On Aug 6, 2008 9:00 AM

Great article! Oh the Nostalgia... I first bought comics at drugstores and Kwik Marts (the South's version of 7-Elevens)...my first experience at a comic book shop made me dumbstruck. It was at The Great Escape, in Nashville. It still stands today and going strong. I was amazed at how they got the comics weeks before they appeared on the newstands and without UPC codes! Longboxes everywhere a...
