Cool. I really, really liked the early issues of that series. I stopped reading shortly after Rick Leonardi left the series though, so I'd be interested to find out what you (or anyone else) thinks...

What an amazingly ecletic group!?
It seems like there's a media push to make everything that comes out of the email hack as earth-shattering news. But a lot of this is just confirmation of stuff that was already reported before the...
That sounds really out-of-touch by the Sony execs. Stan Lee hasn't created a character with staying power in the last few decades. Or maybe they're big fans of Ravage 2099 and Stripperella.
I...
Still reading the Ann Nocenti/John Romita, Jr. run of Daredevil. I'm up to #274. Of all the JRjr comics that I've read, this may his best art. I think he was still learning prior to this. And I've...
I'm surprise how well-like Crystal Skull is in the poll. I was so disappointed by Indy IV. I feel like it wasted the one chance to recapture the Indy magic in this era.
I don't think The Godfather...
Yeah, I find it surprising that of all the original Star Trek films to list a "supposedly bad", Voyage Home is the one that picked. I think there's pretty wide consensus that IV is one of the good...
It would be cool if folks could have a real conversation about race for once, rather dealing with strawmen. I don't see some situation where characters of all sorts of ethnic/racial background are...
Enchantress was one of the Suicide Squad members when the series was first launched, so I don't think it's such an odd choice.
I haven't seen Jai Courtney in anything, but it is nice that actual...
If you analyze it too much, an AT-AT seems like an impractical design. That high center of gravity with narrow legs is a target for tripping. They're a striking visual. I'm glad they were in The...
I wrote: "I was taken aback by the negative comments, because this looks so awesome to me. For instance, I think the rolling droids fits in very well with the world of the original trilogy. I reject...
R2D2 is excitable and tempermental like a little kid. He's part of a comedic double act. He's so anthropomophized that you call R2 "he". He's irreverent. He rocks back and forth excitedly. He squeals...
You skipped over the most important step in the analysis. I don't think it's safe to assume Supergirl will be based in Metropolis. Pre-Crisis Supergirl was based in Midvale in her early days. She was...
Yeah, this felt authentically Star Wars in a way the prequels never did. It feels like something from the same world, just reflect the passage of time between when the films take place. It has the...
Today I received the Firestorm The Nuclear Man TPB. It reprints his first, short-lived series, as well as the earliest Firestorm back-ups in Flash and the Firestorm story from the famed Cancelled...
He also mentioned Al Rothstein (Nuklon). And I do think, as someone noted with Girder, someone who "died" that day, may not actually be dead.
Apocalypse is going to be in the movie, but I don't think there's any good reason to think it's going to be an adaptation of Age of Apocalypse. That would be pretty repetitive, coming after Days of...
X3 had devastated the storyline so much that the only real solution to revive the film franchise were either a reboot that ignored the existence of past films or just the time travel trick that was...
Got a few different books in the past few from either Ebay or online retailers:
Golden Age Flash Archives vol. 2
Sandman Archives vol. 1
Sandman Mystery Theatre vol. 1
Showcase Presents Hawkman...
I don't think Waid's run is ending at #13. The solicits for that issue says Waid and Samnee "begin the climactic final chapter" of their run. That probably means #13 is the first issue of their last...
I've read a lot of vol. 1, but not even a full issue of vol. 2 (though I'm getting around to it. I think Mark Waid is overrated as a writer, but I've enjoyed his DD run a lot. I think Samnee has...
Agreed on both counts. I liked this episode a lot (maybe the best yet), but didn't like the ending. On the flip side of the potential to Barry, there's an ethical problem. It gives Barry a big...
I'm hoping for a Betty Brant movie, with her taking down the minutes at a series of editorial meetings.
Yeah, Chris Hemsworth had done next to nothing in the U.S. prior to Thor. Pratt was mostly known for supporting roles and comedy.
