DocSpin is the winner! C'mon guys! Step up your game to his level!

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

All right Mesektet, how did you crack the code to figure out my fanboyish tendencies? Was it that I wrote a list featuring creative work from a variety of writers...

Yeah, I know. That's why I wrote that he cleared the deck for Morrison.

Also, I was exaggerating, and said so. In case people missed it, which some apparently did.

Dark Horse did a Spacehawk reprint series in black and white, yes. In 1992.

More than a few years ago, I would say.

Spacehawk is even better in color, too.

Awesome! Thanks for the people who are actual providing comments and not just saying nonsensical things. I always appreciate thoughtful discussion, whether I agree with you or not. The people who...

I love this thread! Let's keep the positivity going.

BUT, it's "When WORDS Collide." W-O-R-D-S.

(I'm talking to Mikael, by the way.)

I literally do not know what you mean? Who are you trying to insult with your non-comment?

That WOULD explain a lot.

I can neither confirm nor deny.

The nice thing about Ryan's list is that it at least has confidence in itself. No matter how wrong it is.

I will endorse Legion of Monsters, though! Hopeless and Doe are rockin' that party.

The...

Wheee!!!

Rhymer -- You are wrong.

Batmite --- You open with an insult because you disagree with a list I made? Classy! I guess you win this round! (And I may never read "Holy Terror" again, but...

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't actually fishing for compliments/posts but I will graciously take them and put them in my pocket for the time when my wife asks me, "who reads those columns,...

Joe does talk a bit more about what's actually IN the comic in part 2 of the interview.

But I don't really press that subject, because I am far more interested in tone and style than plot. If you...

I have to admit: I don't understand the "I would buy this book except for the $3.99 price point" comments. It doesn't matter to me, or Joe apparently, if you buy the book, but what's the cut off for...

Alas, Surter has been banished!

(I can't believe I spelled it that way. I know better.)

Sijo -- I'm not sure what you mean. How did those clear and direct sentences "lose you"?

Right. You got it.

I just made up the 30 to 40,000 readers thing (like I do with so many of my facts!), but I checked the numbers a minute ago, and when he took over Batman, the sales jumped from 76,000 to 113,000. And...

Oh, and one thing I COMPLETELY forgot to mention in the column. Speaking your mind had its price back then. Harlan Ellison and Gary Groth were sued for $2,000,000 for speaking honestly and FAVORABLE...

Yeah, RTJ, if I didn't articulate it in the column, I do believe that Bendis genuinely likes Bagley's art, but my point was that he (and almost every other Bagley supporter) emphasize his speed above...

Do you really think the metagene bomb really made a difference on Morrison's Doom Patrol? I mean, sure, it allowed Kupperberg to clear the deck, but he didn't need a crossover to an event to do that....

DarkBeast, your post may be my favorite post ever!

New Maths for the super-win!

Yeah, I should totally look into this Morrison guy. What has he written again?

I hadn't even thought for a second about the price issue, but of course it does cost A LOT more to buy all the tie-ins these days. But I make a heck of a lot more money now than I did when I relied...

My understanding of the timing is that Secret Wars was created in response to news about DC's big event, which was not yet called "Crisis on Infinite Earths." So Secret Wars may have hit the stands...
