This comic book is not only a good idea -- it is the BEST idea!

Hmm... Maybe it's the tone of the story I dislike as opposed to the execution. Notice that I see it as a Vertigo-style book and that is hardly an insult. I think my problem is I like my...

Little boys like action. Real violence tends to scare them. If you've ever been in the middle of a roomful of bikers and bikers' kids when one of the bikers decides to try to knife another biker to...

Somebody should have figured it out a long time ago. Huge plot hole. Huuuuuuuuge. I mean HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE.

I'm too old to run, son.

But you do hear of Marvel writers jumping ship left and right. It just hasn't happened lately. But be patient -- it will.

There is no way that Azzarello's Vertigo-ized Wonder Woman is as good a run as Rucka's. No. Effing. Way.

Not really. Computers are way better than slide rules and abbacuseses. MP3's are better than 8-tracks in the car. Superhero cartoons are better. And there's some music coming out today that is...

I read plenty of new comics, kiddo. What age brings is a level of discernment that seems to escape Marvel's current targeted age group. ;)

I don't like the current state of the DCnU. Some titles are good, but overall, I'm just not liking it. I think that it fails as a reboot because it didn't go far enough. At the same time, I think...

I thought that Miller's Daredevil was cheap, uninteresting, and unnecessarily dark. I also think that while a writer will have his/her own style, that if you have too much of the writer's voice in a...

Amen, brother!

Marvel pull-list = 0
DC pull-list = Fables, and soon, Astro City

I used to be a big Marvel fan. I was a big DC fan too. Now, Marvel sucks and DC has lost its identity...

Maybe you have to be familiar with how comic books in America have evolved from the Silver Age into the Post-Modern age. If you aren't familiar with what comic books were before Watchmen compared to...

What an amazing post! You said what needs to be said and said it so well.



You need to read Watchmen. It's fantastic. One of the best comic book stories ever written. And after you read...

You got paid to love the character you were writing. Now you've been paid to kill the character you love.

You sir are a prostassassitute.

I know just how you feel.

I think it is fair to say that, in the course of writing a piece of serialized fiction, there are times when you do hate your characters. There are days when writing is such fun and the spark of...

I think Slott just hates Peter Parker fans.

So, so true. It's gotten to the point where I feel like taking my copy of Watchmen off the shelf and burning it.




I miss the days when writers would just try to turn in a good comic book...

The kid in the jersey in the last issue of Ultimate Spider-man who wasn't Miles. Man, he was awesome!

If the people who made superhero movies were depending on comic book readers to fill their theaters, then there would be no superhero movies. Comic book readers are a very, very, very small segment...

The "Crises" are just vehicles for massive retcons. Personally, I could live without them. Just let the creative teams on the books ignore things that don't work (like Wonder Woman's new origin). ...

If Steve Ditko didn't do it, it's not a good Captain Atom story. DC never knew what to do with him. And really, he's such a relic of the Cold War/Atomic Scare that he just doesn't fit in another...

Yeah. That kind of "dysfunctional behavior" -- campaigning for an entertainment that you love and have an investment of time in -- is why we have a new Star Trek movie this month. Sure, maybe you...

I agree. To me, the DCnU is much more like Wildstorm than it is like DC. Never was a Wildstorm fan. Never was a Jim Lee fan either.
