I'm really loving this show. I watched Smallville when it was on, but I never had the "CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT EPISODE" feeling that I've had with every one of the Arrow episodes so far. I was a bit nervous when they decided to go a different route from the Smallville Green Arrow, as by the ...

Every time I skip a .1 issue that seems like a really lame fill-in, I get a twinge of not having a "complete set". But the concept of a "complete set" has pretty much gone in the dumpster anyway with all the re-numberings. Yeah. And in cases where I get all of them regardless of...

I really had to think long and hard on whether to pick up anything from Marvel Now (and actually, from Marvel in general) with this new underwhelmingly relaunched/renumbered relaunch/renumbering. I'm really unsure what's going on over there with them. Between the horribly dampened "not going to...

I think that by far, the actual review and opinions therein are key to my purchase decision, not the recommendation at the end, and so I'm not sure a point scale would be all that useful. Useful things in the podcasts are descriptions of the art style, synopsis of the story, opinions on wordiness an...

I was just a DC/Marvel guy until I started listening to this podcast and now I order almost as many indies as I do from the two majors. Keep up the good work! Almost the same thing for me too, I'd previously always just closed previews after going over marvel/dc/dark horse. If I had to cut back to ...

Crossed #0 (Avatar) - Looks interesting, and it doesn't seem that #0 is all that important to pick up, if you had not done so. (and yes, it looks to be super violent, so reader discretion is advised) True Believers #1 (Marvel) - I had heard some very positive, and also some negative reviews of this...

Comic book writing + babelfish = amazing spiderman?

In the most recent issue of The Amazing Spider-Man (#567), there is a pane in which one of the characters speaks french. Unfortuanately, it wasn't exactly translated correctly. I might be one of the few people to have noticed it, but it bugged me enough to take me out of the story a bit, and enough ...
