Re: Mayo Report

Following this story today got me thinking. Many people follow creators as much, if not more than particular characters. But besides Snyder and Capullo, who are the creators at DC that fans are talking about? Years ago a Marvel editor got a lot of flack for saying the characters, not the creators, s...

Big Valiant Movie Announcement

Seems like Valiant is looking to finally compete with DC and Marvel at the movies. Hopefully this news will draw some attention to the books.

Fantastic Four

On the most recent spotlight the latest issue of Fantastic four was discussed. Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying it. Here's the thing. For over 25 years of comic reading I maybe have read 4 FF comics. They were just characters that never interested me. The only reason I started reading the cu...

Re: Marvel Secret Wars vs DC: Convergence

I remember years ago seeing an interview with Darwyn Cooke. To paraphrase he basically said the problem with modern mainstream super hero books are that they are designed to only appeal to the nostalgia of 40 year old men. Harsh and over simplifying I know. But these events really feel like this. It...

Marvel Secret Wars vs DC: Convergence

Today Marvel revealed what next year's Secret Wars story is about. Different Marvel universes brought together to fight each other. Which is exactly what DC: Convergence is to be about. It's like they can't even bother trying something new anymore. I'm not bitter. Just been on the event roller coast...

Re: 2014 fall television season

Watched the first two episodes of Constantine. It's ok. Not great. Not awful either. I followed Hellblazer for a long time. This feels more new 52 John rather then Hellblazer.

Re: 2014 fall television season

Thanks to your brief positive mention of the show Revenge I'm now about half way through season one of Netflix. Soap opera like but still interesting. So far like the twist and turns. Curious to see where the show goes. I see Netflix has the first 3 seasons. I'm assuming the new season is 4. So I go...

My review of Marvel digital unlimited

Back during the San Diego Comic Con Marvel offered a special deal to try out the service. Normally it cost $9.99 per month or $69 for the year. But for a limited they offered a month for .99. So I thought I would give it a try. For my review I tried it out on an iPad, iPhone, and a PC. I'm not going...

Re: Teen Titans ad: weapons? tools? huh?

Same people likely came up with that ad for the new Grayson series. " if you think you know Grayson, then you don't know dick". Really? Who works in marketing there? 15 year olds?

Re: Comic-Con International 2014

Great job on the con coverage. Really nice look at the ground floor of what to see at the con. Not just giving the announcements. Liked hearing about the lesser talked about booths such as some of the TV show booths you and your sister mentioned. By the way, your sister is very good at the podcast c...

Re: Get Marvel Unlimited for .99

So I bit, and took advantage of this deal. I have been going back and reading old stuff from the silver age and a few favorite stories from my childhood in the late 70s early 80s. As someone who hasn't read much Marvel since the mid 1990s, any suggestions on things to read to see what the current M...
