hey guys- @stuclach -- you make a great point..that's why books like these, where they go beyond typical superheo stories, would be so great to find in a library...of course, there's always instocktrades.com, too ;)  Thanks reading the article..I know it's long but...sigh, it could have been MUCH longer, it's just hard to figure out how much detail to go into when doing an overview of t...

...and The Flash, dammit!  Never gets any respect...

nice work, everyone! Yeah, sorry about the mental image, it was a Cabaret/Vaudeville bus...Sonia thought I was actually working it as Zatanna, bit Marandalee did a lot better than I did...  yay, iFanbase!!!

haven't read it but it just makes me even more excited to get my books on Friday...right on!

hey guys! Thanks for the comments; I apologize, I didn't realize I was repeating what was already discussed in Booksplode! I hadn't heard the episode because I hadn't read the book!  But I am relieved that I am not the only one who was noticing this about Kirkman. At first I thought it was just a trap that beginning writers fell into, but perhaps not.  @Amircat--that's funny...I fi...

@Diabhol -- oh that's right--I mean, okay, it DID rain last week..but then it was 90° two days later so I forgot about it.  I am with @jurassicalien -- it's so frustrating to have these special editions, these ULTIMATE editions only to have something even MORE special and even more ULTIMATEr with the bluray crap.  no physical media will absorb us all eventually, but until then,...

Really great conversation, guys. Perhaps it is the rain, I dunno, but it's been a sobering and frustrating couple of weeks and I guess I am heartened that there are other folks struggling with the same questions.  I mean, yes, I know, it's "just comics"--but it's not. It really is not. I sometimes feel like comic book fans are propping up an industry that rarely acknowledges the...

@stuclach--I changed the photo. I just liked Darwyn's look (I grabbed it from the interview) but yeah, it was vaguely "Raiders of the Lost Ark Face melty".  thanks for the link. thanks for the great feedback, all. I was, honestly, worried about this article because I wasn't sure if people would care about yet another digital conversation, but, you know, we are seeing technologi...

  Hey guys! For me, I will pick up a comic in the hopes of it "Getting good" or to stay on until I "get" why everyone else is getting it. To be fair, while I have been kind of on the "ho hum" tip for the STORY in Thor, I really quite liked the art and I wanted to give the story a chance. Like, everyone's always talking about Thor and I don't really have a h...

@pdallor -- good idea for the column...we'll have to sneak that in somewhere!  thanks for the great comments, all. I was curious to see how people felt; I wasn't sure if I was in the minority or not, but it's nice to read nuanced comments about it from you all.  Ha, yes, I guess we do use the word "trope" a lot..but, like-that's kind of the word to use, right?   &nbs...
