Re: Predictions for 2012

I'm tempted to actually echo your prediction, but I think I'll go with this: Bestseller: X-O (I think this is going to be more of the widescreen action comic) Critical Darling: Archer & Armstrong (I think they're going to tug on the same strings the original BWS run did. It may not be a huge sel...

Re: Which Of The Four New Valiant Titles R U Most Excited Ab

A&A for me! Can't wait to see how they handle these guys, what's changed from the original version, etc. I'm very excited about the other books, but I can't believe that A&A is part of the first wave of new Valiant books! I personally think it's a bold move and shows how much they're focused...

Re: Summer of Valiant: Day Two

I was already excited about everything, but after seeing the Harbinger cover, and how it really does nod to the original #1, that just took my boner to 11. I'm dedicated to following the ENTIRE Valiant Universe they way I wish I had been able to follow the original. I am looking forward to the retur...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

After some consideration over what old creative runs to read or re-read, I think I'm going to tackle John Byrne's Namor run from the early '90s. Byrne wrote AND drew the first 25 issues and wrote the next 10 or so with Jae Lee on art and I have that whole set of issues and have never read past the f...

I am approaching completion of my complete re-read of the Morrison Batman run. I am now on the last stretch, reading Batman, Inc., of which I am now through the first 2 issues. As I was reading through the middle act of this run, I believe I have devised a nice, neat way to read through the combined...

Read my way through Batman 676-681 this morning.

RIP most definitel...

Re: What comics are you reading now?

Finally got around to rereading Morrison's Batman. Because it's a bit of a multiple-choice decision in how you go about reading it, even early on, here's how I've gone about it: Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 6-10 Arkham Asylum Batman 655-658, 663-669, 672-681 This is just for starters. I've onl...

Re: God Loves Man Kills & Death of Captain Marvel

One reason why I think Nightcrawler was such a strongly resonating character for you in GLMK is because Nightcrawler has always been an openly Christian character and Christianity/religious faith is one of--if not THE--main theme of the story. How can you use Christian faith against someone who shar...

Re: Shooter's Most Recent And Perhaps Last Legion Run

That particular Legion run is the only Shooter-written Legion stuff I've ever read. How does earlier Shooter Legion material stack up? How does it compare to, say, the DnA run which I would say is my favorite Legion run even though I haven't read the entire thing yet.

I have to say that I really enjoyed it overall, but you can definitely tell as yo...

I didn't do the long boxes because they are just too bulky and heavy. I bought them two at a time until I had everything boxed up. Onl...
