"Since the original film barely used anything from the comics beyond the title and the basic concept, there is certainly plenty of room for improvement. I'd watch it."

"I've really enjoyed this myself. More than I thought I would. I'm indifferent to Tony Daniel's art usually, but I think it works great here. I don't know if this includes the Blacktop Bill special, but that was very good."

Heroes Convention 2009

Posted on June 19, 2009 at 11:26pm 2 Comments

After a late start, spent almost seven hours at the convention. I attended one panel discussion: "The New Power Generation of Comics" with Brian Michael Bendis, Ivan Brandon, Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, and Matt Fraction. Matt Brady of Newsarama attempted to moderate, with limited success (at one point Fraction turned a question around and basically interviewed Brady instead of the other way around).
