Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Ice Cream Man Vol. 1: Rainbow Sprinkles"Thanks. I'm impressed by the variety in just four issues, so I'm definitely on board for the next collection at least."
Travis Herrick (Modular Mod) replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Ice Cream Man Vol. 1: Rainbow Sprinkles"Good review, Mark.
This is one of those series, I'm still not sure if I like it or not. There have definitely been some interesting issues, and it has held my interest enough to keep reading. I'm just not sure about it though."
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Men of Wrath"I've met him, and have to say that he seems more soft-spoken writer than tough guy. But at the same time, key elements in this story come right out of his family history, so I don't know. His true self is probably somewhere in between. If…"
Wandering Sensei: Moderator Man replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion Men of Wrath"I know I read the first issue of this back when it came out, but I'm pretty sure that's the only one I read. I thought it felt like Southern Bastards. I think what caused me not to read any more of this book is that I heard an interview…"

Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Captain Comics's discussion TV shows I am binging"I have been watching the Showtime series Homeland, courtesy of our year-long Hulu trial. Several episodes into the first season, and I like it a lot so far. There have been several surprise developments, and I expect more. Just what I want…"
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Gene Phillips's discussion Significant Comics Serials or Concepts since 2000"Yes, Vertigo started retaining some rights on the creator-owned stuff, mainly licensing to other media. As I understand it for new projects creators were cut out of negotiations for film and TV rights. So that's not really ownership, is it?…"

Archangel William Gibson & Michael St. John Smith, creators; William Gibson, script; Butch Guice, art IDW Publishing, 2017Renowned science fiction writer William Gibson makes his debut in comics with this series.

Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Gene Phillips's discussion Significant Comics Serials or Concepts since 2000"If you're looking for broad trends, I'd point to the rise of creator-owned projects and imprints. Vertigo began in 1993--but by 2000 it was almost entirely dominated by creator-owned series (as opposed to revamps--including Y:The Last Man…"
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'The Orville' Season 2"Yes, that is a strong bit of continuity. It was also impressive that Bortus actually learned something from the rescue experience, giving some resonance to the partially failed rescue."
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'The Orville' Season 2"I was surprised that it was only a partial rescue, too. My wife and I both thought that the porn addiction story line was a bit heavy-handed. Made us wonder if there wasn't some personal history among the writing staff."
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to The Baron's discussion Movies I Have Seen Lately"Finally saw Avengers: Infinity War on Netflix. Fun, but I do have to wonder how much the big changes (especially the ones at the end) will stick. A Marvel universe without so many major players just screams "reboot!" to me.
I…"
Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod) replied to Mark Sullivan (Vertiginous Mod)'s discussion The Beauty Vol. 1"I was intrigued enough to go on; seems like there are many directions it could go. Probably helps that I'm reading it in collected form, for free."

Heroes Convention 2009
Posted on June 19, 2009 at 11:26pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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). These writers all know each other, and had a good time tossing the questions around,… Continue
