I'm not a Thor fan persay but this looks pretty good. Actually really good. The video quality is a bit dark, it was hard to see everything but I think you can get a good
Read more…Plot holes that absolutely destroy a story
Sometimes there are plot holes in a story that you can overlook because the rest of the story is so good. Other times, however, they are just too damn obvious to give any leeway to. The first Flash story arc with Barry Allen reached the breaking po

My efforts to get my wife reading comics have paid off. Just a moment ago, Kathy stepped into the office and asked, "Okay, what'd you do with the American Vampire?" I'd showed her the first issue when it came out, but I didn't realize she'd been foll

I went to a garage sale yesterday and they had a box of comics for 10$. I didn't go through them very far but what I did see was that I didn't have most of them but also wouldn't be keeping any. I'd just read them and pass them on. I decided that 10$

I figure, why not set up a thread for us to cheer the verious bits of news coming out of San Diego this weekend.
My first fave (and possibly the one to beat for the whole con): Astro City's been optioned as a movie, and Kurth Busiek gets first pass at
Questions about Heroes Reborn
Recently, I found some Captain America issues in a dollar box. They were from the tail end of Volume One, all written by Mark Waid, issues 444 and 446 - 450. While I enjoyed the writing, the art was not to my liking ... Ron Garney, doing his best t

Today on his Facebook page, Kurt Busiek tells us the folks from Westboro Baptist "Church" (quote marks mine) will protest at the San Diego Comic Con on Thursday. I won't give these people the satisfaction of linking to their site, but it's there on

I know there are some folks using their iPads and IPhones for comics but I'm using a android phone so I figured I'd post some apps I found and see if anyone has any of their own to post unless I'm the only android phone person.....
So my son Pat calls me today and says "guess where I am"...
"Where?" says I.
"COMICON!" He shouts.
All he said was he knows a guy who knows a guy who knows someone who was able to score him a pass for today. Once he got there, he sat in on a discussion with Stan Lee (which in and of itself is cooler that coo
Comics for the week of July 21, 2010...thoughts...
I read a bunch of stuff last night, but the three comics I enjoyed the most were Batgirl, New Avengers, and Archie.
Batgirl - I've been reading good things about this new series on the net for awhile, especially regarding Bryan Miller's use of

I mentioned over here that I bought a few items at Barnes and Noble's recent clearance sale (thanks, Pete!) and they threw in a bonus item, a paperback book touting an upcoming A&E series, The Glades. The book included the script of the pilot episode

Read more…Scott Pilgrim
I know there are a lot of Scott Pilgrim fans on this board. Finally, I gave the series a shot. The movie trailer intrigued me and the concept of the series is one that I was pretty sure I'd like. I had flipped through the books before and it wasn't s

- Dang it. I lost my list of miniseries I had. Which is invaluable for the ones that aren't monthly.
- I LOVE that Dark Horse and Image are putting out $1 comic book samplers. There really should be somethign for everybody.

Annnnd today was the day I stopped reading super-hero comics. One that I won't name finally broke me. Collection stops as of now. No joke.
