Shit. I messed up. Meant I preferred it to the film. Sorry

I prefer the book to the novel. It hangs together better for me. Even in its weirdness. Its hardboiled pastiche rings truer for me too

What do you feel is the most underrated comic released so far this year? (Also including holdovers from 2016 that you only got to this year)

Heyo!

I've never seen any version of Grease, sequel or otherwise. I often wonder if I'm missing out.

It never felt like the school or teen stuff actually mattered to anyone. Not even Peter. And that's where a lot of my problems come in. That and I found Vulture and his whole storyline with Damage Control and general character arc to be far more compelling.

What are some of the best and most effective action and/or fight scenes you've seen in comics?

Heyo!

I'm really into Keaton myself. I even saw the Robocop remake in theaters! I guess I'll know how I feel about Spidey in a couple hours.

I just don't believe in things being bad or good. I kinda measure things in how much I enjoyed them. And I enjoyed a lot of ASM2. A lot of it is weird and doesn't really hold up to internal logic. But as a Spider-Man movie that's little more than a character and narrative dead end and just throwing a lot of stuff at…

I actually enjoy the Amazing movies. I particularly enjoy the 2nd one. So much of it works for me in a lot of ways. Especially Zimmer's oddball score.

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention I read that too. And I loved it!

Clarence: Getting Gilben by Derek Fridolfs and Matt Smigel & Laura Langston

What's the comic that reminds you of your childhood the most?

But did you already love Holland to begin with and were super excited to see this film and weren't initially disappointed by a lot of the choices made going in? Because that's where I'm at right now. I'm currently more excited for that animated Spidey coming out in theatres next Christmas. But I'm willing to give this…

Dammit. I'm late again.

Good point. I guess I stopped counting them since it's a step down from their much more comprehensive coverage. But coverage is coverage. Especially when fewer and fewer are doing it these days

You're not gonna believe me but the trailers actually made it look like this could be the first one I'd truly like. Same with the reactions from the usual fans of the films. But instead it's a frustrating movie with a lot of interesting elements that apparently very few people like.

Seems a lot of sites are running similar or near identical "best of… So far" lists. But there's also not a lot of sites that talk much about comics at all anymore. Is that scene ever gonna come back or is this just the state of things til whenever the next state of things comes along?

As I mentioned earlier, I recently saw Baby Driver. It got me thinking though, are there any comics that are particularly impressive with their usage of music? Any picks and/or recommendations?
