I read Metal, which I thought was quite good, and all the callbacks to Final Crisis and the last page really sealed the deal for me.

Admittedly, that was before Tom King was the "next big thing" writer.

Count me as one of the very few people in the world that prefers their Thor run (once it really gets going when Hercules shows up) to their FF. There's just something about Stan going faux-Shakespeare and Kirby stretching out even further cosmic than he had with Galactus and the like that really gets me.

Just about everything you've said about the DC shows above you could say about the Marvel TV efforts - particularly their Netflix series, which are a decompressed mess, by and large. I'm not gonna say anything about Agents of SHIELD, because I gave up during the second season, but the Netflix shows take about 5…

Too cowardly? I'm not a fan of any superhero tv show besides Legion, but I totally understand why WB doesn't want to tie in their tv shows to the films. For one, they have a minuscule audience compared to their big screen brethren. And if you're talking about copying the Marvel Television approach, those shows are…

Oh right, I forgot about that New Gods special. I didn't care for the Davis main story, but the backups are just about worth the price of admission.

For what it's worth, Sim doesn't care if you download it - provided the legality of it is a barrier for you.

That's where I started funny enough. That was the selection my book club chose, and I read a little bit here and there from both Church & State and High Society, in that order for whatever reason. I'm excited to burrow through it all, just to say I did it. There's something (morbidly or otherwise) appealing about a…

I'm a fan, but their shipping is very slow, and they often take a few days to even pull your stuff together for shipment itself. It's worth it if you're not in a hurry and are big on condition.

I think Walta from The Vision is illustrating that Dr. Strange book, isn't he?

The end of The Love Bunglers.

I'm just such a fan of that era of Keith Giffen's art, that I'd love to read the real source of it.

I think Shade is DC's best current book. Keep going with it, this week's issue was fabulous.

Decided, for whatever reason, to start Cerebus from the beginning and see how far I can get before dropping it in disgust.

Let's see:

For those interested, I interviewed Gilbert and Jaime at SDCC for the Beat, my apologies for the self-promotion, guys! It's a hell of an issue by the way, I think their best since New Stories Vol 6. http://www.comicsbeat.com/s…

Yeah, they've got a whole TV adaptation line, or they did a few years ago…Saved by the Bell, Punky Brewster, etc

Oh I like her attitude just fine, it's just that the stories haven't added up to anything so far.

This Fontana WW run, two issues in, has not been good. I'm not a huge Robinson guy, Starman aside, but at least he'll pump SOME kind of excitement into the proceedings.

whatcha think of Shade?
