I completely forgot about the CD-Roms from back in the day. I almost bought one just to have it…I think it might have been all the issues of The Incredible Hulk.

The answer to that may be that DC's Work For Hire agreements are a bit more generous than Marvel's, thus making a digital service a costly investment for the publisher.

Yeah, Waid's big flaw is that he plans things out from issue to issue, which in micro, can work, but sometimes those arcs flail because of it. See the second volume of Daredevil for example.

Yeah, I just don't really have the patience anymore for "sometime later in the year" until Image comes out with a concrete announcement anyway. The delay on Earth War annoyed me in a similar fashion. I'll wait for the trades probably.

I've basically given up on 8house being a thing I can regularly follow. The weird rollout and lack of any actual news about what's happening has definitely dulled my interest.

Not a whole lot, nothing came out this week that I ventured out to the store for, so instead I continued my old issue reading on Comixology.

As somebody that has no real attachment to Transformers or GI Joe (I was a He-Man kid growing up), I was fairly lost by that series. It looked great though!

They did a Lloyd vs Reggie dual commission for me at HeroesCon, it's my prized art possession.

The only self-published stuff I pick up currently are Crickets, COPRA, Revenger, the Frontier anthology (though I guess that's not technically self-published so much as it is a small start-up publisher) and whatever Ben Marra cooks up. But man, do I love each and every one of them.

I think the movie blows, but I can see why the Knightmare sequence is essential for putting Bruce in the frame of mind that he's gotta stop Superman at any cost (especially after he thinks Flash is referring to Superman). The fact that they're fighting at all, well, that's a whole other problem….

Yes, but having seen Haywire, I can tell you I would not want to watch a Carano-starring Wonder Woman film, action abilities aside. She simply cannot deliver dialogue at all.

Late to the party, but I just wanted to chime in and say that Batman & Robin (combined with The Return of Bruce Wayne) is probably my favorite Batman related anything. Those comics were unbelievably fun to read monthly. I don't think Incorporated ever quite lived up to them, but wow, I'll never get rid of those issues.

Does that book even still come out? It seems like all of his output has slowed to very little.

The problem with Gina Carano…she can't act. She's fine in silent roles, like in the majority of Deadpool, but put dialogue in her mouth and she blows it. And that's even in comparison to the not all that great Gal Gadot.

Yeah, Rucka + Azzarello are pretty much the only Wonder Woman runs that have clicked with me in any real way. One day, I'm going to give the Heinberg, Piccoult, Simone run another shot, just so I can say I did.

I think Millar and Morrison killed that character off in their Swamp Thing run.

I just wish the art was better…I think Truog and Wood make for kind of a nightmare combo for my eyes. Much bigger fan of Richard Case's work in Doom Patrol.

I never finished the Parker run. I need to get back to it at some point. I even thought the first Cullen Bunn issue was pretty enjoyable, but I hear many fans did not feel the same way about subsequent offerings.

I also tend to draw a line between independent (where I start to veer more towards self-published works as the defining trait of that term - like Revenger) and creator-owned comics. But we're splitting hairs probably.

I don't think there's a lot separating Bitch Planet or Tokyo Ghost from how some superhero comics are written. The storytelling approach is pretty damn similar. But forgive me, when somebody says something is indie-style, I instantly think Love and Rockets, Cerebus, Concrete, Crickets, that sort of thing.
