And the latest back-up isn't even written by Snyder, instead Albuquerque wrote it, and it sucks.

It's better than Brubaker's, but I think past the first incredible arc, Brubaker's run is pretty bad.

I had daydreams about the idea of a BPRD series a year or so back, but realized pretty quickly that I would never want it to happen in the current film continuity…this is finally that clean slate that such a fantastical idea would need. But I'll be happy with a good, accurate movie first.

Oops, yes, Liz…sorry…it's early yet for me!

Sometimes I really like it, sometimes less so, the second arc had some interesting ideas about the apocalypse, but the issues themselves were maybe a bit hit and miss - I found the Poison Ivy issue especially hard to focus on the narrative. This new arc could go either way. I like the idea of globe-trotting Batman…

So this Hellboy reboot news…I am absolutely delighted by it. While I enjoyed the second Hellboy movie well enough, it never really FELT like Hellboy to me. Despite Perlman's performance, the character as written was more of a del Toro type of "monster with a heart" than Mignola's "everyman hero". And that's not even…

Just got back from Italy, and then saw Alien: Covenant, which is fucking horrible.

Also his Archie book is pretty readable, not quite Daredevil-level, but strong.

Baltimore….god awful….this does not compute.

He wants something closer in story and tone to the comics.

Listen, that second Hellboy movie is enjoyable, but the truth is, it's more of a del Toro film that happens to have Hellboy in it, or some close approximation. The movies are just a pale shade of the excellent comics - which between both Hellboy and BPRD, probably form the finest comics of the past 30 years, no joke.…

Fantagraphics absolutely owned FCBD this year, but Marvel and DC offering up Guardians and Wonder Woman issues respectively were smart moves. I also nabbed the D+Q kids comic, and some other random stuff for my non-comics reading s/o. She was very excited about the terrible looking Star Trek comic and the Incal…

It's pitched at a different audience, whereas I think the Milligan+Bachalo run was the quintessential mature Vertigo comic ahead of stuff like Preacher, the new series is more in-line with a YA take on the same concept. Both are wonderful, but in different ways. Also, this one reminds me of pure shoegaze for whatever…

Same here.

yuuupp

Just fight the fucking gorilla next season, okay? No more mysteries.

The Tom King snub in Best Writer is bad though, especially for Max Landis of all people. Guessing that award is probably Jeff Lemire's to lose, he's as "due" as anybody really.

yeah, he's cited it in at least one interview…might have been with Rolling Stone, in regard to the content of the book ahead of its release (he's a huge Los Bros fan, which means between that and Morrison, he's basically a much more talented version of me. I like to think I'm handsomer though).

that's probably also why I love Flex Mentallo so much. It's basically the perfect sequel to my favorite run of his.

Mother Panic is an absolute mess. I can't make heads or tails of it, or what it's trying to be. And the backup story is just awful.
