He made great films. He no longer makes great films. The distinction is pretty easy to grasp.

O Brother is beautiful to look at and tells its story visually really well; usually enough to win me over to anything. But it's about 1/3 as funny as it thinks it is, it's a pretty boring take on pre-war Americana music and that phoney 30's country crap is barely tolerable if you've actually spent more than 5 minutes

Blood Simple is great.

Hudsucker belongs in the Pantheon. It's O Brother that should be tossed.

I'd cast her as Nightmare.

Which is a shame b/c Rodriguez is great. Especially his colors.

Modern artist do tend to be more involved with the inks and coloring process than ever before. Kirby was brilliant, but he finished his pencils and then moved on to the next assignment. He wasn't involved with Sinnott, Royer or Severin as they worked the back end of the art.

Art is far more important than writing, doubly so in genre comics. Thor will only ever have a limited amount of emotional depth or thematic resonance. Writing can only make a genre comic good, only art can make it great.

Cameron Stewart takes over for Cooke after the initial start and he's quite good too.

I liked it more than Daredevil.

As great as Palookaville is Clydes Fans is sorta slow and rambling at this point. I'd probably point someone towards one of Seth's more contained works 1st. Like "George Sprout" or something.

WTF … no wonder I skipped superhero comics from 1988-2012 or so.

I just like the Wasp b/c she could/should play so easily as a female character who just isn't the responsible mother/nag.

Yeah he pitched it to be set in the mid 60s. That alone should give him the benefit of the doubt when everyone starts hyperventilating over Wright's departure.

Except for the "I really like Scott Pilgrim" part, I'm right there with you.

Yeah. It stinks when actors play more than one character.

Yeah the Nick Spencer comic is good fun and a solid addition to the new "Superior Foes" - "Spider-Woman" corner of the Marvel universe.

Why is the Thing naked and mute? He's by far the most interesting member of the FF.

It's been longer than 7 years since Mark Hamil did the Joker.

Did DC buy Hot Topic or is it the other way around?
