It's just about the music, maaaaaaan.

The riff in Drawing Flies is just so sick. Especially that verse where it's just the bass playing it.

It's a great run. An amazing subversion of superhero comics that was before it's time—and so few people noticed.

This is the accepted nerd opinion, but it is also wrong.

Charlie Huston writes or GTFO.

Dog Brother #1 is #1!

the C64 version of Friday the 13th was legit awesome and scary.

Yes, this was awesome. This is the avclub I love, not the buzzfeed style garbage.

Yeah, simply not true.

"evinces" is pretentious, but "important white guy book" is clever? I think you got things turned around there.

Sounds like a rip off of Charlie Huston's excellent book, which was also titled Sleepless. Justice for Huston!

The prose in this article reminds me more of a buzzfeed list than the avclub. Look at this, it's just a shade above point form:

Going to throw in here that if you like the 'mats you should really check out Bash & Pop, which is a seldom mentioned Tommy Stinson project. Similar tone and attitude. "Friday Night is Killing me" is one of my favourite songs.

I like the Ewoks even more today then I did as a kid. They look like teddy bears but are all secret badasses. In retrospect, you gotta realize what a bunch of ruthless and cunning motherfuckers they were to take out the empire security force. Their other major accomplishment in the films is throwing an awesome…

I really, really liked the New Universe (except for Kickers, lol), and Star Brand (which Shooter wrote about half of) a lot. I realize this puts me on the outside of comic opinion, but I think if people would read SB objectively, they would see a really excellent meditation on heroism in the same tradition that runs…

The issue where she and Scott Lang defeat the Absorbing Man and Titania (villains that are Thor/She-Hulk levels of power, fyi) was one of my favourites as a kid.

Roger Stern's run as writer on the Avengers has the best use of the Wasp. She comes to terms with her background and emerges as an excellent leader for the team.

Upvoted for obscure jazz reference.

Well, it may well be a bad film, but Dowd's review is not about that—it's about how it's similar to his other films and the implication that that's bad. That's what got my goat here.

This review seems like bullshit. Lots of directors make the same film multiple times or return to the same themes. The difference here is just Dowd's usual bullshit because it's not a theme/film that he likes.
