Fair enough, but these are clearly second hand.

His design work is pretty impressive. Those boxes look totally genuine.

Well the Lockes do get brutalized quite a bit over the course of the story, and the villain is the very definition of mean spirited, sadistic and cruel, so it may not be ultimately to your taste. But It's one of my favourite comics of all time, and I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I do.

It's one of those books I really wish I had been buying from the start. But it's not too late to enjoy this issue!n And yes, the more collections the better, HC, TPB, whatever!

Don't give up on Locke and Key. It is a spectacular story, but it took two volumes to really hook me.

Beasts of Burden, you say?! Hello! Best update my pull list.

A better film than its reputation, and he's correct, the opening scene is fantastic.

Showed my GF Superman: the Movie. I enjoyed it as always. I think she liked it too. Reeves is perfect for the role.

Yes, that was a great bit. And you're right. While there's room for dramatic failure and betrayal, I'm not a fan of those being the default. Some idealism is permissible. We can have happy endings.

Fair enough, but I feel if your characters are boring, principled or otherwise, that's more likely a failure of the writer, not the character.

We don't know, and frankly we don't want to know. Some mysteries are better left unsolved.

But women are so scary. It's the only logical response. I don't think they even have penises!

Agreed. Even The Killing Joke has Batman reaching out to the Joker, after he's committed his most terrible crimes, trying to get him help. The angry, revenge driven, no-symapthy-for-criminals vigilante is played out. Let's get back to heroes that want to save people, even the bad guys. Not just punish them.

That's how I developed mine.

Who wants heroes who are are only motivated by their desire to do good? We need real motivations, like guilt or anger. Nobody would help or rescue another person simply because they had the capacity to do so. It's simply unbelievable!

I saw Dead of Night at my grandparents big, dark, empty house in Scotland on TV at one am. Freaked me out so bad I had to bail after the golf story. I can only imagine what a big screen viewing woud be like. One day I'll have the courage to go back and find out how it ends.

Saw Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D at a revival theatre. I'd always enjoyed the obvious "straight at the camera" shots, so finally seeing it in 3D was awesome, campy fun.

No, but my girlfriend was briefly hooked. That was a fun time.

Hey, you sass that hoopy Quokkadile Dundee? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

Big boots to fill. Don't screw it up, that's all I ask.
