Hey, don't drag Ditko into this…. he's… he's not well.

Should of answered your telephone!

Brubaker's Gotham Central is pretty damn solid as well.

Once… Twice… Three times a FAILYYEAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH! Oh the failmanity!"

I imagine an all-night Ducktales party, in fact, would be stifled by a bedtime.

Please not Rescue Rangers, there'd be so many uncomfortable conversations about how hot Gadget was.

Yeah, that end fight in Legend of the Drunken Master ranks up there as one of my all time favorite fight scenes ever. Just something about the balls out wierdness of it (i.e. the running charge at the guy with no discernable strategy in mind, the scene where he just plain stops fighting out of frustration and

L'chaim!
"Innate business savvy…" ey? Little too on the nose for my taste.

Yeah, you're definitely right, i strike "amended" from my previous statement.

But i'd disagree that the early X-Men could be reduced to simply being a "Fantastic Four Rip-off." I think there was more going on there than just the surrogate family dynamic, for example: it was a pretty prescient analogy for racism and race during that time period something i think hasn't actively been amended or

You actually may be right, Penguin, i think i've borne an unfair grudge against the X-Men for several years due to thematic elements mostly. In terms of sheer enjoyable story-telling the Claremont/Byrne years were fantastic.

True that Tea Jay. Other than the Incredible Hercules, my Marvel reading has been restricted to the cosmic branch for nigh on 3 years now.

I often find myself on the defensive in most comic shops whenever i mention New X-Men in a positive light. It really rubbed alot of people the wrong way in the fan community i suppose. Incidentally, it may be the first time since the 60's the X-Men were mildly interesting.

"HOME IS RUN. NO. MORE"

HA! You guys had to interview Dave Sim.

If you could find her Ann Nocenti has always knocked it out of the park.

The Invisibles should be right up your alley if you dug Doom Patrol. It's got a decent amount of the bat-shit insanity that typified DP, but is way more caring and intricate with it's development of characters.

Animal Man eases into the wierd while presenting some of the most likable characters around. After that i'd suggest All-Star Superman and We3.

See, i had the exact same reaction to the beginning of the G-Force trailer but ultimately ended up relieved when i found out it wasn't, in fact, We3.

Flippin A. I wonder where they-re at in making it a film.
