I pronounce AT-ST as "at sit," and I have no regrets over that pronunciation choice.

I read the first Mark Waid Daredevil series. Great stuff in pretty much every way, but most people probably know that. I've been in a Daredevil mood, so I'm thinking I might go back and read stuff that I haven't read before. Ann Nocenti's run is probably the big one I'm missing out on.
When you brought up your sister I immediately expected you to tell us how much money she makes working from home. I think the spambots have warped my expectations for comments.
I didn't mention that I also grabbed volume 2 of Kane off the clearance shelf. Kane's a crime comic made by Jack Staff creator Paul Grist, and he's generally really good. Jumping into the second volume put me a little bit behind on what was going on, but it still had some pretty inventive and entertaining…
I've been getting some Kickstarter rewards recently, including a comic called Sexcastle and Brandon Graham's Complete Multiple Warheads (signed and sketched in!). Those have both been a lot of fun. Sexcastle is a tribute to 80s action movies that essentially has the same plot as Shane, but with a nunchuck-wielding…
I think at the time we concluded that one of the "questions answered" might have been the fact that the teddy bear we saw being dragged around was actually owned by a girl who was with the Others. The fact that the preview made such a specific promise caused us to actively try to figure out what they were referring…
I never commented much because there's always been an intimidating number of comments on these things by the time I reach them, but it's been great reading the articles and comments on these DS9 reviews and seeing how many people care about this show.
Not only was that episode terrible on its own, but I remember the previews hyping it up by making promises that a specific number of secrets (I think it was four or five) would be revealed in that episode, which just made it a massive disappointment in every conceivable way. Also, that Nikki and Paulo episode was a…
It's not FOR you! Look, I like to masturbate in a closed room while people are waiting for pies to cool.
I had no idea about that, and it's really awesome to know. I still need to read Multiple Warheads, but thanks to the Inkstuds Kickstarter I'll be getting a signed and sketched-in copy of it in the near future. Brandon Graham is the first creator interesting enough to tempt me to check out his earlier porn comics,…
I feel like anything that's stated in an article ought to be fair game to talk about in the comments for the article without spoiler tags. I guess it's a bit more ambiguous here since the comments section also acts as a general forum to talk about comics, but it still seems unreasonable to expect that people won't…
Hannibal has repeatedly set Will up to get involved in serial killer death matches, and Will's always done pretty well so far. There seems to be a certain crucible aspect to the whole thing, where if Will dies then it means that he wasn't worthy of Hannibal's attention after all.
I really like how King City acknowledges how incidental the plot has been by having the main character abandon it in the middle of the climax to go help his friends instead. Since the character relationships were the really important part, it felt wholly appropriate. Brandon Graham is definitely close to being my…
Unlike the Undertaker, it's probably safe to assume that Hannibal's winning streak at WillGrahamania will never be broken.
Nobody missed the point of replaying the footage. The point was incredibly obvious. That doesn't necessarily make it well executed or a good idea.
The problem with the "What else could he have done?" argument is that Superman isn't a real person who was really in that situation; the writers put him in a situation where the best course of action was to kill someone. The other problem with that argument is that defying the odds and finding ways to save everyone…
I think I've shit on "The Illusion of Truth" in these comments before, and I'll stand by that. I honestly think that the news piece would have worked better if it had cut directly from the characters sitting down to watch it to them acting all horrified by what they'd seen, with some references to let us know what…

I remember watching this episode for the first time, and based on the way the Klingon storyline had gone I thought it was entirely possible that this episode would lead to a Federation vs. Romulans storyline. As a result, the moment of truth there had a lot of genuine suspense for me. Even though it seems kind of…
The impression I've always had are that his actual powers are shapeshifting including size and mass but he can't really change his appearance (hence the the comparison to Jake the Dog). However, the various technologies he has allow writers to make him do whatever they want. I could be wrong about which things are…
