I liked Batman Year One (although they should've hewed closer to Mazzuchelli's style) but otherwise agreed.

Nah, they're still pretty fun.

He doesn't have any fans.

Nah, it's not terrible, just middling.

Mark Waid, of course, was the only one to do anything worthwhile with the premise.

I love Busiek's Avengers and David's Hulk from the 90's, but the vast majority of it was terrible.

Perfect choice for Marvel's slow backslide into the 90's that nearly bankrupted it.

NO, he's awful.

Get back to work, you!

Yes, thank you for explaining my joke to me.

Pallbearer and Yob both have albums coming out within the month, and I'm freaking out in anticipation.

Transylvanian Hunger could already be a Weird Al album.

Five bucks says the inevitable Garfield reboot three years down the road uses that "Real Gs move in silence like lasagna" song by Lil Wayne in the trailer.

Ah, this remind me of how stupid Year Two was, thanks.

NIP also wrote some of the weirdest Bushwick Bill raps. "I feel like eatin' a bag of barbequed broke legs!" and "You'd better murder me/Put me to rest/Cause if you don't I'll come out shootin/With my head in a bird's chest"

I nominate Eve of Destruction for coagulatin'/comtemplatin'/disintegratin'/frustratin'/etc.

No, Ronnie, I don't see what you mean.

I feel like this most days, to be fair.

As an Asheville resident, I can confirm this. However the favorite type of music would be "jamgrass" or "Christmas reggae-step" or some bullshit.
