No you don’t, and though I enjoyed his arc in DD, I think you guys are better off watching this series without prepping for that. It will lose the emotional resonance with Karen Page in her scenes, but she seems to be such a tiny part of this that I think the trade-off is worth it.

No getting up from the Emerald Flowsion. Misawa all the way, baby. He had a half dozen of the baddest, most-devastating and cool finishers of all time.

Being laid-out sick today I have had an opportunity to check out this series. I planned on giving the first episode a try. Already three in, and I think it is the strongest Marvel series by a long shot. It’s brilliant pretty much across the board.

While it’s definitely a good choice, it feels more than just a tad like it’s following in the footsteps of Thor, prince of Asgard, aka “Point Break”, the God of Surfers. Only not as well written or acted.

Thank you for mentioning this. As a fan of Herc’s from Kirby through Layton to Pak and Van Lentis, I noticed and approved of B:B&B stealing liberally to make Aquaman so compelling.

We have some proof right before us in the form of the photo and her accompanying statement, in which she is clearly not telling the truth about the photo. This doesn’t mean she isn’t telling the truth about other stuff, but it certainly is a fact that can and should be taken into account when rendering judgment on this…

Genius.

I recognize that I’m kind of late to responding to this coverage, but I only finally was able to sit down and read Victor LaValle’s Destroyer. I didn’t want to risk spoilage by reading this article before that.

Beautiful photos and great write-up. I envy you your time with the 300SL.

Amen. And I grew up on Barry.

Dude, I started thinking of similar shit. It was actually thinking at the end that he was the cause of the strange jump. Before that I thought maybe we were watching him ascend in his success and fame into something that leads to the Mirrorverse empire, and that yes maybe that weird jump took them all to the standard…

Ten minutes into the mid-season finale, it had my favorite captain yet and looks to have convincingly laid the basis for integrating any and every version of Star Trek into its reality. This show is so not fucking around.

Cletus Van Damme forever!

Well, I have to cop to two things... first (and fairy embarrassing) when we were talking about Dancer I was actuary thinking Traveler. He’s Mr. Mary Sue Prime for me. Dancer has been a much more intriguing character.

Catman SUUUUUUCKS. Probably because Secret Six blew chunks...a singular example of trying way too hard to make personally-loved characters cool and failing. Just like pretty much all of Torchwood.

That is a Hell of a great “single” page comic, and even more excellent given how true to Loki it is. Thumbs up. I guess I’ll be picking up issue #26 now.

Honest applause for a nerd-job well- and lovingly-done.

But he’s very clearly not Erickson’s character. Even in Erickson’s books I had to hold my nose whenever he showed up or whenever people went on about him in the third-person. Much like the Crimson Guard. Very, very easy to tell whose characters those were originally. And yes, you are right, different strokes for…

I must honestly admit that I did not. But I also always found Dancer to be perhaps the most annoyingly Mary Sue character in the Malazan world.

I would say that every fantasy epic fan should read Erikson’s Malazan Chronicles. I find Esslemont’s writing pretty bad across the board. I wouldn’t have added this negative review except I don’t want people reading Esslemont first and being turned off from trying Erickson’s books.
