How dare you, sir! You would compare "the tones" to "meesa" and whatever else that fucking idiot caricature said?!?

Also, weirdly, Raising Hope seems to take place in the same world as Sons of Anarchy, because in one episode the big guy with glasses who was working toward becoming a member of Samcro can be seen wearing his Samcro cut while he's babysitting his little sister (I think that's what the plot was). My head exploded.

I'm glad somebody else thought that, too! Although on the credits, the copyright date was listed as 2012, so now I wonder if Matthew Weiner, Doc Hammer, and Jackson Publick all hang out together and riff on potential story lines. Honestly, I think the only thing that could make Mad Men better is some kind of reference…

They should, at the very least, retain some of the better authors and artists (especially the artists, sometimes) as consultants for the screenplay. I mean, when you're talking about an $80 million dollar movie, what's $50K to a comic writer or artist to let him or her throw in their two cents?

I was just having a discussion about this subject last night, and I have to say that I think Jason Aaron's "Wolverine fights his way out of Hell" storyline is so awesomely badass that I can't believe they wouldn't want to make it a movie. So yeah, I do think there are stories from Wolverine's series that could work.…

Without discussing the merits of the healing blood plot point, I thought it was an effective way to demonstrate how one goes about removing an entire film's worth of screenplay meant to solve a problem: namely, we killed off a major character, but now we need him back because there's gold in them 'thar hills!

Thanks!

I think that would be amazing, but I think DC's rather cynical view of cape comics right now is going to prevent anyone from tackling anything substantive. I think our only hope is what was alluded to in the response to that letter—an Elseworlds type story that plays with the issues out of continuity. I think people…

Thanks for that link—I don't think I've ever read a better case against the Batman. And while I don't think I could ever legitimately hate Batman, I can definitely agree that he is pretty Goddamn ridiculous.

I actually think that's the only way a black Bruce Wayne could help Gotham. Whereas a white person with means might be like "fuck the man, I'm hitting the streets for justice" a black person with means, over a lifetime of GCPD hassling, would probably be more inclined to pursue legal remedies to Gotham's social ills.

I can personally attest that having to leap out of an '84 Volvo, in traffic, while trying to drive up a snowy hill, so that I could push the car up the hill, definitely made every driving experience after that more exciting. I wholeheartedly support your "unexpected failure" campaign to increase driving fun!

And even better will be the inevitable off-brand sodas—crack open a frosty Noonien's Choice today!

Crystal Khan is an amazing name for both a soda and a stripper, and thus I endorse it heartily. And Tab Khan sounds like a pretty sweet name for the black sheep of the Khan family. He would totally sell his blood samples for weed.

Since I've actually been thinking about this recently, I thought I'd respond. Basically, I think Batman can only be white. I'm not saying this because I think that's a good thing, and I'd certainly love a way to explore changing his character (although we've all seen what doing that with Superman will do to people),…

That Fisher-Price Castle was awesome! So awesome, in fact, that my G.I. Joes could not resist attacking it while my sister tried to play some stupid non-G.I. Joe monarchy-themed game! Yes, Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes truly had many an excellent battle atop those plastic towers.

It's completely badass, like Mac's "Project Badass" from Sunny, only with more mattresses and fireworks. I actually started reading it after I read a review on Comics Alliance (they were profiling Becky Cloonan's amazing art on some of the early issues) and I got hooked. I can't recommend that book enough!

I know what you mean—every time I go back to the comic shop I swear there are five more books in my subscription folder! If publishers keep putting out this much good stuff, I'll have to start selling blood to keep up.

If you haven't been reading Dark Horse's current Conan the Barbarian offering, I hope King Conan has inspired you to do so. Wood is killing it on that book, and the art is nothing short of amazing.

First of all, you forgot Icehouse. Keystone is pretty bad, I'll give you that, but Icehouse is definitely worse. Second, ranking Gansett higher than Lone Star is just foolishness—Lone Star is definitely "Alamo" from King of the Hill, and thus awesome. Plus it has puzzles. Third, let's get a ranking the shittiest of…
