This. Most 6-7 part series could easily be better at 3 or 4. And I can’t remember the last time I saw even a 12-episode season of an ongoing that didn't need some story editing. Mad Men, perhaps?

Ennis’ animus for superheroes is really odd. He started his career as an aspiring superhero comic artist, and when that didn’t take, became a writer, and that’s when the anti-superhero vibe started. Often wondered if there’s a connection.

there’s only one man who could have been in Star is Born: the Chinese, and the king. And i’m... actually, no Kris Kristofferson. And James Mason. And Bradley Cooper was very good, actually...

Doc Shaner art with Amanda Connor on the cover? Why can’t all comics look like this?

...or never watching it...

they got along fine in the early years. It was particularly after Jack left for DC that things got bad between them. (But then they reconciled at ComicCon a few years before Jack died.)

which reinforces the question most of us asked when she first got this gig: “who thought that was a good idea?”

“He’s either too dumb to be president or he’s too callous to the suffering of his fellow Americans to be president.”

awwwww.... that was awesome...
