I remember getting the internet for the first time in the mid-90s and discovering that there was MORE Star Wars out there that I had never seen. Based on what I'd seen online (on Geocities websites), there was a whole lost treasure of Star Wars media: Droids, Ewoks, the two Ewok movies, the Holiday Special. The

Zeb Wells' credit on Supermansion at least gets me curious enough to watch an episode. He's come into his own as a writer during recent years at Marvel (New Mutants, Brand New Day-era Amazing Spider-Man, Avenging Spider-Man). It's a shame he keeps running away to work on TV properties. I'm a little bit more interested

I'm a bit confused by this though. Don't they often go to the premieres of their movies? I think I read on another site that Kate Mara attended the FF one. I'm just trying to figure out the logistics. Do they show up at the red carpet, hang out in the lobby, and then go straight to the after-party?

There's so many things they could do. Another suggestion: almost anything else than what they're currently doing!

Imagine if Heroes had ended after its first season. Then we'd be feeling MAXIMUM FULLER.

I'm mostly being selfish because I want Tim Drake to become more integrated and vital to the Bat books. He's mostly been left to the floundering Teen Titans books ever since Damian was introduced, and even more after the New 52 reboot.

I'm actually debating whether or not I should continue. I've been buying the 12-issue hardcovers that come out once a year, which brings me up to issue #132. I enjoy burning through them because they're real page turners, but I never have much reason to revisit them and I'm starting to experience diminishing returns.

Kanaan has actually been really good. I think I at least prefer it to the Leia and Lando mini-series. What's made it unique is that it takes place in the timeline between the two trilogies and it definitely improves on the movies in the way it handles Executive Order 66 and the relationship between Clonetroopers and

It helps that Azzarello has a pretty distinct voice of his own, and so the script doesn't come off sounding like a B-list writer trying to emulate someone else's voice.

In my mind, I'd love to see two main Bat books: one focusing on Batman alone and another focusing on the Bat family. I love Snyder's writing of Bruce Wayne, but the family (sans Alfred, Julia, and Harper Row) doesn't really get that much play in the main book.

I really do appreciate Capullo's art on Batman. When the New 52 book debuted, I felt invigorated, as if that artist and that character were some combination I never even knew I wanted. At that point, Capullo was mostly known for his very long Spawn run, so my brain unfairly dismissed him as a sub-McFarlane wannabe

His death in the revived New Thunderbolts series felt very editorially mandated to me. I personally loved the character. Every one of his post-Destiny costumes was soooo cool. It feels like he's practically been retconned out of existence though. Didn't Avengers Forever promise that he'd eventually join the team? I

It really did feel this way. I remember Captain Marvel had that relaunch that made it seem GREAT in comparison to the god awful Marville and the mediocre-to-average Ultimate Adventures. Who knew PAD would stand out so well once held up next to Bill Jemas and Ron Zimmerman?

I know. Just because Chuck Austen decided to choose him as a random redshirt, I don't think we'll ever get a Generation X reunion the way the New Mutants have generally hung around each other over the years. Well, that plus all of the following deaths:

- Killing off Skin from Generation X as an extra, then having Jubilee whine at his grave about how she much she wanted to bone him. Also: his name is misspelled on his tombstone.

As insane and unlikable as Jemas has become, I really do think we do have to thank him and Quesada for saving Marvel from bankruptcy. The books that came before and after their tenure started is like night and day. Some of the major books they revitalized included:

What a great book. I agree that the end of the book isn't as interesting as the rest. Part of it is that there just hasn't been enough distance from recent events for creators to speak more candidly or with more hindsight. It also may have been that the 2000s were when the online community around comics really blew

I was a high school teenager working at my local comic book shop when these came out. Only middle aged men bought Marville, and each purchase had a tacit agreement where I wouldn't make eye contact or ask any questions about their decision.

I'm in the Village Apologist Club, and even I found that scene a little weird. The only purpose of that scene/character is to do a big info-dump on the big "twist" in the movie by describing the exact mechanics around how the society pulled it off. The content - plus the way he hides his appearance (but not really)

Now that you mention it, I see the similarities in the season long plotting where there's a pretty thin connective tissue that runs through each season. Always Sunny, by comparison, uses recurring characters and callbacks but is mostly concentrated on episodic hyjinks.
