I was initially disappointed when I read that part of the review because it kinda sounded like Army of Darkness never happened. Then I realized that part of the fun of the trilogy is that NONE of the movies actually line up with each other, a few creative fan edits aside. So now I'm back on board.

They stood the entire time: talking to fans, sketching in books, and handing off to each other to sign. Very cool dudes.

I tried to post this once before but AV Club didn't let me link for some reason. Maybe I can just link it from my drive:

I recently went from a 7" tablet to a full-on 9.7" iPad (from work) and the difference is quite remarkable. I can never go back. No more zooming in for me!

Hey dude! I actually did see her table on the last day but didn't feel it was the right time because I was showing some friends around Artist Alley and thought it'd be too weird to bring them along for my "Hey! I know your boyfriend because of the internet" conversation. I'll make sure to stop by next time. Promise.

Just for you, @Karlos! Check out these two brothers signing/sketching copies of Two Brothers:

I actually really loved Sweet Tooth. It's probably the most effective Jeff Lemire story I've read. It has some similarities to The Road and The Last of Us while still feeling like its own unique book. Plus I read it years after it ended, so it made me nostalgic for when Vertigo books were the cream of the crop. It

The dolphin was probably my favorite element from the second half. I liked the visual design for Leeward (the second protagonist), but I didn't find her nearly as interesting as Lee Archer (the first one). I think that the second half just required too much world-building in a short amount of time to create relatable

I picked this book up at NYCC last weekend and can't wait to read it. I just wanted to add that Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba were super nice dudes. They always had a queue of people waiting to get their books signed in Artist Alley, and whichever brother was available would do a sketch inside the book. As both of them

The art is REALLY good. I was continually impressed by it, even when the story was becoming a snooze. The double-page layouts were particularly worthwhile.

Ex Machina is a good deal for $25 for the entire 50-issue series too. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the Vertigo series on sale are still in 6-issue collections (Y the Last Man, 100 Bullets) while others have huge collections (Ex Machina, Preacher) but they all still sell for $4.99 each.

- I picked up the complete collection of The Pulse by Bendis on sale. Since I had only read the opening arc before, it made me nostalgic for a time when a book like this could get greenlit. I remember being disappointed when it first came out because I thought it had the potential to be Marvel's version of Gotham

At this rate, we'll never see another Zeb Wells Marvel comic again!

Let's throw Pride of Baghdad in there too.

He barely has enough plot to sustain one book when he does that, too. As fun as the characterization was in All-New X-Men, what was the point of most of those stories? Looking back, I just remember Mystique buying an island for some reason and doing nothing, a bunch of crossovers, an attack from the lame villains from

Oh man. Do not want!

There is one artist tic from his collaborations that I've grown very tired of though: the overuse of double-page "spreads" that are actually just a bunch of panels that could have fit on single pages, but he didn't want any ads to disrupt his momentum. Because the double-page spreads are indistinguishable, it's often

Although I generally agree with all the complaints, I left NYCC this weekend with a renewed appreciation for Bendis. Just seeing people cosplay as Quake (or Maria Hill — it's hard to tell the difference) and all the big news around the Jessica Jones panel made me realize that he's probably the writer who's had the

He looks like an absolute alien in other countries. Just so abnormally tall, pale, floppy-haired, and eager to please. Almost everyone is amused by him, which makes the antics a delight to watch. It's very good-natured humor.

The Cuba episode had me at near-tears levels of laughter during several moments. The highlight, for me, was him improvising with the band by shouting out non-sense Spanish that he probably learned in high school.
