I think we're going to see a lot of diminishing returns in the next five or so years. None of them are going to flop or anything but it's been seven years of these movies already. Do you really want to sit through another five years of them? And then more after that?

Batman stalking the base in the White Martian arc is when it really clicked for me that Morrison was going to write a great Batman arc. He just totally understands that character's mindset and it all starts there.

This is sort of what I was trying to talk about earlier. There's this bizarre sense of ownership fans of these movies have for the properties and it doesn't really benefit you in any way. Like, Disney doesn't care about making a good Spider-Man movie any more or less than Sony does. The company's only goal is to

I used to live a block away from a Mormon church and they regularly would pass out copies of the Book of Mormon so I had a stack of them in my house. That thing has some bizarre stuff but the Allreds really lay on the cosmic craziness of the whole thing.

It's crazy fanboyism. If you're talking about your individual role in billion dollar deals involving some of the richest people in the entire world, it's crazy.

Personally, I think the bubble is going to burst on this thing at some point in the next 10 years and people are going to be worn out. I just can't understand the slavish love to these movies. I mean, they're fine, some of them are good but there has to be something else you enjoy more.

Reading it more recently, it's clearly a character he really cares about. His take on Silver Surfer is something I'd really love to dig into to see why Lee was connected to him but I don't know how much there is to see there. I think Lee liked the Silver Surfer as a tortured wanderer but he clearly was fascinated by

I don't know how much longer I can go on Injection. I have only the vaguest idea of what is happening in that book and while there are moments of awesome brilliance, like the fight scene in #2, I feel like this ultimately might just work better in trade.

I think Confession is probably the one to go with for someone who wants that Astro City feel but also wants a longer, serialized story. The collection also includes the amazing Astro City #1/2, legitimately one of the best superhero comics ever written.

They did and it is gloriously bizarre.

I legitimately saw someone on Facebook post that they were boycotting Fantastic Four so that, in their mind, Fox wouldn't make a profit, they would stop making F4 movies in a decade and Disney would get back the license. If there's anything that screams fanboy mania more than deciding that one giant entertainment

It seemed like one of the features of the original Eastman/Laird run from what I understood but it is nice to see that that's carried through. Like, the first issues of this show a guy being beaten by his alcoholic dad and it doesn't feel exploitative or ridiculous or anything. That's super impressive and it actually

I usually go into most of them already exhausted, both by hype and the realization that I'm paying for a movie I already feel like I've seen.

I'll probably read all of Hitman regardless. I want to be able to pick it up before the collections go out of print so I probably need to get it now. For now, I'm more intrigued by it than a fan of it but we'll see.

I really only have nostalgia for the original cartoon and never really got back into it. I'm only on issue #3 and I like the art a lot and Eastman's connection to it is interesting. It also does an admirable job telling a gritty story that doesn't seem unnecessarily grim.

I remember marveling at the cosmic Kirby art when I first picked it up as a kid but I don't know if I ever read a word of it. It's both some of Stan Lee's best and most impenetrable writing.

Hey, it's a Marvel movie. The internet mobs demand you either go in hating it or loving it. Any other opinion is not tolerated!

I started the new IDW run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. As a kid, TMNT was a franchise I loved but I fell out of it fast and other than occasional returns to Turtles in Time, I haven't really gone back. It's a pretty solid book so far with great art but I'm pretty early in.

I'm not wild about either Secret Wars or many of the spinoffs but the way it has derailed so many niche books like Silver Surfer, Spider-Man and the X-Men and others, is without a doubt its biggest crime.

I'm really glad that with modern clickbait we now have to click twice. It's just delightful.
