Up until the very end the essay had a little bit about goofy Jabba - but as it was, it was still overlong. I'm glad it got some mention here, though.

I agree substantively with everything in this article. But if reading a few of these comments make anything clear, it's that people are really emotionally INVESTED in hating these films.

They had had control chips inserted into their brains during gestation on Kamino. Many of the clones who survived the war had mental problems as a result of what they had been made to do during Order 66.

To be fair: Hickman's AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS didn't become devoted to setting up SECRET WARS, that was the plan all along. I suspect that, even if they would have lost the element of surprise, people would have responded to the story better if it they had been known that from the start. It was never supposed to be…

He's still super aged. Artists just sort of forget that an 80-something year old man could never have rippling abs, and just give him a few wrinkles. I think Brevoort has even addressed the discrepancy with some kind of acknowledgement that some artists aren't really communicating his age very well.

I reviewed a remastered CEREBUS phone book about … 4-5 months ago. If this were a longer article I would have mentioned Sim's influence on the B&W self-publishers like Gallacci and Eastman & Laird but as it was the piece was a little long.

It is the AV Club's policy to review the pilots of every new network show. If there's enough interest, the show will return for more reviews / commentary, as simple as that.

Ummmmm. Have you ever actually met a Flash fan?

I've seen every episode of GREY'S ANATOMY and will continue to do so until the heat death of the sun, so the comment was not meant literally.

Image doesn't hire creative teams. Creators go to Image.

Flipping back through the book, because now I'm curious.

Almost as if it was intended to be a stupid introduction . . . on purpose.

VB is a special case, I think - the pilot episode, which ran in 2003, was one of the worst episodes of any show I can remember. I think there's a reason why it took them a year and a half to follow up the pilot with a regular season - and even then it took me a long time to overcome my prejudice against how terrible…

The Powers That Be at Williams Street got tired of Space Ghost soon after the switch to Adult Swim branding. There were problems with the DVDs from the get-go because they didn't have rights to all the interviews in past seasons and had to cobble them together after the fact. By the time they got around to the last…

Again, we're hamstrung in this discussion by not knowing what of the old EU has been rendered false and what remains more or less intact, but . . .

Although the old Extended Universe has been rendered moot, most stories were pretty consistent in showing that Jabba was the de facto ruler who had the local Imperial governor firmly in his pocket. I think this story shows that the old status quo is still in place in the new canon.

I would never put Quasar - one of my top 3 superheroes - on a list of morts.

"He" is named Caitlyn.

The difference is that Warlock outgrew his Jesus Christ Superstar, whereas that was really the only thing old Wundarr had going for him.

I wonder how young you think I am.
