is it hot dogs dipped in ketchup and then rolled in either crushed corn flakes, crushed potato chips or crushed Fritos and then impaled on a popsicle stick and baked/toasted?

now i'm imagining the scene from Sarah Connor Chronicles where they are playing D&D with the rebuilt Terminator John Henry and he has figured exactly how to hold the dice so he can roll a 20 whenever he wants and kill owlbears.

i'm not saying you're wrong, i'm just saying that's a pretty short-sighted and dipshit way to treat your industry.

PM Dawn, hands down. I'm a big fan and Prince Be died last year, while his brother is apparently some kinda sex criminal. Thing that's most bummer about it is that I very nearly was able to see them in 2006 or so - they were playing a show in Chicago and I was living in Ashland, OH. It would have been a couple hours…

yeah, Wednesday Comics is a perfect example, as is the big broadsheet newspaper edition that McSweeney's put out a couple years back - they also did a huge, 16-page comics section full of people like Chris Ware and Erik Larsen and others. it was gorgeous, with pages of comics like artwork you could frame and hang on…

except for how Humps is categorically a piece of shit, almost as big a one as that bearded fatass guard revealed himself to be while driving Bayley home.

that's why you're actually supposed to read the episode reviews and refresh your memory on what happened in a particular episode, not just jump directly to the comments.

Marshall Erickson rules, Ted Mosby drools. BOOM!

i'm from Wisconsin and 6'5 - that's not quite into "obnoxiously tall" territory (James Comey is 6'8, yo!) but it's definitely given me a great view at plenty of concerts. (sucks to be you if you get stuck behind me, tho, so i usually hug the walls anymore.)

yeah but that Wang Chung song is fuckin' awesome so it's cool.

except for how the show had been telling everyone since season one that ted does NOT end up with robin and theirs is not a love for the ages and then spending an entire season tricking us into falling into pretty heavy like for "The Mother" only to yank her away in a bullshit, off-screen, young cancer storyline -AND-…

yeah, an hour or even 90-minute finale "event" for a series that had reached that level of impact wouldn't have been out of the ordinary.

the mangling is something the publishers could easily do something about if they cared - why not package the books with a backerboard with alternate covers or an advertisement for some other book or upcoming crossover or a hotline helping people locate a local comic book store? i mean, jesus, tell people those…

yeah, i've never understood why these companies aren't hiring a bunch of prestige artists and cannibalizing their back catalog to put together a bunch of big 8-page serials which could be run as color inserts with the sunday comics in newspapers across the country. with ad revenue in the toilet, i know the newspapers…

Larry Hama sent me a No-Prize, so he's always going to be solid in my book.

Nth Man is awesome but, like GIJoe, it's a Marvel comic outside Marvel continuity if that matters to anyone. it takes place in a version of our world where kids in the 1960s read Marvel Comics and generally followed "real-world" physics except for two young kids, one who could warp reality and the other who was a…

i'm all for leaving jack knight in limbo but i'd be curious to hear why he doesn't make much sense continuity-wise… i'm guessing this has something to do with the fact DC has reset continuity, what, three or four different times since his series ended?

i only dipped a toe into the 2011+ continuation, so i don't know how it turned out, but i really enjoyed the original run of John Byrne' NEXT MEN in the mid-90s. if you enjoyed his work on Superman, Fantastic Four or the XMen, check it out.

no shit - and why the hell was Book2 of Miracleman not included in the sale?! i was looking forward to picking up the whole MM package and wound up not buying anything except a couple gifts for friends.

a couple we know got into comics big time a couple years ago, first through Moon Knight and then branching into others. they'd never read either so i took advantage of the sale to gift them two of Frank Miller's Daredevil classics: "Born Again" and "Love and War" - i really wanted to give the Elektra:Assassin…
