Yeah, I don't hate Christianity or Christians. I don't even deny that Jesus Christ was a real person. I just don't believe in invisible people or miracles.

I haven't bought an X-Men book since Morrison was booted, but my brother is a fiend for mutants, so I will probably bum his copy at some point.

Yeah, but you're a class act.

Sometimes you have to make your own quests in Skyrim.

Oblivion was the first Bethesda (and ES) game I ever played. It's fun going back now and playing it again, now that I kind of know how to play a Bethesda game. For example, day one hour one: ignore the main quest. Check! Then just bang around, doing stuff. The interface, while vastly primitive to a Pip-Boy and the…

I'm the fucknut, thanks.

Deathstroke is so good every month. I have missed my Priest fix and I'm grateful to have it available again, however long it lasts.

I dunno that I would go that far - I love that book to pieces, I really do - but I'm not sure I'd call it "transcendent." I've always been a Selina Kyle fan, but even in my adolescent days I was too embarrassed to buy the Balent bubble-boobs run, and I really, really appreciate Brubaker and Cooke making Catwoman…

Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Storm as the central four, with a rotating cast of support X-Men selected on a mission-by-mission basis.

Remember when Annuals were special events? And not in the "huge, pointless summer crossover" way, but in the way that the first ever Spider-Man Annual was special.

Connor, like his contemporary Kyle Rayner and even Wally West to an extent, was the victim of superhero comics' usual "back to basics" approach. Once Oliver Queen came back, no one was going to care about Connor. Kyle limped along thanks to the existence of the Corps and half a dozen other Earth-born cosmic cops, but…

The Silver Age Batman stories have the stigma of Bat-Mite and the Batwoman and Batgirl Beards and the Zebra Costume. They are fun, but perhaps best not left "in continuity" if you want to lean hard into Bronze Age and later stuff (which is where Batman really begins to shine).

I still like Sleeper. I have fond memories of that Vertigo title he did which has never been collected, the sort of future punk kid thing, but I only read the issues while working at a comic shop, so I have no way to revisit it.

Excellent point - Fan Favorite Brian Michael Bendis - whatever his faults as a writer - is a workhorse, and puts in the time on his titles.

Not on single titles. But Slott on Spider-Man and first Morrison and then Snyder on Batman have been pretty long runs, spread across a couple relaunches and annoying renumberings.

How I fucking hated Vengeance. I was still stupid enough to keep buying that book, but I started to hate every issue after that.

No, he's got leggings.

That scene with Vicki Vale never bothered me, strange to say, nor did Batman blowing up the Axis chemical plant nor throwing people off the cathedral. I didn't quite "get" Batman at the time. That movie opened my eyes, and I also started collecting the trades that exploded at the time (I first read the complete DKR in…

Blackout is great, probably the best villain from that entire run. Deathwatch was pretty lame in retrospect, but Blackout I think was decent enough to keep around.

Dixon's Nightwing run is solid, fun, action-packed adventure comics. Scott McDaniel is also the perfect artist for the acrobatic, laughing young daredevil, too.
