The iFanboy Letter Column - 12/05/08!
On Dec 5, 2008 4:00 PMUltimate Spider-Man vs. Ultimate X-Men: I've read every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since the first one. It's the best Spider-Man book you can read. It captures the best of Spider-Man and Peter Parker. Peter will never graduate high school, or get married. That's why I am there. It's everything Spider-man should be about. I picked up the first issue of Ultimate X-Men and knew that it was go...
Go to Comment12.07.2008 - 'Punisher: War Zone'
On Dec 5, 2008 9:00 AMSorry, but the Punisher never really clicked with me. I read his Spider-Man appearance and Captain America appearance back in the day...I might wait to see it on Netflix. But then, while I liked The dark Knight, I thought it was a bit too dark. Give me a laughing fish and Mark Hamill any day...
Go to CommentChristmas List!
On Dec 5, 2008 7:00 AMNumber one on my list is the Starman Omnibus Volume One. Next up would be TwoMorrows Age of TV Heroes. I'm waiting for Green Lantern: Secret Origin in trade paperback. (Warning shamless plug:) We just got Netflix' Roku. It's like Apple TV. It streams movies and TV shows. The picture quality is pretty good and the library is 12,000.

On Dec 3, 2008 9:00 AMCynical: One of the reasons The Batman Adventures in all it's incarnations was so enjoyable through the '90's. I may even enjoy this new Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic. I enjoy the done-in-one stories; especially over in the Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four. I've picked up a couple of the MA: The Avengers digests and they are a hoot. Right now, Green Lantern and Ultimate Spider-Man are c...

Go to CommentFive Things in Comics I Miss (Right Now)
On Nov 24, 2008 9:00 AMAmen, brother! I have a whole love-hate relationship with Previews. To me it's like the monthly Sears'-Penney's Wish Book, y'know with all the G. I. Joes. Megos and Star Wars stuff. It's cool to look through that way to anticipate what's coming; but, I hate knowing too much about what's under the cover. I finally stopped buying it. Shame that that's kinda the only way ...
Go to CommentAction Comics: Now with NO Superman!
On Nov 18, 2008 10:44 AMThe shame is that Superman, Batman and most of the other iconic, flagship DC characters are so far beyond help it's ridiculous. I believe that Bendis' run on Ultimate Spider-Man is unique. Maybe what would work for Superman or Batman is one writer or artist for a twelve issue arc. No crossovers. No mutltiple tie-ins. Something like what Paul Dini seems to be doing almost un...

On Nov 14, 2008 4:00 PMConor - I believe the Strazewski-Parobeck Justice Society was only 10 issues. If you've found another 8 somewhere - let me know!! I know there was an eight-issue mini-series before the series launched... That run rocked. The second run with Robinson and Jack Knight as Starman was pretty good. I bailed shortly after Jack did. I'm probably going to catch up myself with the trades. I'm not a...
Go to CommentSimple comics as objects of desire
On Nov 13, 2008 12:00 PMI'm the same way. But, when I started reading comics (about a million years ago), they were a quarter. The first price hike was to thirty-five cents - so I bought fewer. Then fewer and fewer at fifty and sixty cents. I've been juggling what I like to read versus what I can afford to read ever since. There was a time when I did the same thing - I only picked up one or two books. Now...
Go to CommentSo You Want to Write Comics: Influences
On Nov 11, 2008 9:00 AMAwesome! I too aspire to print. I've read a number of Stephen King's novels for the amount of detail that he goes to. Michael Crichton for the same reason. Backwards from the films that were adapted from them, Jeffrey Deaver, Clive Cussler and James Patterson. As you might expect, the books are much, much better. I try to grab a newspaper regularly and a newsmagazine when I can...
