April 11, 2012 3:24 pm I don't know if anyone mentioned this on the other thread, but I feel like this ties in with the comments about being able to write a good Superman story. Aren't Invincible and Irrideemable just other versions of a Superman story? This kind of ties in with Jim's comment about Superman being the Model T Ford. Writers use the Superman Concept, all the time. There are so many different versions of Superman- The Sentry, Hyperion, Supreme, Plutonian, etc. Every universe has their version. Usually, the power gets to them and they do horrendous things. I think the best Superman Stories are the ones that show his true potential, and how terrifying it is, and yet he chooses to be the clean cut hero that he is. In the other article someone commented about how the real 'Wish I could be' factor that Superman inspires is the fact that we wish we could be as good a person as he is. He is that good even though he has power to basically destroy the planet.

March 29, 2012 8:48 pm The animation on Green Lantern seems uninspired, but it doesn't keep me from watching it, or enjoying it. I grew up (as probably most of the people who use this site) watching the classic transformers, GI Joe and Ninja Turtles and so most modern cartoons seem lame in comparisson. there are exceptions, such as Justic League and then the Beast Wars transformers cartoon. The CGI Green Lantern reminds me of Beast Wars a lot. they are taking the Red Lanterns in a completely different direction , but I like the set up they have for the story. I bet there will eventually be a crossover.

September 13, 2011 6:44 pm I was thinking that the woman in the cloak was actually three characters merged into one. Raven Void some female vertigo character The only thing we really know is that Red Glowing Girl has been aware of three separate time lines- The old DC, Wildstorm and the part of Vertigo that had Constantine and Swamp Thing. Has raven shown up in any of the relaunch books? Has Void?

August 29, 2011 8:23 pm Man, Froggulper do you have a wide grin on your face when you tell Children that Santa doesn't exist? That was like a suicide note for comic book fandom. Uggh,

March 27, 2011 9:19 pm Im surprised no one else is fipping out on Ron Swanson. That is just a joke post, right? Who the hell would write 90% of comics have crap writing, and great visuals, and that is why we like them, on a site like this? It is a joke, right? I mean why would you have a username on here?

February 7, 2011 11:29 pm I am glad you posted this article for two reasons:

1) Sure this movie is sort of B-film bad, but it is really entertaining. @Marshak, you are right, I would watch this over X-3 any day too.

2) I was sort of bothered by the lack of Judge Dredd knowledge on this site, and the sort of proud to not know what it was, when the news of a new 'Dredd' movies was coming out. So many of our favorite comic book artists and writers came from 2000ad, not to mention that there have been numerous crossovers between Dredd and characters like Batman. I am not some sort of Judge Dredd advocate, but in terms of comics, I would say that Dredd is as big in the UK as many of our main icons are here.

February 3, 2011 2:00 pm This article seems like the positive follow up to the 'Comics Industry Sinking Ship' article.

I wasn't lying about the CGI thing. has it already been revealed that what I said about Superman being CGI is just a rumor? I really hope it is. This movie has a lot going for it, Nolan's brother, Jason Goyer. A CGI superman would be god awful!

No one seemed to mention the crazy rumor I heard at movieweb, saying that Goode would play clark Kent, but that he would be CGIed as Superman. Here is the link: http://www.movieweb.com/news/NENKsC5xZejIRP
