January 6, 2012 12:56 pm Why do I love reading these statistics so much? I cant explain it, but I do. Great job Ron. @ Ron. I was wondering what the stat on longest run of picks is. I feel like Aaron, Remender, Hickman, and Snyder have all had back to back picks, if not more in a row.

December 14, 2011 8:38 am @cutty - just saw that you'd already made that note.

December 14, 2011 8:33 am @ cutty - Not sure if you consider X-Factor mainstream, but there's been at least one effect in that book resulting from the events of A:CC (sorry for the vagueness, but I''m trying to keep it spoiler free)

October 4, 2011 10:09 am It's a good thing Jason Aaron seems to be rebuilding the Westchester manor in Wolverine and the X-Men. That way the two Avengers bases don't have to be the only two marvel bases being repeatedly destroyed in the NY tri-state area..

September 14, 2011 7:13 am Is that a shoulder mount on the big gun slung over his back? I cant figure out how that the use of the gun is anatomically feasible. For get the whole huge gun thing, why the shoulder mount at the end of the gun? Or am I mistaken and it's just a pneumatic wrench on steroids ?

September 13, 2011 11:05 am Josh, you just blew my mind! I think I saw a hipster on the Subway with that very look this morning. Wearing a Superman T-shirt and jeans and boots with a handlebar moustache. All the guy was missing was the cape. I noticed it only because I thought "this guys trying to look like the superman cover" But now Josh made the Superman cover look like him. Art is imitating life, imitating art.

September 12, 2011 3:54 pm I say either Cable or Deadpool becomes an Avenger. Is there any logical reason for that? No. But it's as good a reason as any for the crosshairs to be very much an X)

August 27, 2011 5:46 pm Now that the thought of a Wolverine MAx by Wood is in my head, anything less would be uncivilized.

August 18, 2011 9:24 am I completely agree with Ron, @ Ron. I have to thank you for discussing the first issue in the audio podcast when you did. I had totally passed it up when it came out, thinking it would be a total let down. In fact when I went back to my store, they had sold out and I had a friend in another city to get copies of the first two issues for me. I totally enjoyed them and looked forward to the next issue and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Thanks again to getting me to read a book I realy enjoyed butt I would have otherwise passed up. This (and the witty banter) is why I love this site.

August 4, 2011 9:34 am Just saw the movie last night and was ambivalent about it.  I've seen the comic in graphic novel format, but was it ever released in issues? 

I ask becasue the movie seemed to have a serialized story with what would seem a cliffhanger moment every half hour or so (i.e. the bandidts appearing out of nowhere guns drawn on the main characters, Wilde's character walking out of the fire, some others I cant recall just now).  where I could visiualize the "to be continued..." at the bottom of the screen.

Also I felt let down in that there were no characters I felt connected to.  The only character I was moderately interested in was the preacher, and maybe Doc (though I attribute that more to Sam Rockwell playing the character).  Craig's character was fairly 2 dimentional and Ford's character had too drastic a change from ornery cattle baron, to the caring "Mayor" of the town.  Olivia Wilde spent most of the movie standing around looking pretty and being the "Deus ex Machina" when it finally became time to learn about the aliens and then destroy them.

I'm a big Craig fan, Ford fan, and Favreau fan. I love westerns and amd a sci fi nut.  The idea of cowboys fighting aliens had me giddy as soon as I saw the first trailer at the Superbowl.  As such I was overall disappointed with the movie.  Like Jimmyboy stated, I was hoping for more "how the West was won" meets "BSG".
