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".

@ josh.  I didn't mean that in a pissed off fanboy way or even to hammer him about it.  I just thought it was a cool project to see all the artists working together and no one's mentioned it in a while.

July 28, 2011 3:54 pm Awesome video (as ever).

One question:  How come you guys don't ask him about Image United?  Is it "the project that is not to be mentioned"?

July 25, 2011 10:51 am I agree with Stupendousman.  As soon as I walked out of the theatre I could already see an amazing Winter Soldier story as the basis for a sequel.  Maybe even a move towards in the action/suspence genre along the lines of the Bourne Movies. 

June 30, 2011 5:55 am Good pick! I was totally blown away by this issue. I particularly enjoyed how the pinups were integrated into the story rather than making them bonus material at the end of the issue. Once I read the issue I had even more appreciation for the cover. The placement of the title on the cover tied in so well to the story itself. Kudos to Aaron, Guerra, Jock, Kordi, and the rest of the Scalped team, and kudos to everyone who has supported and kept such a exceptional book going for so long. (In today's industry 50 issues is no joke)

Thor, Hercules, and She-Hulk on the same side?

I imagine the teams were chosen like in that episode of "Saved by the Bell" where Zack made up the teams and then Mr. Belding switched captains so that Zack got the team chosen for Slayter and Slayter got the ringers chosen by Zack. 

(except in this case replace Zack with Iron Man and Slayter with Capatin America)

I beliebe the last ongoing from vertigo was iZombie. And thought I'm sure I'm forgetting others may have been Unwritten before that.

May 24, 2011 9:53 am @Its0for0the0best I agree whole-heartedly. I thought Axe-cop before I even opened the article. 

Though I think the Gotham Central crew desreve an entry as a whole.  That was my second thought as the page loaded up. 

But Kudos for Gordon as top cop, no disagreeing with that.
