    November 8, 2011 12:32 pm Superman in Action > Superman in Superman. For the first time in YEARS I'm getting the two Superman titles and I think with the way it's trending I'll drop Superman after the first arc and keep Action as long as Grant Morrison's vision remains intact. With the new 52 I lost some titles, but I'm trying some new ones. Many of them didn't stick, but if they stick for others, that's fantastic of course, and enjoy your comics. As I start my slow conversion to digital, I'm putting my toe in the water with Animal Man and loving it. But I have to stick with printed for my Green Lantern titles. Can't take those away from me! :) At our local comic shop they're seeing lots of new business with the new 52, which is good, because 1) It's great for business, especially around the holidays 2) This could have gone in a different direction since this new era is also a great jumping off point for readers who are tired and will take their closure and be done with it. I've been mulling looking over my pull list at the shop and dropping some things. Mostly stuff I buy out of habit. Time to focus on what I really enjoy and not what I feel obligated to buy.
    November 1, 2011 12:32 pm A double-dip so soon after release of the 2nd Parker book is a bit disappointing, but if the extras are as awesome as you describe, I may have to take the plunge and get in the pre-order. When you finish up the Rocketeer, if you get a chance, check out the Artist's Edition. Simply. Amazing. It's all outstanding work.
    June 15, 2011 3:47 pm Awesome article, Mike! This lifelong Hal Jordan fan can't wait for the midnight show! I still can't believe it's really happening. Now I know what the Iron Man, Thor, Superman, etc fans were going thru before those movies were released. :)
    May 20, 2011 1:25 pm The other JSA title that Connor mentions is most likely America vs. The Justice Society of America. If I remember right one of the issues had the Spectre on the cover about ready to hand out some of his patented, old-school, Old Testament judgement. The first issue's cover has the Earth-2 Batman accusing the JSA of treason.
    January 25, 2011 2:30 pm @RocketRacoon We've been talking about cutting the cable here at work and we've come down to the conclusion that 99% of what you want is streaming - UNLESS you're a sports fan. The only legit reason to keep cable or satellite is for sports events.

    That said, I had the original AppleTV and had buyer's remorse for about 48 hours. THEN I started to subscribe to video podcasts (like the iFanboy video podcast) with it and haven't looked back and I just recently got the new version. I love it even more than the old one.

    Mike, we're going to have to play Words With Friends soon. It'll give me something to do during a certain weekly meeting. :)
    January 19, 2011 12:50 pm I am mostly happy with this and most likely everyone's big "Huh?" moment is the inclusion of Bane, but I suspect that Nolan will put his unique stamp on it. It would have been nice to have Hugo Strange in the mix as a character in the film. Unless there's some additional casting that hasn't been announced?
    January 4, 2011 1:50 pm The comic shop that Mike Allred draws in iZombie is my own local comic shop - ask Mike or anyone who goes there, it's the BEST comic shop in Oregon and any city scenes are genuine Eugene, Oregon locations. ;)

    I, Zombie/iFanboy shirts would rock! 
    October 18, 2010 1:58 pm I suspect that when we see it in the movie itself that the battery will have its own CGI assists like the costume will and there will be animated green energy moving around in the translucent bits. I, like most of us, am cautiously optimistic about this.
    May 13, 2010 11:54 am Nice article, I made a post on Mike's message board to make sure everyone sees it!
    January 9, 2010 2:02 pm @TeleCarlos - now I recognize her! I remember her from that clip they played on The Soup with Lively talking about Gossip Girl while America Ferrera from Ugly Betty is rolling her eyes at the camera.
