NIGHTWING #9
May 18, 2012 10:56 am Wow. This is the best issue yet of the new Nightwing run. It's nearly as good as Snyder's Batman.

Mark Waid’s Thrillbent Presents INSUFFERABLE #1
May 1, 2012 8:32 pm This was good stuff, as was "Luther" which is also on the Thrillbent.com.
I'm wondering about how Waid plans to make money. Ads? Merchandise? Selling movie or TV rights? All of the above? Maybe he's going to follow the Penny-arcade.com model which is "most of the above".
Good luck to him and I hope he keeps the high quality, free comics coming!

THE SHADOW #1
April 24, 2012 3:16 am Not enough action, but a good start. I'm sticking with this for a bit.
I love the pulp stuff; The Spider, The Shadow, Doc Savage.

Kinect Star Wars: The Dancing Game?
April 2, 2012 6:05 pm No. This is totally the scene from The Empire Strikes Back, when Han and Lando had the dance-off in Cloud City. However, the continuity is wrong because the dance-off happened BEFORE Han was frozen in carbonite.

March 24, 2012 6:28 am Yep. This is a great book. It's my pick of the week. Again.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE #1
March 12, 2012 10:41 pm A movie tie-in/promo for $3.99. Unless it gets good reviews, this is one I'll skip.

This is Called Twisting The Knife: Marvel Teases CAPTAIN MARVEL in July
March 12, 2012 7:14 pm Carol Danvers? That's not terribly interesting.
Good luck to the creative team, but it wasn't that long ago that the Ms. Marvel book failed.

This is Called Twisting The Knife: Marvel Teases CAPTAIN MARVEL in July
March 12, 2012 4:36 pm Bendis on Captain Marvel could be interesting, but I think it's more likely the next project for Hickman. Space opera seems right up his alley.
But what if it's the return of Jim Starlin? Hmm.

This is Called Twisting The Knife: Marvel Teases CAPTAIN MARVEL in July
March 12, 2012 1:19 pm The snark led me to stop following some of the Marvel higher-ups a while ago. I've always been a Marvel zombie, but couldn't take their constant DC-bashing over the new 52. As if Marvel's never rebooted their line (Heroes Reborn? Ultimates? And countless other title reboots).
Interestingly, for the first time ever, I now read a lot more DC than Marvel.

VIDEO: The Biggest Trailer Yet for ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’
February 29, 2012 12:49 pm Looks great!
Only criticism is that Cap's costume looks a little hokey. It was much better in the first Cap film.
