August 31, 2011 9:13 am I feel like I'm the only comics fan that doesn't really care too much about the DC Relaunch. Am I alone here?

March 10, 2011 8:39 pm iZombie is definiately a slow burn, but it is worth your time. I'm not into zombie stuff at all (I'm probably the only comic fan in the world that doesn't read/like The Walking Dead) but I enjoy IZombie every month. It is nice to see a creative team actually building a story up over time, as opposed to the flash in the pan stories that populate most of the medium.

Quirky, fun characters, intruigue, great story telling, cool art...overall, it's a great bool.

January 30, 2011 7:16 pm Just one question for Mr. Remender. Why is Warren so hot to assassinate Apocalypse now? If Apocalypse's continued existence is such a burden on Warren, then why not kill him two years ago during the Messiah War crossover? Not only did Archangel have ample opportunity to slay En Sabah Nur, but Apocalypse was LITERALLY begging for Warren to end his life. After all of that, why did Warren out of the clear blue sky decide that Apocalypse (who after Warren decided to spare him repayed the favor by saving Hope and X-Force from Stryfe and had not been seen since) must die?

Maybe I'm to hung up on continuity. Maybe I loved the old series too much to let it go. Maybe Rick Remender's idea of a good time just isn't my cup of tea. I will give you all of that. But none of that changes the fact that the characters' motivations in this series make NO sense

January 29, 2011 8:52 pm All I will say is, if you were a fan of the Kyle & Yost X-Force series (yeah, all three of us) DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

Now if you have no knowledge on what these characters were doing prior to this series, then you will probably enjoy it. If you were expecting a continuation of existing plot lines and character motivations, reading this series (and all of the hyperbolic enthusiasm surrounding it) might well make you want to slit your wrists as you plummet of off a sky scraper after having overdosed on sleeping pills.

January 17, 2011 1:35 pm Wow...I sent this picture to my brother yesterday, then he sent it to Ron and now...here it is on iFanboy. The interwebz is pretty cool!

November 21, 2010 8:56 pm @ RahUnique I'm totally Victor, you sir are Jimmy. And X-Men Origins was a cool movie...except for Gambit, but then again Gambit is a sucky character anyway.

Once again G.I. Joe Cobra proves to be not only the best licensed book being produced but one of (if not THE) best comic books on the stands.

Cobra Commander's monologue on the theory of cognitive dissonance is worth the price of admission alone!

This serious has been an exciting look into what makes the human mind tick. Who would have thought that an 80's toy property could have become on of the most intellectually stimulating, intruiging and thrilling reads out there? Just a damn good comic book.

@RahUnique...if we're going old school, I'm surprised you didn't say the Busiek/Perez Avengers run.

As for the best Avengers book currently being produced....I would have to say adjectiveless Avengers by default. It has been an interesting story, but the pacing has been torturous. What Bendis dis in six issues really could have been maybe two issues back in the days.

Secret Avengers...the jury is still out on that one. Mike Deodato is a very some-timey artists.

New Avengers? Meh....

 And what's the other Avengers book?

 And WHAT THE HELL is up with that crappy History of The Avengers prose back up in all the books?! Is anyone even reading this? Those extra pages could have helped Bendis tell his drawn out story in fewer issues.

 

November 20, 2010 9:54 pm @ RahUnique, I actually enjoyed The X-Men Origins movie bro. Hmmmm....will we be forever at odds? Are you and I destined to be like Jimmy and Victor?

I guess everything Ron didn't like about the old X-Force serious (the dark visuals and overtones) was everything I LOVED about it and everything Ron loves about the new book is everything i hated about it...sigh
