April 16, 2012 12:57 pm Man, that's some pretty art. Not so sure about the story though...

April 15, 2012 6:19 pm Pretty funny to hear a South African accent on the show (though the Cape Townian accent is way less pronounced than South African accents from other areas). I would call in too but I'm too cheap to call long distance.

April 10, 2012 3:45 pm Wow, I think you're sadly right on the money here.

March 31, 2012 1:11 pm Man, I just don't understand why people keep on defending the guy. There's just absolutely nothing that's not terrible about Liefeld's art and this only further proves it. Just atrocious stuff.

March 31, 2012 12:51 pm Wow, I never thought that these ever needed to be in colour but man, does this look great. Count me in. And I'm actually grateful for the slow release schedule - as I have already read them, they won't be a priority in my budget so it's nice that I could spread that $150 over three years.

March 18, 2012 7:27 pm Great discussion about Saga guys but one thing that doesn't seem to mentioned about the issue that is, to my mind, one of its best points was how funny it was. Not just the banter but the visual gags (grease money!), the satire and the general sense of off-beatness to the world he's building. Epic science fiction often suffers from a sense of its own importance and a lack of sense of humour and one of the best things about Saga already is how quickly and easily it avoids that.

March 9, 2012 10:11 am OK, it's up now. Thanks guys!

March 8, 2012 5:20 pm Um, is it just me or is there no direct download link?

March 5, 2012 7:26 pm Great Waid interview as always (not that the other two were bad, of course!) but it's sad to hear just how much relations have broken down between him and DC. Not just because I would love to see him write something for them, along with the terrific stuff he's doing at Marvel but because, even if DC were under no contractual obligation to do so, it was really kind of a dick move to completely exclude him from having anything to do with an animated adaptation of his story - going so far as to not even credit him on the DVD. Beyond that I also loved the discussion about the optimistic nature of superheroes and his dismissal of "fanboy torture porn" (why do you think I'm so keen to do some work for DC?) and, as much as I'm loving a lot of what DC are currently putting out, he's sadly probably correct about the way so much of their output is editorially driven. Though, I'm not entirely sure that Marvel are THAT much better at this right now. He's obviously in a good position to know about such things but I can't help but think that he is at least somewhat biased - and for very good reason - towards Marvel management right now. And, yeah, DC's total refusal to collect much of his excellent work still rankles me.
