I think trades have made it much easier to at least get people to try a comic.  In the past I tried to hand 6 or 8 issues to someone and they would lose interest quickly but handing them a trade and they will ususally at least give it a try.  I have had very limited success with friends and family. I haven't converted anyone into a regular reader but many will borrow something from me...

I have no idea whether this will be any good but the trailer makes me smile and I will watch RDJ in just about anything and the rest of the cast is excellent as well. 

I've managed to stop the weekly book habit and only do trades but now my stack of trades is at least 20 books deep. Add that to the bookshelf of prose I haven't read the 300 movies that are in the netflix queue and it is no wonder that my entertainment feels like an upaid second job somtimes.  I just want to make it clear that I blame all of you good people and all your "helpful...

I'm all in on this one.  Looks like fun.

I really enjoyed that.  I especially liked the Rudolph reference.  Great stuff.  Keep it up.

Really great article Sonia.  I have to say that managing expectations for things that we really want is difficult.  At times we get ourselves so worked up about something be it a movie, book, television show that even if it is really good it somehow disappoints us because of how hyped up we have gotten about it.  I know this sounds sad and contrary to a fan mentality but it is&n...

Mike I enjoyed reading your article as well as many of the comments. I have only read the first Starman Omnibus and I recall it taking awhile to read but I wouldn't call my experience with it a slog.  I thought the stories were good and entertaining.  It felt like James Robinson was trying on a new pair of shoes and he was walking around to break them in and get a feel for the charac...

I've never bought any of the Absolute Editions.  For most of them I already have a collected hardcover or trade and I really don't like buying repeat editions.  I find that most of the Omnibi that I do have are pretty manageable.  The Starman editions are very manageable and i would agree that the Jeff Lemire Essex County and Local Deluxe HC are an excellent size and managea...
