March 29, 2013 11:22 pm Tyrion is ok, but I thought everyone's favorite was Arya.
March 26, 2013 7:14 am IMO this arc has been really good. Maybe my favorite so far. I've been happy with JLD ever since Lemire came on-board.
March 24, 2013 8:37 am What was supposed to have been the controversial dialogue? I think I missed it.

March 18, 2013 9:57 pm First off, sorry about the retarded comment. This is a public forum and I don't know who is reading this. I don't want to upset anyone with a retarded loved one. My Bad. "artful storytelling occurs when a writer designs that plot to manipulate the emotions and expectations of *the reader* without calling attention to the manipulations." @KenO- That's a good line and I consider BMB to be the opposite of artful. I guess calling someone manipulative is easily misconstrued. I thought manipulative conveyed a negative tone. Bendis wanted to leave us all with a "Oh Shit" cliffhanger after issue 1 and he did, but then it got wiped away in this issue in a way that I thought was very lame. That felt manipulative to me, in a bad way. When Bendis wants to show us what a fun couple Bobby and Kitty are becoming he inserts a very inorganic "skit" or whatever the hell that was in All-New X-Men the other week. I thought that was a very unsubtle way to endear us to the budding couple. for me it didn't work. It's all a matter of opinion I know. Maybe it's all my latent insecurities bubbling to the surface, but I sometimes feel like Bendis writes his books like we were all idiots. @TiQuinn- I do like these books. Honestly. I love the art and even though the characterizations and dialogue are pretty grating to me, I like the overall arc of the stories being told. I read these comment sections though, and it's like I'm in 9th grade again and Cool Kid #1 is saying how awesome The Beatles (All-New) are, and Cool Kid #2 says he likes The Stones (Uncanny) better. And then I interject myself into the conversation and say that both of those bands are ok, but y'know who really is doing some next-level shit? The Kinks (Legacy)!! And everyone looks at me like I'm a complete moron. *Tragic Hero* Does that make sense?
March 17, 2013 7:48 pm Am I the only one who thinks Bendis is really over-rated right now? The art has been awesome on uncanny and all-new and the overall plot has been engaging. That said, each issue leaves me so annoyed with at least one aspect of the book it's almost not worth it. Magneto saying his betrayal of cyclops was a ruse and he couldn't let anyone know about it in case of a psychic. that is retarded. What about a psychic reading magnetos mind in issue 1. I'm fairly new to these books, can no one read magnetos mind? If that's the case I'm still not satisfied. He wasn't even wearing that stupid helmet that he stole from Kevin bacon. I have another question, is Cyclops always this big of a douche bag? This is the first time I've read a book with him as a main character and I FUCKING WANT HIM TO DIE. That last page with the "come to me my x-men" bullshit almost made me throw up in my mouth. I read this and the whole time I'm thinking "who would be on this dickhead's team?" And then I realize everyone else in the book are pretty much dickheads too. In summation, I'm glad everyone is liking this so much, but as far as I'm bendis is a heavy-handed, manipulative hack. The art is still pretty awesome.
March 14, 2013 7:09 pm I have no idea what this article is talking about. I thought I knew what fandom meant but now I'm not sure. And if that video is fake anime what is real anime.
March 13, 2013 10:16 pm Alex Ross does seem like a complete cocksucker. I once said so on a Around Comics forum after he was interviewed and had this one guy go off on me like I had just stabbed his mother.
