Christopher Nolan Talks Superman and Batman Films

On Mar 10, 2010 1:00 PM

They must realize that a Superman/Batman film is a license to print money, right? It doesn't have to be a shared Universe in the sense that they would go back and forth between each others films and have to constantly acknowledge the existence of other heroes. You can do solo films and hero group films. Nothing wrong with introducing a character in a solo film (where only that hero exists) and...

I'd also take Rucka getting another round. He writes some very good WW.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 03/05/2010

On Mar 5, 2010 1:07 PM

Ebay can be particularly bad for buying ridiculous quantities of comics. If you start and say hey what about this run and that run, and oh what about this character -- I have always loved him, and might as well just buy the rest of these to fill out the collection.... If you are just flitting about and looking for large lots you will find a ton of stuff for a very low per book price so each pur...

Your Next New Avenger is... The Thing

On Mar 5, 2010 12:52 PM

Does it really matter whether they are blasters, fliers,  or brawlers when they are all sitting around a table eating breakfast? Because, based on past issues of New Avengers, that will probably be something like 95% of every issue.

Great Moments in Comics History: Detective Comics #397

On Mar 5, 2010 9:00 AM

I wonder what proceeds the "...and then take care of my wound!" "I love prankcalls. I'll call the local constables, taunt them, hide in the shadows, abduct a straggling officer, then stab him in the stomach just watch him scream, but before he dies I will get out my handy-dandy bat-medical kit... ...and then take care of my wound!" Ha ha! Good times.

Great Moments in Comics History: Justice League of America #128

On Feb 19, 2010 9:00 AM

Superman is actually referring to the University of Houston Hawkman, not stuttering. There was a brief fad of all the superheroes going back to school to get the education they missed out on because of their crime fighting. Things got very confusing when Hawboy went to Pepperdine and starting putting on airs and insisting on being called Hawkman. Long story short, UH Hawkman is leaving and Pepp...

Tuesday Showdown: Beast vs. Tawky Tawny

On Feb 16, 2010 9:45 AM

@flapjaxx The Avengers mansion had an excellent continuing education program, which McCoy took advantage of to earn his doctorate. His advisor was Hank Pym, but that was mostly for name prestige. He mostly worked with Dr. Connors over at NYU. Good lord his defense was tough, though. Do not put Richards and Von Doom on the same thesis defense committee. He was addressing their contradictory com...

Brightest Day Brings Changes For The Green Lantern Books

On Feb 12, 2010 1:19 PM

Where is Gleason going? He has been doing the Corps for approximately forever. New pastures or will he be shifted to the prime Lantern book? He does great with diverse piles of aliens, which is why he was so perfect for the Corps. I jumped on REBELS after the Blackest Night crossover, so I like Bedard's work there. Nothing else I have run into by him has really hit me though...

Tuesday Showdown: Daredevil vs. Doctor Mid-Nite

On Feb 2, 2010 9:00 AM

Midnight bombs? Not so useful here. This does not go well for Dr. Mid-nite. I did enjoy the gentrification comment. I was just looking at a map of Manhattan going, say, Hell's Kitchen is actually a nice place to live. Who knew?

My Albatross: How Dead is the Secondary Comics Market?

On Feb 1, 2010 11:30 AM

I think someone mentioned it, but it bears repeating that shipping is what kills the value for individual shipping on Ebay. I don't know how many times I've seen a $0.99 book with $6.50 in shipping. Don't ship priority ($5 and up). First class postage for one comic book usually runs $2-2.50. If the weight goes up, ship it media mail. It is a book, at least as far as the post office needs to kn...
