March 7, 2012 3:59 pm True, but it'd have to be Amazon UK for me, and in my experience it doesn't quite hold up to the prices you can get on the US version.

March 6, 2012 2:19 pm Color me excited for this. Ra's al Ghul is probably my favorite Batman villain, stemming mostly from the Animated Series, but I've been too lazy to track these stories down before now. Now I only have to hope that my shop get this...

February 28, 2012 9:18 am I've answered my own question. It collects the first 3 volumes. This is going to be awfully tempting if my LCS gets it.

February 27, 2012 5:27 pm Anybody know which books this collects?

February 24, 2012 6:54 pm itsbecca, maybe they don't with you, and I commend you for that. But attractive guys get infinitely more leeway than "unattractive" guys with the VAST majority of women. It's just baloney to argue otherwise. Why, because this is a rant should we justify her belittling this guy because of his hairline more than his being surprised because she knows a lot about comics? All he said was one below the belt slip and he's being nuked on the internet, while she's being praised for being brave and standing up for herself. How is that fair? Think all you like that women are the victims in modern Western society, but I bet that "ugly" people are far more discriminated against than women are, and this is a perfect example of it.

February 24, 2012 7:59 am I see what you're saying, Molly. And I'm not really trying to argue that what the guy said isn't a mildly sexist statement. I'm saying that using the nuclear option of posting about your interaction on a website read by thousands of people is petty. And your comment about his receding hairline is at least as offensive and hurtful as his saying "actually" rather than "really". What, because he's losing his hair he can't talk to girls anymore? If he had a head of hair like Sterling Archer, would he be allowed to recover from mistakes like this without being lampooned on the internet? What fault of his is so endemic of his community as to warrant a diatribe like this, that isn't warranted by the community of awkward guys who are belittled as less than worthy by pretty girls?

February 24, 2012 4:50 am Personally, I find her immediate dismissal of this guy as a man far more offensive than his relatively mild display of sexism by being impressed that she had knowledge of something that is inarguably uncommon for a woman to have deep knowledge about. She saw his receding hairline, and heard a slight (probably non-intentional) prejudicial remark, and that was it for this guy. Sexual prejudice is a lot more common than people like to admit, and women are just as guilty of it as men, even if they apparently don't like to hear it. Furthermore she is not a victim in this case. For God's sake, people who get raped are victims. People who get shot or stabbed are victims. People who are denied the right to vote because of the color of their skin are victims. A woman who surprises a guy because she has intimate knowledge of comic books is not a victim.

January 16, 2012 12:54 pm Maybe it's just selective hearing, and I've missed them talking about it, but "Sixth Gun" from Oni is pretty awesome. If you have any love for westerns and/or things supernatural it's definitely worth a shot.

November 8, 2011 10:02 am I looked for a quick comparison, and Gizmodo seemed to indicate that on first blush the Fire performed faster despite is technological limitations as compared to the B&N device.

November 3, 2011 5:22 pm In many ways Brubaker seems like the modern Peter David with Editorial continuously sticking its nose into his long running storylines, and making life difficult for him.
