I know the iFanboys are generally down on Philip Tan, but I liked his work here doing some nice double-page…

I’m not someone who thinks Superman is inherently boring, but his attitude in this issue shows why people complain about…

This book didn’t quite live up to my expectations after the excellent Blackest Night: Batman #1, but it set things…

May 23, 2012 7:39 pm Is Leviathan Strikes considered canon in the New 52 since it was released after the reboot?
May 7, 2012 4:42 pm I was so sad when this wasn't discussed on the Avengers podcast, but I know you guys tape these in advance and probably hadn't seen it yet. *sigh* But yes, I want a DVD extra version of the schwarma scene that's even longer.
April 19, 2012 11:45 pm Man, I loved Matrix Supergirl. I thought it was a really interesting concept and they used her really well during and in the years following the death of Superman. The Lex/Supergirl relationship was a neat dynamic. I've only read a few issues of that Supergirl run, but had a lot of great ideas and I definitely want to read more of it someday. (And that Gary Frank art was so awesome that as a kid it's one of the first comic book things I tried tracing to see if I could learn something.)

March 30, 2012 3:40 am Makes me wish the Booster Gold comic was still around so he could time travel to this moment and have that be the explanation for why he said this, trying to plant it in Ted's head so that he could avoid it.

November 2, 2011 1:26 pm A few things I nerd out about that I think are a bit out of the mainstream: * Journalism (my career), improv and sketch comedy (I'm at UCB constantly and perform/write stuff in my non-comics spare moments) * Pro wrestling (used to write about it and currently cohost a podcast) * A cappella music (got rejected from my college a cappella group, but sing on occasion with a gospel choir still and love the Sing-Off with all my heart)
October 6, 2011 1:00 pm Didn't pick it up yet, but kind of intrigued about the tease at the end of DC books this week about Huntress's connection with Earth-2 in the rebooted DCU.
September 13, 2011 1:36 pm I've been torn; there's a shop I like with good people, decent selection, etc. but it's a little far away. There's a shop blocks from my office that has better selection, but just don't like the vibe as much, and their prices are higher. So, choices, choices...
