Parker

Name: Parker Holland

Bio: I live in Texas and once worked in the office of a large comic book store in the area. Through this I learned some of the uglier sides of the comic distribution industry and have come out of the experience still loving comics but in a much different way and for many more reasons.I am currently on a "DnA" kick and am trying to collect all of their work that I can in issues since DC seems to have a "No Trades Allowed" policy when it comes to the majority of their work.

    May 10, 2012 8:18 pm Great. Now I have a new book to buy AND I have to rewatch seasons 1-4 of West Wing.
    May 2, 2012 12:45 pm Very well written article Ryan, as usual. I say that with the caveat of wondering what the actual point of it was other than the geeky need to be able to say "See, I told you so." I have enjoyed watching the trailers for things like Avengers and Dark Knight but other than that I try to avoid any "leaked photos" or discussions and predicitions about what might happen in a movie no one has seen yet. I just want to go see a movie that I think might be good and decide, then and there, if it is. Maybe it's just that the headline of the article is so matter of fact, but I would have much rather gone into the movie without this thought in my head. Something just saying you were analyzing the trailer so I could have had the choice to click through and see it instead of a headline that, while it did grab me, was also potentially spoilery.
    September 13, 2011 9:02 pm Loeb really should stick to his TV role now. In comics he seems like the kid who comes over, breaks all of your favorite toys (Ultimates, The Ultimate Universe, Hulk) and then walks away. Thankfully we make new friends who fix our toys (Hickman, Parker) so maybe somebody great will come in after to clean up whatever mess he makes. Then again maybe we get the Loeb who writes the "color" books and this is him finally putting that talent in a book that impacts the greater Marvel universe. I will hope for the latter while keeping my eye peeled for the former.
    August 29, 2011 12:37 pm Great episode as always. My only question is for Josh. If the Ultimates concept is not for you then why were you the one to review it? I do not care for reality shows so I wouldnt write a review of the new season of Survivor. Not meant with any malice, just curious as to the editorial choice.
    August 11, 2011 12:53 pm @nastysnow Some of the hate is just bandwagon jumping but the rest comes from his method. While the actual art looks ok to me it is the fact that he lightboxes (traces) women from stills in porn movies. While you can make an argument for this being ok with some characters he does it with everyone (not always from pornos
    June 2, 2011 12:31 pm Wallace and Krul have been very hit or miss for me on their past work. Those will be titles I wait for reviews on and maybe pick up the trade. Speaking of trades, any ideas on if DC will speed up their releases with this new model?
    May 13, 2011 6:29 pm I would have more faith this will actually happen if it wasn't for the fact we I think haven't had a company wide crossover since Civil War happen without a main book being delayed.

    What about the retailers? Even if all other books are just moved to before and after this date it still screws their cash flow.

    And if you pack the rest of the weeks with books that should have been spread out won't people on a budget end up spending less?

    @drake if that was meant in as much bad taste as it came off at least ifanboy only changes their site every once in awhile and doesn't have constant and intrusive advertisements unless you pay for the premium service. I like IGN man but glass houses etc. etc. etc.
    I will also say even with the site advertisements and ads in DC books I have not noticed any change in the editorial content. I think it was just last week one of the guys talked about how DC was letting them down. Good job having inegrity guys! Much appreciated!
    May 12, 2011 6:42 am I'm sorry that may have come off wrong. I by no means meant that Johns was the one forebading new elseworlds stories. What I meant by that was that there have not been any elseworlds stories in quite awhile (excluding things like All Star Superman and such that happened so rarely) and it seemed like Johns was throwing in everyones ideas for different elseworlds stories into this one book. I know that is not what happened but that is how it came off to me.

    Thank you for the criticism and I by no means meant for this to come off as trolling. I was just very let down by this issue as the beginning of a company wide event (as I am by Fear Itself).
    January 28, 2011 4:37 pm I was wondering why DC was finally releasing Abnett & Lannings Legion run, guess I know now. I am curious which came first, the end of Marvel cosmic proper by DnA or this new wave of mainstream DC work.
    January 7, 2011 3:08 pm @Conor as far as immortal characters popping up in legion, check out Abnett and Lannings run (difficult since it has not been collected, but the issues are fairly easy at cons). Ra's Al Ghul plays a huge part. Very fun.
