Avoiding Closure: My unread copy of Planetary #27

On Oct 29, 2009 9:00 AM

@sonia - I can relate quite a bit to this, but most times I blame my procrastination of reading on, having too much stuff in my "stack" to get to title ______ . This was not the case with Planetary #27. Having #27 sit in my pile for roughly a day or two after that particular Wednesday, I found myself with some free time to read a few of my books. I looked at 27, and for a brief mome...

"Rise Up" - The Astonishing X-Men Motion Comic Music Video

On Oct 27, 2009 10:03 PM

First off, I agree with everyone above - this video is pretty bad/corny/lame/whatever.... I love Cassaday and equally loved the entire run he and Whedon created. Some of my favourite Marvel stuff. However, this motion comic is looking pretty flat. Alot of the action stuff looks so bad I think it would take me out of the entire story. The shots of Beast flipping around are simply horendou...

Book Adoration

On Oct 22, 2009 12:00 PM

For me it's all about an amazingly different experience reading a book I already love, in a new, huge style, and fashion. I have zero issue reading my Absolutes and enjoy opening them up OFTEN on my coffee table and reading and re-reading away. Perfect spot for me. I own Absolute Watchmen, Sandman 1-4, LOEG 1,2,&BD, New Frontier, Hush, Dark Knight, & Long Halloween. I plan on getting ...

Review: The Marquis: Inferno

On Oct 20, 2009 4:15 PM

Very interested. I'll check to see if my LCS has it in stock. @PraxJarvin - I second that dude. My reading stack is out of hand. Good problem to have? I'd guess so.

I gotta say, great podcast as usual.....but not even a mention of Planetary #27? I'm not expecting it to get potw or anything, though it was mine - and 16.2% of the communities as well. So, what's with the Planetary shaft? Planing a special podcast on the series, or....... Just curious. Keep up the good work. And thanks for everything.

Good News for Scalped Readers

On Sep 22, 2009 7:55 PM

This is awesome news. My current favourite book. As far as others here talking about other (possibly better selling) titles getting canceled, yet Scalped gets extended - I'd have to chalk it up to Vertigo's history and their ability to trust a title when it starts to get a bit of steam. This series has definitely improved in sales as it's moved forward and the trades are extremely strong sell...

Spider-Woman Motion Comic - Episode #2 Preview

On Sep 2, 2009 12:01 AM

So far I'm not very impressed at all.......sorry to disagree with some of you.... It just seems like someone is narrating the dialogue over high res shots of the artwork. Sure there is a little "camera work", but the only motion seems to be coming from some vehicles and the odd weapon. Overall extermley disapointing. Nothing wrong with the art or story....I think this is just a gia...

Your New-to-Comics Glossary

Name should also contain - has an ego so inflated that during moments (or high points) of a career time seems to not exist at all - thus how can a book "come out on time" when time has no meaning, as time itself is meaningless. Or we could just dub this "Pulling a Miller"......but wait, with War Heroes #3 (out?!? when?) the dubbing could easily be a matter of trading vowe...

iFanboy - Episode #129 - Miracleman

On Jul 7, 2009 6:22 PM

When (or if) these are ever put out in tpb I will definitely be picking them up.  I had to read these comics on my computer that were tracked down via torrent. And this may be the only (really viable) way of reading these issues - as it stands today. So don't feel guilty fellow readers. Sorry but I just don't have $400 to spend on the Olympus paperback......I don't even want to know...

Great show guys. Nice reviews of Cap 50, Wolverine Weapon X, and League.....which is most definitely a great bang for your buck. I live in Canada and my Comic Shop managed to track a few copies down. So I was a few weeks late on it too.
