PraxJarvin

Name: Brian McNamara

Bio: For as long as I can remember I've been a geek. Cartoons, music, movies, books & comics. You name it; I love it. Now I wouldn't say I'm the "classical" nerd/geek. Despite my origins in the four-color, pulp world, I was heavily shaped by the sounds of 70s punk idols like the The Damned, The Clash and SeX pIsToLs as well as early 90s grunge and punk. That's me in a nutshell. I hope you stick around to find out more. I'm 22 years old and a recent graduate of Fordham University with a BA in Anthropology and Communications & Media Studies. In September I'll be attending Teachers College, Columbia University to study Anthropology & Education for an MA. I'm a member of the Media Ecology Association and the American Anthropologist Association.

It’s one thing to wear your influences on your sleeve, another to just flat out do your influences over again…

I really didn’t enjoy this issue. Weaver’s art is very good, but is a little too fluid in one issue…

Twelve months ago, I was so enamored with the first issue of a title that I was motivated to write…

May 4, 2012 5:30 pm Well said, Paul. Well said. And a nice capper to the week of articles. Now surely there must be a frosty brew being set on the long tables of Valhalla for one Son of Coul.
May 4, 2012 5:28 pm Lion in Winter is great. And that movie version is great. (Not only O'Toole and Hepburn but you also have Anthony Hopkins and Timothy Dalton, too!)
May 4, 2012 4:52 pm My Favorite Martian!? HA! Excited for this. I'm really interested in the two Dark Horse books and the Valiant one. Surprised IDW didn't put out one of their 100 Pagers covering their more popular Media Tie-Ins (Trek/Who/TMNT/Transformers/GIJoe?)
April 26, 2012 7:45 pm Yeah, that's exactly it. I love Magneto, but didn't like the ultimate direction of that arc. It makes sense though.
April 26, 2012 7:39 pm A Batman/Two-Face romantic relationship would be all kinds of fun to write about. "Every time he commits a crime I see the face of the man I love and the face of the man I hate."
April 26, 2012 1:39 pm That quote about Batman is brilliant stuff. I don't necessarily agree with his comments about Magneto, but I do get where was going and it makes a certain amount of sense to denobilize Magneto's actions in light of 9/11. However, I for one, could use more Mary Tyler Moore in my Wonder Woman. And man, that Quitely spread it lovely.
April 19, 2012 7:14 pm Especially when a full third of that is a reprint of the latest Uncanny X-Men #1.
