January 19, 2013 9:48 am Congratulations to both of you! Ron, you'll be missed (maybe come on as a guest from time to time?) but Paul is definitely the right man to take your spot, I think it'll be a good fit. BTW, Paul: what's your position on Cyclops? Great X-Man, or THE GREATEST X-Man?

January 10, 2013 2:23 pm I second Jim Aparo for the Untold Legend of the Batman. I had that & the accompanying audio tape as a kid and listened to/read it so many times that is the classic image of Batman seared in my brain. I remember also reading a lot of back issues around that time that had that same look, whether it was Aparo on art or other artists using his model. I still think of Batman in those particular light blue and gray tones as opposed to the much darker tones used for the last 20-30 years.

December 3, 2012 2:10 pm I found myself not quite believing that Michonne (TV Michonne, not comics Michonne) would split off from the group and lurk in waiting for the Governor to get revenge on him. His assault on her was relatively impersonal (sending his men after her, not doing anything to her directly himself). When she broke into his apartment I first thought she was looking for Andrea to get her out of there as well. The rest of the scene could have played out exactly the same, just altering her motivation for being there in the first place to something I would have found a little more believable. To give them the benefit of the doubt, though, we don't really know that much about her character at this point, so maybe she just holds a mean grudge. And yeah, that fight scene was brutal. I legitimately was not sure if Michonne was going to walk away from it or not. That is probably my favorite thing about the show deviating from the comics, it gives me the same sense of not being sure who is going to live or die at any given time. Bring on the second half!

June 7, 2012 3:03 pm @mark. I don't know "Meet the new boos, same as the old boos" might be a better choice of words for some threads.

June 7, 2012 3:02 pm @wallythegreenmonster: That's an interesting theory, especially in light of how they used to do that in the comics for the revolving readership of kids as they grew up (i.e. re-telling the origin every few years). I imagine a significant majority of young superhero fans today were introduced to the characters in the cartoons first. Now the question is how many transition from the cartoons to the comics?

February 21, 2011 2:46 pm This Conan series has been fantastic so far, and Tomas Giarello has become one of my favorite artists. This team on one of Howard's best Conan stories? Sign me up!

February 20, 2011 8:23 am I am now dying to read a story based on that pic of beta ray bill!

Notice the map in the first strip, two of the countries are "Darkest Africa" and "Crocodile Country"

December 3, 2010 10:44 am Is The Doctor holding the Cosmic Cube?! I want to read that comic!
