December 28, 2011 7:12 pm Keeping to the comics/geeky gifts, I received the LOTR extended edition Blu ray set, which I really wanted; a $25 iTunes gift card, which I spent on Batman Knightfall, Stumptown, Dark Knight Returns, and No Man's Land; a starwars t-shirt; and Quarriors, a dice based board game.

November 3, 2011 10:50 pm Everyone of these same day digital threads always has a) the guy that worries about @comixology going out of business (CEO of Comixology stressed that it's not an issue; they are doing well, and if they were ever remotely in trouble someone would swoop in, and buy them out, b) the guy who says wake me when the comics are 99 cents with no basis other than to say he wants things to be cheaper. Personally, this is great news. I've picked up all my DC, and Image books through the comixology app except for American Vampire, which isn't yet available same day digital. I've been inclined to drop any Marvel book not released digitally like the Avengers (entire line), Daredevil, and Punisher, but haven't taken that drastic step yet. I'm glad this is coming sooner rather than later. The only thing I have to deal with now is my guilt in no longer going to Midtown Comics; a lot of cool people over there, and you can always drum up a chat if you're looking for one.

November 2, 2011 2:40 pm Mike, Am I really going to have to go out and double dip on the Martini Edition? Everything about the deluxe edition seems awesome. I also have the Thor Omnibus/tomb waiting to be read along with the recent Claremont Omnibus, and the Kirby, and Stan Lee Captain America Omnibi just to name a few. Here's hoping I get to catch up during the holidays.

October 11, 2011 2:32 pm Love the cover for Black Panther. If's available digitially on comixology, I'll pick it up, which is like since they've been releasing all Spider-Island related issues day, and date.

September 28, 2011 11:59 pm Not surprised people are complaining about the book because it was too "wordy." I guess I shouldn't be surprised that cmic book fans, for the most past, don't want to do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to their books. I for one thought the book wad great. The narration, and the article serving as a backdrop to the entire story was a nice touch. Really felt like I got a great story for my $2.99.

September 28, 2011 11:09 am I'm intrigued. It's same day digitial on Comixology so I'll try the first issue.

September 28, 2011 11:08 am Love Bachalo. The first 2 covers look awesome. The X-men verse is in a great place right now.

September 26, 2011 12:44 pm How does having sex with one person, Batman, make her a sexpot? It's freaking Batman. I know this may come as a shock to you but adults do have pre-marital sex. I know. It's scary. The inference that Winnick wants you to make is that they are going to have sex. They didnt' actually have sex in the issue. I had no issue with Catwoman's portrayal. The ending was actually spot on. Catwoman was vunerable; her place was just destroyed; and just in the nick of time, the object of her affection shows up to comfort her. Is that wrong? No. Does that make her a "sexpot"? No. It's amazing to me just how many people are uptight about sex or anything sexy being depicted in ther comics. It's utterly shocking. @TNC correct me If I'm wrong you always hated SIrens, claimed it was cheesecake, but now your making your argument based upon Catwoman's depiction in Sirens. Again, a book you hated, and probably never read, but will now claim you did. If you've listened to the podcast for any period of time, you will know the guys belief system, and the fact that they aren't up in arms about Catwoman should come as no suprise. I know you want them to be as upset as you, but all the arguing isn't going to change it.

September 23, 2011 3:48 pm I knew absolutely nothing about Demon Knights, and had the same reaction you did. I didn't who was who, or why they were in a middle ages-y setting, and why they were fighting but I enjoyed it. Not POTW worthy to me, but nonetheless a solid book. Will give it a few more issues to really grab me.

September 20, 2011 2:36 pm Always look forward to the Grab Bag! Why the recommendation on the Yamaha? I'm in the market for a soundbar, and just haven't found anything too appealing. Agree on Gears. I got the shipment notification from Amazon, but now the hard part, finding chunks of time to play it. Picked up the Star Wars Blue Ray, and watched the New Hope, and Empire over the weekend. The movies look A LOT better. Amazingly, the movies for the most part, look like they can hold up to today's CG standars. As far as the new fall season, there's nothing I'm overly interested. I'll wait to see what "word of mouth" has to say on the new crop of shows. I will say that Terra Nova at least looks interesting, and Up all Night might be ok. Also, interested in checking out Ringer with Buffy, but lately I've just been content with catching up on Mad Men.
