Name: Clayton Scholefield

Bio: "First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire." - Roland Deschain, of Gilead.Big fan of comics in general. Batman and Daredevil are favorites, but also enjoy immensely what indy books have to offer. ASP, Oni, Top Shelf, and Dark Horse (can this really be called an "indy" any more?) are some of my favorite publishers.My big comicbook crisis is trying to determine what to read monthly and what to trade wait for. I never seem to have a handle on this sort of management. Sometimes I end up double-dipping!The gang at iFanboy here have done well to make me check out books that may not of hit my radar the first time around. Fear Agent and Fell are examples of this. I am greatful for the work they do here. I may not post much, but I am a daily visitor.

DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 2, 2012 12:31 pm I have read Watchmen close to a 1/2 dozen times in the past decade. Every time I read it, I end up wanting more. Specifically, the old Minutemen and that early era of crime fighting. Even when watching the film, the fantastic intro credits they did showing that history. I think I loved those few minutes of the film the best. This news of Cooke bringing his touch to the Watchmen universe has me so excited. DC New Frontier meets Watchmen? Hell yes!!!

Dave Dorman Offended by Vaughan & Staples’ Breastfeeding SAGA Cover
January 9, 2012 3:05 pm I think the logical response to all of this is: If I were a female comic book character breatfeeding my child right now, I would want to be a part of a breastfeeding rally inside of a Star Wars comic.

January 9, 2012 2:29 pm Actually the story is "comic book artist offended by comic book breastfeeding." When you think about it, the story is so bad its awesome.

iFanboy’s 2011 Book of the Year: PETROGRAD
December 20, 2011 2:17 pm What a beautiful book. That shiny gold foil on the cover and on the sides is so hypnotic. I just want to carry it everywhere I go and be referred to as "the guy with the golden book." If you miss Q&C, then this book is for you.

(UPDATE) DC’s Next Absolute Editions: SINESTRO CORPS WAR and BATMAN & ROBIN
December 15, 2011 4:20 pm I would think so, but then I thought Infinite Crisis was going to get an Absolute treatment like Identity Crisis and Final Crisis. Who knows, it could end up in this new omnibus format of over 1100 pages that DC are trying out. I would love a Solo and a Cooke Spirit done in Absolute. Also, I would throw money at DC for a complete Absolute Rucka Batwoman with the uncollected 3 issue Jock run being included.

(UPDATE) DC’s Next Absolute Editions: SINESTRO CORPS WAR and BATMAN & ROBIN
December 15, 2011 12:57 pm Dark Victory, yes. Final Crisis, yes. Batman & Robin, yes. Sinestro Corps War, maybe not. Since we are on the topic of collections, how about that huge Infinite Crisis Omnibus? I hope it would mean that one day we can get a 52 Omnibus. Absolute Batman RIP? Everything Morrison did on Batman up to and including RIP. Shouldn't this be out first? I guess they want to sell Batman vrs. the Black Glove Deluxe HC for a year first. I need to set up a direct deposit account with DC.
