December 8, 2008 4:37 pm I definitely see your point. Like I mentioned before, I don't go there anymore because I use DCBS, but All Things Fun definitely caters to the gaming crowd. When I've ventured in the area to find hard to find titles or trades, there are probably better shops to check out first.
December 8, 2008 2:20 pm @Animal I think the store on 38 you are referring to is "Ron's Comics". It's a pretty decent store. I've never really had an issue with All Things Fun. I actually got along well with the owners, but didn't rely on them for suggestions. With that being said, I go the DCBS route now to save money.
August 18, 2008 11:39 am I succumbed to the peer pressure as well. But I realized the error of my ways and dropped it as of this week. Never was all that interested in Marvel, don't know why I've been buying it. I'm out.
I agree with your assessment of Alex Ross. It obviosly is awe inspiring to some people, but I prefer my comics to look less 'real life'. Josh is right, they often times look creepy. His interpretations aren't what I picture when I think of a superhero. It throws you off.
And I wholeheartedly agree with the first couple of posts. Howard Chaykin doesn't do anything for me. He is probably my least favorite artist in the biz today. I am suprised every time the guys mention how much they like his work. I actively avoid any book he is on.
