I’ve been following this book since issue one and since Darwyn Cooke left it has kind of been coasting along,…

May 16, 2011 2:33 pm I am ludicrously excited about this.  The Rocketeer may be my all time favorite comic book and its great to see such an array of talent doing new stories.
March 9, 2011 4:24 pm I will really miss The Spirit book, it was one of my favorite reads every month, not life changing by any means but a fun book with excellent art.  I agree that Doc Savage had to go though it was a mess from the start and the First Wave mini was severely underwhelming sadly.  I know its unlikely to happen now but could they not just keep The Spirit as something separate from the First Wave line and keep it going?

I met him at a thing a few months ago and he seemed like a really nice guy, very approachable (even with the beard) doesn't come over particularly well in interviews maybe but if I had been asked the same questions for 20 years I may be a bit tired of it too.

He was more than willing to sign my copy of V for Vendetta and seemed excited about the new league of Extraordinary gentlemen book.  I don't agree with everything he says here by any means but he's entitiled to his opinion of course. 

 

May 9, 2010 2:27 pm Shame the next issue is going to be the last. I quite enjoy this book and am a big fan of the retro design of some of it. Will have to look for my sci-fi fix elsewhere now I guess :(

I'm loving this book.  Just read the first two issues back to back and I'm amazed at how well the story has been able to show what it's like for a diabetic having a hypo.  I'm a diabetic myself and I can totally see what Morrison and Murphy are going for here.

Obviously there is a lot of dramatic licence here and I'm in now way saying every hypo is like the one shown in this book but it is true that things become very very strange when you are suffering a hypo.  I remember I had one at work and ended up pouring a can of diet coke over a co-worker and running into a vending machine in the cafe.  No joke.  No idea why i did it but hypo's do strange things to your mind.

I've never seen a hypoglycemic state shown in a comic before so this is fascinating to me. Can't wait for the next issue!

September 23, 2009 2:30 pm I just watched the full 1st season of Dollhouse on DVD over a few days and I must say I think this is the way to watch it.  I can see that watching it on a weekly basis could be very irritating but watching the whole season over a few days I didn't notice the schizophrenic nature of the show so much.
September 9, 2009 4:02 pm That was really enjoyable, hope you get to do more in that universe Josh.
June 28, 2009 5:36 pm Thanks jstump, I meant to mention in my review that its a shame Oeming didn't do the cover as his artwork is a real stand out, The cover on this issue is good but its no better then the rest of the recent issues.
