I like to think about how long it takes me to read some of the comics I get when I think about how much they cost.  This weeks Punisher I read in maybe 5 minutes.  Literally.  That's pathetic, I don't care if it's $3 or $4.  Wednesday Comics I read over the span of 20-25 minutes, and then I read it again later.  I'm pretty happy with that.  Individual gripes about ...

One thing I've noticed is that when someone is involved, for a living, in judging, viewing, or making something, they tend to view it differently.  I watch a lot of movies, but I usually think movie critics are, for lack of a better term, "wrong".  But they do it for a living, and they've seen many more permutations of moviemaking used and re-used than I have...

@ Josh - Although you make it sound very negative, I agree about people telling their retailers which indie books they'd like to get.  It might actually be "the job of the retailer" to order books, but it doesn't have to be a guessing game.  As much as I personally love and support indie books with my own money, I can't afford to buy a bunch of books for my store that won't...

Jimski, it isn't just the "only 10% of comic fans are online" thing, I've also noticed quite often that certain sites will gather similar tastes together.  I can assure you, Greg Land is insanely popular in some circles, but he certainly doesn't win any polls around here :)  I noticed many of the same flaws in the issue that have been mentioned (and agree with almost...

I would have a lot more hype for either series if they didn't sound so bad.  Absolutely, gut-wrenchingly awful books.  You already know the ending to Secret Invasion!  People are revealed as Skrulls, and several Marvel stories from the past few years are, in effect, unwritten since the main participants were Skrulls.  Who do I trust?  Not the writers. 

None of the LCSs in my area have carried CSN for years, and even though I thought about ordering it for the store I now manage, no one really seems to care that it's not there.  I am really happy to hear about someone using it as a divider in their bag for what they have and haven't read, though; I used to do that same thing when I would stop and buy my comics before work and then read th...
