February 7, 2012 2:25 pm OK, it's that time of the month for me to repeat to the IFanbase that missing Matt Wagner on Zorro is a mistake. I've really really enjoyed this storyline, I think the premise is very unique, which is one of the challenges of Zorro, a character who can be challenging to write given his Spanish California base. Matt Wagner is a master of the craft. Every issue here he shows it.

February 7, 2012 2:20 pm Very excited for the next chapter in the saga. I really liked how Byrne ended the last arc. Not surprising that Jasmine is on the cover, she's clearly become Byrne's favorite character in the book. His other favorite, Tony, I'm guessing she's never to be seen again? We'll see.

February 7, 2012 11:28 am You're gonna laugh, but when I see him modeling Sue Richards from a porn star, I just hate the guy. Period. I think it's degrading. FWIW, Greg Land is joked about far beyond comic book circles, webpages devoted to his photo-referencing are hooted over by internet surfers the world over.

February 7, 2012 11:00 am Right. Miller's sin right now is that Holy Terror seemed incredibly dated by the time it saw print, and most comic fans knew the book was not what it set out to be. I'm glad he got it out of his system. I'd be shocked if we didn't get some great Miller books in the future. His All-Star Batman & Robin w/ Jim Lee might not have been everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was great...well, good anyway. Moore just seems pathetically bitter and sad. Great list, and I agree with those who say Byrne should be on the list. To me, evidence of his pariah status was that I thought Next Men was a damn fine book and the pull numbers on it were dreadful. But, perhaps similar to Miller, he's put out too many books that were pretty bad and dated story-wise (I find his golden age/sliver age squeaky clean tributes unstomachable, while his Star Trek books have seemed like a labor of love, with the emphasis on labor) and sadly has taught readers to stay away. I hope Byrne finds a way to reconnect with the comics fans and market. Sadly, like Moore, he seems to believe there is a conspiracy.

February 6, 2012 12:20 pm Perfect decision. Irredeemable needs to end. Bravo Mark Waid! My guess is the series ends with the title being proved wrong, and Plutonian in fact being redeemed.

February 4, 2012 9:35 pm I'd say rather it was a six issue confrontation with massacre that never resolved

February 3, 2012 5:24 pm Ha, ha, the decompressionists are lucky they bailed...this issue took the existing decompression and doubled it. Am sad to see the book head to Gotham. But, you know what, I really like this character, the fantastic art, the African setting. Until the artist leaves, I'm in. And the story is enjoyable, other than the ridiculous happenings of the issue #1-2 cliffhanger.

February 3, 2012 5:21 pm If you're looking for a self-contained Lone Ranger story, you couldn't do better than this. I think this was perhaps the best single issue of LR I've ever read, the story worked perfectly. Fantastic ending.

January 31, 2012 9:33 am Just reread it last night, awesome! What did blue blade see when he got electros download? And how will he team with the unstable dynamic man? Great mystery/cliffhanger.
