Name: Vince

Bio: I am unwavering Deadpool fan, even when it is bad.  I like the Jim Starlin/Jim Aparo days of Batman the best.  The only truly good Punisher comics are the first few issues of the Punisher and the Punisher War Journal (from the '80s).  GI Joe and Transformers from Marvel are horribly underrated.  The best What Ifs are the ones with the real twisted endings.  Ron Lim draws the best Silver Surfer.  Iron Man was better when he had a mullet.  Baron Zemo is underused.  Norman Osborn is not Lex Luthor.  I want the Scorpion back.  Rulk is a rehash of the '90s evil extreme versions of characters (hello Protocide).  Frank Miller really wants to write Superman, and we should never let him - he must also think very little of Batman.

    This was classic wolverine action that reminded me of the short stories of the early issues in Marvel Comics Presents…

    This arc started pretty good, lost some steam in the middle, and then came to an end which left me…

    This comic was a definite “let me pick it up and see” book, and did it surprise.  Consensus is that…

    Deadpool: Where Do I Start?
    October 7, 2011 10:48 am How about a Deadpool/Aquaman team-up where they talk to fish...together! That sounds like it should be in your wheelhouse and get you on bandwagon.

    Sympathy for the Deadpool
    September 6, 2011 2:48 pm I like Deadpool comics. I like comic books. I think Fabian Nicieza's take on the character is definitive, and Joe Kelly's Deadpool #11 was hilarious (even nominated for a Harvey Award). I like that the Deadpool comics use to show that Deadpool was friends with Bullseye, and that he could beat up Batroc the Leaper and hogtie him with a "ducky lamp." It's funny. I like funny things. Do I think Deadpool shows up in more stuff than he ever could (like Wolverine), well yes, but so does every other mainstream comic book character. I suspend temporal disbelief because I don't want such realism that I get the issue of Batman getting a colonoscopy (sp.). Personally, I don't understand why people can possess enough conviction to even dislike a comic book character. In conclusion, to each their own.

    WonderCon Moving From San Francisco To Anaheim For 2012; C2E2 & Wizard World: Anaheim To Change Dates in Response
    September 2, 2011 11:45 am awesome - as if there are no other event centers in SF that can handle this? Well, I think that this marks the end of Wondercon in SF, they will definitely get a much larger turnout in Anaheim, and probably better guests due to proximity to Hollywood. And I was already pissed that NO stores in northern california did the JLA midnite release.

    The Real Cover to September’s ACTION COMICS #1
    July 19, 2011 12:01 pm Is this really supposed to attract new readers, or just cause a ruckus to get people talking about Superman in order for the "talking" to attract new readers?  We have seen these kinds of stunts before and we will see them again.  3 years from now:  Crisis on Infinite Earths 2 - revert.
