DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 1, 2012 3:58 pm Oh yeah, that's right... someone did make Star Wars prequels. I was thinking more of Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd. Total cash grab.

DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
February 1, 2012 7:50 am I would buy Darwyn Cooke drawing WalMart planograms. I'm interested, it could be good. When has a prequel ever let me down?...

Comic Fans and the Conundrum of General Interest
November 3, 2011 8:44 am I might have to check that one out, was a little scared of it. My local shop has it for $80. I bought Tide Of Iron for about that much a couple years ago and played it once...
I've been playing my old SPI quad games a lot lately. 30 Years War, Napoleon At War, Blue & Grey, and West Wall quads. Quick and easy gaming.

Comic Fans and the Conundrum of General Interest
November 3, 2011 8:20 am @itsbecca I would have given the blank stare at The Decemberists until I heard The King Is Dead. Like DCFC before Narrow Stairs, I kind of knew of their stuff before, but then each of them made an album that was right up my alley.

November 2, 2011 6:33 pm Hex-based table top war games, hard to find opponents. Classic Fender guitars and amps, hard to find cash....

Comic Fans and the Conundrum of General Interest
November 2, 2011 6:29 pm I get the same thing... I play in a band, and known as a 'music guy', but when asked about what I listen to I get blank stares from the general public. Paul Westerberg, Bob Mould, Wilco, DBT, Ryan Adams, Jayhawks... It's popular to me!

10.23.2011 – Episode #307 – Uncanny X-Men #544
October 24, 2011 4:36 am I'm not usually much of a moon-landing-denier, but I feel a hint of DC-ness in some of these Marvel books. The Serpent in Fear Itself felt a little Darkseid/Anti-Life Final Crisis-like, the whole hammers/rings thing, the Fearless weekly follow-up sounds a little Brightest Day-ish, Uncanny #1 maybe a little New 52-y. Happenstance and circumstance I'm sure.
Also, I think the Juggernaut on the Fearless cover is ok... From what I can gather from Fear Itself 7 and the recent preview of Fearless right here on iF is that it takes place afterwards and all the Hammery folks turned back to normal looking.
A final chapter of an event doesn't get a sniff in POTW voting? Telling and sad.

Stories DC Needs to Animate
October 19, 2011 9:58 am I would love to see a Red Son movie, I think they could do something really special animating the look of that book, But I think the problem with WB wouldn't be the politics, but rather the corporate "we don't want to confuse viewers with a different Batman/Superman".
So it's probably a pipe dream, like my wanting a Rise Of Arsenal short in front of it. (Charlie Sheen as the voice of Roy Harper, and the cat)

The Comics Market: A Beer Analogy
September 15, 2011 1:19 am Forget about jetpacks, now I want my beer distributed digitally. Oh the joy of being able to instantly access a six of Spotted Cow or Leinie's 1888 Bock...
As far as the comparison, it works for me. I worked for a couple of the mid-major breweries (Stroh's and Schmidt) years ago, they were kind of like the Gold Key and Charlton of the industry. Both had a lot of licensed properties (Stroh's brewed everything from Old Milw to Schlitz) and were aimed at cheap, mass consumption.
While my fridge may be stocked with Summit and Point Dark, when I'm drinking for volume I enjoy a few gallons of Miller Lite. I just plain like beer, similar to how I just like comics. The good, the bad, and the wheat (which is bad).
