Name: Justin Barnard

Bio: I'm your typical mid 20s comic book fan. As a kid I dabbled lightly in comics with x-men mostly but my real awakening to comics happend when my mother who was in the navy returned from an overseas trip with 3 huge bags filled with comics ranging from original UK Judge Dread to Avengers to Green Lantern to XO Man of War to God knows what I am forgetting. I kept pretty steady on comics moving through events like Zero Hour in DC to Onslaught in Marvel, Post onslaught during the "heroes reborn stories" I lost interest in the repetiveness I saw so I dropped out for a while, read some random trades here and there then around 2000 I was introduced to Top Cow and these comics brought back a passion like I never knew before (as well as a budget to sustain it) This coupled with the looming trade paperback revolution has kept me a happy comic fan steadily for coming close to a decade now.

May 22, 2012 12:19 am wonder how they will make Mar-vell dead again this time.
May 12, 2012 1:00 am I'm kind of disappointed that as it is a CN show It won't have a dead cat... oh well looking forward to the episode
May 2, 2012 10:51 am I am so rooting for this movie to be the big one for the summer, as much as I like christopher nolan's batman I really want a solid win for a superhero movie that doesn't need to be dark and gritty.
April 30, 2012 3:59 pm I hope they let them keep the costumes :D
April 20, 2012 1:37 am oh custom sketch how you haunt me, a couple years ago I attended a convention that ryan ottley was at, and I was so awestruck by him that I couldn't bring myself to ask for a sketch... I don't know what it was, I did my research, knew how much he charged, I knew what I wanted, but I couldn't speak to him, I talked with lots of other creators at the con but I could not utter a syllable to him, I even talked to Jason Howard who shared a booth with him. Finally I had to have my girlfriend go up and ask him for a sketch, but sadly some guy got there first and got his last slot, and then tried to haggle with him on it of all things! So I never did get my sketch of Omniman and Allen the alien playing air guitar.... *sigh*....

March 17, 2012 9:23 pm Love the concept, costume is okay, wouldn't mind seeing her in a costume a little closer to either the original captain marvel or Genis-vel, but definitely should keep the sash, and like everyone else I'm not sold on the hair cut...
March 17, 2012 6:23 pm I must be in a weird minority here, totally enjoyed the trailer seemed like it took the lighter elements of ultimate spider-man and mixed with plenty of action figure tie in merchandising. As far as the voice it doesn't really bother me all that much. Looking forward to watching this with my nephew!
March 7, 2012 11:32 am remake/reboot would be nice but really it only made to what issue #9 could just re-release the first 9 issues and then have this new team pick up where joe mad left off. I really wish someone would revisit this story/world, it started off with so much potential!
