Y'know, I kinda like this. It takes all of the events and puts them into a linear arc, as Ron mentions. It emphasizes a continuity where things really do change. And a burning Asgard is kinda cool. I mean, I know maybe JMS wanted to set up Asgard and do his own thing with it, but... if I'm an architect of the Marvel Universe? That's one awesome friggin' set piece that I'd like to use in the c...

Nice piece, Josh. Mirrors what I -- and probably all other NaNovelists are thinking these days. I've always thought of The Will as being made up of The Desire and The Confidence. Obviously, you have to have the desire to create your art. But any artistic endeavor will meet that Fear you mentioned, and it takes a certain amount of confidence to beat that back. You must think to yourself: "...

@kwoktalk - excellent point about the space issue. I have some early iPhone comics where I actually just downloaded the issue itself (Atomic Robo, for example). That one sits in my iTunes, so I don't worry about space. But I'm using and enjoying ComiXology now, and wondering... just how many of these can I download? Do I still own them if I delete the app from my phone? I suppose I should log ...

@drakedangerz - totally agree. Hamner is a respectable talent. I was just reading the Question story and thought it looked great. it's definitely tough to compare to Williams, who is offering up, like, four different styles per issue, but Hamner's no slouch. I'd completely buy a Question ongoing by him and Rucka. @ohcaroline - also agree. It's definitely a reinvention of the character. I don'...

I think, was it Conor on the Starman Booksplode, who said something like "...it's not about the number of words, it's whether or not they're the RIGHT words"? I think the thing about James Robinson is that he has a real flair for theatricality in the dialogue -- at least early in his work. It's not naturalistic. It definitely reads to me as a poetic, theatrical approach. Larger than...

My eyes...no, wait, my ears... no wait... Man, now I'm just waiting for Marvel to come up with scratch n' sniff comics so they can assault yet another of my senses. that was a terrible, terrible song to go along with some really bad animation.  Y'know, even though I decided I wasn't interested anymore, I at least kinda respected the Spider-woman motion comic because it seemed like it w...

Last week it was Mike's piece on affordability. This week Sonia nails one of my other internal conflicts. What are you people doing, rooting around in my head like this? But seriously: this conflict definitely plays to two sides of my personality. On the one hand, I love to always have books on me. Right now, I probably have 2-3 books in my bag. I like to sit at cafes and read. I like to rea...

Way too early in my stack to make the call, but I did read this issue today, and I loved it. Like @ohcaroline, I've been championing this one for awhile, so I'm glad to see it getting some (more) attention (yes, I know... Eisner...but still -- I mean here in my favorite community ;) ). What I really enjoy about this is that Fraction's kind of let go of the "write for the trade" men...

Dr. Fate and Hawkman are two of my favorite DC characters, so I have to admit I'm damn curious about this. I don't watch Smallville anymore (havent' for 3-4 seasons now), but I may have to tune in for this. It's funny, though, when I first heard about the JSA appearing on Smallville, I assumed it would be a story revealing the history of an OLD group of heroes... I was hoping for some grizzle...
