May 21, 2012 11:44 am That Guardians of the Galaxy cover reminds me of this: http://www.shortpacked.com/2005/comic/book-1-brings-back-the-80s/01-just-a-toy-store/batman-can-breathe-in-space/

May 17, 2012 2:44 pm I feel like the nightlight missed an opportunity for creative placement of the light switch.

May 15, 2012 3:10 pm Something interesting to think about Conan, from a storytelling perspective, is just how versatile the character is. You can tell Howard created him specifically as a character he could tailor to fit whatever market he wanted to sell a story to. This magazine is asking for pirate stories? Well, Conan spent a couple years as a pirate. This month generals are in? Well, Conan was a general for a while. Etc. It worked really well for him, by the number of covers he made back in the day. Then Marvel went and did the same thing with Wolverine.

May 14, 2012 3:36 pm I know I was ready Iron Man at the time, but I don't recall that cover or story at all. Human Defense Corps! I liked that book.

May 8, 2012 10:47 am The Generation X movie was pretty horrid, too. The thing that always makes me sad about that old FF movie was that I distinctly remember Stan Lee gushing about it in one of his Bullpen Bulletins, during production. I'm guessing Marvel didn't know what was going on with that thing either until it was too late.

May 7, 2012 11:11 pm Denisof had a downright epic arc across Buffy and Angel. It's worth watching Angel just for him.

May 7, 2012 11:08 pm A theater around here has these Cinema Suites that are awesome - assigned seating, recliners, and best of all no one under 21. It was glorious.

May 7, 2012 12:15 pm "Mark Ruffalo, who I shamefully admit once seemed like an off-the-wall choice to me, knocked it so far out of the park it wrecked some guy’s windshield on the roof of the neighboring parking garage." Don't feel bad, this happens for 80% of the fanbase for 99% of the casting choices.

May 7, 2012 9:04 am heh, I think I was the only one in my theater laughing at that, too.
