July 6, 2010 11:42 am Great comparison to the film world where in a strange reversal the guy who writes the thing doesn't get the same credit as the dude who executes it, so to speak.  You get a few superstars like Charlie Kaufman, David Mamet, etc. but the limelight typically shines on the director.    I always found it odd that the opposite holds true with comics but there you go...

Looking forward to catching up on all of Irredeemable in one shot!

BQ: Yes, but what's strange is that they're out to get me drunk, so I don't mind as much.

August 3, 2009 3:16 pm The second I picked this up I knew it HAD to be the Book of the Month.  Darwyn Cooke was born to adapt these stories.  Can't wait for the rest of the series - it'll look mighty fine on the bookshelf.  Not only is it the basis for PAYBACK, but also the excellent Lee Marvin film POINT BLANK.  They have nice, shiny new editions of the first half dozen or so Parker novels available anywhere fine books are sold, for those comic fans that enjoy the occasional book 'o' prose every now and then.

"I got hugs from the little men in my iPod"

In an article full of great lines, that may be the greatest.  

July 8, 2009 9:29 am Regardless of the reason(s) behind Winick's leaving the book, I'm disappointed.  I thought the first issue was great, and Daniel pulling writing/art duties leaves me concerned for the quality of the book overall, even if it is just for six issues.

...Sorry.  Ater feating on Conor, Ron and Sonia's lust for man-flesh culminated in them cannibalizing each other.

Apologies for "going there."

Batman and Robin

BQ:  No one.  In the end it would come down to two men, warily circling each other, waiting for the opportunity to strike.  Being the smaller and more cunning of the combatants, Josh makes a mad dash under the legs of the hulking Jimski, giving him a righteous smite on the back of the head.  Victory would be short-lived, however, as Josh falls prey to the slippery bar of soap, broken free from the sock wielded by Romo.  Having crashed to ground, he only has time to wonder at the cosmic significance of Conor's reluctance to fight with his coveted Absolute Watchmen, opting instead to finally read all of the prose sections before literally being eaten by Sonia and Ron...

For the curious, Paul and Gordon killed each other not with weapons, but with words: specifically over who was a better intern during this year's conventions.  And Dave?  Well, from what little remains we can only surmise it was from a broken heart.

March 18, 2009 9:38 am My dreams are filled with a Gordon mini-series, written by Rucka...sigh...
