Name: Erik Hanson

Bio: Started seriously collecting comics with 1983's Atari Force. Soon followed by Swamp Thing which opened the DC universe to me. Up until 1989-90 I was all DC, but I was seduced by the dark side of the force - namely X-Force and the early 90's craze of over the top art work and lack of story (see Image Comics). It would take DC's Preacher to bring me back to my senses. (oh by the way, that photo to the left there was taken of me at Zodiac Island at Lake Berryessa!)

June 11, 2013 1:37 pm Was impressed with the last issue of this series. Ales Kot is on my radar now.
June 11, 2013 1:32 pm @TonyyG and scottie67 - I get the impression if Kirkman offered you the grape Kool-Aid you would drink it. ;) I kid, I kid, but yeah there is a fine line between fandom and blind loyalty - just be sure you are on the right side my friends. If we didn't complain every now and then about stuff then we would always get the same ol' stuff right? What's the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." (actually I sorta hate that quote). Like for example, if we didn't complain that McDonald's served the same stuff over and over we would have never gotten The McRib! =) And come on dudes, the tiger shit is some silly shit you gotta admit. Hey! That rhymes! Reminds me of "If it doesn't fit you must acquit." I'm making the T-Shits now! (Oh man, gotta love a comment that references both Jim Jones and The McRib)
June 10, 2013 6:15 pm I'm all for jerking the wheel (that sounds kinda wrong) but Ezekiel and his tiger is pushing it man. I will say I did like the exchange between him and Michonne last issue where she called him on his bullshit. That scene may have saved things.
June 10, 2013 6:10 pm Think I'm gonna throw on Van Halen's "Unchained" while I'm reading this one on Wednesday.... "Woo-hoo! Take a look at this! Hey man, that suit is you! Whoo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure! Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo! (Come on Dave, gimme a break) Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up! Change, ain't nothin' stays the same Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin' Changed, ain't nothin' stays the same Unchained, yeah ya hit the ground runnin'" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maQjttazW6Q
June 10, 2013 4:40 pm Has this series "Jumped the Shark"? Or should I say, "Jumped the Tiger"?
June 10, 2013 4:28 pm damn it - you dudes beat me to the punch.... http://ifanboy.com/articles/comic-book-casting-the-justice-league-dark-movie/
June 10, 2013 4:24 pm This series has been pretty good so far - digging the "Vertigo-ness" of it. For those of you who thought John Constantine would be watered down in the DCU, you should check this book out. Not too shabby. And also, speaking of John Constantine, have you guys seen his new TV series? "What?" you say, "Constantine doesn't have a TV series. There has only been that shitty movie starring Ted Theodore Logan." Okay okay, that is true - it's not really a John Constantine TV Series I'm talking about but AMC's "The Killing". That's right, The Killing stars none other then our favorite trench coat wearing, cigarette smoking, foul mouthed comic book character. Don't believe me? Just check out the last two episodes of the new season that just started (season 3). The character of Detective Stephen Holder, played by the fantastic actor Joel Kinnaman, is motherfucking JOHN CONSTANTINE! Take a look.... http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/screencrush.com/files/2013/05/the-killing-season-3-6001.jpg It's him! Holder's got the trench coat, he smokes, he cusses, he can sweet talk his way into or out of anything- he is the perfect JC. I was watching this other night with that thought in mind and the series, which is WAY better then then the previous 2 seasons, just got that much cooler. So, check out JC on TV next Sunday at 6pm - it's fucking awesome.

June 10, 2013 4:08 pm I'm not trying to be a hater, I just still have a bad taste in my mouth from Lee's Justice League. I also took a look at the so called "preview" for this comic (2 pages worth) and it was pretty much some splash pages with Snyder's words in some boxes pasted around the edges of Lee's drawings (albeit pretty drawings). And yeah, I know it was just two pages out the 32, but still, it worries me. I really want this series to be good - Superman needs a good series right now.
