January 26, 2011 4:38 pm Excellent job as always Jason. I bet Wizard didn't expect a combo Comic Fan/ Wall Street maven to break it down for the public at large.
January 10, 2011 4:45 pm Excellent article Jim. I just nodded with you the whole time. I rememeber when that Stern/ Buscema arc came out. And you are right, they were just doing their job without fanfare.
I understand the reasoning behind trumpeting every new issue as the new hotness. But I agree, it would interesting to see what would happen if the big two just released some good stories and let a few issues happen. I think legitimate buzz could do as good or better a job than the bland repetitive Previews/ Comic Shop News blurbs.
October 22, 2010 1:31 pm OMG. That Frankavilla sketch is fantastic! He is head and shoulder my favorite (living) artist. He tops himself with every sketch
Clearly, Mr. Turitzin should have had security remove the fan at last year's meeting.........
I have no idea how this will play out in the longer term, but i expect a noticeable increase in unit sales for the first several months of the new pricing system (ie..fans like me will likely buy a few extra titles with the money "we save").
August 27, 2010 10:56 am Wow! Hardman's Black Panther and Wachter's Captain Cold are outstanding (and should be given to me). The others are fantastic as well.
Nice article. It nicely summed up my similar feeleings on recent changes on creators and books.
I just recently read approximatelty 30+ books with the red Hulk in them. I see no reason to ever read another again. yet, if i want to enjoy my Avengers, I am required to suck it up. Bah.
I bought Action with Lex Luthor partly for Cornell, but partly to tell Lex "thanks and keep up the good work opposing he Big Boy Scout".
I will stick with my Disney stock
cheers

Nice Job as always Jason.
Firstly, John I love the work you do on Word Balloon. Tahnks for all you do
Question for Ed: If you were esked to adapt ANY existing film into a comic, what would it be.
(Could be a one shot or a series or whatever you like, you get to pick your art team and you get paid to do it)
Thanks, Greg Leclair, Toronto
