Bio: I am the alfalfa, and the omega-13. I am an awesome sandwich with extra "WTF sauce", and cheesy goodness extrordinaire. I love comics, like a man loves a big breasted woman, whose loose enough morals to coaxial my cable, on the first date. Which means... I LOVE FRIGGIN COMICS! I'm an unpublished comic book writer, utilizing everything at my disposal, accept roofies to break into the industry. And Mayor of the imaginary town called, Baconopolis. Huzzah! Huzzah!

(UPDATE) Robert Kirkman Responds to Tony Moore’s THE WALKING DEAD Lawsuit
February 11, 2012 1:17 am I personally hope it's just a falling out, and not an all out war. These guys were friends, and money can make folks act funny...but if you're friends, you have to work that stuff out. Call me pollyanna (just kidding...if you do, i'll snap ur necks like dry twigs), but sometimes friends count more than scratch.

Top 5: Worst Avengers
January 25, 2012 2:00 am Jack of hearts is one of my favorite characters. He has been underused, and then was martyred later on, that and the limited miniseries that I read one time ago that I can't remember, either who wrote or who drew it. That's sad, because I really enjoy it.

Can Marvel Win Me Back?
January 19, 2012 3:06 am I am not sure if anyone has made this point yet, as I tried to read every reply to this post. But my eyes started to do and Fred and Ginger and I got overly anxious and decided to post any way.
My first comic at the tender age of 11 was a Marvel comic. Im and will continue to be a Marvel comic fan, unrelenting fan, for the rest of my life. My loyalty comes from the many years where Marvel gave me enjoyment that I could not get from DC comics, or any other comic book company.
Having said that, I have not always been pleased with a lot of what comes out of Marvel. In fact I've been outright disappointed with a great many things that I've read, that Marvel comics produced. And my immediate response to that displeasure, was to not buy that book again.
But the Point I'm trying to make, is that apart from the last few years marvel's kicking ass. They were doing great things, they had great writers, they had great books. And then they were purchased by Disney. And, while not being 100% certain about this, I think that's when things changed.
Given all of disney's wonder in amazement, there public persona, they are a very large company also owned by ABC. And with that ownership comes a good degree of focus on the bottom line. And while comic book companies have to focus on the bottom line, their demographic is a unique one. As a demographic that I'm sure Disney had not fully understood, and maybe just recently started to figure out. At least in my opinion.
And yes marvel can be over reliant on events. But in marvel's history there have always been event comics, it's kind of their history. And there've always been that writing, and that art. And that may not change, because to marvel's defense they may be just trying out new talent. Or relying on talent that many have seen better days.
But, that's the way it is with th anything you give your attention and loyalty to. Are going to be bumps, and they're going to be false starts, and maybe even great disappointments. But you weather those to get to the good stuff. I think that's just the way it goes when you're dealing with th anything creative. It's not always going to be a home run, but you hope in the very least, it'll be a good read.
And, if it's not a good read there's always something on television. That's just my 2ยข.

Hoping To Recapture That ‘Smallville’ Magic, The CW Orders ‘Arrow’ Pilot
January 13, 2012 12:03 pm It is my sincere and fervent hope, that they decide not to go the way of Tiger beat, and make it as close to the original character as I'm sure we all remember. I would like to see Ollie instead of Oliver. It would be a good counterpoint to see a radical, semi-militant, justice seeking hero on a channel that is rife with girls who wear far too much juicy couture. But that's just my opinion.
