05.13.2012 – Episode #334 – Uncanny X-Force #25
May 14, 2012 3:31 am As a 23 year old, just wanted to let you know that I did very much appreciate the Real World reference. Special Edition podcast for the 20th anniversary?

New Comics for 04.25.2012 is almost finished with the ESPN oral history book
April 23, 2012 7:52 pm I'm really surprised there hasn't been more buzz about the AvX Vs. book (although it does seem to be getting a good number of pulls). Moronic title aside, this seems like a no-brainer pick up to me if you are remotely interested in either artist on the book. I feel like the various artists are just going to be given complete free reign to go as bold as they want, which should look awesome, especially with two guys the caliber of Immonen & Kubert on this issue.

Heads Up: Marvel Comics Previews – July 2012
April 17, 2012 3:58 pm I know I'm not the first person to come up with this (at least I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere), but that Powers FBI book does really remind me of the never-made 4th season of Veronica Mars. I'm not accusing them of stealing that idea (since it wasn't really a completed idea anyway), but now that's all I can think of when I look at the cover.

DC Comics Announce New Digital Line Up
April 13, 2012 3:13 pm Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the Parker/Hardman story as part of this Batman Digital. That could be the best thing ever.

2012 Eisner Nominatons Announced
April 4, 2012 3:16 pm I have to imagine the Best Graphic Album category will come down to Tale of Sand and Habibi, which makes for an interesting category. Two difficult books to compare. The biggest shocker, of course, is Scott Snyder not nominated for Best Writer, but that category is pretty strong otherwise.
And, as Josh pointed out, the Limited Series category is really stacked.

I, VAMPIRE #7
March 29, 2012 1:49 am Agreed, would really hate to see this book get cancelled. Every issue has been better than the one before it, and Sorrentino has become one of my favorite artists over the last few issues in particular.

WonderCon 2012: Wood on X-MEN & ULTIMATE X-MEN! Eaglesham on HULK! Parker, Shalvey, & Walker on DARK AVENGERS!
March 18, 2012 3:25 pm I assume Marvel wouldn't announce this, but since Thunderbolts is now going to become a "branded" Avengers book as Conor pointed out, do they plan on increasing it to $3.99? I'm really starting to vote with my wallet as far as these price increases go, so I'm hoping it doesn't happen because I have been quite enjoying this title.

The Best of the Week in Panels – 03.14.2012
March 16, 2012 5:30 pm Can't argue with that choice of panels from Wolverine & the X-Men, but the panel from the same page or so with Broo in shadow leaning up against the building holding the bloody shirt actually made me tear up. So I have to mention that panel.

New Comics for 02.29.2012 thought ‘The Artist’ was easily the best film of the year
February 27, 2012 2:12 pm Looks like Ron & I tied with 19. Those shockers in the Editing and Actress categories really messed up my ballot. Proud to say I went 3-for-3 on the shorts categories though! Really a disappointing year in the Picture field though; if I had to rank my top 5 films, usually most of them are nominated. This year, though, the lack of nominations for Shame, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Young Adult, etc. hurt my interest somewhat. Plus, after being there live last year, watching from home is a little less exciting.
