Anything is better than Nomad. Just didn't dig it.

March 3, 2011 1:27 am BTW.  I vote Josh lives but only if he does just one more Bill the Butcher "Woops a daisy". That shit cracked me up.

March 3, 2011 1:24 am Your first love is the one you remember definitely applies for mine.   Secret Wars.
You guys referenced it but it was truly the 1st company wide multiple crossover and mini-series event. It crossed through Amazing Spider-Man;^[2] Avengers;^[3] Captain America;^[4] Hulk;^[5] Iron Man;^[6] The Thing;^[7] Fantastic Four;^[8] Marvel Team-Up;^[9] Thor^[10] and Uncanny X-Men.  There are several significant developments in the series: villainesses Titania and Volcana are created;^[13] the second Spider-Woman, Julia Carpenter, is introduced;^[14] Spider-Man finds and wears the black costume for the first time, initially unaware that it is actually an alien symbiote;^[15] (the symbiote would subsequently bond with journalist Eddie Brock, giving birth to the villain known as Venom);^[16] Doctor Doom temporarily steals a portion of the Beyonder's power;^[17] having fallen in love with the alien healer Zsaji (who sacrifices her life on Battleworld to save the heroes), mutant Colossus ends his romantic relationship with a heartbroken Kitty Pryde;^[18]  Kitty herself meets a new companion in Lockheed who becomes a mainstay in the X-books for many years. The Thing chooses to remain behind on Battleworld and explores the galaxy for a year,^[19] with the She-Hulk temporarily joining the Fantastic Four as his replacement.
These are ramifications.
Its spawned a toy line. Some truly great creators had a hand in its creation Mike Zeck and Jim Shooter.   I think that Secret Wars raised the Marvel awareness of a generation of young comic readers.
Therefore I vote to have Marvel Superhero Secret Wars be granted Granddaddy of them all status!
Who's with me? (Crisis was overly dramatic and depressing....but really good too..)

February 22, 2011 3:02 pm OK guys of course there is too much material to make a move out of the whole series but the ideas and characters presented in the Preacher comic book can make a spectaular movie (or 3).  I personally dont like to see panel for shot remakes of comics. Watchmen was visually stunning but it was not so much a stand alone peice of cinema as a fully rendered motion comic. Just getting the genius work that is Preacher in front of more eye balls is worth tedium in itself. And if it gets Garth to give us one more taste of the Preacher world in a one-shot or mini then it was all well worth it. Crappy movie or not!!!

I hope all you trade waiters realize that without the fans like myself and many others in the iFanbase and around the world going to the shops every week, you wouldnt have those trades to wait for.  I understand that if you are in a foreign country or out in the wilderness you cant find/get to a shop but if you want to support the comics industry going forward you need to pick up some monthly stuff!!!!!!!

January 13, 2011 12:22 am I get Irredemable, Incoruptible and 28 days Later from Boom. I also have a number of Avatar books I get. Crossed FV is great bloody tension filled apocalyptic fun with a twist. Dont get me wrong. I LUVS ME SOME ZOMBIES! Thanks again Avatar for NOTLD!  Muppet/Pixar books dont work direct market and if it doesnt work direct market then it wont work in a 22 page monthly format.  Make them manga sized digests if you are looking to hit the younger market.
BTW manga sux.

January 10, 2011 11:01 am Been with you guys for 5 of the ten years and I must say that you have introduced me to some books I never would have tried and I truly appreciate it. I do look forward to both the POW and the VidPods. Keep up the good work.  Congrats on a decade of cool.

December 15, 2010 12:06 pm I se that some folks have already commented in defense of Rob Williams but I have two words that should end all the Williams bashing.

CLA$$WAR!  That series was awesome.

December 2, 2010 11:41 am Who knew that Superman was a teabagger even back then. 

October 14, 2010 3:11 pm It never slowed down The Flaming Carrot!
