May 21, 2012 11:56 pm Wow. I also figured it was wrapping up. Its kind of awesome not having any idea what's coming next.

May 21, 2012 11:52 pm Still waiting for them to announce Hickman on Silver Surfer.

May 14, 2012 7:13 pm Wonder Woman may be the only one of the DC 52 I'm reading when the dust finally settles. Obviously its not for everyone - no book is including Batman which I'm on the verge of dropping - but the sales figures seem to indicate a lot more people like Azzarello's WW than what came before.

April 17, 2012 1:37 am I thought Saga blew Saucer Country out of the water. Didn't read Manhattan #1 but I love Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF work (although not a fan of SHIELD) so will give this a try.

April 12, 2012 12:42 pm Still laughing.

April 12, 2012 12:00 am With Scalped and Hickman's run on F4 coming to an end this year its going to be nice to have this one.

April 10, 2012 12:47 am 1) Get to artists early if you want a sketch. They're pretty much booked by the end of the first day if not sooner. 2) One on one with creators is awesome. Neil Gaiman did a reading at C2E2 a few years back and my girlfriend who is not a comic person loved it. 3) Don't pay the sticker price for books. It amazes me that people do this. Yes you can wait to Sunday. You can also go up to a dealer, pick out the books, ignore the sticker price, and say this is what I will pay. Then negotiate. If you don't like the dealer's lowest price walk away. Very often this will seal the deal in your favor. If not there are dozens of other dealers. Yes some people may think its dickish to nickel and dime but open markets like these are based on bargaining. And really what's more dickish the guy who wants $40 for a complete set of Infinity War or the guy who calls him on it. Books are worth what people are willing to pay for them not what a price guide says they are worth. (Getting off the soapbox now).

April 4, 2012 10:19 pm Just two comments: 1) I'm not sure I get Terry Moore. I realize I'm totally in the minority here and maybe someone could help. I've read the first 6 issues of Rachel Rising. It is beautiful and the characters are mostly believable but it just leaves me kind of cold [yes I appreciate the irony of that statement given what the book is about]. I love both indie books and books about female protagonists so I don't think thats it. Am I missing something? 2) I rarely make comic book predictions but I did a cartwheel when I saw Unwritten #24 nominated for best single issue. I've talked this one up before but if you get a chance read it. I would go so far as to say one of the five best single issues I've ever read period. Which is kind of a mixed blessing since with the exception of the issue about Madame Rausch I feel the rest of the series hasn't quite hit that height.

March 19, 2012 5:06 pm Last issue was fantastic. Enjoying the new cub-centric direction.

March 16, 2012 11:37 am Y #60 may be the best last issue of a series. Ever.
