December 11, 2010 12:28 am Man, I caught up on all of Smallville this year, and this is the first episode I watched during its airtime, and now I have to wait more than a month for the next episode.  Great.  But honestly, this show has been amazing.  Great way to end it until January. 

Also, is there any information on Bart, Cyborg, and Aquaman?  Aquaman was back two episodes ago, but none of those characters' faces were shown at the end, only Black Canary.  It was obvious that the entire team was walking.  Can they not get the same actors to return?

December 4, 2010 12:20 am As many have said, my top two are Amazing Spider-Man #625 and Sword #24, but if I had to pick one: Amazing Spider-Man #625.  I don't think I've gotten more emotion out of a single issue than that one, and it is just one of those stories I will remember for awhile.  The moments feel so real and tragic.  A great single issue sticks with you, leaves you thinking and wanting more, which is what both AMS and Sword did.  I think AMS gets the edge mostly because of Max Fiumara's art, which elevated the issue's impact, the way Joe Kelly narrated the issue using multiple perspectives, and how it redefined a character in such a raw way.

I kind of wish I had picked up Brave and the Bold #33.  Need to hunt that down now...

Does anyone know if and when this feature will air again?  I completely forgot to record this...

August 13, 2010 3:28 am I absolutely enjoyed this movie.  Just saw a midnight showing, and I actually spent the whole day before the movie reading books 2-6 to finish the series.  My excitement for this has been unbridled, so I'm glad the movie did not disappoint.

May 27, 2010 12:16 pm Is this a recommended "jumping on point" if someone has never read Thunderbolts before?

March 20, 2010 6:45 pm Does anyone know a good jumping on point for this title?  I've been loving the cosmic stuff for like a year now, but this is the only series I haven't read.  Could I just start here, or is it best to wait after the Thanos Imperative?

January 23, 2010 6:39 pm Dave Stewart's coloring is phenomenal.  I love the vibrant fantasy world juxtaposed with the milder reality.  The art overall made me enjoy this a lot.

Thanks for answering my question Ron!  I actually finished the first volume of Akira today, and I understand avoiding the novel if you've seen the movie.  This first volume didn't speak out to me as much as I thought, maybe because I had such high expectations from what I've heard.  In my opinion, it's definitely worth looking at to see how detailed some of the environments are drawn.

@josh: As I said, I just finished the first volume and I can relate to your experience.  Overall, while I'm interested to see how the story unfolds, some of the writing styles didn't appeal to me.  Personally, I found it odd that the characters always had to speak out loud when they were alone.  It's like what Mike said in a recent article: a lot of text, at least in this first volume, could have just been expressed through the art, specifically facial expressions or body language.

October 31, 2009 11:09 pm This series is phenomenal.  Although some of these deaths may not be permanent, I'm definitely interested to read further.  That's what this series has been about anyway.  An unlikely team trying to protect the universe, deal with loss, right the wrongs, all the while dealing with their number one enemy: the balance of the universe/life - the fact that there is always a price to pay.  This is probably the biggest consequence yet, and of course, it's for the team's biggest/most important mission yet.  It should be interesting to see how the remaining team grows from this.

October 29, 2009 11:38 pm Everyone seems to be loving this.  Is there anyone who is not as familiar with Superman lore that is enjoying this origin?  I haven't read Superman in years and I'm wondering if this is the best origin story/general story to pick up.  I'm not really familiar with the Legion either, but I'm guessing that's okay for this series.
