November 23, 2011 1:39 pm "you know what they think, find it abhorrent, and the work doesn’t matter" Dave Sim thinks that I am a soul-sucking void. It will never matter how brilliant the first half of Cerebus is. I want nothing to do with him. To a (slightly) lesser extent, I won't support Orson Scott Card because of his views on marriage equality, but that's mainly because he is on the board of the National Organization for Marriage, and a portion of his money will go straight to their coffers. I have no interest is helping him.

November 8, 2011 12:37 pm I am already bored with the DCnU. I find myself dropping more and more superhero titles, and the ones I pick up have something else going for them (Demon Knights is sword-and-sorcery, Cloak & Dagger is about their relationship for me) After years of avoiding X-Men, I'm picking up Wolverine and the X-Men because it's shaping up to be more about a mutant Hogwarts than ~earth-shattering events~. Because really, superhero comics should be fun. If they're not fun, I'm less likely to be interested. Furthermore, I got into comics via Sandman, Alan Moore, and The Invisibles. I've had fun in the years that I've immersed myself in the Big Two, but at the end of the day I'd rather find some comics that bend my mind and challenge the way I view the world, or at least storytelling.

February 1, 2011 2:28 pm A friend of mine on tumblr designs superhero themed clothing sets on Polyvore.  They are awesome.

Yay, I wasn't too late!  (even though I was).  Everyone looks great-- especially stuclach. (It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!)

April 24, 2010 10:43 am Runaways could actually be done really cheaply, especially if they drew from the teen TV talent pool.  The most expensive bit would be Karolina Dean.

April 24, 2010 10:38 am Well, I think it's not hard to figure out where my favorite Vertigo book ranks, seeing as how you didn't even mention it.  Have any of you ever read an issue of Air? (Though it does read better in trades)

April 15, 2010 10:10 pm I didn't pick up SHIELD for the exact reason Josh said-- I don't need SHIELD to be part of some Dan Brown-type conspiracy.  I'm cool with it being a Cold War, American espionage organization.  I've been disappointed with Hickman's Secret Warriors for the same reason-- he's getting away from everything that makes Nick Fury great to do something New! and Different! that's actually just really underwhelming.

...comic book fans are the most attractive and socially adjusted of the geek subcultures.

 I made this same observation working for my comic shop's stall at Anime Boston last weekend  ^_^
