This issue was top notch. Bendis shines when he focuses on character centric stories and what’s more character centric then…

February 7, 2012 11:29 am Wow that looks pretty awesome, they've totally won me over. Also, Dennis Leary is in this??? Hooray!
February 6, 2012 3:20 pm Agreed on Matt. It really felt like some scenes which may have fleshed out his character were cut of for time. That scene where he vists the girl he's interested in, only to act all aloof? it didn't work without more context
February 6, 2012 2:06 pm read the comments above, you'll the reasons why we think they're better
February 6, 2012 1:56 pm I can agree with that. I actually feel that the character turn was working up until the climax. Im sure you know what part i mean, but everything leading up to that point i felt worked. they lost me after the gas station scene
February 6, 2012 1:42 pm I loved this movie. Out of every superhero/superpower movie i've seen, this one handled it the best. Never before have i ever come out of a movie with such a strong desire and longing for superpoers. those flying scenes alone... whew boy! Im conflicted over the camcorder mechanic though. I felt it had far less "shaky cam" than its contemporaries (thanks in part to the plot itself) but at some points it was way too much and it was hard to follow. other times though, it immersed you so well into the action that i really felt it was the best way to handle this sort of material. I don't know i wouldve enjoyed it as much if it was handled differently. maybe a combination of regular filmmaking and the camcorder mechanic would've been the best choice. I also felt they handled the character turn really well. His motivations were extremely relatable and i didn't feel like it came out of nowhere. It couldve used a bit more fleshing out in the tail end, but all in all, i was EXTREMELY satisfied. this has become one of my favourite superpower movies of all time. " Later, the filmmakers tend to cheat a little," Agreed. They DEFINITELY did
February 6, 2012 1:31 pm My LCS moved to a location that was far less convient for me. After a year of being stuck in rush hour traffic on an alternate route home from work for the sole purpose of picking up comics, i decided this was just crazy. I had stuck with them only out of loyalty, but my time was worth more than that. it got old really quick.

February 6, 2012 1:22 pm I don't understand the point of this initiative... Do these digital storefront offer individual sales or discounts? if not, why would i buy through them rather than comixology? Not to sound overly harsh or anything but is this initiative only to help support my local store, because if so, then that's not really my problem, is it? What's the benefit to the consumer?
February 6, 2012 12:11 pm Welcome to the other side, Jimski! Isn't the grass so much more greener over here?? :D Personally, Im all digital now. I have a shop that's relatively close to my work and every wedneday, when i have a trade im slightly interested in, i still pop in, but more often than not, i leave empty handed. I'd just much rather have a digital version which doesnt add the growing clutter in my house. Be forewarned though Jimski, that one-click purchase, combined with a lack of a shopping cart option is dangerous on the old credit card. Im usually surprised at my total bill once i get that email from itunes a day later. It's become very ease to OVER spend on these digtial marketplaces
