I was thinking about that "superhero dream team" questions, and the "teams should have five or seven" rule.
My Marvel dream team would be Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man, Daredevil, and Molly Hayes.
My DC dream team would be Selina Kyle, Vic Sage as the Question, Renee Montoya as the Question, Harvey Dent in his not-quite-Two-Face but still on the crazy side incarnation, and Beast Boy.
Then I'd do a universe exchange program, where Beast Boy could go to Marvel with his rah rah team spirit, and Daredevil could come to DC and hang out with the other misanthropes.
I'm convinced that this little story says something about me, and my relationship with these two companies, I'm just not sure what yet.
Love the podcast!

Go to CommentSea Monkey Dreams: 30 Years of Advertising in Comics
On Nov 5, 2009 9:00 AMGreat overview! I tend to regard it as an event when I see something advertised in a comic book that I would actually consider buying. I'm not a gamer, and I'm not likely to join the military, so that doesn't leave much. I suppose I've occasionally gone to movies or watched TV shows that were advertised in comics, though the only one I remember for sure checking out b/c of a c...
Go to CommentSo...what do you like?
On Nov 4, 2009 9:00 AMI'm really enjoying Dark Reign, particularly everything that's going on with Osborn in 'Dark Avengers.' I'm into all the stories Bendis is telling right now, really, and seeing the threads that have been laid over the last several years come together. The new 'Batgirl' series has, so far, been a really interesting relaunch, that reads like DC trying to address some things they ha...

On Nov 3, 2009 8:48 AMI've been thinking about this a lot lately, myself. Well said. And I listened to the Murmur podcast as well -- Kelly's motivational skills are very impressive.
Go to CommentNew Comics for 11/04/09 still don't know what time it is
On Nov 2, 2009 3:22 PMVery excited for XMen vs. Agents of Atlas (the first issue was fantastic, esp. the Chris Samnee art in the backup story), and Stumptown. I've also really been liking the Iron Fist Immortal Weapons series, though I don't know who the creative team is on this issue. Plus, the Cinderella-centric 'Fables' spinoff, which Paul pointed out to me not too long ago; I'm not a big 'Fables' fa...
Go to CommentWho is... the Wolverine?
On Nov 2, 2009 12:36 PMNot only does the mass-murderer get to be on Captain America's Avengers team, he periodically gets to lecture other heroes from a position of moral authority. That one's always baffled me (and I *like* Wolverine, I've just gotten used to ignoring about 90% of his canon, which is fortunate because I'm not a gazillionaire.) Anyway, well mused. I particularly like the Silver Age...

Go to CommentMarvel Goes Digital And Mobile
On Oct 30, 2009 4:15 PMI don't see digital comics replacing the comics I buy at 1.99, but I might download some that I was on the fence about and wouldn't pay $3.99 for. This would all be assuming I have the right platform for it, which I don't at the moment (I don't have an iphone and my laptop is so old I don't download much of anything but podcasts at this point). But this announcement does have me won...
