Name: daniel woolley

When daniel was a little kid he would hang out at his parents bike shop after school until it closed and they could take him home.  They would let him walk around the corner and spend the afternoons at the local bookstore, sitting in the picture window by the magazine rack of comics.  The owner knew his parents and let him read all the comics for free.

thus started his lifelong addiction.

Moore Takes a Step Too Far

On Sep 24, 2009 3:00 AM

  pdallor hit the nail on the head in my personal opinion.  Alan Moore is an incredible writer, who also happens to be a dick, nothing new there.  I would however like to point out that we are dangerously close to descending to typical internet troll status in this thread.  One of the things i've always loved about this site is that the ifanbase tends to be made of thoug...

Great Moments in Comics History: Secret Wars #6

On Jul 17, 2009 9:00 AM

it looks to me like the Hulk is telling an embarassing story about Reed, who is desperately stretching to shut him up.   Hulk: Then Stretchy Man Stumble out of Strip Club and....   Reed: Gahh!! Shut Up! (I'm so shooting you into space for this)

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern

On Jul 10, 2009 11:45 PM

Wow, so this is one big ol' hornets nest huh? i know it's jumping into the lions mouth but here's my 2 cents. Personally I'm ok with Reynolds (not my first choice but he should do fine, and i could see him pulling off the role really well with the right attitude.)  timberlake was great SNL host, but nowhere near top 10 of all time.  ...Gary Busey? is there a joke that I'm missing?

A Quick Rundown of the New Batman Era

On Jun 2, 2009 9:00 AM

Well, i'm going to try out all of them for the first issue, probably won't continue on all 6 but with so many great ideas, characters, creators i'm sure at least a couple will gain a perch on my pull list.  If i had to guess? B&R and Streets of Gotham.  Maybe Detective depending on how much page-time Renee gets.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 05/29/2009

On May 29, 2009 4:00 PM

Thought i'd throw in a couple book club suggestions: We3 would be a good self contained story, and it has a different feel than most of the previous suggestions. or if your book club has read "The Dark Tower" books by Steven King you could transition them in with "Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born" i've gotten a few people in to comics with that series.

Genre Fiction? Again?

On Apr 22, 2009 8:38 AM

Ok this threads discussion of genre vs. non-genre is giving me serious Fiction 403 flashbacks.  I agree   that comics are weighted towards genre, but i don't really mind; A. because i love genre fiction and B.  because the literary world is so heavily weighted against it.  If you walk into any literary circle with something that has even the faintest whiff of genre o...
