February 1, 2012 3:23 pm I like the visuals and things associated with pulp, thanks for the recommend.

February 1, 2012 3:19 pm Sounds like an interesting enough concept to me, I'd like to see what they can do with it. It's too bad Moore had such a falling out with DC, but I guess it is what it is. Doesn't that artwork for Crimson Corsair look somewhat like Mr. Moore?

January 19, 2012 10:44 am I would have included perhaps, Remo Williams and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Both have pulp constructs and influences, but at the same time it's the same pool that comics come from.

January 19, 2012 10:08 am I agree Winterworld is a fun romp. It comes closest to me of a scenario that might happen with nuclear winter (I guess you could argue the same with Waterworld and a warming world). It would be nice if Dixon and Zaffino would revisit this world at some point in the future. It's tough guy fiction and well told, reminding me a bit of Tim Truman's Scout in some ways.

January 8, 2012 3:11 pm Excellent review Pete Parker. I've not read a FF in a while, and though I felt like I needed a Cliff Notes for some of the characters, I still enjoyed issues 2 & 3. I think this take on FF is where the movies of FF should have gone--large cast of characters, cerebral storylines, technology beyond the imaginations, and an epic tale. This story is almost like a Secret Wars or Crisis or summer series, but all contained within the FF universe.

January 6, 2012 3:07 pm I wondered if they were similar

December 30, 2011 12:40 pm I read more DC regular monthly issues, but enjoyed more graphic novels from other companies like Paying For It by Chester Brown, The Great Nothern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonist by Seth, and Stop Forgetting to Remember: The Autobiography of Walter Kurtz, as well as: Imaginative Realism by James Gurney, and Stan Lee's How To Write Comics.

December 30, 2011 11:46 am For movies, I'd add: 13 Assassins, Beginners, Meek's Cutoff, and Unknown. I enjoyed Captain America for a super hero flick. I'm sure there's a few others I've just not gotten around to yet: Hugo, Tintin, War Horse, etc. Glad to see Midnight in Paris mentioned. There was a two hour PBS special on Woody Allen last year that was very well put together, and after it aired it peaked my interest to see all his movies, which I've yet to watch. I started with Match Point and enjoyed it quite a bit. I think for me, Breaking Bad was the best TV. I'm not too much for TV series or drama, but always enjoy just about anything on PBS, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, and enjoyed The Walking Dead.

December 1, 2011 11:32 am This sounds like something I'd be interested in as I've always like the fandom aspects of comics and the creators. I used to pick up and read CBG to fandom press stuff so thanks for spotlighting it.
