May 23, 2011 5:17 pm Did this not already come out? Or was it released earlier to bookstores or something....because I bought a used copy of this HC from a Half Price Books over 2 weeks ago. Hurm..
Saw a snaek preview earlier this week, and I can't wait for the film to open so I can promote it with my wallet. I took a few friends who aren't comic readers with me, and they immediately went out and bought the first three books in the series.
While I don't think that this will be a film that does anything to bolster the reputation of movies rooted in graphic storytelling (I stand by Road to Perdition on that one), SP is kinetic and funny - I can't remember laughing nearly as hard in any of the other comedies I've seen this year. Wright's taken the property and created something with a ton of youthful energy, and as a result, I'm really hopeful that Scott Pilgrim will score big with teenagers (and grown-up 80's kids who owned Power Gloves, like me).
GREAT movie, a ton of fun, and totally suitable for a date or a night out with friends. I'm with Gabe though - don't think this will be a huge hit, but it'll pull its budget back in and then some.
July 6, 2010 4:51 pm Pulled all of my old single issues of Brubaker's Cap out of a longbox this weekend and celebrated Independence Day by remembering the run that made me a believer in Steve Rogers in the first place. I really hope that this mini recaptures the feel of those first 20 or so issues Brubaker and Epting did together - I love the modern-pulpy vibe they were able to create together, and Eaglesham is just such a fantastic artist..
April 12, 2010 4:27 pm I foolishly never even looked at any of the Johns/Manapaul issues of Adventure, but I was pretty stoked about this series when the announcement was made. Having seen the previews running for this issue in recent DC books though, I cannot WAIT to read this book! That art is gorgeous!
April 5, 2010 5:17 pm Further curiousity... is this an ongoing or a mini? I'm in either way, but I don't recall hearing what the format for this series was.
April 5, 2010 5:16 pm I love me some Hickman - hoping that this series has the same kinda of historical conspiracy vibe that he brought to Pax Romano. Is there any likelihood of him telling more stories out of that universe (or ever finishing Red Mass for Mars, for that matter)?
April 5, 2010 10:36 am My mind is officially blown. I was already pleased with the quality and frequency of the content here on iFanboy, and this announcement just blew the roof off. I couldn't be more pleased with this site and this community - LOVE all the additions you keep bringing to the the iFanboy family guys!
February 22, 2010 5:05 pm Having spent all weekend catching up on Tom Vs. the Flash while writing papers, I'd say it's pretty consistent with Barry's character to show up this late. Here's hoping the issue opens up with Iris complaining about it.
February 17, 2010 3:06 pm Way to go guys! Y'all have been THE most consistent source of info and enthusiasm for the comics industry in my life, and I can't tell you how much iFanboy has encouraged my love for the hobby. I really do hope that in joining forces with graphic.ly, you guys gain a greater voice and a stronger presence. Long live the iFanboys!!!!
