June 14, 2010 2:44 pm My first comic ever, probably at age 10, definitely off of a spinner rack at a corner liquor store. Thought it was so cool to buy a #1, then proceeded to spill Kool-Aid all over it.

How about this one that I commissioned Matt Kindt to do for my wedding?  It looks 'amazingly' (ugh) like us, and made a great wedding present.  Click below to check it out.

January 14, 2010 9:10 pm Hey, I'm a loyal iFanboy Member, and also review comics for kids on my blog!  Check it out!  www.outfromthecomicshop.com  I teach middle school and my kids LOVE "Bone" and "Tiny Titans".

So happy about this podcast!  I teach "Bone" in my seventh grade classroom, and even reviewed the Jeff Smith documentary on my website (www.outfromthecomicshop.com).  My students loved reading the first volume so much last year that this year they voted the series their favorite kids' book series!  Over Harry Potter!

And boy, Jeff Smith's enthusiasm is infectious, isn't it?

August 3, 2009 9:13 pm Great marketing move by Mark Waid & the guys at Boom. Great title.

July 23, 2009 1:12 pm @ato220 I'm not big on Ross covers either, but something about how the all-red washed effect on the cover of ASM 600 was awesome.

June 24, 2009 9:25 pm Didn't see this at my LCBS today.  Did it really come out?

June 18, 2009 9:57 am I will say that though I find this series to be a difficult read sometimes (and that I find the backmatter too self-serving, and rarely read it all), I will say this: Gillen accomplishes in his dialogue what only the best writers (in comics or in prose) can do, which is to make the reader wish he could have such poetic coversations.  The dialogue isn't like Gillmore Girls or Juno, which always seemed a bit too clever, but just clever enough.  Bravo.

June 17, 2009 1:39 pm Nearly every library I've been to, including the one in my building, has a copy of the first trade, and I always wondered why.  I read some of Busiek's Superman, and found it unbearable.  The enthusiasm in this podcast has convinced me to give him another shot.
