September 1, 2013 8:20 pm This is very sad news indeed. I've been coming to the site and listening to the podcast since about 2004/2005 when I got back into comics. I hadn't kept up with weekly comics since the early nineties and was looking for a good online source for information and some general recommendations of what was good, not to mention trying to catch up on a decade of continuity. Man, you guys really delivered! You turned me on to so many great comics I probably never would have picked up. I was an old superhero fan but I can't imagine life without Criminal, Queen and Country, Preacher, Y The Last Man and so many other gems. I owe you eternal thanks for praising Fear Agent so much that I finally bought the trades. When I first started to listen to the podcast, I was an old school Artist first collector. Now I am definitely a story first enjoyer of comics. I don't care how I read them (monthly, trades, digitally). I don't buy issues thinking they'll be worth a fortune. I buy what I enjoy reading. I'm not a comic book collector. I am now a comic book reader. It's one of the four pillars of my entertainment enjoyment (comics, movies, television, concerts). You guys showed me that's OK. Connor, Josh, Paul, (and gone but not forgotten Ron) and everyone else at iFanboy, thank you for the great website and content. I wish everyone the best of luck in the future and am thrilled that the weekly podcast will continue. It's been a blast to share in this community.
January 2, 2012 3:14 pm Batman: Knight of Vengeance #2 It is rather surprising as I look back at the year in comics and find that the single issue that stuck out the most for me was a comic from an Else-Worlds type story with very little actual impact on continuity. And I never thought a Batman book without Bruce Wayne (or at least Dick Grayson) would have been excellent and memorable. But for me, Batman Knight of Vengeance #2 was hands down the best single issue of the year. It was truly shocking. The scene with Gordon tracking down the Joker and his hostages was as suspenseful as I have read all year (and I love everything Snyder has done on the Bat books in that department). The Joker twist at the end sealed this as the best single issue of the year. Good job Azzarello and Rizzo.
