February 16, 2012 1:18 pm If you're done with Star Wars now, does that mean you won't buy the voices for your GPS?

The Top 5 Comic Conventions of 2011
October 26, 2011 3:51 pm I had an absolute blast at FanExpo, and I am already looking forward to next year. I also certainly hope to add "meeting up with iFanboy folks" to my itinerary next year.

My Digital Comics Manifesto
October 26, 2011 9:18 am @Josh I don't think it needs to always be in the art. Something from the app that lets you know the issue is done and then gives you a choice of re-reading, going to the next issue, buying the next issue or returning to your library would be nice.

My Digital Comics Manifesto
October 25, 2011 1:31 pm I'm in whole-hearted agreement. Since I got my iPad, I've been loving the digital comic experience. I love not having to make the extra trip to the LCS, even though I'm blessed with some good ones. I love not having to worry about the good books selling out before I get there (sometimes by Wednesday afternoon).
I'm finding that it is already grating on me that with some of my Marvel books, I'm having to wait for when they might come out digitally, if at all. Come on Marvel... day and date!
Until then, I'm loving the experience and am using the $0.99 days to explore older books I may have missed.
I do hope they get a little more reasonable with the pricing though. I looked and picking up the first 10 Gotham Central books, but the online price for them together is more than I could get the trade for on Amazon.

My Digital Comics Manifesto
October 25, 2011 1:27 pm @boosebaster I had the exact same experience with the end of Dixon's Notch (nice work Josh, btw). I was sure there was something wrong and that it was stuck, but then I read another comic and the same thing happened -- but in that book the artist had written a little "end" in the bottom corner of the last panel, so I was able to clue in.

REVIEW: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1
September 16, 2011 10:20 pm I loved this book, as it just felt exciting and new, and it felt like everything a no. 1 book should be. It just had something extra, being the first book in establishing Spider-man as a legacy character. His origin felt familiar and new at the same time.

RECAP: FanExpo11
September 1, 2011 4:09 pm Lovely to have you here. I'm local and it was my first FanExpo but due to a great experience with the show in general and with Dale Eaglesham in particular, I'll be back!
