I’ve got to say that this issue, while pretty good, makes me a little worried about the future of this…

This isn’t really a review of this comic so much as a rant against what the Hulk has become in…

March 21, 2013 6:05 am I think the most fascinating thing about this is that people are bothering to pay $0.99/1.99/2.99... Why bother with the 99 cents? Just pay $1/2/3. Weird.
February 24, 2013 10:09 am This was spectacular. Anyone who's reading The Sixth Gun owes it to themselves to get this mini. I actually thought was better than the main title has been in a little while. Not that the main title has really been bad, just maybe in a bit of a doldrums period. More a comment on how great this Sons of the Gun issue was.

December 11, 2012 4:22 pm I thought of "For All Seasons" and "Kryptonite", the Cooke/Sale Superman book. Both had that small town, home cookin', Clark is a "good man" who struggles how to define his humanity much more than his goodness, feeling about them.
December 11, 2012 11:51 am I can believe Bill Murray as an Adam West-like, campy Batman 100x more than I can believe Johnny Depp as any sort of Batman whatsoever. I dig Depp as an actor, he can range from just a lot of fun to serious very well, but Batman he ain't.
October 23, 2012 11:56 am The guy played Gandhi, and to quote his Wikipedia page... "Kingsley's father, born in Kenya, is of Gujarati Indian descent..." So if that's what you're uncomfortable about, it's all good, it's not a typical white washing of a character. Otherwise, I think Kingsley is a pretty interesting choice. He's obviously a hell of an actor, and can certainly pull of being intimidating and scary (Sexy Beast), so I'm all for seeing what he can do with the role. If anything I always held out hope they'd get Faran Tahir, the main terrorist from the first movie, to become the Mandarin. I think that would have been a neat character progression, but I can understand why they'd want to put a big name actor in the role.
September 18, 2012 6:28 am Are they gauging the market or something with all of the Thanos re-releases? I'd be a lot more pleased if they released a Thanos omnibus, collecting most/all of his big time appearances.

August 27, 2012 3:39 pm Superman: Red Son is really the only Mark Millar story that I've unqualifiably loved.
