How Much Will You Pay?
November 24, 2012 9:25 am I don't do it that way because if a book suddenly takes a nose dive in quality or they switch the writer/artist team and you are in effect reading a new title then it takes a while to cancel it. You can't just walk away easily. If I find this happens in my lcs I can just tell them to take it off of the pull list. When you subscribe you can easily be stuck with bad books and that wouldn't happen if you got a chance to skim them on the wrack first.

How Much Will You Pay?
November 21, 2012 7:52 am The price keeps me from buying a lot of comics until I can fish them out of the discount bins in a year or two or three. Especially marvel which tends to be more oriented toward big events than actual stories. I know I'll be able to pick up all of AvX for about five dollars if I wait a while and frankly I don't think it's worth that much. More hype often equals less story.
What the price does it push me to consider more indy titles because those will be harder to find later on. I know that if I miss a Wonder Woman I'll be able to find it later, but something like Courtney Crumrin might be elusive. So often if I'm really tight on the budget that week I'll skip a lot of mainstream marvel/dc stuff and pick up the indy titles.

Cyclops: Where Do I Start?
November 1, 2012 4:24 pm Does it matter where to start? They've shredded him like they do all the characters. If you knew Cyclops from the past and liked him (as I did) the one goal of the past few years has been to make sure that you don't like him. Now he's like all the other marvel heroes: villains waiting for the chance to switch sides.

October 31, 2012 6:43 pm It's very hard to tell what exist and what doesn't exist in the new 52.

October 31, 2012 5:09 pm Then again after Identity Crisis why would anyone trust her? Maybe they are a well matched pair.

October 31, 2012 5:08 pm Yea, but he's Constantine. Why would anyone trust him?

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK ANNUAL #1
October 31, 2012 3:21 pm I liked it but I still can't get used to the new Zatana. At least in the old days they'd have to gag her to keep her down, now all that they had to do was bind her hands. And she had an affair with Constantine? That's just about as bad as Scarlet Witch having an affair with Dr. Doom.

Comic Book Casting: The BATWOMAN Movie
October 29, 2012 9:09 am They'd be hard pressed to get the feel of the book onto the screen. To me the artwork on Batwoman is as much a character as the actual characters.

The Best of the Week in Panels – 10.24.2012
October 26, 2012 9:06 pm I thought that they killed her off at the end of SI because they were throwing darts at the names of expendable characters and her name was hit.
