I’m happy to say this issue has convinced me to stick with this book for the time being. In the…

I was cautiously optimistic about this series after the first issue.  It was nice and I could see the spark…

This ending really punches you in the gut.  I didn’t notice that the pilot had been hit, though it is…

January 23, 2014 11:09 am As for the creators political views I actually find Dark Knight Returns even better because I now know how much of a crazy old dude Frank Miller is.
December 8, 2013 9:40 pm Haven't listened yet but I can already tell that the question is going to be pretty good.
October 5, 2013 7:43 pm Should give me something to read come next Wednesday. I'll be saving this one in the hopper for when I finish.
September 16, 2013 12:04 am I was also surprised by how quickly, rushed is too strong word, they decided to wrap up Locke and Key. Maybe not more issues or a whole new mini-series but a higher page count for the last few issues of Omega would have gone a long way to give the art a chance to let the plot and character work breath.
September 2, 2013 10:36 am Sad to see the site go but totally understandable. You'll have the distinction of being a website I look back on with nostalgia and fond memories (which I guess is going to be a thing now). Lots of thanks to everyone involved and I'll still be looking forward to the podcasts every week. Best of luck to everyone and thanks again so much. I guess it's kinda fitting I just finished Preacher last night. Does this mean I have to retire the Fear Agent shirt? Maybe I'll just wear it on my birthday now to keep it in good shape.
August 8, 2013 10:45 am At least it's better than Gotham. No one expects you to do anything against the Parasite or Zod. People actually expect you to "police" guys like Mr. Freeze or the Mad Hatter. Not to mention all the mafia people.
July 8, 2013 6:57 pm HEY! No articulate questions that get to the philosophical heart of the issue! In all seriousness, someone mentioned how editors work great as a second opinion and can stand in for 'the reader' when necessary to see if something works. That really seems like the issue here. All artists have these kinds of people, be it friends, family, significant others, or actual editors. The issue comics has is that you've got licensed characters so instead of the financial interest being that the product succeeds it's that you preserve the "integrity" (a better word escapes me) of the I.P.
June 25, 2013 12:53 am The watercolors/paper thing is something I'll have to look at. Definitely calls for a side by side comparison. Also the digital books have all the extra stuff except for the back cover ad from my understanding. So I get the inside cover shorts. If that wasn't included I would be tracking this down in floppies.
June 24, 2013 8:24 pm I'm glad to see this is coming out because that means I can buy the bundle for the this arc digitally. How do you guys read this in issues? It would kill me waiting like that for this book.
June 24, 2013 8:22 pm Totally agree. That whole franchise, even if you leave out Hellboy, has been knocking it out of the park for years. They seems to get such fantastic artists that can pull off the moody and sometimes horrific stories (see current Wasteland arc in the main book).
