February 5, 2012 9:14 pm Regarding Brian Wood's The Massive, I do believe it will be regular series starting this summer. DHP is doing a 3-part story to give people a taste.
February 3, 2012 1:27 pm I disagree, Max. Although Cooke and Conner are great, that doesn't mean that we have to support their work in corporate comics (which is what this is, let's be honest with ourselves). If we do keep supporting these kinds of comics, then the industry is only going to keep shrinking. Then there won't be ANY new work from Cooke or Conner! Maybe I'm just basing this on principle, but it's one that I think is VERY valid!
February 3, 2012 12:54 pm As glad as I am that the Waid will the ending both series his way, I have to voice my gut feeling on this: NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!! DON'T LEAVE!! THE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD!!!
February 3, 2012 12:51 pm A great article as always, Josh. I can understand why DC is putting these books out. They want to make money. Pure and simple. I get that. But the fact is, this is just another example of the comics industry eating itself to try and stay alive. A year or so when Moore talked about the supposed lack of "top talent" in the comics industry, he was trying to challenge the industry and the creators to make work that is ON PAR with Watchmen, not just make MORE Watchmen! Moore's right! If this industry is going to survive outside of just being intellectual property creative houses for Hollywood, then they need to embrace new ideas. Before Watchmen is not a new idea. I'm not saying that the books will be bad, I'm just saying that I want something new!
February 1, 2012 8:20 am I learned my lesson with the Star Wars prequels. Sometimes you should just let the original stand on its own and leave the rest be. I'll pass.
January 15, 2012 7:30 pm I meant Cassaday.
January 15, 2012 7:29 pm What about John Cassady for BSG?
December 12, 2011 11:41 am @Conor: Haven't gotten a chance to listen yet, so thanks for the response. BTW, I ordered the Jake Ellis trade off DCBS this weekend based on your review. Can't wait to read it!
December 12, 2011 8:21 am No Book of the Month? Will it be on next week's podcast?
