September 9, 2011 1:01 pm I live a 2-minute bike ride away from a LCS in OKC, OK but decided it's worth driving 15 minutes to a different LCS because they actually treat me like a human and not some automated robot that is programmed to appear every Wednesday. My biggest complaint with the old LCS is that they would never have their new comics ready and on the shelf at noon on Wednesday when they opened. You would have to wait sometimes until 1:15 before he would allow you to begin buying. (In my head every time: IT'S NOON! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL MORNING!?!) New store had a midnight opening for JL#1 where if you bought the first issue, EVERYTHING in the store was 52% off...On FCBD, they were open 24 hours and there was a different sale every two or so hours through the night.
June 2, 2011 5:54 pm Really bummed they're not going to be $1.99...there's no way I can justify paying cover price for a digital copy of something. 
May 25, 2011 6:09 pm @mithrandir  Agree on that two page spread...loved how he used the bats in the negative space...
May 25, 2011 6:05 pm Hickman was awesome as usual, but there were two Reed panels (pgs. 3 and 6) that really threw me off as I was reading.  He looks twenty years younger than he normally does in those two panels.
May 25, 2011 6:01 pm First time reading Secret Avengers...Other than the Lincoln Memorial panels which were ridiculous but fun, I wasn't feeling this...Ending was way over the top for me...really melodramatic.
May 11, 2011 11:05 pm This was awesome...Might be my favorite book right now.
May 8, 2011 4:50 pm This was my first FCBD and I had a great time.  Hit up two stores, got 10 free books (Atomic Robo and Mouseguard were my favorites).  Picked up Preacher Vol. 9 at first shop and then went back to second shop at 11pm because they had a BOGO on all trade paperbacks.  Picked up Hickman's first two Fantastic Four trades and the two Thor Mighty Avenger trades....Pretty awesome day for less than $50.
May 5, 2011 7:09 pm My favorite Axe Cop panel was the two page spread with the two smashed-up super monsters fighting each other...but who can argue with Axe Cop Lava Bull?
April 28, 2011 5:48 pm Great review!
April 27, 2011 5:27 pm @torgelfi  Yeah, I was hoping someone could explain that as well.  I just started reading with FF#1 and didn't know if the weird relationship with Doom this issue had something to do with stuff that happened pre-FF...Any help?
