July 16, 2009 8:11 pm I'm a hardcore lefty.  I hate Ayn Rand, but i think Baker's doing interesting stuff and I'm excited to see where he's taking things

I'm right with you on Loeb (I actually like Bendis quite a bit, even on Avengers, and I think Dark Avengers has been very good.)  But I expect Jeph Loeb to suck.  I know I am only reading Ultimatum to find out what happens to set up the new Bendis and Millar series.  5 issues and I won't have to read any more.

I expect better from Johns, because Green Lantern has been an enjoyable book since Rebirth, because he is certainly a better writer than Jeph Loeb, because he showed on infinite crisis and the sinestro corps war that he can do big cosmic crises that still respect the medium, tell good stories, and don't make me want to barf from disgust at cheap shots and poor writing.  This was women in refrigerators, brad meltzer brain hemmorage bad from a writer who, while admittedly not my favorite, is far better than this

July 8, 2009 9:57 am Next do a Flex Mentallo show.

May 13, 2009 8:00 pm The Jason Aaron story is great.  Way, not so much.  But hey, Tommie Lee Edwards' art is nice.

BQ: Excited for the Mets, hope Carlos Delgado hits his 500th this year.

March 24, 2009 9:57 am I feel like this show was never this good.   Yay for bringing back Micah.  Yay for killing off Daphne.  Yay for remembering that Matt Parkman has a wife and a baby.

March 10, 2009 10:17 am Watchmen's a comic book about the comic book.  One could argue it's a comic book about being a comic book about comic books.  That's why there's so much reference to text, to sequential art  - the tijuana bibles, the black freighter, etc.  This is one of the major elements, if not the defining element, of Moore and Gibbons' work; it frames the story and how the story is told.  In the film it's meaningless when present and mostly absent.

March 10, 2009 10:10 am Also, it takes a reeeeeaaally bad movie for me to be too disgusted by the closing credits to care about my chemical romance massacring "desolation row."  Ugh.
