November 25, 2011 11:37 pm Funny thing ... I was planning on jumping off at the end of this arc. Now I'm not so sure ... Really looking forward to 589-599 ...

November 25, 2011 11:34 pm Seemed to me like they were all episodic chapters in one epic narrative. I didn't read these as separate stories ... Definitely a 5/5 on story and art and my POTW hands down.

November 25, 2011 11:32 pm I daresay that was the best comic book I've read all year ... I need to figure out where the back story for this REALLY begins ... I've read all the Fantastic Four since Hickman took over, but still feel like I'm missing something ... help?!?!

November 25, 2011 11:30 pm jumping on point?

November 25, 2011 7:21 pm Hmm ... there better be one heck of a punch line in #72, because this felt incredibly anti-climatic ... mixed feelings about this issue ...

November 23, 2011 10:01 pm Mr T did come back though ... ;D

November 23, 2011 2:37 pm I've loved Starborn and am happy to own any title in single issues that publishes less than 3,500 a print run. Someone on this board explained to me that the licensing fee Boom! probably paid to Stan Lee to publish those books probably had a little something to do with the axe falling on low sales. I'm not surprised that Walt Disney has let Boom!'s license on their properties lapse. Now that they own Marvel outright it makes sense to bring the production of those properties home, or so I'm guessing ... Boom! has done rather well with all the anthropomorphic titles and animated adaptations. The book I worry about most is Orc Stain by James Stokoe. I'm pretty certain he does ALL the work on that title--and it is a phenomenal book ... a clever premise and story accompanied by absolutely stunning artwork. The next three issues in that book are solicited for Dec 28, so I'm guessing they'll be released early next year. Preview of #7 at Stokoe's website here: http://orcstain.wordpress.com/2011/06/05/ham-n-mutherfuckers/ But that book leaves me in awe of the commitment and passion some of these writers and artists give to their craft. I assume that the financial return for a book that rarely makes the top 300 when it comes out isn't exactly substantial. The fact that Mr. Stokoe continues this title is inspiring.

November 21, 2011 1:16 am Oh boy ... do I need to go all the way back and re-read from issue #1? So friggin' confused ... I remember Rahne's dream ... at least I thought it was a dream ... and I remember Tryp ... but the connections evade me.

November 15, 2011 1:47 pm Here's another thought ... Layla could die ... and then come back from the future again.

November 15, 2011 1:46 pm Right ... but killing Guido then bringing him back to life wasn't necessarily anything special either (although there is some mystery involved with that development ... waiting to see what happens) ... Peter David has a history of head fakes like this ...
