December 26, 2011 5:58 pm I snagged a signed & numbered Adam Hughes cover reproduction print of JLA Classified #1, and a 19" Galactus :) Went Boxing Day shopping this morning and picked up a new gaming PC, looking forward to trying out Star Wars TOR

December 9, 2011 1:59 pm Well, his shadow behind him had the Shredder gear... maybe he hasn't adopted the persona yet, hence the not-so-subtle allusion? Although if that's the case then as a literary device, that would be some pretty transparent foreshadowing... Either way, awesome issue

October 24, 2011 5:09 pm Game of the year for sure. I'm not a big 3D-at-the-movies guy, but the stuff they are doing with games lately is really cool. I was lucky enough to pick up a 60" 3DTV last month, and I have to say that cruising around Arkham City in fully rendered active-shutter 3D is FREAKING AMAZING!! I spent the first while just zipping around shouting "I am Batman" at whoever was in my living room, then had a laugh when I got the first trophy and saw the title. Sweet validation.

October 24, 2011 4:10 pm No can do, I used up the last of my vacation days on issue #1 :)

October 21, 2011 5:07 pm ....and Pak just confirmed it's over

October 21, 2011 5:06 pm Also, isn't Herc ending right away too? That would be kind of double lousy for Van Lente and Pak. I can't imagine there wouldn't be something big coming down the pipe for those two if that were the case...

October 21, 2011 4:59 pm I really don't have a gut feeling either way, but this much is true: It's WELL within the realm of possibility that, since the original story was an 8 part mini, Marvel would choose to start the actual ongoing over at #1 rather than continuing at #9 purely for the marginal sales increase that would come along with releasing another #1 issue.

October 18, 2011 12:55 pm Saw that top 5 on Attack of the Show a couple days ago, pretty big consensus out there for Superman 64. Anyone old enough to remember the first 8-bit Nintendo attempts at superhero games might have something to say though... I remember the X-Men game for NES as being particularly unplayable. Go grab an emulator and see just how well that game holds up :)

October 4, 2011 10:35 am Devils advocate or not, the position put forward is that the end result is the same, therefore the means of achieving it are irrelevant. That's simply not true. The medium is the message. I can walk into a restaurant and pay for a meal. I can also walk into a restaurant and eat, then dash out on the check. Either way, the end result is the same: I am fed. But you wouldn't say "They both ended up with the same result, so what's the difference"? You would recognize that method of paying was legally and morally acceptable, while the method of stealing was legally corrupt and ethically challenged. Similarly, you can't contend that because something done illegally yields a certain result, then accomplishing that result "legally" is equally corrupt and immoral. Yes, piracy lets people read comics for free. But the fact that such is true can not be seen as a means to condemn legal methods of viewing comics for free. In doing so a pirate might use similar fuzzy logic to come to a result such as "piracy gives comics for free, but so does loaning/borrowing, so that must not be ok either. So if your going to say that loaning borrowing is ok, then so too should be my method of piracy". Again, an interesting argument in trying to justify piracy, but still logically broken.
