June 25, 2009 12:37 am I think its funny how readers are getting overly distracted by women in tights. I personally thought the story has potential and honestly, I liked it a bit more then Detective Comics 854. I hate to say it, but guys, man up, and enjoy the story and dont be afraid of the art. I agree with Connor, this is low end cheese at best.
@jerichobp: I personally do not like baseball but did read Moneyball, a book about the Oakland A's.
@ifanboy team: you have named books that I would have never picked up because I did not find the "reference/setting" appealing such as, Scalped, I Kill Giants, and Y: the Last Man. After reading them, in most cases, I have greatly enjoyed them. This is definitely an example where I do not like the setting, but after a great review and great comments by the ifanboy community, I am willing to pick this up and form my own opinion.
Before this site, I was your typical X-men, wolverine, punisher guy. Now you can count me in on Unwritten, Chew, Scalped, and looking forward to Astro City. And yes, I Kill Giants is the most moving thing I have read in comic book form! I look forward to a HC of it as well as a movie adaptation ;)
June 14, 2009 4:55 am Based on the review and podcast, I went and bought this. As soon as I was done, I gave my copy to my sister and insisted she read it (she is not a comic book fan). I plan to buy a couple of more copies as gifts. I want this in HC!
It's a heavy week for me, 8-11 books total. I am also trying to get caught up with Proof, Invincible, and Scapled in TB.
