December 6, 2012 1:09 pm The only con I go to anymore specifically advises against dressing up because it's inappropriate for the environment it takes place in. I, for one, am glad.

December 3, 2012 1:35 pm Shouldn't that explain precisely what the problem is to you, though? It's legitimately the only show I've seen on TV that offends me, because I see myself in one of the characters and all the traits I share with him exist only to be laughed at.

December 3, 2012 1:29 pm I'd rather have people do neither and either like me for who I am or just leave me the hell alone.

December 3, 2012 12:58 pm That last line of yours is precisely why I was so overwhelmingly happy to find The Chris Gethard Show with its mantra that loser is the new nerd. Avengers being the biggest movie of the year is great and all, but that doesn't mean that somebody wearing an Avengers shirt because it's cool has anything in common with me.

November 9, 2012 2:54 pm To be fair, expecting anyone that's not super interested in your niche interests to be excited to talk about it with you is kind of naïve. Compare the Diamond sales numbers to the Nielsen television ratings. Shows that have ten or twenty times the people consuming them aren't even things you could prod someone into talking to. My assburgery tendency to talk someone's ear off about my own interests until I catch myself noticing that they don't care taught me this a long time ago.

November 1, 2012 1:15 pm It was Batman, but I dunno if I'm feeling this new arc. Wolverine and the X-Men, on the other hand, only gets better every issue. More comics need to be fun.

September 11, 2011 6:10 pm I am disappointed that none of the comments so far are about Mike and Tom Eat Snacks.

July 20, 2011 11:33 am I'd be all for this except for the part where this totally qualifies as one of those things that doesn't need another movie. The live action one that already exists is already one of the best comic book movies of all time. YEAH I SAID IT. JUST TRY AND ARGUE WITH ME.

March 30, 2011 5:13 pm Another one: that Justice League Antarctica annual. That might be my favourite.

March 17, 2011 10:28 am You didn't see it coming? It was announced in 2003. Two thousand THREE.
