October 28, 2012 6:23 pm Great discussion on Icon/Vertigo/Image and creator ownership!

October 28, 2012 6:05 pm I don't know....the word just seems to have popped into the lexicon over the last few weeks.

October 28, 2012 5:43 pm Is "meta" the new thing now..?

October 25, 2012 7:55 pm Seriously, Cyclops is wrong and must answer for his actions and decisions. The idea of his creating a "Utopia" is admirable but TELLING people this is how it will be only naturally invites resistance. No one likes being told what to do or how their lives are going to change regardless of what they think. Cyclops when he was on the beach with Cap started this, just like he was a dick to Wolverine in that recent mini-series with his "She never loved you" comment. He knew that would get his ass kicked just like he knew that firing on Cap would start shit. This was never a anti-mutant thing, this was Cyke thinking he knows more than everyone else and being an arrogant dick.

October 24, 2012 1:16 am I thought that Ned Leeds was the original Hobgoblin, does Roderick Kingsley pre-date him?

October 24, 2012 12:16 am I predict there will be a whole new, and rightfully earned, anger in January behind the TBS show King of the Nerds. Tge commercials alone are so demeaning and pander every stereotype. I hate it.

October 23, 2012 1:16 am I loved it but just couldn't get used to the Triathlon character during the Busiek/Perez run and it was weird seeing him in the long overdue series.

October 22, 2012 7:54 pm I am in agreement with the over-pimping of the "nerd" and "geek" culture by the mainstream media and marketing outlets. But I also don't use either term in describing my love for comics, and I also must point out that because I don't look like the stereotypical comic reader that I always get the sideways glances from people at cons when I go. Like a "You don't belong here" look, it's been present for years so I'm accustomed to it, but it can make a person feel unwelcome even though their love for this hobby is genuine. I've run across a person from this site a couple of conventions and every time I say "Hi" and say how much I enjoy the site he looks at me as if I am about to beat him up and take his wallet. This is a very insular and guarded group and one that doesn't take kindly to pretenders, and due to the recent success of all the films from comics its now in vogue to claim to be a part of the culture, even though the ones claiming it are only vaguely familiar with it. i don't know what Megan Fox does with her free time but I can see her authenticity for the hobby being doubted solely based on her appearance. And the piece that is talked about in the article doesn't help when someone who looks out of the perceived norm starts to get into the hobby, "humor" like that is small-minded and only makes people circle the wagons more and increase the reluctance to welcome others into the fold because their interest is always being unfairly scrutinized. So believe me, I see the effects of this weak attempt at "humor".
