January 10, 2012 7:29 pm I think you've missed the point of the article. Jim's not suggesting that we binge on entertainment. He's saying that people shouldn't feel guilt over participating in something we liked as a kid, and in some cases we should embrace it because it may create a bonding experience with our kids. Nobody's endorsing escapism to the degree you're talking about.
November 3, 2011 5:24 pm @Josh - You're right! That is the most uncomfortable I felt reading something today, or this week, or this year, or many years.
September 30, 2011 7:39 pm I agree, these articles are great. They always generate a lot of discussion. Title suggestion for a future article - "What's Wrong With You, Josh Flanagan?"
September 16, 2011 1:25 pm This is a relevant comics issue (as in problem, not #1). Josh is speaking on behalf of comic readers who are faced with this issue. There are more comics coming out than I have money or time for. So, as a fiscally responsible family man, I have to pick and choose. I'll admit that picking and choosing has become more difficult with the new 52 releasing. You're doing a great job Josh (and the rest of the ifanboy crew). There will always be people who will begrudge the work you do because they don't like what they do. You all took the risk and initiative with this site and it paid off. You should never be made to feel bad for that. Most of us really appreciate the work. Thanks!
@genelaw9 As a reader of Locke and Key and Deadpool, I'd say you're about halfway there.
