October 12, 2010 11:18 am Honestly I'll probably stay in and watch THE WALKING DEAD. I don't want to spend the money or time to dress up this year.

September 30, 2010 2:23 pm I remember this issue! (Well, more accurately, I remember the meat-grinder line). I bought it while on a two-week family vacation and read it nearly to tatters over that time, but lost track of it as we were packing up to leave.  He's talking to the Joe Fixit Hulk, isn't he, Paul?

Han shoots first.  Everyone else loses.  

 

Sorry about the mess.

THE WALKING DEAD for me.  Although I need to read CHEW.  Other thoughts:

1) I actively dislike SCALPED.

2) I think Mignola has the best "universe" out there, with the Hellboy/BPRD/occasional add-on all working together.

3) I need to read INVINCIBLE also, mainly because I'm getting kind of sick of the big 2's superhero comics. 

September 5, 2010 5:21 pm Is it me, or do the Hellboy/BPRD artists draw more and more like Mignola the longer they are with the characters?  That's not a bad thing, obviously...

I don't hold Darwyn's prickliness against him; conventions are long, tedious affairs especially for someone of his stature.

But I can't agree with him.  If violence was alienating young readers, then there wouldn't be a roughly infinite number of Deadpool books out there.  To the degree that kids are buying comics at all, kids are buying those books.

So the real issue must be sex - and by "sex" I must assume he means homosexuality, since Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark aren't getting naked any more often now than they did when I was thirteen. To which I say, I don't care if Kate Kane's lesbianism is a "stunt" or not ... as long as the books are good, that's all I care about.  If that makes me a dirty old man, so be it.
