Bio: By day I'm a lawyer at a big law firm in DC. By night, I'm a nerdy guy who loves videogames, books, tv, movies, and recently rediscovered my love for comics after a decade or so away from them. iFanboy has been a big help in getting me interested again and providing me with good resources to find out about great comics.

August 7, 2012 12:24 pm I'm a little confused by your difficulty finding certain books digitally. Comixology has 98% of all new releases each week. A scroll through the new Comixology releases and the Dark Horse app's new releases each week is all I need to stay up to date. My understanding is that Graphicly generally hassn't been focusing on single issue distribution for months now, and if this [ https://comics.comixology.com/ret/259/Isotope_Digital_Store/ ] is the Isotope Comics Storefront on Comixology you're referring to, it seems to have the complete selection of books available on Comixology now. (If that's anything like DCBS's digital storefront, Marvel books have only become available through it for a few months, but the Marvel books weren't hard to find on Comixology's regular storefront). I certainly don't dispute the general premise that digital comics purchasing is not without its costs (and I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that Marvel's digital pricing remains utter lunacy, particularly for older books), but it seems like you were pursuing a particularly odd digital purchasing plan. Each Wednesday I spend 5 minutes looking through through Comixology's new offerings, and occasional an extra minute or two loading up Dark Horse's store, and the only books that have given me trouble in the past six months or so have been Fury Max and Black Kiss. Having gone digital for nearly a year now, I don't see myself going back to print issues anytime soon.
August 6, 2012 9:25 am They said something personal and not-entirely-positive about someone they like. That person's feelings were hurt. Not having intended to hurt that person's feelings, Josh said "Hey, sorry about that, that was shitty." If this represents the whole world going insane to you, we live in a pretty different world.
July 19, 2012 2:21 pm Don't forget the "001," whatever that means. I'm sure it'll all make a lot more sense when 4 more images of people you may or may not have ever seen before are inserted at weird angles on those folder labels.
July 19, 2012 12:21 pm I felt so burned by their last anthology-ish "Point One" issue, when it turned out to be a glorified handful of preview pages from upcoming titles (did some of those not even come out? did anything happen with those twins?). Felt like I dropped a ridiculous $6 for the kind of content they usually give out for free. Despite some really talented creators on this, I'm going to pass on this unless I hear some really positive reviews.
June 22, 2012 12:58 pm Yes, I understood that his senses were gone and that he was incorrect about having made it to safety, I just couldn't tell if that was because he failed to make the jump, or if his jump succeeded but he was simply mistaken in his belief that the jump would lead to freedom.
June 22, 2012 12:15 pm That Daredevil page is beautiful, but I was a little confused by it--are we supposed to understand that his jump fell short, or is it that he did make it over, but just doesn't realize that the bad guys are already there? I think it's the former, but I couldn't really figure it out from looking at this and the panels leading up to it.
June 20, 2012 11:06 am Wow, that Witchblade cover art is striking, but also kind of looks like Juggalo pinup material.
June 20, 2012 10:39 am You all have convinced me that I should give that Silk Spectre book a try after all, though given the slow-ish schedule, I'm still tempted to wait for the trade. One thing I've always wondered about when you mention him on the show--why do you all pronounce Dustin Nguyen's last name like "Gwinn"? Is that how he pronounces it? Every Vietnamese person named Nguyen that I've known pronounces it with the G silent, not the N, more like "Nwinn" or "Nwen." I don't know if we are in disagreement on the pronunciation of that name in general, or if Dustin just happens to pronounce it in an unusual way himself. Constan-teen, Constan-tine, let's call the whole thing off.
June 12, 2012 11:18 am Has Scott Snyder ever worked with a less than great artist? I have yet to see an announcement like "The next arc on Scott Snyder's book will be drawn by Greg Land!" Everyone he collaborates with is great.
June 12, 2012 11:13 am Don't worry, your English is excellent (far better than my Italian, I assure you), it just struck me as a funny turn of phrase to use out of context.
