"Do Americans even make shows without having an Australian in the cast?"

Yeah, what is it with all the actor in Hollywood being Australian?  Do they work cheap?  I can understand the British actors.  British actors are solid. They just act.  But Australians?  Where are all the American actors? In Australia acting?  

November 16, 2010 10:46 pm I totally agree.  The first issue was pretty good but the rest were really disappointing.

Really loved the episode.  I liked the fact that they kept the pacing.  They're not rushing the story.  Though the opening sequence seemed a little out of place.

What I think is most impressive is AMC.  They're cranking out some quality, quality television.

"@ Wood, comics though, unlike football, is a subjective mediium with few statistics to back up or form arguments behind"

I don't think you could be farther from the true.  There are metrics for the criticism of comics.  It's a long established medium with a huge back catalog of "statistical" goodness.  

 And thank you Neseman for summing up Bendis's style.  Something always kind of bothered me about his dialogue.  It's like he's trying to make them more like the reader, more accessible maybe? "Thirteen year old mallrat" sums it up perfectly.  I've just never understood the facisnation with Bendis.  I'm reading Scarlett and digging the story but the whole talking to the reader thing was distracting and gimmicky.  Stuff like that almost never works.  It tends to go down the road of flashbacks and dream sequences, nothing but crutches for writers. Perhaps the fact that he seems to be a really nice guy endears him to the fans?

Jim Lee - Ken Leung (Miles from Lost)

Erik Larsen - Ben Foster

Rob Liefeld - Shawn Hatosy

Marc Silvestri - Jon Bernthal

Whilce Portacio - Patrick Gallagher

Then you would have to get a fairly well know actor for McFarlane since he's the only one non-comic book people will have heard of.

 

 

 

September 13, 2010 7:43 pm I couldn't agree more with akamuu's review.  It was pretty disappointing.

September 8, 2010 10:58 am Scalped Walking Dead Chew Sweet Tooth Unknown Soldier Jason Aaron and Kirkman are the shit. I really don't get the whole Bendis thing. Flash is probably the only superhero comic I would even consider in top 10 but I don't read Invincible or Batman & Robin.

August 24, 2010 2:33 pm Oh I see, so what you're saying is Rick and the rest of the cast are Russian spies?  I'm catching on! : )
