May 2, 2013 10:01 am So, does Superman kill now? I mean, you don't laser-eye somebody on a hunch assuming it'll break them free of plant-coma-overload (which he admits was not his intention) and you certainly don't do it for the fun of it...right?

November 7, 2012 10:13 am Conor, I do agree that Lucas was a great Indie/Young filmmaker and made great films early on. I was trying to articulate that the properties that are within "our" immediate realm of concern are under fire. I do not know why I omitted A New Hope, I thought it was in there. American Graffiti is a great film, but again I was tackling the larger franchises. I just simply disagree that he is this near God in cinema, because it seems that people give him all the credit for everything related to him and his production companies. I believe that Lucas has been able to do so much more than people realize with his companies behind the scenes and should be given credit for his postproduction studios. I guess I feel as if he created this great sandbox of a franchise, but was unwilling to step outside of his creative "temple" the fans built for him. As far as business is concerned; I believe Lucas was able to capitalize on Twentieth Century Fox's lack of faith in A New Hope, because they gave him the merchandising rights off the bat. Because of this oversight he was able to buy the franchise back from FOX after the initial success and just continued milking the merchandise market to fund all other projects. So his business decisions are what saved him not necessarily his merit as the demigod he is held up to be. In all I could be full of it, but it's just my opinion that he is overrated for the wrong reasons.

November 1, 2012 8:45 pm I can only hope that they would. That right there would be a huge seller...especially for X-mas. There would be hundreds of thousands of original trilogy fans getting what they want.

November 1, 2012 8:42 pm Lucas' greatness is over rated. I'd encourage everyone to remember that every time Lucas was the sole writer and controlled everything on screen, that project was not received well. The Indiana Jones Franchise (except the 2008 film) and the original Star Wars trilogy were collaborative projects. Because of this audiences were exposed to the best possible outcome. The fact that Lucas only directed A New Hope and none of the Indiana Jones Franchise, should convey my point. As long as there are people that have the power to say "no" to Lucas, any/all franchises associated with him will be fine.

September 16, 2012 2:15 pm Conan has huge puppy-dog eyes...kind of odd for a Barbarian.

June 19, 2012 7:10 pm This should be a standard response to readers from creators to explain delays! Oh and freaking awesome guys!

June 14, 2012 8:57 pm I honestly felt like this series and Irredeemable just fizzled out. The last few issues gave me the feeling that both series were in for an awesome climatic ending...but not really.

June 14, 2012 8:53 pm A cross over already? Boo.

June 7, 2012 3:04 pm You know it would be truly progressive of DC if they didn't announce it. I mean if it's not a big deal then why go through the trouble of announcing it. I think a fitting announcement on sexuality would have been that Hawk & Dove weren't gay; just two straight dudes in super tight baby blue/red and white spandex.
