November 20, 2017 9:43 pm This to me is heartbreaking. I get that there are a lot of older guys that come from the madmen era that just like to grab ass, and it seems to me most of the accusations against Ron aren't the sexual assault variety and more like "mean to women" variety but it's still so disheartening. I feel like the ifanboy guys are my friends, I know I don't know any of them really but I feel a friendship, it's so hard to imagine that people have a completely different relationship and emotion related to Ron. I'm pretty discouraged by this.
June 7, 2017 7:15 pm Agreed. That show is really good. I'm surprised more people don't watch, wish it was more connected to the movies.
May 22, 2017 1:54 pm Conor, not offended by the ripping on Reno but Reno isn't just the poor man's Vegas anymore (Though the slogan of "what happens in Vegas, is cheaper in Reno" still applies). We are actually a self sustaining economy now with great places to do, a heck of a nightlife for young people. We're actually one of the fastest growing cities in the US and we are ranked as one of the top places to live for Mellenials, it's also beautiful in south and west Reno. Doesn't look like Vegas at all, snow capped mountains, lots of hiking, green hills everywhere. I'd invite you to come down, I'll show you around.
May 17, 2017 12:50 am I want to dive into that whole "Evil" conversation. I tend to think of evil as a description of an action more than a person. Most criminals and therefore villains are capable of evil acts, but are really suffering from some type of psychological or behavioral disorder whether it's psychopathy, or sociopathy.
May 2, 2017 2:57 pm I was actually thinking of writing a comic book about a guy who does a podcast about DnD so this was awesome. Love the talksplodes always and this one was super informative about the weirdness of life and comic books.
April 23, 2017 9:18 pm I like this comment. For me Marvel is still producing more comics I want to read every month than any other company
April 10, 2017 12:20 am KidDynamo: My issue with Marvel is in their attempt to be subversive and different they are doing neither. They are just making themselves feel good but making no real waves. I'm waiting for Marvel to surprise me and other than Nick Spencer they aren't. But lets be real Marvel is still pumping out about 5-7 must read books every single month. To me that's better than DC and about equal to Image.
January 27, 2017 12:00 am Conner, I can't tell how much you disliked it, can you rate it from a scale of 1 being Electro to 10 being Jack Kirby's Fourth World
January 8, 2017 8:56 pm High School Teacher here, The youngifying has it's place for sure. My students love Miles Morales, and The new young Cyclops. They are huge on the CW shows. The ones that are big comic book readers are still into the traditional big time heroes. They don't know much about Champions yet, what I will say though is it's just as many girls as boys and people of color as there are white boys and I think more than anything that's what this is all about. That said I absolutely love Nick Spencer and Sam Cap.
December 5, 2016 5:59 pm Other than the children I think i'm living the same life as Josh, I moved from an urban area to an extremely rural gun toting one, I read humorous comics to lighten up my fear of the current political climate. I very much enjoyed Sam Wilson and Mockingbird until one got cancelled and the other got ripped apart by events.
