August 19, 2011 11:21 pm I haven't read one of Marvels mega-events since Secret Invasion. I have not regretted this decision for a second. The reviews I hear about them have convinced me that I am saving my precious money.

August 19, 2011 3:19 pm Seriously. No mas.

August 18, 2011 9:36 pm Its okay. I am a notorious joke killer. I have an odd sense of humor that is hyper refined in some areas and tone-deaf in others.

August 18, 2011 7:23 pm Its one of the things I like about manga in general. Most of their books have endings. It allows... resolution. Meaningful emotional impact.

August 18, 2011 6:26 pm Normal is relative. In and of itself a willingness to read, even for purely enetertainment purposes is somewhat odd. I am talking about the people who are way out on the bell curve. For whom comics, movies, geekdom and their sundry paraphenalia are a religion. You just cannot teach a hardened zealot, regardless of what manner she or he is zealous.

August 18, 2011 5:39 pm Oh, how often have we done this dance? Normal people: why is the sky falling because a new piece of fiction is being created? Other people: *insane gibberish*. We cannot change them... only they can change them.

August 18, 2011 1:03 am If I had half the talent Gabe has I'd still be one of the ten best artists in comics.

August 17, 2011 10:35 pm Woof. Is this another event? Marvel is really driving me away with these events. Every time one starts I get closer to dropping more of their titles.

August 13, 2011 10:38 am It is worth considering that Darabont might have actually been doing a poor job on the show. I liked season 1, it was good TV overall. It was incredibly uneven though, with some episodes being the epitome of excellence in television and others being... considerably less than perfect. I will keep an open mind in the upcoming season, but I make no assumption as to its quality based on Darabont's involvement.

August 12, 2011 2:49 pm Jim linked an article yesterday which may or may not have any credibility. The guy who does Sons of Anarchy complained that AMC was cutting a lot of its high paid staff in order to afford the demands of the Mad Men producers and whatnot. Sounds like a play for attention, but also may have some plausible elements.
