Re: New Marvels on January 21

By the way, since we're doing "things we'd been meaning to say for a while" -- what's with everyone's "oh hey here's the list of comics I'm going to buy this week" posts? Do any of you really think that the other board members are dying of curiosity about your purchase habits? I...

Re: New Marvels on January 21

Ummm... replace "Warren Ellis" with "Garth Ennis". It was way too early when I wrote that. (And damn these Brits and their similar E-double-consonant-I-S last names.)

Re: "Ooooh, do you have the Spider-Man comic with Obama in it?"

Rather than chastise your friends, maybe you could suggest something else they might like to check out while they're in there? I make recommendations all the time to my comics-reading friends, and take theirs in return. But I'm not going to be "that guy" to people who don't care about com...

"Ooooh, do you have the Spider-Man comic with Obama in it?"

Am I the only one who gets supremely annoyed with stuff like this? This is an excerpt from an e-mail thread I've had going all day where I've been chastising my non-comic-reading friends who are calling comic shops all over the place trying to snag a copy: I went to my comic shop this morning, worri...

Re: If you were writing your own comic.....

I'd reunite the "Fall of the Mutants"-era X-Men, a team for whom I have great affection (I went from "into comics" to "reeeeeally into comics" around FotM and must've reread that story about a million times as a kid): Storm Wolverine Colossus Rogue Havok Dazzler Psylock...
