I still pick up Exiles. I like it but I don't think that it's as good as it used to be. The crossover with the 'real' X-Men seemed weirder to me than most of the alternate realities they've been hopping in and out of. I don't follow X-Men right now so seeing Havok with a split personality and...

I was smart/lucky enough to get mine the day that they went on sale. Went to see Kill Bill opening night the day after and there was a sign up saying that they were totally sold out. I paid $25 for my ticket and as I understand it there will be half hour to hour long intermissions between...

You know, I had a buddy who was FURIOUS that Rogue diddn't have super strength, flight, or invulnerability in the first X-Men movie. I explained to him that those weren't Rogue's true mutant powers, and that to add them for the movie, IMO and most likely the filmmakers don't add to the...

Here's my list of comics' worst ideas: Wonder Woman by Byrne--gotta agree with everyone here. There are a few moments when he hits the right chord, but mostly it's missteps. I actually DID like have Hippolyta become the Golden Age Wonder Woman. I had no problem with that at all, but the way...

I personally don't see a need for time to pass for ANY ongoing fictional characters. Why should they? Spider-Man should be older just because *I'm* older? That's not right. The Spider-Man I love is a young guy either still in school or still in his twenties, and there's no reason to change...

I can understand some folks' gripes concerning Marvel's Ultimate line, but when all is said and done, if they hadn't started the Ultimate line I wouldn't be able to read Ultimate Spider-Man each month, and that would be a crying shame. I *like* Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates, but Ultimate...

Oh, man... I couldn't disagree with you more there. I'm sorry you didn't like that period of LSH, but I personally LOVED it. Loved the stories, loved the artwork (especially the nine panel per page layouts), loved being introduced to Jason Pearson's art later on, loved everything... Those...

I fully agree with you on Grant Morrison. Some of his high concept ideas are pretty darned cool, but the execution is nearly ALWAYS lacking in the stuff that I've read. Flex Mentallo is probably the best example of this to my thinking--tones of high-concept, potentially great ideas, but a...

I'm sorry, but that's got to be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. So if you watched a couple bad movies, like say 'Leonard Part Six', or 'Freddy Got Fingered', you'd swear off all movies for the rest of your life? Huh? Or how about this one--"The smell coming from this one...

Juggernaut De-Powered? Hey, I know that this isn't specifically on-topic, but I've just recently picked up an issue of X-Men with Juggernaut as a team member and some mention was made that he isn't as powerful as he used to be. Anybody know what the deal is? I always liked the version of...

Pretty fun episode with he exception of the Green Lantern/Flash stunt at the end. Green Lantern creates constructs out of light and is capable of interplanetary travel all on his own--why exactly does he need Flash's speed? Maybe he just did it to make Flash feel better... I loved that...

I'm currently rereading Bloodstone and Dark Crusade, as I've finally been able to get my hands on Karl Edward Wagner's third Kane book, Darkness Weaves. I'm pretty excited about finally getting to read it. I've had the first two books for ages. KEW's Kane books are a must-read for the...

I've gotta give a 'yawn' to Johns' new Flash storyline myself. It's been, what, three issues or so and Wally's just now put the costume on? I like that the superhero side of the story will involve Captain Cold and the 'other' guy, but it doesn't need to take so long... I really love Johns'...

Great episode! As for Doomsday being intelligent, the last Superman comic I read with him he was fully capable of speech and making plans of his own. I didn't read everything leading up to it but apparently when his resurrection power kicked in after being killed by cosmic baddie Imperiex...

What, you never saw the episode of 'Real Ghostbusters' where the ghostbusting gang got holed up in a town full of feuding vampires and werewolves? Once the monsters started fighting and biting each other they *ALL* became vampire/werewolf hybrids. Can't believe you never saw that one... :)

I rated it a 4 as well. As stated before, the books are good pulp-style fantasy action. If you dig the swords and sorcery genre (as opposed to high fantasy, like LotR) then you'll probably get a real kick out of them. I especially like when Drizzt faces off with Errtu in Crystal Shard...

Thundarr the Barbarian is the 'Best Sci-Fi television series EVAR.' It's a fact.

I'm a big fan of the Lupin the 3rd Sideburn Club Mix album. Fun, funky stuff. Bebop is, of course, some of the best music around, period. Giant Robo has some real nice orchestral stuff and ADV is releasing the soundtrack shortly. For some reason I really like the Heart of Madness song from...

I have WAY too many comics pulled for me right now... Here are my favorites, not in any particular order: Hellboy & Hellboy related books Planetary Astro City Fantastic Four Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimates Tom Strong Promethea LoEG Punisher JSA X-Statix Green Arrow Titles that I'm still getting...
