  1. The Siege of Starro! Part One Great return for the show. Hope the new episodes keep coming for awhile this time.
  2. When are they announcing Howard The Duck?

    Randomness

    I'll alert Werner Herzog.
  4. Ghost Rider 2 (in 3D) is scheduled to come out on February 17, 2012.
  5. Spies (1928) - One of my favorite Fritz Lang films and a great early espionage film. Rudolf Klein-Rogge was awesome as always as the criminal mastermind of the piece. The new score by Donald Sosin is fantastic and perfectly fits the film. Frostbiten (2006) - My favorite horror comedy since Shaun of The Dead. Think 30 Days of Night meets Cabin Fever. Sure, there are a few gags that don't work and a vampire creature that looks straight out of the modern Doctor Who, but I had a lot of fun with it. Eastern Promises (2007) - My brain is still processing how fucking phenominal this film was.
  6. Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb before naptime.
  7. I'm not sure if my mind is blown more by the fact that Arthur is still on TV or that Neil Gaiman is going to be on it. Either way, my mind has been blown.
  8. The documentary is now available for pre-order.
  9. The Superman TAS callback redeems you guys from last week's missed opportunity.
  10. Only if I get to amend my Backwardsville joke to officially making you the mayor.
  11. Oh yeah, this was going to be an "agree to disagree" conversation from the get-go.
  12. Yes. The marriage issue aside, prior to OMD, the Spider-Man titles each had their own individual voice. Amazing Spider-Man was the flagship title that was connected directly to the Marvel U, Sensational told a mix of character pieces and more offbeat stories (not to mention the best Venom story ever written), and Friendly Neighborhood had Peter David's trademark humor while rebuilding his supporting cast. The line was in great shape before Marvel unnecessarily complicated things.
  13. Why not? He got to where he got because his story's been told for 50 years. Why can't there be an adult Spider-Man when there's titles like Ultimate and Marvel Adventures out there with the single Spider-Man everyone apparently wants?
  14. Taking care of his Aunt made Peter an adult. Getting a job when he was a teenager to support himself and his aunt made Peter an adult. Choosing not to kill the man who murdered his girlfriend made Peter an adult. Getting married to the woman he loved despite the risk made Peter an adult. Losing a child made Peter an adult. Taking a job as a teacher rather than spending the rest of his days at the Bugle made Peter an adult. You know what doesn't make Peter an adult? Getting his marriage dissolved by Marvel's Devil analogue so that he can wind up back living at Aunt May's, back working for the Bugle, and back playing out the stories that Joe Quesada read as a kid. Your "too iconic" argument works for characters like Batman and Superman, but to say that a character who has gone from high school to college to graduate school to adulthood shouldn't develop realistically is ridiculous. Being treated realistically isn't against what the character of Spider-Man is; taking ten steps backwards in character development is. And the argument that Peter getting married made him less interesting as opposed to a cliche'd and tired love triangle is one I just don't understand.
  15. If the pages Bleeding Cool has are to be believed, Black Dynamite's soon gonna be hitting the comic scene.
  16. If you want that, there's about thirteen volumes of Essentials you can read.
  17. Rock the fuck on, man. Six of the greatest comics DC has ever published.
  18. The funniest thing out of all of this is that Quesada's efforts have just reinforced that Peter and Mary Jane are supposed to be together, rather than that Peter is meant to be with someone else.
  19. Hah! Revenge for the Back To The Future showings.
