drq, this made my day...and it's not even 10am! Highlights: -In conclusion, I hate Rob Liefeld and he should be thrown in a well. (still thirty more pieces of "art" to go!) -it's supposed to excuse the fact that he's a lickshit with the artistic ability of 2 girls with 1 cup. In the big finale, Bloodwulf shoots the boss in the head one time (ka-blam) and manages enough force to sever the head completely from the body and still be accurate enough to pop out the guy's eyeball. Thank goodness Bloodwulf shot him in the neck hard enough to break the spine off a foot below impact and spill the body's supply of stringy goop. And look, even the fat guy is covered in pouches. -Rob Liefeld likes to draw lines all over his characters. So when he gets a chance to draw Spider-Man, a super hero with lines all over his costume, what does he do? He adds metallic reflections to his head and shoulders (the same reflections as Juggernaut's helmet, so mystic metal and cloth reflect light in the same way), cross-hatches his boots, and colors his belt a different color so he doesn't have to draw on it. -In this issue of Youngblood, the team jumps out of a helicopter to infiltrate an oh son of a bitch just quit it -No one in Rob Liefeld’s world ever just stands like a normal fucking human being. Brilliance

Cough cough!

The movie is called: The Last Man on Earth. The rest is internal monologue. Problem solved. It's a movie. An internal monologue doesn't give you the emotional pull that actually seeing him lose his whole world does. I'm hoping it's done in flashbacks. If you watch Last Man on Earth (the Vincent Price version and still the best adaptation to date) then you will see the effectiveness of internal monologue. It captures the loneliness, depression and alcoholic angst of the novel. I wished they just advertised this as a remake of Omega Man. That's what it looks like to me... Are you more upset that it's titled after the book or that you think it sucks? For what it is I think it looks alright. To me, there is no such film that could begin to do, what I consider to be the greatest horror novel of all time, justice. This coming from a guy who isn't too fond of vampires. I can tell you that I almost refuse to go and see it in the theaters, not to save the money, but for the sake of sparing the audience my loud groans when that fucking CG tiger runs out and tackles the deer. I will also groan loudly when Will Smith is yelling at the mutants and there's an explosion at just the right time to mask some foul language. I do not look forward to sunglasses and tank tops. I do not look forward to the movie being set in New York because LA is part of the whole fucking point the novel was written in the first fucking place! I hope the premier is hit by a meteor.

No Brian Wood?

Writing wise: -Matt Fraction gets a try -Warren Ellis does brilliant work on his creator-owned stuff and I'll try anything as far as his work for hire goes -Brubaker is pretty dang good too. -Erik Larsen for both art and writing because not only do I like his style, I have an immense amount of respect for the man and what he has done for Image as well as creating one of the most consistently exciting books of the past decade and a half (not to mention his huge Kirby influence) -Kirkman gets blind tries too. -Alan Moore gets a shot no matter what. -Marv Wolfman, give this man a damn job! Art: Not the biggest art guy (it's secondary to me) but there are a few despite Larsen. -Stejpan Sejic could do no wrong by me. -Michael Lark (gritty and tough) My anti list is relatively well-known but here goes: -I second Mike's Claremont reference. He was good on his first X-run (and I mean "good" not great) but everything else is pure shite -JMS is a ten foot pole writer for me. I steer clear. -Dan Slott.

No, that's my job. Tim's job is to supply Superboyman-Prime jokes. Very true. I'm getting my DC haters mixed up

<shaking fist> Glaaaaaan-CYYYYYY!!! </shaking fist> Don't listen to him, he's only here to bitch about DC books.

Hey and welcome rev_calibos! Check out the Is It Wednesday Yet? segment of the Show and Yoda and I will relate what to read and what not to waste your cash on. Otherwise, I endorse pretty much everything in this thread.

For sure! Even smarter? I'm waiting to hear what you say about it before buying the trade... :laugh:

I thought you were waiting on the trade?

WGA unimpressed with offer. Time taken to review. Looks like it's going for at least another month.

He's Repairman Jack baby! I'd prefer Ryan Reynolds in a good Repairman Jack movie over being Flash in a shit JLA movie any day. I think her acting chops speak for themselves: watch her stunning portrayal of Bette Page maybe NSFW

If this is true then it's just as bad as spaceships. They're giving a back story.

Shouldn't there like, you know, NOT be a military?

I expect they will.

Spaceships? Where did you see those? in the trailer there seems to be a shot of space ships shooting through the sky and something shooting the Brooklyn Bridge (or the Washington Bridge, they're all the same to me). Yes, I'm a bridgist.

If you'd read the book the trailer probably wouldn't interest you... The appearance of what looks like spaceships bugs me to no goddam end!

I have been painfully oblivious. I just listened to the Direktor's Kut episode you guys did and now it's in my next order.
