  1. I don't have time to listen to the podcast today due to school work, but based on the little comment about 'I Am the Night', I hope to death that it's given a low score. I find it to be one of the most overrated episodes with an irrational Batman characterization, tons of pretentious and awkward dialogue, and a conflict that has absolutely no interest.

    highly disagree. 'I Am The Night' is one of the highlights of the series, and easily an 8/10.

  2. holy shit they got rid of all the episode cards for the episodes too ? I contributed to a couple of the Batman and Superman wiki's so i am kind of pissed about that. I stopped contributing to wikipedia after i worked really hard on the Deftones page just to have it all deleted about 2 days later, and this only further cements my problems with the site.

  3. just to clairify since you guys keep mentioning it, the book in question with Jason Todd, Donna Troy, and Ryan Choi visiting different universes is called COUNTDOWN PRESENTS THE SEARCH FOR RAY PALMER not COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE. COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE is actually a book about characters from 52 including Adam Strange, Starfire, and Animal Man and what they have been up to post-52.

  4. I am assuming the Vertigo creator you are referring to is Brian Wood ? I met him at the MoCCa Fest this year and i wouldn't say he was a dick but he did seem kind of shy. He signed my book and DMZ poster and thanked me for reading it so I guess that's all you can really ask for. I just found it unusual that at an event which was all about getting people acquainted with you and your work on a more personal level, he seemed kind of invisible and didn't seem very intrested in meeting anyone at all (which is kind of the inverse of any other creator i have met both indie and mainstream) but i guess for some people this kind of stuff just isn't their bag and they would just rather let their work speak for itself.

  5. on a completly unrelated note, Mike you forgot to mention TMNT came out on DVD today when you were mentioning this week's DVD releases.

    Did it?! Shit! The website I glean new releases from didn't list it. Damn. If I remember, I'll mention it in episode 135.

    cool. just thought it was odd it wasn't mentioned. the dvd is great as well and i thought it could use the bit of extra promotion.

  6. out of curiosity how do these "Is It Wednesday Yet?" segments work ? Do you guys just review books that various companys send you or on occasion do you also highlight books you like and would like people to read, do you take suggestions, etc.

  7. Malpractice:For people your age, Malpractice, all you know is the show post-season 10. That's not to say you haven't seen pre-season 10 episodes, but you grew up with the post-10 shows so that's your golden era (so to speak). I've honestly heard people under 21 (some as old as 25) claim pre-season 10 episodes are "boring," "stupid" and "slow."

    that's not true at all. I have been watching The Simpsons since i was an infant with The Tracy Ullman shorts and i kind of grew up as the show grew up and i kind of view the show (as pathetic as it sounds) as almost a parental figure. My favorite season is Season 3 when Al Jean and Mike Reiss were at the top of their game and i feel the show has never again reached the greatness of this season (Josh Weinstein and Bill Oakley run came close though). That being said it dosen't mean i don't love seasons 1-10 and even have found some gems in later seasons. Also i am 21 and almost all friends my age that are fans of the show all feel seasons 1-10 are the best of the show and i have found very few people who enjoy episodes post season 11-12.

    Oh yea and as i said in a different thread, The Simpsons Movie was excellent. I've already seen it twice.
