  1. Having recently seen Fright Night, I'm puzzled that Tennant is playing Peter Vincent when he's the perfect choice to play Jerry Dandrige.

    The thing about the new Nano I don't get is why someone would pay that much for a postage stamp.

  4. Source Just when I thought I couldn't love this cartoon any more than I do.
  5. DC, you magnificent bastards. You know how to get me to buy Absolutes.
  6. No "I threw a rock at him!" during the "Prophecy" review? I'm disappointed, Mike.

    I love women with colored hair (see: Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind), but I find her just as attractive without the Ramona costuming.
  9. Mark Waid's keynote speech at this past weekend's Harvey Awards apparently caused a bit of a stir. Scott Kurtz recounts what was said and throws in his two cents: Source
  10. Yep, definitely my favorite character too. House is a lucky show in that it has interesting enough characters to sustain it after the medical gimmick has become stale.
  11. That's pretty much what the news implies, as comic shops will get the books a day earlier, giving them more than Wednesday morning to get the books on the shelves.
  12. Source Oh fuck yes. Give me a Damian Batman mini-series by Andy Kubert and I'll give you my money, DC.
  13. If it's in the film, it's up for discussion.
  14. Starting in January 2011, Diamond will deliver comics on Tuesday to be held for sale on Wednesday.
  15. Fright Night - This was just a lot of fun to watch. Roddy McDowall + Chris Sarandon vampire = win.
  16. I only went to Baltimore Comic Con on Saturday this year, but I had just as great a time. Creator wise, I got to talk to Eric Powell about the Goon movie teaser and give Jeff Parker my condolences on the cancellation of another fine Agents of Atlas series. I also got to meet Ben Templesmith, whose picture should be next to the word "cool" in the dictionary. Along with Powell and Templesmith, I consider Gabriel Hardman and Sean Murphy to be doing some of the best art in comics and it was great getting to tell them how much I love their work. I commissioned a sketch of Red Jack, one of my favorite minor villains, from Gabe and it turned out fantastic: I also got an excellent Final Crisis style Darkseid mini-sketch from Dave Wachter, co-creator of the webcomic The Guns of Shadow Valley. The highlight of the con though was getting to meet comics legend Jerry Robinson, probably best known as the creator of The Joker. When I asked if I could get a picture with him, he joked, "No, you're wearing a Spider-Man shirt, that's blasphemy." One of the best experiences I've had meeting a creator, especially a creator of Jerry Robinson's caliber. I missed getting a pre-release copy of Abrams' book on Robinson's career, but I'll definitely be buying one when it comes out. I only went to one panel this year, in which Klaus Janson and Howard Chaykin critiqued pages from art school students who registered to attend a seminar by the pair prior to the panel. I am not a big fan of either creator's artwork, but it was fascinating hearing them discuss what worked and what didn't work in the pages. It really enhanced my understanding of how comic book pages are crafted. Also, Howard Chaykin is a very funny guy. And then there's the requisite con swag, with 50% and 75% off hardcovers: Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn Deluxe Edition HC Doctor Who "Bowties Are Cool" t-shirt Fantastic Four By Waid and Wieringo Vol. 1 HC Fist of Justice t-shirt The Guns of Shadow Valley Convention Preview Edition Heathentown OGN Incredible Hercules: Smash of The Titans HC Seven Soldiers of Victory Vol. 1 HC Superman's Metropolis OGN Supreme Power MAX Vol. 1 and 2 HCs Overall, an absolute blast as always and I can't wait until next year.

  21. If they end the first half with an important cliffhanger, I'll be okay with this.
