Most of my friends know what a big fan I am of the animated incarnation(s) of The Question (yes, even his minimal appearances in Brave and the Bold), so I recently received some trades for my birthday.
So after many years of consideration, I've decided to start purchasing trades and comics of...
Here's a secret: I've been playing for the past two years. I run a blog about it. It's at http://mygirlfriendisadm.wordpress.com
I also organize a semi-regular event called POLYHEDRAL where we stuff people into bars, give them alcohol and make them roll dice. Our collaborators live in the...
The vampire teen romance novel Twilight has as you know, been an international hit and sells like pancakes.
In the Philippines, the massive shipments are so massive they've attracted the attention of a local customs official.
The examiner decreed, based on a draconian interpretation of...
Nintendo DS
Like Columbus and America, I have found the Nintendo DS rather late.
I've been stealing it from my girlfriend since late last year, and it makes up for the fact that I have an obsolete PC, a broken PS2 and a brother who moved out with the XBox I paid half for.
It's the...
...I was going to call it The Rom-Com Thread or something with the word Thread in the title, but I think we have enough of that, don't you think?
Anyway, I just wanted to say that on a gut level, I firmly believe that the rom-com, or romantic comedy, is the most unevolved film genre ever. The...
This round is moderated by Langsta, winner of the last round which was "Superman."
That is all. For this round, Langsta has declared:
FANTASTIC FOUR
No medium specified.
Langsta declares that you must cast:
Reed Richards, MISTER FANTASTIC
Susan Storm, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN
Benjamin Grimm, THE...
According to MTV's Splash Page, Bendis confirmed at NYCC that Powers, his creator-owned series about homicide detectives in a superpowered city, is coming to TV by way of The FX Channel, after a long development hell directed towards putting the comic on the big screen.
Discuss.
Also...
Did anybody follow this series?
It's already been cancelled, but it's basically a really messy --- and I say that as both praise and criticism --- book about a prodigal son who returns to the family business of pest control, Six Feet Under but with scary cockroaches rather than bizarre deaths...
So apparently, the whole Barack Obama appearing in Amazing Spider-Man, as well as being on the cover business has drawn some ire from Erik Larsen, former Image President and creator of Savage Dragon.
Fanboys have been complaining that Marvel essentially plagiarized Erik Larsen. Larsen...
I have plans for Dreamcasting.
There have been false starts for it I know.
People have talked about how we've hit the bottom of the barrel, how interest has waned, how the rules and voting have skewed badly to discourage participation from new hands and all that.
But I already drafted...
I'm pretty sure E started a thread about podcasts before, but I can't seem to find it.
Anyway, I jus wanted to ask if anyone here subscribes to any podcasts, or at the very least, checks on a particular podcaster's episodes every now and then.
I've been following Fanboy Radio and Word Balloon...
I'm curious to know what blogs and feeds people actively follow here.
I currently use Pageflakes, which is similar to iGoogle (is it still around, I haven't checked in two years) and Bloglines in that it allows you to plug numerous feeds onto a single page for viewing convenience. You can...
I've been recently trying to catch up on the Marvel Universe --- though I can't for the life of me figure out why my interest has been renewed --- so I just want to ask everyone what their favorite Marvel Comic is now.
Pick only one.
Okay, fine, you can get away with two but no more...
Here in the future, it is already the year 2009. We're celebrating at my place by taking the new jet pack out for a spin!
Happy New Year, everyone.
Feel free to use this thread to post New Year's resolutions, predictions and personal hopes for the year 2009!
So I was re-reading my old Ultimate Spider-Man comics, the ones today's Bendis haters have now retroactively deemed as suck, and reading the Return of the Goblin arc, I came across one of the bits that has mystified me:
"Cellar door."
It's a line that keeps showing up when we readers get a...
First: This is not a thread designed to imply that Obama's term is the dawn of a new paradise or whatever... or exploring the political implications his term will have for the industry itself.
Second: This is a thread exploring what implications a new political zeitgeist has for comics...
If Moonie can have a thread about The Beatles, then I can have a thread about that great fellow known as David Bowie. David Bowie is sex incarnate, and I have proof:

I'm currently listening to Pin Ups, the last album he did with the Spiders of Mars, which consists entirely of...
A thread about that guy who writes lots of books that almost but never get turned into movies, all about futurey, internetty stuff that geeks obsess over where people dress like in The Matrix... William Gibson.
I've been following his work on and off since I was a kid, but I just heard he...
I've been so stuck juggling concepts of eschatology, political optimism, centennial zeitgeist, environmentalist ideology, and anthropocentric nihilism in developing the Planeteers concept that I've been working on and off for weeks now that I've taken to revisiting more old cartoons.
And I...
