They have something to hype. Bill Willingham is writing a book for them. And he's got a mystery writing partner.

And I was just speculating on who that partner might be. So I don't see how pointless it is. It's getting people (you and me both) talking about their exciting new project.

My only problem is my idle speculation causing your rather rude response.

Zombipanda, you need learn how to act more civilized in your posting. The unnecessary swearing towards people will not be tolerated.
 
Has anyone read any of the Dark Reign minis coming out? Real quick blurb about my thoughts on them.

Elektra: Really awesome, gorgeous art, and most recently she has to fight Bulls/Hawkeye while drugged up.

Lethal Legion: Surprisingly good, kind of a slow start, the story is told in Tarantino style starting at the end about how this new version of the Legion came to be, and who betrayed them to Osborn. Looking forward to more.

Hawkeye: Fun in kind of a malicious way, it's about Bullseye [not] adjusting to being Hawkeye, he's fighting a bunch of people dressed as Bullseye that are trying to kill him, meanwhile Ben Urich closes in on his secret identity.

Zodiac: Not bad, Zodiac somewhat reminds me of The Joker from TDK, he wants to destroy Osborn because he is a sell out in terms of super-villainy.

The Sinister Spider-Man: It's okay, it's basically a day in the life of Mac Gargan, I did think the ending was clever though.

I agree with all of these. I really enjoy the Elektra one.

The Hood one is probably the closest version of him to his original mini. Complete with storylines from it.

I also am enjoying both "Dark" versions of the Ms.Marvel and Wolverine.

I like how Daken is starting a rival with Bullseye.



And this should be in the Dark Reign thread I created!

I have downloaded a mini-series crossover between the Transformers and G.I. Joe drawn by Pat Lee which takes place during World War II. I expect it to be the greatest thing ever.
 
I finished The Sword TPBs and they are quite good. It's a very enjoyable story and the art is great.

I assume that there'll be 4 trades in total?


When I get the chance, I'll check out Ultra and Girls, as well.

I rarely read the column but this stood out, in light of the recent large price increases:

I often find that the word "collectability" takes on a very bad stigma, and I think a lot of that has to do with how we went through this very, very bad period in the early to mid '90s where it was all about, "Hey, I'm going to keep this comic and put my kid through college with it someday," instead of an affection for the material and the medium. It was all about money and not the love of comics. Luckily for us, most of those speculators left long ago.

Yeah, now they are running the company.

I mean, seriously, what a dip-****ted thing to say. I understand that the goal of a company is to make money, but to raise prices in a down economy, alienating the fans you do have and ensuring that no new ones will take their place, and turn around and make a comment like that is stupid.

The first Dreamwave Gi Joe/transformers crossover. I had the first issue of that somewhere. It was cool. Dunno how the rest of the mini turned out.

It was wicked just because Jae Lee drew badass WWII Transformers.
