And I just realized this post is a year and a day since the last one. We suck.

Snell, feel free to swipe it -- attribution would be nice but not required! I was kinda proud of that one myself. :)

About time you guys started posting again. :-)

In the interest of full disclosure, I fully plan on swiping the term "Bendisy Avengerism" in the near future.

You read comics now? Huh.

Hey, he was just ten years or so early getting ready for Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Nice eye shadow, General. Squawk all you want about "alpha channels" - that's a special kind of fruity you're rockin' there.

Yeah, sorry Allen, It's no Bite Club, but I don't get "scratchy" either.

And quit hogging the glue.

I think one of these days I need to stop huffing glue at work
No, keep that up. You'll need it to understand the writing.

His line might be a little heavy in places (noticeably the hand in the foreground), but sketchy/scratchy? I don't see it, even when I look at the full size version.

So between you and me, it is only you.

No New York City? No Manhattan at all? You know, they used to have their own Mutant neighbourhood, from Houston to 14th Streets, with crime, poverty and super-powered worm creatures living in the sewer fighting social services.

OK, most of Marvel NYC isn't that interesting, just ubiquitous; but I think Mutant Town is worth an honourable mention, at least.

Hey great review, I think I probably agree with everything you said. Nolan and Bale are (as usual) both brilliant.
On a lighter note, here's a less umm "polished" review of the film to contrast with this one: http://www.voont.com/baron_fil...
Wow.

i still wish Katie Holmes had stayed on board as Rachel Dawes for the Dark Knight; it was like the time spent getting familiar with her character in Batman Begins was wasted...

Nice shirt! I've decided I need to get more comics-related shirts like that. I'm not flying my comic-geek flag high enough.

(A guy I work with has that "bacon is a vegetable" on a t-shirt.)

Also, nice facial hair! I'm pretty sure that's the fullest I've ever seen a goatee on you. Lookin' sharp, bro!

Re: RIP Michael Turner (1971-2008)

Tim — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:37:50 -0000

I've seen a ton of posts on a lot of different bulletin boards. Thankfully not that many, but sadly more than one post started off by saying, "I never really cared for his work, but..." (To be fair, I didn't see a single post that managed to work in "even though he would never draw feet...")

Turner died after a lengthy battle with cancer. He may very well have lived the last seven or eight years of his life with some tiny part of his brain concerned for your personal opinion of his work. But I haven't.

Believe it or not, folks, it's possible to send your sympathy to his friends, family, and fans without somehow cheapening it with One Last Critique.

Thank you and good night. We're done here.

Okay, as a journalist, I submit the following:

"Say, Chief! How 'bout a raise?"
"You stupid bastard ass! You should have gone to trade school!"

I hope I'm allowed to cuss over here. They don't let me drop bastard asses on my company blog.

And by "sooooo much better", I mean "a lot worse".

John Byrne already beat you to it, Grant Morrison.

And it was sooooo much better than what you're tinkering with.

If you're not reading Fell, could you at least read the last sentence of the post?

"And if you're reading this blog and not reading Fell, I don't really know what to do with you."

It's a good thing you're the Stan Lee of this blog, or I'd really be playing rough.

Re: My God, Has It Been That Long?

Allen — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:59:00 -0000

...so, erm, I've never yet read an issue of Fell. What's my punishment, then?

It's not for lack of wanting to read it... just haven't done so yet.

I sometimes think his biggest crime in comics was being John Buscema's brother. He surely didn't get much slack.
