I've got mixed feelings about this. Like you, I agree that Marvel has *plenty* of superfluous titles at the moment. I don't care much for Marvel Zombies, or Marvel Apes, or stuff like The Pet Avengers. All of that just dilutes the brand; even when they're creatively written, it's unlikely to win...

YES! It's about time. I'll reserve my speculation until the issue hits the stands. But this definitely seems to be a promising finale, indeed.

Honestly, that seems less of a testament to consumers' gullibility than it is proof of Disney's successful branding as a "family oriented" studio. However, the Mouse can afford to take a "live and let live" stance with Pulp Fiction, Dogma, etc. because the content is inherently produced for...

Well, this is certainly shocking... I go away for a week, and when I get back, the site has a completely different name, and Marvel is on its way to becoming a Disney entity. It’s understandable to have a negative gut reaction, but let’s think about this reasonably: Disney and Marvel have...

It's already Friday's birthday, on this side of the world. Greetings, man!

:lol: Hilarious, but oh so wrong!

:shock: :( :| :) :o :lol: Oh ye of little faith! But the round's all yours, Bluebeast. Congrats to all who participated.

With all due respect to you both, I think harping on Loeb misses the larger problem. It's the superhero hegemony itself that gives comics a negative reputation as a medium, regardless of the artistic merits of the work produced. The Loebs and the Liefelds just make the situation more difficult...

Okay, i'm sold on this. What's another month of credit card debt in exchange for some classically styled pulp mystery... right?

ARGH! I'm definitely interested in reading this, but I really shouldn't be adding more titles to my "to buy" list. *contemplates looking for a T0rr3nt, at least until I can save up enough to order the actual books*

This has been an impressive round, so far. I'm really liking Disorder's cast. Jake Gyllenhaal was actually my first pick, but I decided to go with a slightly older version of Dick, just so that I could cast a Damian who's in his mid teens, and still retain the age gap between the new...

Well played, Zombipanda! I really wish I'd built a cast around Jude Law as Dick/Batman. Excellent choice, man. Haven't seen The Wire, so I can't really comment on your pick for Gordon. But I find it absolutely hilarious that you're willing to cast him, then recommend Charlize Theron (who...

I'm going to blow my own horn very shortly, so please indulge me. I've been on a prolonged hiatus from the board, and something major happened during this period: I had a short story published in the Philippine Speculative Fiction IV anthology. I'm about to go over the terms of the contract...

Batman and Robin adapted for the screen by Rian Johnson (Brick; The Brothers Bloom) based on the stories by Grant Morrison Starring... Michael C. Hall as Batman/Dick Grayson Dick Grayson's Batman is ultimately just a role he's playing. He's not *really* Batman; it's a persona he will...

Oh, snap! I almost forgot about Elysium. I still quite like the idea. And i'm pretty sure it would draw attention from the same kind of viewers who follow True Blood (which hadn't aired yet, when I first posted this.)

Indeed! I'd add that to my pull list, no questions asked, with either of our proposed creative teams. But the mini would need to run at least eight issues to allow each individual character on both sides of the war to really matter. The funny thing about actual continuity is that there's...

Sweet! I, for one, look forward to reading it. Niiiice. This was also the direction I *hoped* Heroes would be moving towards, in Season 2. Oh well. Honestly, even if Marvel editorial would prefer to just skirt the issue of mutants' macro effects on society, there are *still* plenty of examples...

Zombipanda hit the nail right on the head! And it's precisely crucial to explore this possibility in the Ultimate universe, because Decimation effectively ruined the chance to explore the idea further in the mainstream MU continuity (at least until M Day is reversed, though i'm actually...

Being on this site reminds me how much I of my budget inevitably goes towards comics. Le sigh. DC Air #12 [tradewait] Batgirl Vol 3 #1 Ex Machina #44 [tradewait] Filthy Rich HC Jack Of Fables #37 ["obtaining a copy"] Wednesday Comics #7 Wonder Woman Amazons Attack TP [about ****ing time!]...

Damn! Wish I'd checked back sooner. I would have loved to join this round, in particular. Oh well. I might just come up with a cast for ****s and giggles anyway, because it's just so fun, with a set of characters like this.
