yay, noone reads this column! by dtpena	Nov 24th, 2008 10:16:45 AM
or maybe only busy people do anyway, Umbrella Academy was pretty good, I'm glad to see the guy is not a douchebag at all (as I had imagined)
Archer and Armstrong by The 76th Cave	Nov 24th, 2008 10:18:32 AM
Has anyone recieved their Archer&Armstrong books yet? I was one of the winners and have yet to get anything in the mail yet...thanks!
Nah... by loodabagel	Nov 24th, 2008 11:08:00 AM
Plenty of people read it, it just doesn't incite the urge to post in the talkback.
BND was a great idea! by Joenathan	Nov 24th, 2008 11:20:52 AM
Peter's deal with Mephisto made total sense! Civil War was great! Bendis, Millar and Quesada are the best thing to happen to comics since computer coloring! That should get things going...
Congratulations to the winners...... by TheWaqman	Nov 24th, 2008 11:52:58 AM
....btw did James McAvoy officially turn down The Hobbit? What a cunt. He can come in shite like Narnia and Wanted yet turn down this!!
Batman est mort! by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 24th, 2008 12:52:58 PM
Vive le Batman!
J.J by Joenathan	Nov 24th, 2008 01:05:34 PM
I was goofing about all of that EXCEPT the Bendis, Millar, Quesada part. This is Marvel's new golden era and it is in large part due to those three.
Unbrella Academy was the best thing I read in years by IndustryKiller!	Nov 24th, 2008 03:30:34 PM
No joke. No matter what you think of My Chemical Romance if you pass up UA because of that you are the only person losing. it has a distinct voice and strikes a perfect balance between being deconstructionist but also old school fun, which is something no one outside of maybe Geoff Johns is doing in the mainstream. It's a flat out fantastic book and I would love to see Way take on someone like Spider Man in the future. His take on superheroes is sweet and fun without being at all precious and, thank god, he actually seems to know how to write interesting threats to his heroes. Consider me in the fan column.
Ok so Joenathan is trolling by IndustryKiller!	Nov 24th, 2008 03:36:56 PM
no one is that stupid.
Umbrella Academy...negative view by speed	Nov 24th, 2008 05:09:21 PM
I wasted not only the price of the book but the shipping costs from amazon on that ridiculous piece of dribble. Deconstructionist is a euphemism for scatterbrained pile of unfunny, just plain stupid ideas. But my shit is another man's chocolate so... be careful. I had never heard of My chemical Romance song before I got this comic. So no bias there. THen I checked em out on Youtube...great film clip for that one song.
Hey cool by Rickmans Voice	Nov 24th, 2008 05:12:40 PM
I won one of the book/poster sets. The trailer made it look very good, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for the contest, guys.
"I know you only have a few minutes... by nofate	Nov 24th, 2008 06:42:11 PM
but please answer my pretentious questions anyway?
Umbrella Academy by Laserhead	Nov 25th, 2008 07:31:05 AM
It was okay, but nothing great, at all, I thought. A basic reunion-story featuring the X-Men for goths.
Please by Joenathan	Nov 25th, 2008 09:00:41 AM
If you think Marvel ISN'T firing on all cylinders as far as writing, art and editorial content and delivery is concerned these days, then you, sir, are the fool. You may not like their particular story elements or personal styles, but only a true idiot would try to claim that Marvel isn't currently at the top of their game.
How could you NOT like Umbrella Academy? by Joenathan	Nov 25th, 2008 09:03:03 AM
It was fun and fast and new. Isn't that what you guys constantly claim that you want? Bad taste, bad, bad taste.
Also by Joenathan	Nov 25th, 2008 09:04:39 AM
Umbrella Academy was NOT a Deconstructionalist comic. Also, it mere usage does not convey a negative implication. Please learn what a word means before you try to throw it around as a buzz word, Bill O'Reilly.
re Archer & Armstrong... by KCViking	Nov 25th, 2008 07:44:00 PM
to The 76th Cave-Ambush Bug is aware of the winners not recieving anything yet...he'll let us know as soon as he hears from the Valiant rep.
My John Howe poster arrived today... by Corterville	Nov 26th, 2008 08:56:54 PM
And it looks fantastic! Thanks!
