Re: ComicList News - Tor and Dabel Brothers Announce Wheel of Time Comics Schedule

Man in black — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:47:54 -0000

When are these comics supposed to be released? I haven't been able to get a straight answer from anyone or anywhere for months. Are we going to have to wait three more years like we did for New Spring? Dabel bros. website is perennially under construction and whenever I try to contact them it says undeliverable mail. I just want to know what the hell is going on. I've already preordered the first four issues soon to be five, and not one has arrived yet. I will never buy a Dabel bros. book again if they keep this crap up.

Irredeemable #4: the series continues to be excellent. You must buy it and read it.

Ha! I didnt notice the names! Nice call!

This was just such an original piece of work. I was very impressed for an opening issue.

Chew #1 was frakkin' fantastic. I loved it and read it a few times to pick up more details. Like how everyone has a food last name? (Colby, Savoy). And there's a lot of understated humor, too. The page where his brother freaks out on TV is classic.

My child loves reading Nancy Drew books. I'm thinking maybe I should take a look to see what all the fuss is about. I wish more kids would read books and not pay so much time playing video games.

The pictures look great but I would love to see what the packaging will like as well. I will brave the smelly lines to get the coated version.

Yes, that is #1 of 4. I'm still trying to see if I have pictures of the covers from the first time #1 and #2 were solicited.

Could a comic book get any hotter?
Noted upon Closer examination of the cover, that this is #1 of 4. Is that right?

Re: ComicList - TFAW Reviews The New Star Trek Movie

ComicList — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:18:14 -0000

I think many, if not most, of the Star Trek movies spent too much time
trying to please someone- the fan base, the actors, continuity- and
not enough time trying to be great movies. To me, ST II was the best
story and contained the best acting, and was the most authentic when
it came to the characters. I look forward to viewing the new movie
to see how it ranks to me.

The new Star Trek keeps the audience's attention so much better than the other Star Treks... there is something fundamentally wrong with a movie that feels like a chore to watch (as are so many of the original Star Treks)

Orson Scott Card is a well-documented homophobic bigot. Fair-minded people and Marvel should NOT be giving him any money. (Would you give money to a racist?)

Jesus, they're sullying Ennis' MAX continuity with this crap? Is Quesada out of his damned mind?

I will buy the magazine to give the comic a chance, but honestly what are the odds that a rapper crossover comic about the freaking Punisher written by someone on Amazing Spider-Man will be a respectful and appropriate thing to incorporate MAX characters into?

I was able to pick up one of everything my store had. It seems they didnt have every single FCB though. Owly, Titans are just a couple that I hear was offered elsewhere and not in my store.

I walked out with 10 titles - four were kid friendly. I seem to recall in years past having some 15-20.

My store also had the artist Fernando Ruiz there shortly after I left so the place was a zoo. All in all it was a good trip for me and the offspring.

My closest comic shop is over 50 miles away so getting there on a regular basis is not easy. I do however have a pull list with them. I only wanted one of the free comics this year. They could not hold even that 1 book for a regular customer. I know the idea is to get in new customers but shouldn't a regular customer with an ongoing pull list be able to get 1 free comic even though I couldn't get to the store that day. It actually is a regret on mine that I have never made it too FCBD because of the distance involved. They usually have cool local artists and costumed characters that would be fun to get a picture with.

And to expand on my comment about Diamond's Comic Shop Locator: if search on "Orange Park Florida," it tells me I have to put more information in. If I expand the search term to "Wells Road Orange Park Florida," it finds three shops, none of which are the shop ON Wells Road in Orange Park, Broadsword Comics and Games. Even if I put in the zip code for Broadsword, it won't find it. The Locator is as biased as the Previews Catalog, and it's going to be another nail in the comic industry coffin.

I've seen it both ways. I've had a miserable experience where the admittedly small shop only allowed one comic per person. I felt bad for youngsters/newbies having to make the decision between what you know and already love and what you don't. I haven't gone back to that shop for FCBD, even though it was where until recently I had my pull list and spent a decent amount of money.

The other shop is part of a larger chain and allowed one copy of each book per person. In fact, one year they commented on how shy people were about picking up books. I'm not sure they were aware there were different limits at other stores. I like them, but this year they only picked the bigger titles and it's very no frills approach to the day. Seeing all the pictures and accounts, I feel my corner of DC misses out on all the fun.

I think 1) if a shop is going to put a limit on the number of free comics, they should make that VERY clear, especially if it's a change from years past, and 2) yes, I do want to read Tiny Titans and Owly. I want to read them all. The shop should order plenty of free comics, as they are essentially an advertising expense.

Next year I will probably go to Gainesville instead of Jacksonville.

Re: ComicList - The Two Faces Of Free Comic Book Day 2009

Kevin — Sat, 02 May 2009 20:49:29 -0000

My local comic shop had a limit of 4 per person. I think that is a reasonable limit. Besides, did you really want a copy of Tiny Titans or Owly? Or, are you the jerk that took those from the kid waiting in line behind you?

Re: ComicList - Marvel's Adaptation Of Pride And Prejudice Is A Hit

Critics may agree... but not all the readers do. I am hoping subsequent volumes will be better, but I was singularly unimpressed with the first, to the point of being sorry I purchased two subscriptions. So for any of you who missed out on getting one before they sold out, meet me at eBay very shortly, as I have no desire to hold on to mine.

The artwork is garish, the Bennet sisters look like slutty strippers, the adaptation of the literary element is average at best, and all the wit, natural humour and irony seems to have been left behind. My grade? D-minus

Dana - thanks for the info. I looked through it again and now I'm not sure if McKeever was going for an alpha versus alpha thing or that the large primate was hunting the others or if the others were sort of held captive. McKeever had an interesting little story for sure. Brandon
