A seller can charge whatever he wants for shipping, IMO, but you don't have to bid. S&H can be costly if the seller chooses to place a value on his time or reimburse himslef for boxes, packing, gas, etc. I hate when you pay a premium and you recieve a crappy box with used materials and the cost on ...

I have to echo the sentiments of many who have posted. The story's central theme is great but the last arc was weak. I also felt that it lost something without Robinson doing the interiors. the artist who did them is way more talented than me, just not as good as Robinson. I liked the last isue ...

I saw the crumbs myself and, being obese, identified them as potato chip crumbs. I also think there were short, curly hairs in the bag.

I don't think it will happen. DC is really convoluting things so that Kingdom Come will be in continuity. Bruce Wayne is a huge part of that. They just did in Aquaman/Dweller in the Depths and rebooted the Manhunter along with killing a Flash.

I thought it was interesting. A lot more prose than I would normally like. I think that this serves as a jumping off point where Moore can write several LoEG series from many eras and have the requisite background knowledge out there. That way he can avoid wasting whole issues on exposition. It's a ...

I think the problem with the book was that they had a hard time re-establishing the dormant heroes who had been missing for 60 + years. They also needed to set up a continuity which obliterated the Alan Moore Terra Obscura Universe.

It did come off as kind of hokey but I think that they'll get ...

I really enjoyed Rout 666. I wish that they'd finish the story somehow...

I had heard they were doing a movie..I thought that might get Cassie Starkweather's rights out of limbo
