Re: What comics are you reading now?
I just finished Walt Simonsons Thor run. Hadn’t ever read any Thor before and thought it was excellent. Some fantastic moments throughout, and a very compelling Asgard. I never found the Asgard or side characters in the movies(Thor 1 and 2) to be that interesting. Are any of the Vol 1. Thor stories ...

Re: Archer & Armstrong #21 Discussion
They must have had a blast writing and drawing this issue. The celeb cameos were great. Also, I don't know whether they were direct influences, but there are several other works of fiction that this reminds me of greatly. First, American Gods. The gods in that book were stronger or weaker depending ...

Re: Valiant Video Games
I'm a huge fan of open world RPGs(The Witcher, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, etc.) so anything along those lines would be a dream. X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Shadowman, A&A, Eternal Warrior... They all could make phenomenal games, with a decent story and some good mechanics. I don't even think it wo...

X-O Manowar
So I'm on Unity #2, and I must say I really like the direction XO has gone. It's been a while since I read the original XO, but I feel like the fact that these nations are terrified of him and taking action against him makes sense. Not just evil societies with a private desire for power, but real pe...

Holy smokes! I take back anything bad I said about Nord. A million miles ahead of Ming Doyle. Just finished Quantum and Woody 1-8. Fowler was fantastic. Asmus and Fowler was possibly my favorite team for that brief moment, but Doyle... Hooboy. Like a Deviantart fan comic. Just bad. Here's a question...

Re: Cary Nord
And to be fair, I think you're comparing cover art with interior art. Cover art gets more effort and has a lot more space for detail. Yeah, the classic picture was just the best I could find on google. And yes, The legend of Shanhara was beautifully done. So I don't mean to dog on it totally. It ju...

I'm late to the game, currently reading X-O Manowar #14. Nord is in no way a bad artist, but seems just average. I'm not inspired or wow-ed by anything yet. I love the story. The Vine are a great update to the Spider aliens, and loam has had some great moments. But the art still holds me back from t...

Batman: War Games
Not sure how many people have read this. I'm only in Act 2, so no spoilers. But a few questions to those who might know: Why does it seem like Batman is new to Gotham. One reporter keeps saying things like "He's real!", etc. Shouldn't Batman be well known by this time? Also, there seems to...

Re: ARCHER & ARMSTRONG 5 Discussion
I also like the "force of nature" concept too! This has been my least favorite book out of the bunch but its not a bad book though. The one thing I do not like is the boxes explaining fighting techniques all the time. I think we covered that in the 1st issue. We know Archer is a master of...

Re: Shadowman #2
I was thinking more of matter and anti-matter, but with energy. I guess I was picturing "death energy" as building up during the life of an individual (or plant, whatever)... but building up in an "anti-life" realm. So, as someone lives, grows, gets older in "the world outs...

Re: Shadowman #2
Necromancy has to do with the dead, not the living. I know. Like I said, there's a reason (actually, several, but they dovetail together) why it's called that. But that's probably the sort of thing best revealed in the book, rather than a message board. But I can tell you it's not because I don't k...

I REALLY like the analogy to computer programming. Yes, it is possible to program in zeroes and ones, but it's much more efficient to program in a language. Different languages have pros and cons, depending on what you're trying to do, but ultimately, they all "sit on top" of the same zer...

I like it generally, but I feel it's a tad thin story-wise. No real explanation of the Shadowman Loa itself. If we hadnt had v1, I'd be more confused.
