    Movies You Went to in 2011

    2011 is definitely a record year for me: 67 times at the movies, almost half of which were in the summer. This year's summer movies were a million times better than the last two years and possibly even better than 2008 which was pretty incredible. This year was also the most times I saw movies...

    "Batwing (2011 Ongoing)" Series Talkback (Spoilers)

    Batwing was something I was totally disinterested in when I first saw it announced. Then when more and more info came out and some of the later covers were revealed, it looked better and better. Judd Winick is hit and miss for me a lot of the time, but I bought this one digitally, and it was...

    "Detective Comics (2011 Ongoing)" Series Talkback (Spoilers)

    I liked this a lot more than JL #1. I've been enjoying Tony Daniel's run on Batman before the relaunch so I was obviously going to pick this one up and because it's Detective Comics, which I usually get anyway, but I was totally blown away by this #1.Totally awesome in every sense of the word...

    "Justice League (2011 Ongoing)" Series Talkback (Spoilers)

    I liked it, but it could have been better, especially considering how great Geoff Johns is as a writer. It felt way too short, though, and I think that is the only real problem. I was hoping that with this relaunch they would perhaps go back to the format of at least trying to tell a somewhat...

    "The Amazing Spider-Man" Pre-Release Discussion, Part 4 (Spoilers)

    Obviously, the casting is the major difference. I didn't think that was an issue in describing differences between remakes/reboots. That would be like me comparing Psycho to its remake, stating there is virtually no distinction in the remake to distinguish itself, and then someone points out...

    "The Amazing Spider-Man" Pre-Release Discussion, Part 4 (Spoilers)

    Honestly, I'm not impressed. I'm open to the idea of change and freshening things up, but I think this is the wrong direction. The biggest problem overall is that from this trailer, there appears to be ZERO distinction between this "reboot" and the original 2002 film. What exactly is different...

    Digital Sales

    I'm really enjoying these sales. Basically, they're getting me into stuff I never bothered to look into before. I took advantage of the Wonder Woman one from last week or so and got hooked on George Perez's run on the series and even the more recent volume. Perez's first arc on Wonder Woman...

    "Green Lantern" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Oh come on. That's a bit of a premature statement, don't you think? Why don't we at least wait to see how much its total gross is before we wait for a sequel call. And besides, we have no idea how this will do in the foreign markets which usually makes more money than on the domestic side. It...

    "Green Lantern" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Hey, I was wondering what happened to that. And also, I had no idea you were an elitist movie critic Lord Dalek. ;) Can't we all just play nice and seriously debate this movie without falling into "it sucks" or "it's idiotic"? I'm personally disgusted by the way a lot of the professional film...

    "DC Comics: The New 52" General News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I mean, is the redesign for Superman that radical? It's not that different than what he had before and I kind of like it. I'll agree with you that the Supergirl redesign is terrible, but Superman looks pretty cool. He doesn't need the red underwear, as much as I love the classic look. I'm...

    The "So What Have You Read Lately?" Thread

    Anyone else reading the new "Hellraiser" series from Boom written by original author Clive Barker? The first issue was pretty good. I'm definitely going to continue on with this. It features a starring role for Pinhead and actually attempts to develop him as a character. And it also features the...

    "DC Comics: The New 52" General News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Not as super-excited about today's announcements as I have been on previous ones, but that's to be expected. We're finally winding down now. Out of these, I'm very excited for "All Star Western" featuring Jonah Hex and hopefully some spotlight on the other great DC western heroes. I've read some...

    "DC Comics: The New 52" General News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    What a relief! When leaks for Legion Lost were announced a while back, I feared for the regular Legion title, but thankfully it and Levitz will be back. That's by far one of my favorite titles. I will definitely continue to get that and I am very excited for Hawk and Dove, despite Hawk's ugly...

    "DC Comics: The New 52" General News and Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Very excited for the horror books and I will try and get most of them especially Swamp Thing, JL Dark, Demon Knights, and Voodoo. I might get the others but I'm not sure yet. I'm definitely going to have to cut back on Bat-family titles though. Unless Batman and Robin turns out to be amazing, I...
