AICN COMICS REVIEWS MARTIAN MANHUNTER! STAN LEE MEETS DR. STRANGE! A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET! AND MORE!!!

I hereby claim this tb for the Cogs!!!

Stan Lee IS Dr. Strange. by Read and Shut Up	Oct 18th, 2006 09:20:27 AM
...'nuff said. Now enough with the cameos!
Well, Ambush Bug... by Childe Roland	Oct 18th, 2006 09:22:15 AM
...you and I are in complete agreement about the horror genre in general and the treatment of Freddy Kruger (in all media) specifically. Bugs Bunny is dead on for what he's become. Like Hannibal from that series of movies, he's become an anti-hero who really only seems to kill those who somehow deserve it and generally does so in ways that are WAY to aware of the audience (mugging for the camera, even). It takes the menace right out of a character and renders the horror impotent. Too bad the folks working this iteration of the Elm Street Slasher haven't learned fromt he past.

Have you guys reviewed "Pride of Baghdad"? by rev_skarekroe	Oct 18th, 2006 11:25:00 AM
If not, you should. It's quite the tear-jerker.
About this Stan Lee meets whoever... by GenericGeek	Oct 18th, 2006 12:28:34 PM
...you forgot to mention that besides the cool stories (the Spidey one has a clever one by Joss Whedon), they also have a reprint of a classic Stan Lee-written comic. The Strange one is so-so, but the Spider-Man one is the classic Spider-Man Unmasked! Best buy of the past few weeks.
unemotional J'onn by BizarroJerry	Oct 18th, 2006 12:44:24 PM
I don't remember that being part of his character either. Sure, he tended to be calm and not loose his cool over his emotions, but they sure as hell were displayed now and then. I'm still annoyed by the fact that they gave him back his vulnerability to fire after the 1980s JL series got rid of that affliction.
Try and keep up Rev. by nofate	Oct 18th, 2006 12:54:39 PM
Pride of Baghdad was reviewed the week after it came out, as is the norm here. Horror comics don't appeal to me. The comic book format does not work with that genre. Couple of panels build up a scene, turn the page, boo! umm...yeah
Where's my first comment? by nofate	Oct 18th, 2006 01:02:11 PM
I was saying the column was way too early, but since is last week's comics I guess is early. Now my non-joke has lost meaning, I'll go watch Heroes now. Hey, speaking of which, is that Tim Sale's art on the comic Hiro picked up?
Nofate by Squashua	Oct 18th, 2006 01:04:20 PM
Actually, the Agents of Atlas review is 2 weeks old, so you're wrong on all counts!
what does "shortest comeback in history means"? by Argentino	Oct 18th, 2006 01:39:36 PM
It's on the cover of that Goliath issue and they were also his last words during Civil War. Is it a coincidence o is it something related to the character. By the way, english isn't my first language so maybe it has an obvius meaming I'm not getting.

What does USE GOOGLE mean? by Squashua	Oct 18th, 2006 02:15:13 PM
Goliath says it to Thor; meanign that Thor just came back from the dead and Goliath was going to put him back where he came from. Goliath, who has never been used anywhere ever, except in his own first appearance, is killed. Hence, Black Goliath has the shortest "comeback" in history. Kind of like Blue Beetle.

What a great way to celebrate coming home from school. I step onto the porch and there it was, still in it's cute package from Amazon. So I think I'll spend this Wednesday reading it. That evil Martian Manhunter? I doubt it. Last time I checked M&M was into eating oreos and making Justice League phone calls.
Wow! Cog profiles on myspace... by loodabagel	Oct 18th, 2006 05:07:24 PM
But there's not even amention of me and Dregmobile. Let's be honest-Do reserve Cogs need their own website? Or am I just like Warren in the Originals?
NEXTWAVE Cancelled? by superhero	Oct 18th, 2006 06:19:53 PM
Just saw it on the Newsarama blog. Sucks for Nextwave fans, I guess...
Nextwave was a 12 issue mniseries... by loodabagel	Oct 18th, 2006 06:56:39 PM
And it makes sense. It's just way too ridiculous for it to be an ongoing series. It would have eventaully ended up like seasons 4 and 5 of Family Guy. There's still be a few "nextwave gems" but I think the majority of stuff would have gotten exceptionally contrived.
NEXTWAVE cancelled by El Vale	Oct 18th, 2006 06:59:20 PM
Because Marvel can't afford Stuart Immonen. True story, folks. Fucker's expensive.
Cogs have dealt us reserves a hard hand ... by dregmobile	Oct 18th, 2006 07:38:15 PM
And the Vogs are offering an attractive salary that includes Dental. God, I'm torn right now ... Can someone post another link to the Cog myspace page? I'll make sure I bookmark it the next time I hit it.
And notice how ... by dregmobile	Oct 18th, 2006 07:43:17 PM
this TB is somewhat managable when those two words are left out of the reviews, 'Civil' and 'War'? Love the Goliath pic.Be great to see Marvel heroes now starting to compete for that title of 'Shortest Comeback in History' ...
Martian Manhunter by Capt. Spaulding	Oct 18th, 2006 08:37:48 PM
I've been a fan of the big green fella for a while now, and have even collected every issue of the Ostrander/Mandrake series from 99-02. I always thought that J'onn was underused, given his unique perspective and multiple powers. This new series, however, just doesn't feel like the Martian Manhunter I know and love, it feels more like someone with a limited knowledge of the character tried to update him (you know, like how movie execs tried with Catwoman). He's bitter, angry and surrounded by other Martians. This is like a heavily armed Superman having a beer with his buddies who just arrived from Krypton. And yes, the spelling and grammatical errors in this comic show us that whoever is in charge of this title just doesn't give a rats ass. It's insulting.
Black Goliath was all over, Squashua by dan grendel	Oct 18th, 2006 11:09:54 PM
Well, sort of. He got around for awhile. He showed up in the Champions, West Coast Avengers, standard Avengers, Defenders, Marvel Two-in-One, Marvel Comics Presents, Black Panther, Spider Woman, Power Man, The Thing, and even had his own series for like 5 issues. I'm probably missing some appearances too. Dude got around before Clor blew him open.

Gahh! That reservation kid is back again! by loodabagel	Oct 18th, 2006 11:22:43 PM
Seriously, we need some reserve Cog representation around here. Joining the vogs is sounding better and better, and I think we might even bring Reservation kid with us. It seems that that Goliath fellow surpassed another great comeback in the "super short" category-That of Typeface's triumphant return in Tangled Web where he became avant-garde and edgy because Ted McKeever was drawing him. Oh, how I long for the return of "edgy" Typeface...
It's not easy being green. by proper	Oct 18th, 2006 11:29:18 PM
I thought Martian Manhunter dealt with these issues back in the late 80's.I remember Keith Giffen once saying that he wanted Oreo cookies to be like crack to MM,but it got turned down.That sounded good.Stan Lee should meet Punisher and Daredevil too.
New Thor Clone name... by Bootskin	Oct 18th, 2006 11:40:32 PM
I like to refer to the Thor clone as "Thoor", in the Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel tradition. Y'know, like the Luke Skywalker Clone was known as "Luuke Skywalker"? >sigh
Stan Lee meets Punisher... by Bootskin	Oct 18th, 2006 11:44:57 PM
"Hey Frank, I'm Stan Lee!" "Stan Lee. Used to be in charge of marvel?" "Yeah!" "The company that wrote the death of my family?" "um...well..." BLAM! roll credits.
Please, we have simple demands... by loodabagel	Oct 18th, 2006 11:57:39 PM
Word on the street is that not only might the reserve cogs join with the vogs, but that they might also recruit Rez11even and Didldoring. You do not want to deny those guys their representation...
The Great & Powerful Turtle, Psynapse,... by kisskissbangbang	Oct 19th, 2006 01:01:15 AM
...is George R.R. Martin's character from the Wild Cards series, a telekinetic who encases himself in a flying shell for protection. Not to be confused with our own Great A'Tuin, who hails from Discworld if I remember right.
Had a look at the new Wildcats ... by dregmobile	Oct 19th, 2006 01:38:21 AM
thought it might be a good jumping on point since i have no idea about anything wild and catty. i was wrong. i think it gave me a headache just flipping through. looks pretty cool, though. just a bit too busy and crazy for me to feel safe buying ... the last Wolverine was something of a letdown. as if the real crescendo was in part 5. not only did we know logan was not going to have his head cut off in this issue (unless, of course, his decapitated head grew back tiny arms and legs, and the other half grew back its head, creating a regular Wolverine and a mini-Wolverine ... with over-sized head), but he kicks the villain's ass (and balls) in a very predictable way, and jumping ship (shield ship) in almost the exact same way Cap did in Civil War 1, except, unlucky for logan, there was no potty mouthed fighter pilot floating his jet beneath him. even the pencils and inks got lazy toward the end. and when SPOILER! the bad guy gets blades through his eye sockets, i just didn't feel much. a great first five issues, though ...
Tales of the Unexpected by dregmobile	Oct 19th, 2006 01:51:17 AM
To be honest, I skipped this review until I was in the shop today and it caught my eye on the shelf. I noticed it was very much like what DC are doing with Mystery in Space, so I picked it up and scanned it. Looked good. Decided I would head back to the office and read the review here before buying ... and I think I'll get it. That Dr. 13 thing looked weird and cool ... of all my years partially collecting DC, I never cared much for the Spectre, but am happy to give this mini a go. The Spectre's 'cool', right?
Casanova by keepcoolbutcare	Oct 19th, 2006 03:02:59 AM
I know one of you assholes gave a positive review for the first issue, have you continued to follow the title? Probably my fave new series, and the latest issue was a blast. The rebuttal to PJ's "Kong" was spot on, and you gotta love Ba's quote in the afterword: "Colors are EVIL!". NEXTWAVE stans, Pynchon lovers, drug fiends, filicide freaks, mindfuck fiction devotees...check this title out. It's only 16pgs (at a $1.99) but reads like so much more.
Dregmobile by Squashua	Oct 19th, 2006 08:54:28 AM
Wow. It is an honor to hear that someone actually read a review I wrote, even if it wasn't on the first try :-) Hope you'll enjoy the book.
"creating a regular Wolverine and a mini-Wolverine… by The Heathen	Oct 19th, 2006 09:42:50 AM
with over-sized head" Ha, that made my morning dreg! I've thought the Wolverine CW tie-in has been crap. A lot of people seem to dig it, but I can't stand it really, especially the art. That was only confirmed by the fact that Ramos will take over for Bachalo after he leaves X-Men. Granted, I think Ramos is slightly better than Bachalo, but not much. Blah. I don't even remeber who Rez11even is looda. And denying representation is exactly what would happen if you recruited trolls. Bad looda. And here's the link to the CogSpace http://tinyurl.com/ymyorl
Buzz Maverik by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 11:05:42 AM
Black Goliath also kicked the crap out of Stilt Man on top of the Champion's skyscraper HQ in LA. Best Black Goliath story was from POWER MAN. Cage's woman, Dr. Claire Trevor, leaves Cage to go to her ex-husband, Bill Foster. Cage misunderstands and follows. Bill Foster is Black Goliath. Cage knocks the shit out of him but then they team up against the Circus of Crime. It is funny that he called himself Black Goliath instead of just "Goliath" but remember, the young, liberal comic guys of the time meant well. They were just white. We won't hold that against them ... too much. Believe it or not, it was kind of a financial risk featuring black characters early on. The comic book companies had problems in the South. If you look at Foster's early appearances in THE AVENGERS, if you can get reprints or back issues, the character is drawn so that you can't tell his race. And they used a bizarre tone in the coloring that really didn't look like it belonged to any racial group. Now, T'Challah, on the other hand, well Jack Kirby wasn't going to back down. In that first appearance, where the Panther lights a cigarette, you can bet it was probably even a Kool.
Ha! I Called My BLACK GOLIATH Post "Buzz Maverik" by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 11:18:28 AM
I'll have to call myself BLACK GOLIATH all day. Actually, I may change that to BLAXPLOILTATION GOLIATH. I would call myself BLACK MAVERIK but I have a cousin by that name (my uncle, Suave Maverik, appeals to women of every race, creed and denomination).
The return of the World Turtle by GreatA'Tuin	Oct 19th, 2006 11:25:35 AM
kisskiss...you are correct sir...ma'am? Damn anyonimity of these interwebs. Anyway, while I may not be THE Great and Powerful Turtle, you can bet your sweet and sour ass that I'd jugg fuckle that assbagger like Psy-Fi on a troll, or Spectragans when Looda tries to sneak into the Mansion. BTW...Issue 2 ON-LINE TOMORROW! RESPEK!
Goddam Drugs! by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 11:34:27 AM
Kids, never do drugs...unless yer posting on site with an edit feature! That's BLAXPLOITATION GOLIATH, not BLAXPLOILTATION GOLIATH. I have no idea what Blaxpoiltation even is, unless, it's like a blaxploitation movie or comic or even novel (they had those! I have one about a pimp called DADDY COOL) that's been exposed to bacteria or something. Actually, I have a direct link to blaxploitation. Believe it or not, I used to get my ass kicked every day as a kid. I know! I wouldn't believe it either! Who'd wanna kick Buzz Maverik's ass? is what yer saying. Yer also sayin', No way would Buzz Maverik get the wrong end of a fight. But I wasn't always this cool. No, I used to get my ass kicked and my comics trashed on my home from the convenience store..okay, I still do. No, really. So Pa Maverik, the second most feared being in Japan after Godzilla and before Ghidarah the Three Headed Monster, drove me over to the home of this guy he knew who was in a blaxploitation kung fu flick called BLACK SAMURAI. This guy wasn't the star or anything but I think they hired every African American martial artist in California for that one. I asked him, "Are you going to teach me karate?" "No." "Kung fu?" "No." "Boxing?" "No." "Then, what're you gonna teach me?" "I'm gonna teach you how to kick someone's ass while not getting your ass kicked." It really came in handy. Dude in the grade above me tries to grab my comic books, I kick him in the groin. And I'm not just talking one kick. You kick and guy in the groin three or four times in a row, he'll never take your comic books again. And his friends will want to be your friend instead. This has been a public service announcement in lieu of an edit feature here at AICN. I have fulfilled my court mandated community service obligation...I hope.
No more Red Bull with Crack chaser for you, Buzz by Squashua	Oct 19th, 2006 11:35:37 AM
I told you to lay off that stuff. BTW, I thought you intended to subject yourself as you based on all the prior posts where someone responds to someone else's TB by stating their name as the subject.
I remember WILD CARDS! by superhero	Oct 19th, 2006 11:43:26 AM
I read the first book, I think. That one had The Great and Powerful Turtle in it, right? He floated the shell of a VW Bug around as his personal transportation, right? That book was crazy...
I Drink Monster, The White Trash Red Bull! by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 11:44:07 AM
It was recommended to me by this meth addict who was dating my next door neighbor. Did I mention that I really do live in the town where they filmed the opening of MY NAME IS EARL at the convenience store and car wash...excuse me, Auto Spa? I don't shop at that convenience store. I shop at the one where everything's in Spanish because they have some kick ass carne asada.

Too lazy to get the degree? Can't complete the thesis and become Dr. Fan, although who the hell is pretentious enough to call himself "Doctor" with a Phd.? You could get the EDd. You might want to try getting yer D.O. at an offshore medical school if you can't get into one in the US. You might want to try to Kim Jong II Medical School & Nuke Tester in North Korea.
We Just Call Him Gamera, The Flying Monster. by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 04:38:59 PM
I like the way he spins, with flames coming out his ass and shit. But how the hell did Ghidarah get to be a king? Last I heard, his senile mother refused to step down and was thinking of passing him over for the throne in favor of the cooler son he had with his hot late wife. Must piss him off. The thing I hate about Ghidarah is that once he showed up, Godzilla and Rodan turned good. I hate good monsters. I want metaphors for nuclear terror, like a 500 foot King Jong II stompin' through the Miracle Mile "He picks up a bus and he throws it back down...." I don't know about all these Japanese names for monsters and stuff because, like, I'm the first Gen-Xer and the Last Baby Boomer with my old man being one of the youngest soliders of WW II, the Big One. We drove American, bay-bee! But he'd watch Godzilla with me when I was kid and root like hell for him:"We coulda used that radioactive sonsabitch in the Pacific!" Make a great movie. Robert Duvall brings Godzilla to life to get revenge on the Japanese because Fat Man and Little Boy just weren't enough.

Nick Adams! We're talkin' Ralph Malph here in a Godzilla movie, playin' an astronaut when he used to play the guy with his baseball cap turned around in the AIP Beach Party Movies. Of course, you have to hand it to Nick. The world's whitest man scores in Japan...for free. Okay, so she's an alien bent on using Ghidrah, Godzilla and Rodan to destroy the Earth. Like any of us would let a little thing like that get in the way!

Yeah, I know. I thought II sounded cooler. Not Kim Jong the Second, but KIM JONG 2: THIS TIME IT'S NUCLEAR. KIM JONG OR DIE HARD, bay-bee! Fuckin' topical humor, anyway. Besides, what yer talking about is Kim Jong, Illinois, the birthplace of boxer/brief underwear.
Also, I Like Assigning Numbers To People Named Kim. by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 05:27:51 PM
Seems like every girl I went out with in 1984 was named Kim. "Does that mean THE girl you went out with '84 was named Kim, Buzz?" Ha, I chop me! But there was Kim, Kimm, Kym...and they'd get pissed when I mentioned assigning numbers. No, I really didn't go out with 'em all at once. I would have been cool if I did that, though. Not that I'd go out with Kim Jong IL...unless maybe we were in prison together or something. I was just thinkin', though, maybe the "Il" is for "Ill". Like it's a hip-hop thang. Most illinest dic-ta-tor, I got that feeling, when I'm rockin' and rapping and nukin' and killin'! I like rap by white guys!

I Love Godzilla, So Okay! by Buzz Maverik	Oct 19th, 2006 06:30:19 PM
What was the baby Godzilla's name? Minya? And, Great, I keep forgetting that you and a lot of others are relatively new around here. This is nothing...I remember seeing that first GAMERA flick on the afternoon movie when I was little kid. That was a great monster and if I remember correctly, he later had some battles more fierice than we saw in the Godzilla flicks. Of course, I was, like, 8, so maybe this is from an 8 year old perspective. Ghirdorah-Ghidarah, let's call the whole thing off. And not to get into the middle of an inter-Cog conflict, Psy, but I think Great may be able to do all that absorbin' and blastin' yer talkin' about. He should at least have the chance to try.

rqornzpf by Ambush Bug	Oct 19th, 2006 07:01:36 PM
Mini-Godzilla on the cartoon was Godzookie. In the movies, it was Tadzilla. I believe Tadzilla made his appearance on MONSTER ISLAND or THE ISLAND OF LOST MONSTERS or some kind of flick like that. Gamera, Mothra, and Rodan were in that one as well. Or maybe it was DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. I dunno, but Tadzilla was in it blowing smoke rings instead of fire.

Never Heard Of Tadzilla, Bug. by Buzz Maverik	Oct 20th, 2006 01:11:40 AM
I remember an old monster mag from childhood which had a picture of Godzilla fighting a cool looking creature they called Anzilla, but I never saw it in a movie. I always called the baby "Son of Godzilla" but in another magazine I saw it referred to as "Minya".
Tadzilla by Ambush Bug	Oct 20th, 2006 02:47:30 AM

Essential Godzilla by dan grendel	Oct 20th, 2006 05:17:33 AM
Yes, Marvel did an Essential Godzilla about six months ago, maybe. They are only doing one printing of it, because of rights or something, so get it before it disappears. And yes, it kicks ass. How can you turn down the King of the Monsters getting picked up by Hercules? Fighting the giant robot Red Ronin? Getting sucked into space and fighting alien monsters? Being shrunk and fighting a rat in a sewer? Being sent back in time by the FF and teaming up with Devil Dinosaur? Trashing Manhattan as he fights the Avengers? Every issue written by Doug Moench, and penciled by Herb Trimpe in some of his finest work, I think.
Gamera wasn't on Monster Island by rev_skarekroe	Oct 20th, 2006 07:33:47 AM
I don't think they ever met each other, since they were characters from competing movie studios.
Tadzilla by Squashua	Oct 20th, 2006 08:38:22 AM
I thought he first showed up in that movie as the imaginary friend of the chinese boy whose uncle invented some sort of robot android that gained sentience and grew to Godzilla-size for absolutely no reason; then it all turned out to be a dream sequence or somthing.
Gamera by Shigeru	Oct 20th, 2006 10:06:01 AM
Was there like a bizarro Gamera with spikes? Am I crazy?
Hey look it's Cameron Stewart! by Shigeru	Oct 20th, 2006 10:10:40 AM
Love your art, man. Speaking of myspace... I review THE OTHER SIDE #1 in our second reviews issue, published today! at www.myspace.com/cogsmooches . Plenty of other reviews and even an interview with Chris Ryall, EIC of IDW Publishing therein! Check it out!

Yeah, I reviewed ESSENTIAL GODZILLA. by Buzz Maverik	Oct 20th, 2006 11:01:12 AM
Must better comic than I would have thought and it holds up pretty well. Dark Horse did a lot of Godzilla comics, which I haven't read, but I do remember an interview with whoever the creative team was where they likened Godzilla to Lovecraft's Cthulhu, which was a brilliant take on it. I like Quentin Tarantino's idea for a Godzilla film: life under Godzilla. Dad kisses Mom goodbye, ruffles Junior's hair, gets in the car and is stomped by a giant foot. All part of life. Yeah, no Gamera on Monster Island. Of course, there's alternative verisons such as the island in an early issue of PLANETARY and the Mole Man's Monster Island in Marvel Comics.
So Psy by Shigeru	Oct 20th, 2006 01:34:54 PM
Have you ever heard of/seen/like Kaiju Big Battel? I'm kind of ashamed I've never seen them live, since I live right outside Boston and all. Though I did get threatened by Dr. Cube a few times at Anime Boston.
Cameron Fucking Stweart!!! by El Vale	Oct 20th, 2006 02:13:07 PM
I love you man! Seriously, you're one of my top 5 fave artists. I bet you're not even reading this, but i don't care.
El Vale by Cameron Stewart	Oct 20th, 2006 02:49:52 PM
I'm reading. ;) Thanks man, I appreciate it.
OMFG!!! by El Vale	Oct 20th, 2006 04:00:19 PM
Dude your Catwoman run was brilliant. It's what comic book art should be, fer chrissakes! Question: What's the status on LeSexy, and is that what it's called? Please tell me it's not dead and buried just yet. Thanks.
Monster Movie Questions For Psy... by Buzz Maverik	Oct 20th, 2006 04:06:30 PM
Did a recent, uncut, un-Raymond Burred DVD version of the original GOJIRO just come out or was that the acid. Or was it the acid, but did it also really happen? Also, have you read Mark Jacobson's novel GOJIRO which is some cool bizzaro shit, with the monster a cross between Godzilla and Tyler Durden?
Also by El Vale	Oct 20th, 2006 04:10:59 PM
Did you notice how i totally mispelled your name on that first post? That was sweet.
No, Man, I Seriously Dig Godzilla... by Buzz Maverik	Oct 20th, 2006 05:41:40 PM
...this is some interesting stuff. Pop culture east begins to affect pop culture west. Was it really based on THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS, which I believe was based on something by Ray Bradbury. Sort of like how Dashiell Hammet writes RED HARVEST which Akira Kurosawa turns into YOJIMBO which Sergio Leone turns into those Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns. 80's flashback: Buzz girlfriend at the time finds SEVEN SAMURAI, YOJIMBO, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS on the shelf of El Bachelor Pad del Maverik: "Oh, god, yer into kung fu movies?" Yeah, I went for the brains. Well, really, I went for the looks. Well, really I went for, "Okay, Buzz, I'll go with you." But my point is still valid.
I don't know how many times I have to tell you.... by GreatA'Tuin	Oct 20th, 2006 06:51:35 PM
The WORLD, the thing that Gamera is supposedly protecting and gets his power from, yeah that fucking thing rides on my SHELL. Gamera can shoot his mana wad all he wants. I'll just put a continent sized flipper on his head and rub his nose in it like a bad puppy. Seriously, WORLD Turtle. As in big, son, real big.
Cog Smooches are cute and I by loodabagel	Oct 20th, 2006 06:52:14 PM
Cog Smooches are cute and I enjoy them, but for all of you who just can't get enough comic-ey stuff on the internet, I've decided to launch yet another weekly comics blog. Now, not only can I not do this all by myself, but I woudn't want to anyway. So I encourage all of those young, nubile wannage cogs to send me their own reviews at Louiewhiteford@yahoo.com. By no means, do I wish to unite with the vogs, or compete with my fellow cogs (even if I am but a lowly reservist, sigh...) I merely wish to help out the many comic fans out there who enjoy seeing something they wrote on the internet. (God, what a bunch of self absorbed jerks, right?) Besides, that Turtle guy is fucking nuts and you do not want to mess with him.
Also worth noting... by loodabagel	Oct 20th, 2006 07:03:56 PM
Haven't been around in a few days, but I am serious when I say I respect the reservation kid. He may be just a troll, but he's a troll with style. He/she amuses me. But I guess I did go over the line with Dildoring. Maybe I just miss the unholy fury of El Vale and Great A'Tuin being unleashed on his boo-tay.
LeSexy by Cameron Stewart	Oct 21st, 2006 12:33:23 AM
El Vale, unfortunately as far as I know LeSexy is a dead project (for those who don't know, LeSexy was an aborted comic project by Grant Morrison and I, set in a disturbingly weird David Lynchian town in the north of Scotland, inspired by great British horror films like the original Wicker Man and Don't Look Now). I think it was decided that the story was a bit too culturally specific to the UK to be commercially viable in America, and also the themes present in the story were explored to greater effect in Grant's other works, so it was scrapped. I believe it was for a time considered for British television but ultimately I think it will go down as one of those sadly unrealized projects. I'm hoping to work with Grant again soon, either on a Seaguy sequel or perhaps something else. Thanks for the support, it's always appreciated!
LeSigh (See what i did there?) by El Vale	Oct 21st, 2006 03:10:37 AM
That is sad news. It just sounded so...so right! Commercial viability is on my to kill list as of now. How bout Brubaker? If you guys did a Slam Bradley comic together, i would totally give you my soul. I also wanted to mention, me and my friends, we run a comic book review column over at MySpace and we have a fresh new Other Side review if you're interested in that sort of thing. Check it out, it'd mean a lot to us http://tinyurl.com/y75t5h

What happened to that Thundercats cartoon? That I would enjoy seeing some pictures from.
Da Fug? by Shigeru	Oct 23rd, 2006 11:03:08 AM
I thought the Seaguy sequel was a definite go, as it was one of Grant's stipulations to DC over writing 52? hearts Seaguy

I think this is the first weekend in a looong time that there hasn't been a post at all. Gorram it. We're all so busy and productive like. How about Phil Jimenez on 52? I had no idea he was drawing an issue. Fill me in Thalya! I was like, hey this art isn't bland like it usually is, this is kinda better than normal stuff, what, OH!

That 52 with the Jiminez art is the only one I have actually picked up and scanned, and I had the same reaction. Still - I ain't falling for it, DC!!! waits for trades

I'm always the only one here. Occasionally Psynapse will come in nice and early, but it's usually just me talkback-masturbating. Oy! I'm coining that phrase right now. Talkback Masturbating-When there is only one person on the talkback and they keep posting over and over. Unfortuneately, this is also going to be my last post for ato least 6 hours.

It's not an exceptionally tasteless Psynapse joke and you might have already have heard it but... What's the one thing more annoying than a male chauvanist pig? A dumb bitch that won't shut up.
