Appropriate name there 'douche'... by LordPorkington	Mar 26th, 2008 08:37:35 AM
Still, dickheads aside, we need more GI Joe on this section, assuming they're still producing Joe titles. I know the Devil's Due license is up this year. Does anyone have any more information on this?

Never been a first by optimous_douche	Mar 26th, 2008 08:52:20 AM
I just wanted to see what it would feel like :-(
Nothing on "Invasion"? by Borgnine JR	Mar 26th, 2008 09:14:53 AM
Doesn't that start next week? You must all be Skrulls.
Optimus_douche... by LordPorkington	Mar 26th, 2008 09:26:57 AM
Did it make you feel dirty and worthless? I don't mind people being first, but detest those who feel the need to shout it out and leave the comment field blank. Now back onto the topic of comics... I really feel the need to not only dig out my old GI Joe comics, but also delve into the Devil's Due issues too, because I have a few of their posters on my wall, but haven't read a single issue.

Bite the hand that types much? "Hey, you're a stupid scumbag, but can you get me some information?" Who cares who's first? C'mon... As to your question, there's a rumor that IDW will pop up with the license, but I don't have confirmation. If anyone else does, let us know.
Ex Machina by Stefan McTierney	Mar 26th, 2008 10:36:47 AM
I kinda thought the nature of Mitch's powers were right there in the title. He got them because the story required him to have them.
Once and for all people, the word is Canon. by Reel American Hero	Mar 26th, 2008 11:31:01 AM
A cannon is a large device that fires out cannonballs and was used during the Civil War and on old ships. Canon is what holds a fictional universe together, it's dense continuity that makes a universe feel real to some, and hard to follow for others. Writers do frequently violate a story's canon, but I've yet to see anybody violating any cannons in anything I've ever read or seen.
But wouldn't it be cool by optimous_douche	Mar 26th, 2008 11:36:10 AM
to watch someone violate a cannon.
"violate a cannon" by rock-me Amodeo	Mar 26th, 2008 11:45:24 AM
Best. Comeback. Ever.
Nice Fables review by I am the most horrible	Mar 26th, 2008 12:02:56 PM
I'm a little worried about Pinocchio. I hope the citizens of Fabletown are keeping their eyes on that guy. After the relative success of the battles for Haven I am wary of the pendulum swinging the other way.
And congratulations... by I am the most horrible	Mar 26th, 2008 12:06:59 PM
...on the FIRST. By now you know there is no feeling of pride, accomplishment or satisfaction to be had by being FIRST...but you gotta be FIRST to find that out. Now you know. Now you also know that the petty, jealous and small minded will attack you for your FIRSTitude. Let them tire themselves out from bitching, 'til they retreat to their corner of the basement to re-read their GI JOES. :^)
Fables & First by optimous_douche	Mar 26th, 2008 12:35:37 PM
There is some definite dark shit on the horizon. First was everything I hoped it would be and more, better than a hand job from a tranny in Penn Station.
Ambush Bug, R.A. Salvatore is a writer by Matthew Martinez	Mar 26th, 2008 01:27:37 PM
I don't even read D&D novels, but I've seen the myriad Forgotten Realms books with his name on the cover in the bookstores. (I did read his Star Wars novel, Vector Prime. It was okay, I guess. I heard it was heavily edited by LucasBooks.) Salvatore co-created Spooks and co-writes with Hama and Schifrin. It's Adam Archer and Jonny Rench you should crediting with the artwork.
violating a cannon by Reel American Hero	Mar 26th, 2008 02:02:09 PM
Would be interesting to see, then I'd feel dirty afterwards.
I'd violate your cannon. by rev_skarekroe	Mar 26th, 2008 02:34:39 PM
I'd violate it so hard.
greetings... by blackthought	Mar 26th, 2008 04:16:16 PM
i miss gotham central...just saying.
I remember my first… by The Heathen	Mar 26th, 2008 04:25:45 PM
It was an article saying that there would be a Transporter 2, and my subject line read, "I hope it's better than the first." See what I did there? I also then wrote something else about how Statham was cool, but the movie was silly. Back to the Orbiting Cogstation now…
Kind of felt bad for the girl by Reel American Hero	Mar 26th, 2008 04:54:33 PM
I felt bad for the cannon, too.
Gargoyles #8 out today by ballyhoo	Mar 26th, 2008 06:58:49 PM
Inconsistent schedule, but a great book. As always, I must shamelessly remind everyone here about it when it ships.
ALmighty looks great! by kirttrik	Mar 26th, 2008 11:08:12 PM
I checked out his myspace and I look forward to getting the book. The thing that sucks is publisher's would say that this book wouldn't sell in this market. Which is ridiculous because sells have more to do with marketing than product at times and if you don't market it , it won't sell. How else can you explain the load of crap out their that does sell? I mean for god's sakes, 10,000 B.C. was green lit and made tons in box office revenue and everybody knows it is complete shit!
Whoa. Slow week? by loodabagel	Mar 26th, 2008 11:36:53 PM
The talkback is dead, kids, dead! I might check out that Fables though. Sounds like a fun time.
SHOOT THE MESSENGER & THE SECRET TOURNEY OF INFINITE @$$-KICKERY by Ambush Bug	Mar 27th, 2008 08:57:40 AM
Just a reminder. SHOOT THE MESSENGER is being moved to Mondays and this Monday, THE SECRET TOURNAMENT OF INFINITE @$$-KICKERY begins. Be sure to check it out on Monday. End plug. And to liven up the Talkback a bit, Marvel's Civil War was neither civil, nor a war...talk amongst yourselves.
Ban Ambush Bug! by I am the most horrible	Mar 27th, 2008 11:45:39 AM
Troll!
Ambush Bug... by loodabagel	Mar 27th, 2008 03:23:26 PM
Is a motherfucking cocksucking baby-eating asshole-pissing-in douche!
Lood no no no by optimous_douche	Mar 28th, 2008 06:54:57 AM
Bug does not PISS inside me. The vas deferens makes sure of that, plus he usually pulls out.
Nobody reads Shoot The Messenger. by rev_skarekroe	Mar 28th, 2008 08:24:10 AM
Seriously, I don't think AICN needs two comix columns a week right now.
Moving Shoot the Messenger... by rock-me Amodeo	Mar 28th, 2008 09:14:00 AM
has forced me and all around me to change their schedules to accommodate its Brand New Day. P.S. Bug and Joey Q, that's five dollars EACH you owe me.
shot the messenger... by blackthought	Mar 28th, 2008 09:43:07 PM
skrulls read that right?
no shit by I am the most horrible	Mar 30th, 2008 03:11:11 AM
This TB is dead. But is it Captain Marvel dead? Gwen Stacy dead? Deadman dead? We'll see...though I'll go on record with: Illyana Rasputin dead.
I love Fables, but... by HoldynTwyst	Apr 1st, 2008 12:48:21 PM
In that issue, despite being generally awesome, well-paced, and intriguing, it had a throw-away line that bugged the crap out of me, when Cindy was saying how it was a good thing that the goon was knocked out so he wouldn't see how STRONG a popular Fable can be. Now, I fully accept the idea that a Fable's popularity makes them hard to destroy, because their popularity means that they have to exist so their stories can continue to exist, but the idea that that would also make them superhumanly strong for some reason seems wrong to me. If anything, they should be more exagerated toward how they are percieved because of their story, or they should change some as popular tellings of their stories change, but the strength thing seems wrong. With excalibur and the witching cloak and magic in general out there already, we don't need any more arbitrary power assignations juicing things up.
