  1. Thought I'd remind you all I also have this beauty. :acclaim:

     

    Surprised I haven't shown this off yet.

    From the same guy I bought the #1 from.

    great book, such a toughie 9.8 with that die cut.

    I've actually had a few boardies ask me about thia book recently. :whistle: (you know who you are) ;)

     

    I'm thinking about sending my entire Tick collection to have them graded, but some of the feed back from Buddy can you spare a grade are recommending that this may not be a good idea. What are your thoughts on this?

    If those are the books I wouldn't unless I knew I could get a nice 9-ish grade.
  2. uhhh....What did I just watch?

     

    I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't appear as though they're keeping a lot of the more religious mythology aspects based on that trailer. I mean... maybe they're going to surprise the non-comic audience with it, but still... I think we saw Herr Starr, and a glance of Tulip, and maybe Cassidy in the jail cell? But umm... what about Genesis? Pretty sure swerving the audience with angels/demons/Genesis/etc might not really be the best way to gain audience.

     

    I like the chances of the series being successful if they don't show the religious parts of the comic. They can still have a good plot without it.

     

    Uh...what? The 'religious parts' are the core of the story. Angel/Devil offspring. Search for God. Destroying Angel seeking vengeance. If it doesn't have these elements, what's the point? Why call it 'Preacher'? Does anyone know how much Garth Ennis has to do with the production/writing? Hopefully he has a key role such as Kirkman's on TWD.

    Said it better then I ever could. :golfclap:
  3. Iris....now her MOM?

     

    How many weaksauce characters are they going to pile on?

     

    Enough already.

    Yeah, Iris is the worst part of this show. She's such a bad actor. Similar to Laurel Lance on Arrow.

     

    She wouldn't be all that bad if they used her sparingly, but the heartbroken Barry stuff is getting old and the neverending drama that surrounds Iris is just over the top unnecessary.

    More superhero stuff, less General Hospital/Days of Our Lives nonsense FTW!

    It's the CW what did you expect? lol
  4. Any kind of spin-off would be.. blasphemous (and I know that sounds like fanboy whining, because it kinda is).

     

    Why, just because Alan Moore is an elitist prig? Who cares WHAT he thinks--it's DC's property and his opinion no longer matters. I get where he's coming from, but he doesn't give a tenth of a mess about any relationship any of his fans have created with these characters at this point. Plenty of others do.

     

    I respect Moore's ability, but not his arrogance. Yes, you can't translate all of the innovations to the comic medium he made in "Watchmen" to other media, and yes, any attempt to do so will be inferior to "Watchmen" because the odds that a Snyder or anyone else would similarly try to innovate the translated medium anywhere close to the extent to which he did is nil to zero. Who cares? Mostly Alan Moore and not many others. Do we really miss and return to re-experience his innovations to panel-based art that much? No--the vast majority of us re-experience Watchmen because of the story and the characters. You can still tell good stories with these characters, and while it won't be Alan Moore's Watchmen, it's still possible to do them well. He's not the only writer capable of penning an anti-superhero story.

     

    Nothing to do with Alan Moore. Watchmen is a complete work with no loose ends. You can't spin off the characters because they aren't 'superheroes' that can go off on further adventures. Their arcs are complete.

     

    You wouldn't spin off Hamlet would you? (Oh wait... I did like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead...)

    Clearly you haven't seen Hamlet 2. :baiting:
