  1. Nice Andy. You'll be fine with those, no worries. Bedlam is one of THE BEST new books of 2012. Things can happen overnight. Look at the insanity that is happening to SAGA, Manhattan Projects,and Peter Panzerfaust. Bedlam (IMHO), is better than at least one (PP), maybe two (MP), of those titles.

     

    :takeit:

     

    I just worry about so many different covers. I think I would rather have 8 reprints then 7 normal covers.

  2. There have been a lot of discussion about lackluster art on some of the more popular books.

     

    Peter Panzelfaust, Chew, Manhattan Projects, etc....and while I agree some of the art isn't up to more mainstream artists, I think writing is far more important than art.

     

    Look at South Park, The Simpsons, Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, etc.....None of these have the visual appeal of a Neal Adams book or a Brian Bolland or a Frazetta painting, yet they are captivating for the sheer brilliance of the writing.

     

     

    I have to say that Bill Watterson would nail it time and time again when he was drawing a jet, or dinosaurs. Or dinosaurs in jets =) . Sorry to digress.

     

     

    I would give away every comic I owned for a piece of original Bill Watterson art that was Calvin and Hobbes related.

  3. so why does marvel insist on using such poor quality paperstock and charging so much per issue? not to mention all the adverts in the middle of the story. Nobody expects to see adverts in the middle of a DVD or at the Movies.

     

    Have you gone to a movie or watched a DVD lately? The commercials may not show up in the middle of a movie, but they sure do show up before the movies either in the theater or on the DVD. I was disgusted to recently see ads on DVDs that I purchased and will be forced to jump through every time I fire that movie up. You see them wherever you go (and that doesn't even count product placements that are so obvious these days).

     

    Watch a season of Chuck. Subway is one of the main reasons this show didnt get canceled earlier then it did.

  4. ABC orders a pilot...

     

    "The Returned, a drama from The Killing‘s Aaron Zelman, asks the provocative question, “What happens when the people you have mourned and buried suddenly appear on your doorstep as if not a day’s gone by? The lives of the people of Aurora are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return.”"

     

    Tim says...

     

     

    "Well, that's incredibly annoying. ABC orders pilot "The Returned." Sounds familiar. "

     

    Mike says...

     

     

    "My fury-meter is running around 11 right now. "

     

    Thats messed up...
