@LibraryBoy : So...you're officially eligible to whine :P Woohoo! \:D/ Although, for the record, I hate when I whine, but if they'd just make the show the way I always want it to be, then none of us would have to listen to me, would we? :D…

The Green Team #1 Daredevil #26 (when did this become $3.99?) Fearless Defenders #4AU (when did THIS become $3.99?) Batman Incorporated #11 Adventure Comics #406 (I loves me some 70s Supergirl)

"I think it also displayed what I find maddening about Moffat's writing/run - key points of the episode are just left up in the air as an exercise for the viewer. " Yup. Here's another thing that drives me nuts. Not on this board, but over on a dif…

I noticed that longtime fans (ie. the folks from and around Radio Free Skaro) appreciate Moffat way more than the newbs ( ie. the fanboys from and around Gallifrey Base) Well, maybe in some cases, but I've been a fan since about 1984 or 1985, so.…

Moffat definitely has a habit of laying the groundwork for mysteries, talking about them for a while without ever moving them forward, and then suddenly rushing everything in at once because he ironically runs out of time and/or space to fit them in…

I bought last week online and received yesterday the Minecraft set. The reason I just now got it is because just a couple weeks ago I started playing the Minecraft Pocket Edition app on my Kindle Fire. I completed one quarter of it so far. My son …

BrickFair was a good time, similar in set-up (if not in size/scope) as Lego's official KidsFest. Decent-sized play area (which my son made a beeline for as we walked in... we had a good time making racers and sending them down the ramp), lots of di…

I'm about 3/4ths of the way through Superman: The Unauthorized Biography by Glen Weldon, a reviewer and writer for, among other places, NPR.com. It's a fun read. Maybe nothing too surprising in there if you know a lot about the history of Superman…

My thoughts on the finale and the Moffat era in general over at my blog, Trusty Plinko Stick.

Avengers: The Enemy Within #1 FF #7 All Star Western Vol. 2 TPB (from the half-off TPB box... nice!)

If there are any role playing game fans out there, I have the following up for sale on eBay right now: - Mayfair Games DC Heroes lot, consisting of the 1989 Box Set (w/o the dice but with all the books, cards, GM screen, and action wheel), 4 advent…

To be honest, I'd like to see DC just come right out and say they're out of the numbers game and just give us a bunch of mini-series (for the lower-tier characters). Instead of promising some ongoing series for a character like, say, Amethyst, why …

The kiddo LOVES the Scribblenauts games. We're gonna have to check this out when it comes out on WiiU and 3DS.

Has anyone read the Movement or Green Team? They sounded somewhat interesting. The Movement was alright, I guess, but in a very 90s "we're a DCU team with funny names that's taking back the streets!" kind of way. In my brain it occupies a weird mi…

Flash!! Marvel denies Avengers cancellation! Publisher claims "just a mistake'! Assemble to tie-in with Infinity! comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=45485 Woohoo!
-
ACTION COMICS - 3 issues, with the intention of maybe getting the trades, but haven't yet. ALL-STAR WESTERN - Read and enjoyed first trade, will get the second one of these days. ANIMAL MAN - 6 or 7 issues. It was just moving way too slowly, and t…
-
Of course, I have to wonder how much the cancellation of the existing Avengers Assemble has to do with the Avengers Assemble cartoon tie-in book they mention... not sure of the sales numbers or anything, but maybe trying to avoid brand confusion is …
-
I've been loving Avengers Assemble since Kelly Sue DeConnick took over. Her characterizations of the team and the focus on (comparatively) smaller-scale stories was a nice counterpoint to the bigger, louder stuff going on elsewhere (also, those sto…

Sub-question: How many of those remaining 31 have no ties to Superman, Batman, and/or the Justice League?
-
Also? Not the sort of show on which I ever would've expected to hear a Tasha Tudor reference. I oughtta tell my mom about that, she loves Tasha Tudor's books and gardens.

I haven't read a lot of them, but the DC digital first books I have seen have been pretty good, and an absolute godsend for folks who are DC fans but don't care for where the New 52 has been headed. What I read of Ame-Comi Girls (those first Wonder…

For all his strengths, I don't think Gaiman is a particularly good Doctor Who writer. And after feeling disappointed after pretty much every episode this half-season (some have been better than others, but I don't think there's been a one I thought…
-
I'm in the middle of Lucy Knisley's Relish: My Life in the Kitchen right now, which is fantastic... a memoir based entirely around her experiences with food (her parents were cooks, caterers, and all-around foodies), complete with some amazing sound…
-
I agree with @Torchsong's appreciation for Supergirl. It's not very good, but Helen Slater well-cast as Supergirl (she's a little bland in her performance, but she does alright and certainly looks the part), and Faye Dunaway, Brenda Vaccaro, and Pe…

Addendum: The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventures HC - That Rocketeer Adventures Treasury Edition from IDW reminded me that I still hadn't picked this up (and have only ever read the initial story when it was collected way back when... never read Cl…

Looks like the kiddo and I are making the trek up to New Hampshire tomorrow for BrickFair New England. Not quite sure what to expect from a fan event, but Lego's official KidsFest was a great time, so we're hoping for a similar experience there (wi…

Cameron Stewart drawing an Earth-S story written by Grant Morrison? Yes, please. Definitely. I'll take two. And Morrison's comments on Wonder Woman are... interesting. Definitely curious to see what he's cooking up there.

Almost Human - From Emmy Award-winning executive producer J.J. Abrams and creator/executive producer J.H. Wyman and starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, Almost Human (working title) is an action-packed police drama …

I completely misunderstood the question... Superman Returns and Batman & Robin are both movies I will never watch again, where Spider-Man 3 and Batman Forever are movies that I could watch again, flaws and all.
-
Oh, and Batman and Robin. Man, that one was a hard pill to swallow. Batman Forever was cheesy with all the neon and the nipples and the cars climbing walls and the Two-Face coin flip cheating, but it was still kind of enjoyable in ways (probably h…
