  • Episode 1254 Talkback: A Conversation with Colleen Doran

    what a terrific interview.
    she is a very entertaining and funny lady.
    she had some great stories.
  • Before Watchmen (spoilers)

    I was disappoint in The Comedian #1.

    I did not like the way Eddie was portrayed, he did not resemble the man in Watchmen. What was the point of his man crush on Jack and Bobby. I much prefer the interaction he had with Jack from the movie then him crushing on him during a game of touch football. To me it makes more sense that the man who tried to rape his teammate would kill the president and not hang out with him.

    I am not buying the death of JFK is what changes him or at least the beginning of his change. Which is what the story seems to be implying. He was a vicious psyco before and after the death not because of it.
    I saw that relationship totally different from what I think you're saying here. I thought this was more of an entitled group of guys that had a lot of power that could get away with a lot of bad behavior when they felt like it. The Kennedys with the adultery/Chappaquiddick/rape and Eddie with everything that he's done. It's natural for people of similar stature to be drawn to each other, especially if they have complementary skill sets/values and aren't competing with each other.


    I don't see them as the group of idealists that you commonly saw presented in the media in the past, and which I think is what you're saying when you suggested that this is what would turn Eddie bad. I don't think that this is a story about what put him on the wrong track. He was already flawed. I'm thinking that this is more a Kennedy assassination conspiracy story, and that the next step in this story is going to be about why J. Edgar Hoover wanted to keep the Comedian away from Dallas.

    I actually quite enjoyed this issue. That makes one of us, so far.
    I was seeing it as this is a moment where he starts losing faith in the country and gets that-this country is a joke attitude-which we see in watchmen.
  • Gallagher's Gallows

    He gets some mystical item that sends him into these crazy adventures.
    The first one was a batman like adventure.
    The second one was a cowboy adventure.
    THE LAST TWO ISSUES had to do with Alice in wonderland.
    He's got some ridiculous jesters outfit on and trying to stop the queen and.....
    Oh! I can't go on it hurts my head.:s
  • What's The Best Comic You Never Hear Anyone Talking About?

    The One by Rick Veitch
    This came out from epic before
    Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns
    Its a take on superheroes in the real world with some metaphysical stuff thrown in
    I've always loved this story and the covers. You can find the trade around.

    Also I live in a French community here in Manitoba so growing up our school library had all the french books I got to read a lot of theTin tin, lucky Luke, asterix and obelix and the smurfs( schtroumpfs in French) that was in the early eighties
    They are such fun books
  • who is your match

    I'm still paying off MIke's Christmas gifts for the last three years, so I'm glad you're here to help lighten the load, Elf!
    The gift I got him was much easier to pay off. I just gave her some crack and she was satisfied.
    HaHa!
    Godamn that's funny!
