Hey saw that you used to subscribe to checkmate. Did you check out Final Crisis: Resist? The one shot I thought was amazing for Checkmate fans and probably my favorite issue out of all things Final Crisis thus far! Resist was also huge to the how Final Crisis will play out from where it is now. Definitely check it out!

Why thank you!

After reading the newsletter, I was severely disappointed that the HI blog hasn’t had an entry on Tyler’s eating habits yet. We were promised entries on Tyler’s eating habits!!!

Unrelated, I just read Morrison’s Arkham Asylum. Morrison’s writing was terrific, but Dave McKean’s art ruined it for me.

Cool Morrison marathon you have going on. I decided to check out a few morrison books myself. I’m caught up on his Batman run which honestly was outstanding!

I’ve been reading a bit of Seven Soldiers of Victory and The Invisibles….oh my god, the guy is nuts!

Did you ever see Morrison’s speach on what inspired him to write the invisibles, totally nuts! http://youtube.com/watch?v=5gHOh4Cgkn0

I’d really love to see Morrison do a run on Green Lantern, that would be a match made in comic book heaven.

By the way if your just going to read Batman and Son, I highly suggest you track down issue #666, an absolutely amazing issue!

Hey dude, I’m very much interested in your Morrison project. How is it going?

cool, glad you got some use out of it. Funny thing is I had been compiling that list for a little while now and always meant to post it in a neat forum thread but when Tyler announced the list feature, it was just too easy not to do it then… :)

Hey, I was thinking about picking up scalped again, have you read the second trade? Do you think you’ll keep following it?

“If you’re gonna try to paint Joss Whedon with the “women in refrigerators” brush, you will be fighting a long, losing, uphill battle, friend. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single creator in media who’s done more to advance the cause of feminism in popular culture.”

Yes, he’s a noted feminist. But in THIS ARC he chose to put a sexually abused girl in it. Why? That plot hasn’t really done much for the story (usually fridge girls do) and (maybe due to poor writing) he hasn’t gotten across the point that “pedos are bad.” AND this is in a comic that previously was marketed for kids (small digest size).

Joss’ s howBUFFY has done a lot for women. Nothing else has expect in personal cases (though those do matter the most, I’ll admit).

Hi Matt, just read Killing Pickman #1. Very cool stuff. Thanks for recommending it. The art threw me a bit at first, as I’m not used to that type. But the story was good enough to cover for it, and I got used to the style by the end.

truer words have never been spoken my friend… :)

I agree, it is indeed very cool. I had had some recommendations from another message board but HeavyInk is really incredible in terms of discovering new stuff. The last 11 in my pull list (starting with Locke & Key) were all either added after reading a review here (As for Fell, the FF special), comparing pull lists of people reading stuff similar to what I like (Locke & Key, Gate of the east wind, by simply looking at the “NEW” page (the three twilight crusade titles and you can add Blood Bowl), or again from the recommendation page (Kick ass, Criminal, Doctor Who). Very, very stoked with how HeavyInk is improving my comic fun so far. Will have to control myself a bit though cause I’m getting close to the max I wanna spend… ;)

thanks for your input (re: Buffy). Base don it and Robert’s input, I’ve decided to pass on it. I’m lacking time to watch past series and there’s still plenty for me to read anyway…

I did pick up another series based on another of your reviews: Fell. Will be getting the trade first, then have added it to my pull list. Saw some previews and liked what I saw very much. Thanks for your reviews, they’ve been very helpful.

This is gonna sound very l33t but Heavy Ink rocks. I’ve discovered a ton of new stuff I probably would not have known about in the one week I’ve been around here.

I’ve read your review of Buffy season 8 and it, along with the good review I’ve seen from other friends, is making it tempting. Thing is, I’ve never read, nor followed the TV series. You think a newcomer to the series could pick it up from issue #1 of season 8, not be completely lost and would enjoy it? Thanks in advance.

Hey man, I saw a few reviews you have up on here, glad other people like northlanders as well. Anyway I dunno if you follow Jason Aaron’s stuff at all but Scalped might be something you’d be into, also he took over Wolverine and Ghost Rider, and they’ve both been great.

Definitely check out Ghost Rider 20 if you can, I’ve never been a fan of the character but the new issue is just incredibly awesome and refreshing.

I’ll agree that USM doesn’t match the “epicness” of The Ultimates. I’d argue more, but I think at this point it’s just a difference of opinions. :)

Then why does his big titles, Astonishing and Runaways, both stink? And are late? Go cry in Angel’s arms.

Maybe I should get off his back. He is busy failing at his job all the time. That must feel pretty bad.

See?

Thanks! I hope I can get better. I’m an english major and if I don’t figure out where the heck to put myself in the world, I’m gonna be broke.

I love both Rucka and Brubaker. I will most definitely pick this up – thanks.
