Buttonman has upped the ante! Well, muthafucka, I'm in.

Pat Mill's including Graysuit, Requiem and the Langley Slaine.

Fifties era Melodramas.

Iris Murdoch.

Both Amises.

Philip Glass.

Superman.

I'll miss Fraser. A great deal of craft and thought went into those silly stories. Wish I could say the same about most of our new writers of entertainment.

Didn't care for it myself. Doesn't hold a candle next to Sleeper and Criminal. Of his Marvel work that my brother periodically drops off at my house I liked Iron Fist the best.

I read comics today because I found Love and Rockets when I was at the age where a boy begins to give them up. Get them you won't regret it.

Cerebus is an interesting case. The volumes Cerebus through Jakas Story are pure gold. After that, well, that's when the debate starts. Sim is not anti-feminist exactly, he's a misogynist. I say this because even in an entirely patriarchal state chicks would still bug him. He seems to hate and resent how much men bend over backwards to please women. But that's been true of heterosexual men since time began.

Anyhow the strange thing about his comics is that if you hadn't read the essays you probably wouldn't know his stance. The women are all well drawn and balanced. Jaka who Sim's said he's exposed as the spoiled princess she is, comes off better than Cerebus. The Cirinists feel more like a comment on totalitarian states and how they are built from good intentions than a satire of feminists. The artist is so strong he wins most battles over the lunatic.

Avoid Reads, Rick's Story, and Latter Days.

AmazonUK needs to hire some comic geeks ASAP! Just embarassing.

MW -Tezuka (Fuckin' awesome)

Meirnik Dossier -McCarry (Good Times)

Scott Pilgrim gets it together (fantastic)

Left bank Gang- Jason (too short by half but I   think that of all his stuff)

Checkmate-Rucka (not a poke in the eye)

Jim Lee
Geoff Johns

Fucking hell. I would wish death on a man before alzheimers. Its like an emotional nuke lands in the middle of your family.

All I know is that whoever wrote Blink should be forced at gunpoint to write all of the episodes.

I cannot wait for this. So many favorite story lines all at once.

How about The Pit?

**Affleck and Damon, born to play soulless automaton killers. But which States will they become Governors of?**

Tordelback I think I love you.

I claim Affleck for the medium-sized-impoverished state of New Mexico. His angry small man syndrome will compliment our state to a T.

Want to see this for Casey Affleck. He was suprisingly great in Gone Baby Gone.

Yeah Dredd by clint langley would be interesting. I would love to see him on Lobster Random.

Prog 2008 looks amazing. Looking forward to Alpha, the collections have whet my appetite to a feverish degree.

**Perhaps i shouldnt criticise it at all but instead just accept it passively and without question. It won an award so it must be good.**

Oh now don't go over all sulky PW. I gave my "inconsequential nonsense" because I like your heart-on-your-sleeve posts. Of course it can be taken or left. My only issue is you seem to percieve it as the cats-paw of your enemy, "the elites." They are merely culture addicts such as you and I. They can be wrong, just a comic readers were wrong about Jim Lee (f#@kin' Jim Lee). Just saying, and you of couse can take or leave the advice, you should go. You feel too strongly about the matter to claim indifference.
