Guest starvenger Report post Posted November 4, 2002 That book honestly has no more redeeming value to it today. Now fans can go online and read interviews with their favorite creators that are interesting and fascinating to read and are not bogged down by the read tape in Wizard's interviews. Not to mention the interviewer's on the net are much more competent in how the conduct the interview and what questions to ask instead of dicking around and asking questions that most of us know the answers to. Sure it does. It allows the youth of today to become the Entertainment Weekly readers of tomorrow. ... ... On second thought, that probably isn't a good thing.

Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted November 6, 2002 No, it isn't. We end up with more rubes that believe everything Wizard says as the gospel while leaving out a ton of information that most readers are too lazy about. Then when they find themselves in a debate with someone who does know more about the topic and has done the research, they curl up into a little ball and use the excuse "well I never heard that so you must be lying" that just shows their ignorance.

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2007 I forgot I made this thread. In the last month I've downloaded Superman: Birthright and the entire Batman Catalcysm/No Man's Land story arc. I also bought the Superman/Batman Absolute Power collection, and the Crisis on Infinite Earths compendium. No Man's Land got me into this stuff big-time, since it was something totally realistic in terms of a destroyed city and people scraping by for simple day-to-day survival. It took me a few years after this thread, but I did ultimately get into comics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2007 I was hearing tell that a future Batman movie was going to be a re-telling of "The Long Halloween", which would be fucking amazing if they pulled it off right. It's available as a TBP for like 15 bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2007 I highly suggest checking out The Long Halloween. It is good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 I'd seen that mentioned a few times here and it was indeed at the bookstore. It'll probably be the next thing I pick up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 (And my gradual rule of the board comes closer...) Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge You know, I don't know if you'd dig The Dark Knight Returns, but The Killing Joke and Batman: Year One might make for some good follow-up reading for Batman, in addition to The Long Halloween. And, on a completely unrelated note, I'd recommend The Invisibles to you. Really trippy DC Vertigo stuff from Grant Morrison that you might like. Also, The Watchmen is pretty much implied with any thread like this, so here's to a token mention of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 Superman also has a couple of good tales as well. Check out Alan Moore's What ever happened to the Man of Tomorrow. I would also say check out For the Man who has Everythingas well. In fact, the 2nd one I posted was made into a Justice League cartoon episode as well. I also agree with The Man in Blak's suggestion of The Killing Joke. One of the best stories of the Joker ever told (in my opinion). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
