That's what I hated about the Bloodstrike review. It was all about bashing the artwork and Liefeld. If it wasn't about those, then you wouldn't have a review.<br />And stop being so conservative about what can make a character a hero or a villain, just because of what he/she originally started out as. You are fine with Mark Millar writing about Superman becoming a Communist, but not about Moench imagining Catwoman as a hero?

The big thing with it is that it's a Christian comic, which may cause some problems. After all, religion is a touchy subject, and therefore hard to parody.

Ray Palmer primarily because of Countdown, Cry for Justice and Identity Crisis.

I mean it could work but the main selling points being your past reviews. . . I'm a bit iffy.<br /><br />If it were at all possible to get a DVD archive of your past reviews I'd be more likely to purchase it. As it is the DVD sounds like it would be more trouble than it might be worth.<br /><br />I just thought of something. What might be more fun would be an adventure involving your Alternates. All the ones not from copyrighted sources could likely end up in a situation involving your disappearance or some other contrivance. Just something to explore their characters more would be interesting. . . Then again that would be even more work.<br /><br />I don't have any really good ideas beyond asking you to please consider looking up a comic blue book to help with more appropriate resale prices for the comics you are going to be selling. In addition to having been on your show I think you are under selling them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-11833674640837712242012-08-01T21:47:56.051-05:002012-08-01T21:47:56.051-05:00The audio for the Untold Legends of Batman comics ...The audio for the Untold Legends of Batman comics are on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K92KciDNWoY&feature=share&list=PL0B9FDC887ACA0C39" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>.<br /><br />I've heard that there are emulators for others systems (e.g., SNES) that you can run on PSP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-39715403236958655562012-08-01T19:30:37.560-05:002012-08-01T19:30:37.560-05:00I don't know what Ed or Brad go through for th...I don't know what Ed or Brad go through for their DVDs, but as a filmmaker with no money, my solution has been CreateSpace.com. The only costs you front are some shipping of your DVD to them and a proof copy back to you. Basically, they front all the costs of manufacturing and fulfillment. You just set the sale price for the DVD and you get pure profit from everything. They are owned by Amazon.com, and so, you can sell your products on there as well. However, Amazon takes a larger chunk of the sale price as opposed to the Create Space eStore, but you can still get a good cut of the sale either way. It costs you nothing to sign up for this service. Payouts occur when you reach a $20 commission, and the payouts can be done via PayPal.<br /><br />The quality of the final product is quite good. It's all produced on demand with high quality packaging, full color cover and disc art, shrink wrap, and DVD-Rs. If you're looking for something that costs you practically nothing, and still gives your fans a high quality product, I highly recommend CreateSpace.com. You can also order copies for only $4.95 each plus shipping to sell at Cons. They have some bulk discount rates, too.Nick Michalakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144793581581857142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-1601860114093808132012-08-01T17:24:34.020-05:002012-08-01T17:24:34.020-05:00More Marville...that should be painfully interesti...More Marville...that should be painfully interesting.

Artwork by Jim Balent, the artist on Catwoman's regular title during most of the 1990s who is (in)famous for drawing her with massive boobs.<br /><br />For me personally, Guardian of Gotham is a case of "Yeah, it's not exactly good, but it's so ridiculously over the top I can't bring myself to hating it". Instead of Alfred, Selina has a housekeeper named Brooks. Who is actually dressed like a stereotypical French maid. And shows her ass a lot. There's also heavy hints of lesbian subtext between her and Selina.<br /><br />It's kinda insane.<br /><br />The Joker and Killer Croc are basically the regular versions on steroids.Nevermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287208603537434594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-17574873673670557622012-08-01T11:15:43.518-05:002012-08-01T11:15:43.518-05:00Is the Future Shock #1 review going to be about th...Is the Future Shock #1 review going to be about the 2006 Image FCBD book, the 1982 Gredown book, or the finale to the Ultraverse?<br /><br /> Jeremy.Jeremy A.

The only REAL thing that ever bugged me about the book was the appearance of "the Rangers." It just struck me as somewhat odd that Spidey would team up with Texas-based team of superheroes in Canada. Granted, Alberta shares many to Texas considering that most of Canada's beef and petroleum production occurs in the province (to say nothing of the social conservatism) and the Calgary Stampede attracts competitors from all over North America, I wonder if Alpha Flight was unavailable.<br /><br />Then again, the X-Men first battled Alpha Flight on the Stampede Grounds in Uncanny #121 so maybe it would have been redundant to use them.Pyrodafoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533818927500918513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-9836539637903492632012-08-01T10:15:31.968-05:002012-08-01T10:15:31.968-05:00(If my other post (Starwaredcraft) went through ea...(If my other post (Starwaredcraft) went through earlier than ignore this one)<br /><br />Hey I can't believe it!
