Bendis is writing "adult" Avengers stories in NA. In other words, he's giving us up-close-and-personal looks at Hank Pym, Luke Cage, etc. If we were to get "proper super team stories" in every issue, it would be boring. I don't really care to go back to the days of the 70s when f...

The best bang for your entertainment buck continues to be longish novels (weeks worth of reading for 7 or so dollars) or great TV shows like LOST, which are free. As far as comics go, I'll take graphic novels, especially when I can get them at a hefty discount (40 percent or so). Also, the 50-cent b...

This is what is happening in book publishing. Stephen King's sales can offset the money that is lost on that publisher's low-selling literary w...

This is my first post, so I want to thank Bob and John for their excellent show. One comment that I hear a lot on the show is some variation of "it's a shame this title isn't getting more readers." And invariably, its a title I'm not reading, so I'm usually guilty as charged. But for me, t...
