    Your thoughts on the hypothetical Return of Weekday Afternoon Cartoons.

    I think restriction on what could be advertised to kids also help contribute to the end of weekday network television show for kids. I think the biggest hope for a new block would be local digital subchannels looking for content.

    The Legend of Korra "And the Winner Is..." Talkback [5/12/12]

    The last action sequence on the roof was phenomenal. It is hard to imagine this was all done for a Saturday morning cartoon.

    Allen Gregory - "Full Blown Maids" - Talkback [11/27]

    This show has real problems. The last episode showed Richard to be a buffoon so there is nothing redeeming about his character. The other secondary characters are good, but they are overwhelmed by two unlikable leads.

    Allen Gregory - "Gay School Dance" - Talkback [11/13]

    Having two jerks on the show with one of them being the lead is a really bad idea. They are not even fun jerks as they come off as bullies half the time. There are some characters and moments that stand out, but the general attitude needs a big shift.

    "Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9" Series Talkback (Spoilers)

    I have enjoyed the beginning of the new season. I think they have shown the threats that are coming, but the buildup they are doing is nice. After Japan, the last series really went off the wheels. This series look like it is going back to its base.

    Young Justice "Revelation" Talkback (Spoilers)

    I enjoyed the episode a lot. I liked the design of the Joker, but the voice needs some work. Or at least the dialog needs work. My problem was The Joker was not really sinster, and he wasn't really funny.

    American Dad - "Hot Water" - Talkback (Spoilers) [9/25]

    I thought the episode was great. I am a sucker for a good musical episode.

    Marvel Press Release: First Look at STEVE ROGERS: SUPER-SOLDIER ANNUAL #1

    I will be picking up the annuals. I like the idea they are using some of the groundwork DNA laid down in the cosmic corner of Marvel.

    "Uncanny X-Men" Series Talkack (Spoilers)

    I am sure you will find a lot of people who will agree, but I have to say I thought his work in Second Coming was pretty good. I do have to say his work is generally a bit to static to work for some of the issues he is given to do.

    Marvel .1 "A new age begins"

    I have no problem with the program. I see nothing wrong with Marvel trying to reach out to entice a new reader. So far I am only picking up the .1 for the titles I was already buying, but I was thinking about picking up a couple more.

    Multiparters/storylines that had self contained stories.

    Both Avengers Academy and its predecessor Avengers: The Initiative do a good job telling a complete story in one issue while continuing on broader story points.

    TALKBACK - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - "Nightsisters" - [1/7]

    The Clone Wars continues to be one of the best shows on television. I loved the fight sequence between Count Dokou and the Sisters. The only fault is knowing Dokou was not going to die. I thought the back story on Ventress was a nice insight into the character. This is a great way to start...

    Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (Season 8) #32-35 "Twilight" Talkback (Spoilers)

    I do not hate the book, but I do not like the direction they went with after Japan. I thought they lost their way, and shoehorned in a "Big Bad" when they had a cool concept at the start. I think the series was hurt by not having one writer to tell a coherent story.

    Young Justice "Independence Day, Parts 1 & 2" Talkback (Spoilers)

    For me this show is the Teen Titans show I wanted before, and initially after the previous Teen Titans show came out. This is the Timmverse treatment of these classic characters. I enjoyed the show a lot. My only two gripes were I did not really did the voice for Robin immediately. I am sure...

    C&C - The Venture Bros. - "Operation P.R.O.M." [11/21]

    I liked the episode. The thing I liked that I did not see mentioned was Hank, Dean, and Dermott doing the Team Venture sign which is cool considering the revelation a few episodes ago. I did feel like this would make a good series end epsiode.

    Straczynski off Superman, Wonder Woman to focus on Earth-One Follow-Up

    I am not reading any of the titles currently, but I was reading Wonder Woman before JMS came aboard. I dropped the book with issue 600 so while it is kind of annoying that Gail Simone's run was interrupted for what turns out to be six issues I am not that upset about it.

    Family Guy - "Excellence in Broadcasting" - Talkback [10/3]

    I lasted about eight minutes into the show and then I decided this was not going to work for me so I changed the station. I am not really sure what the thought process here was, but it did not make for a funny episode, IMO.

    "Mass Effect 2" Talkback(Spoilers)

    Just because EA published the PC version does not mean Microsoft still does not have exclusive publishing rights for the consoles.

    Your choices from two will still go in to the choices for 3. You might not get the full experience, but you still get something.

    Microsoft was not the Publisher for Ninja Gaiden. Techmo was the publisher.

    "Mass Effect 2" Talkback(Spoilers)

    EA may own the ip, but Microsoft mostly likely still has the publishing rights to Mass Effect 1. I highly doubt Microsoft would come out with a statement that strong if they did not have publishing rights for the first game locked up.

    Can Comics Compete With Today's Novels?

    I think the premise of this argument is kind of off. Most novels do not make money, they do not sell more than the average comic, and are generally not successful. It would be like asking why can't every comic book character be as successful as Batman. We are in the middle of the most...

    Superheros with kids

    Cyclops is the father of Cable and the alternative timeline father of Rachel Summers. Hulk has another son named Hiro-Kala who is Skaar's twin brother. He is also the alternative timeline father of Lyra.

    Microsoft Kinect [360] (formerly Natal) Discussion

    The price is still cheaper than buying two Move controllers and Navigators. Plus, although it is slightly anecdotal Kinect has been either the number 1 or 2 item in Video Games at Amazon since it was up on the site even at the $150 price. WiiFit cost $99 bucks and millions of people bought that.

    C&C - The Boondocks - "Fundraiser" [6/13]

    This episode was hilarious from start to finish. The scene where Riley tells of English guy and tells him where he stick his offer was epic.

    Joe Quesada promoted to Marvel CCO

    The Avengers are a big deal because Marvel made them a big deal. There could have been any number of writers who would have taken the Avengers to where they are now. Marvel needs to take more control of the Avengers away from Bendis. He is not suited to writing those type of stories.

    Comic book ads on TV?! What a concept!

    It is a really cool idea for DC to promote Fables because it is already an established long tail product. Super-hero comics could work, but their serial nature does not lend itself to a commercial like this. Fables is essentially a trade series for many people so it makes some sense to promote...

    Family Guy - "Brian & Stewie" - Talkback [5/2]

    He was keeping a dead bird in safety deposit box. I doubt smell would have been that big of a problem.

    Family Guy - "Brian & Stewie" - Talkback [5/2]

    Why on earth would he eat Stewie's poop? I do not think anyone is saying it was boring. The scene was unnecessary.

    Family Guy - "Brian & Stewie" - Talkback [5/2]

    Except that since they read from the book a the end of episodes that means they had something to use to dispose of the poo without Brian eating it. Plus, they had the safety deposit box to put stuff in. The logic does not make a ton of sense.

    Family Guy - "Brian & Stewie" - Talkback [5/2]

    Agreed. I did pretty much the same thing. I muted much of the second act. The friend I was watching the show with bailed and starting to watch something else. I am not sure why they included the poop stuff. They did not need it. It was not funny. It seemed to only be designed to get a rise...

    "G.I. Joe" General Comic Book Talkback (Spoilers)

    I thought G.I. Joe: Cobra was great. I would recommend the book to almost anyone especially if you enjoy spy stuff or Gage's work in general.

    Comics on the iPad? UPDATE: Now available on Google Chrome!!

    Digital comics are the future. The Ipad is still to expensive to make a difference, but when devices are available for $200 or less I think we will start to see the tide turning. There are more devices coming in the marketplace that will give consumers choice. I have over $3000 comics, but...

    "Siege" Mini-Series & Crossover Talkback (Spoilers)

    The dialog for issue 3 was really really bad. The art was gorgeous so that helped to redeemed the bad plotting somewhat.

    Invincible Iron Man #8-24 "World's Most Wanted/Stark Disassembled" Talkback(Spoilers)

    I do not exactly like the idea. I thought Tony was right during Civil War, and I do not want him to all of a sudden flip to the other side because of this. I would not mind if past Tony does not completely agree with everything he did, but I would like a scene showing him and Steve talking. At...

    Gail Simone Leaving "Wonder Woman" (3/8/10 Update: JMS To Take Over Title)

    How come Wonder Woman doesn't sell?

    The Amazons Attack thing was a second tier, at best. The Maxwell Lord stuff was years ago at this point.

    The WWE 2010 Cuts Thread

    It makes more sense that she did not do that well so they feel they can cut her without looking too bad that she will be television for weeks wasting any bump in her public profile.
