  1. Box Office Mojo is just preparing itself for Interstellar. When Interstellar begins, the Box Office Mojo rises.
  2. These kind of fanboys seem to be much rarer, and there's the matter of what is and isn't a poor decision varying from person to person. Well, there's no accounting for taste. You can't really help it if you just don't like something. As for me, other than some editorial problems at DC, both companies are doing well enough. Lots of good books from both publishers. DC's got Action Comics, Batman, Aquaman, Batman/Superman, Astro City, Batman '66, Superman, Coffin Hill, Deadboy Detectives, Fables, Fairest, Swamp Thing, Justice League United, Justice League (Forever Evil really gave the series a shot in the arm), Grayson, Red Lanterns, Wonder Woman (though it'll drop in quality pretty soon), Sinestro, Multiversity, Superman Unchained (ending with the next issue), Sandman Overture (the best comic coming out right now from any publisher), Gotham Academy, and if the previews are anything to go by, Batgirl (coming out next week), then we've also got the upcoming Secret Six by Gail Simone. Marvel's got Uncanny Avengers, Thor, The Death of Wolverine (the build-up sucked, but the actual mini has been good), New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier, Captain America (new volume is launching, but it's got the same writer), Daredevil, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, The Superior Foes of Spider-Man (ending next month), Hawkeye, All New Invaders, Black Widow, Elektra, Loki: Agent of Asgard, She-Hulk, Storm, then we've got a S.H.I.E.L.D series coming from Mark Waid, Tom Taylor's Iron Man, and the Angela series involving Kieron Gillen. There are things I wish they would do differently (like getting a better editor for the Superman books, better treatment of the New Gods, getting Bendis away from the X-books, etc), but I can't fault either for a lack of good comics.
  3. I hope that wasn't directed at me, as I've criticized various comic decisions made by both Marvel and DC, like Byrne's Superman reboot, and John's Darkseid, pretty much everything Starlin related, World War Hulk, etc.
  4. The first issue was pretty good, but it was a set-up issue. We only see new Thor in the last two pages. Anyway, got to love the pathetic "I just might stop reading comics altogether" crowd.
  5. Amazing film. This was the first Mallick film I ever saw, and it was unlike anything I had seen before. I'm not good with words, so I'll let Scorsese and Ebert speak for me.
  6. They complained about Wonder Woman having pants, using a design from a specific storyline from three years ago. I could forgive them for saying there's never been a male "Wonder Woman", since that's more obscure, but the pants thing, come on.
  7. Well, the people upset about the new Thor can rest easy knowing that FOX News is on their side.
  8. Don't act like you don't spend every night spanking it to Snoopy.
  9. They could manage with the Lobdell version. But no way with the Claremont version.
  10. Characters can be overly sexualized in any medium. Comics aren't an exception, and shouldn't be free from that criticism.
  11. The comic book version of Big Hero Six, and all the original characters that make up the team suck. I'm pretty sure the movie versions are going to be a huge improvement.
  12. Book Four begins on October 3rd of this year. Yeah, no joke.
  13. While not as consistent as stuff that's strictly related to the comic book side of things, I wouldn't say his sources suck regarding other things. If I'm remembering correctly, he broke some character details for Episode VII, Disney/Panini conflict, Karl Urban as Judge Dredd, etc. I wouldn't rule this out as untrue, especially since he was contacted by people from the Marvel Comics side of things.
  14. That was just reporting what other outlets had reported. When it comes to Rich Johnston getting stuff directly from his sources, he's been right most of the time. Breaking stories like the Death of Wolverine a year before it was solicited, Romita Jr's move to DC and taking art duties on Superman, Marvel publishing a Miracleman annual with a story by Grant Morrison, DC's Blood Moon event, Superman "killing" Dr. Light, everything do with Before Watchmen, Andy Diggle leaving Action Comics, The New 52, One More Day, the Superman/Wonder Woman romance, David Finch on Wonder Woman, several of the Marvel Now! creative teams, Bendis on Guardians of the Galaxy, Geoff Johns leaving Aquaman, Loeb on Nova, etc. Off the top of my head, I can think of maybe three or four things that he's been wrong about.
  15. From my experience, more like 9/10. They've rare;y been wrong, especially when it comes to the comic side of things.
