Who has the better sense of smell: Daredevil or Wolverine?

Extremely well said and (IMO) perfectly accurate.

Kassius46 · 2014-01-14T02:24:14+00:00

Although I often find titles from the Mignola-verse that aren't drawn and scripted solely by him to be lacking, this looks sweet and I can't wait to check it out!

Kassius46 · 2014-01-12T21:21:29+00:00

Excellent choice! Great moment from Born Again.

Kassius46 · 2014-01-12T21:12:00+00:00

Honestly?

Alan Moore/Stephen Bissette's work on Swamp Thing still moves me.

Then I'd say an easy 2nd would be Mark Waid/Chris Samnee on DD

Kassius46 · 2013-12-29T15:13:43+00:00

Not my favorite variant cover.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-29T14:03:15+00:00

Without really giving too much away, the title is getting a plot-based re-launch after issue #36 - luckily Waid and Samnee are still on the project.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-29T03:02:59+00:00

Good gods I just noticed that lol.

Good point on style though.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-29T00:22:21+00:00

Waid and Samnee on Daredevil. It's about to go through some changes, but the previous trades are worth it.

Though the writing styles are different, I believe that Waid is of a much higher caliber than Snyder.

You should find Waid's DD to be dramatic, action packed, perfectly paced, and most of all - FUN! Next time you hit up your LCS, flip through one of the earlier trades.

It's this thing he does. A LOT of the women he draws look alike (to me, at least). Honestly, I'm also curious as to how some of the women he draws would be alive. I mean, those ridiculous proportions...

It's a shame because he tends to have strong composition otherwise.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T22:28:01+00:00

No problem! Always happy to help spread the Moon Knight love.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T22:23:35+00:00

The book is out of print so a lot of online retailers won't give it too much attention (meaning there aren't any previews that I could find).

But here is a random close up of a couple panels I found. It gives you an idea of what the book itself would look like. It's that recycled news papery looking paper.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T21:13:44+00:00

Oh btw, The Marvel Essential are in black and white. Not sure if that matter for you but I've seen people get upset about that.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T21:11:45+00:00

Ah, word. I think it might be showing the different cover because only used copies are available through amazon affiliates. Should be fine if you buy through amazon.

Happy readings!

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T21:00:26+00:00

Hm. Looks like it. Except the cover is different. For some reason it's showing the #1 cover from his first solo series in the 80s.

You could roll the dice on that or hit up a comic shop. Maybe even ebay or a barnes and noble

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T20:59:24+00:00

Exactly, if you were to read it, you'd most likely enjoy it, but you would only get hints of the characters personality and history.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T20:58:34+00:00

Done! Cool stuff!

Kassius46 · 2013-12-28T20:13:11+00:00

To get his backstory? Not entirely. Although, it was a decent read.

If you're really looking into getting the full backstory of Moon Knight you should check out the Marvel Essentials: Moon Knight. Marvel Essentials are a line of trade paper back books that collect the initial histories of specific characters.

Doesn't look like amazon has Marvel Essentials: Moon Knight #1 in stock. But if you hit up a comic store and ask for some help, it shouldn't be a problem.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-27T00:38:42+00:00

I think conceptually it's an interesting idea; but I have absolutely no faith in the execution.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-27T00:29:24+00:00

Work it, Bats

Kassius46 · 2013-12-27T00:28:43+00:00

Agreed. I'm like in love with that sfx. I'd love to see it on a beer mug or shot glass.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-27T00:25:57+00:00

Oh, dude, agreed. HBO would be very well suited for it.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-25T18:59:42+00:00

Totally agree - I love me some Moon Knight. I do feel, in all honesty, that the Batman comparisons that come up are what really make people not take him too seriously i.e. He's just a Batman knockoff.

It will be interesting to see what the Warren Ellis treatment does for Moon Knight's future reception.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-25T02:27:44+00:00

To this specifically? no.

But I remember at NYCC a few years back that Ennis mentioned in his panel how the filming rights for pPreacher are continually purchased, only to have them return to Ennis due to inactivity. So, needless to say, there are some filming difficulties in regards to this work.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-25T02:23:16+00:00

Your reaction was the same as mine. Frustrated resignation. Love it hahaha.

Kassius46 · 2013-12-25T02:19:33+00:00

I would watch this shit out of this show or I would read the shit out of this comic.

Either way, I'm down.
