[brighteyes29893]

oh guys I'm a huge fan of you lot!

[Mimekiller]

another amazing episode! Everytime I watch a episode I am always asking myself how much I really actually need gas and food money hahaha

[comiclove5]

"Spoiler,didn't have them to began with" LMAO

[ce2know7]

[chicksinbras]

After Marvel wraps up the current Noir books, they need to just stop.

The only thing i found interesting was that the Vulture ate Uncle Ben...hmmm...wait i take it back...finding out that the Vulture likes steamed rice isnt all that great now that i think about it.

anyway.

great job guys.

On a side note...PETE..tell us why you liked the book. A little more detail and i might check out a few of those. Just hearing you say awsome isnt doing it for me anymore :(

but you still rule! :)

[khalman]

So is that alex in minesweeper the movie? Also, you guys have said some good stuff about trinity in the past. Have you noticed that it started to suck? They've taken something cool and gone nowhere with it. I can't even tell what's going on most of the time.

[ragnorrok]

You guys seem to avoid politics on principle (though I don't know why). But, given the bloodbath Israel has unleashed on the people in Gaza, it's a good moment to mention Joe Sacco's fantastic "Palestine" graphic novel. It's one of the rare comics that was educational for lots of folks in a way that informed their activism in the world. Such a discussion would be way more interesting than 'the art's great' 'this sets things up' type of review.

[bryanss3]

And I agree about X-factor its not bad, but its no where close to as good as it has been. I'm hoping things will pick up when the Baby is born in the next issue.

[bryanss3]

yeah I agree those NOIR books aren't noir they put them in the 40's and are just trying to be Mark Millar-ish with super extreme everything(spoiler) the end reveal of spider-man noir is the vulture ate Ben Parker. it falls flat of the whole noir thing.

[tsujoi]

Yeah, what happened to all your beer?

[CrypticVision]

So what's good about Stormwatch?? I enjoyed the initial PHD run (1-13) and have been missing out on the action lately.

[neshannockfez]

i just wanted to say Loeb ruing 2008

[TheDemonPazuzu]

Could you lads please work on the poor sound? I had to put my headphones on to hear.

[spdrwrtr]

Oh come on, Alex! Spider-man Noir was very interesting! give the title a chance, at least wait until #2 to give up the title.

[calicoboricua83]

anyone has been reading "Age Of Sentry"?

I recommend it you like the old school Marvel 60's storytelling

[sentrybeyondvoid]

(calicoboricua83)

Yep, its a great title. I cant wait to see where the darker tone of the series leads to.

[BlackPhoenix06]

No one is, and for good reason. The most loathed comic book characters usually aren't the most talked about.

[illersz1]

haha... they treat Pete like crap

But its not really funny ...

[mrDC300]

I thought spiderman noir was good...at least worth reading and see what direction it's gonna go. who's with me?

[MrGoodwine]

I just wanna hear Pete say "Pete Smash!" just one time.

[crivelliman]

The show looks better and better each day. Do you think you could add covers and pages from the books you're referring to during the reviews? I missed the green-screen rear-projected images from the Pulp Secret days. Something to think about.

[tehquestion]

Pete loves to say "just" especially in conjunction with "knocking it out of the park"

[MaggotOli]

I saw Alex in Minesweeper the movie

[calicoboricua83]

I KNEW IT!!! Thank god I wasn't the only one that noticed..

I was like "isn't that Alex from The Stack?"

[boymonkeyevil]

why so mean to pete?

[jlsyth]

Not feeling the new graphics and music. Why arent you guys drunk? its normally a lot more fun.

[helpmefindparents]

greatest american hero?

[puklop]

I told you guys what happened to X-factor, a big event killed it. Why would a writer put his all into a book that might be ruined by yet another big event.

[mgeldis84]

that intro song oddly enough has quickly grown on me.

[TehBloggaar]

Pete looks like jezuzfreek777.

[prodigy00073]

No drinking = less funny :(

[HotRodakaMadMax]

when are you guys gonna give me props, i read alot of comic books. i deserve a shout out! =)

[goblue2120]

What is the deal with no drinkin?

[Melville10]

I agree with Pete in regards to limited series not providing a solid ending and how it sucks. When I used to collect monthly issues that had happened to me and I hated it. I was like, "Why bother doing a limited series then?!"

[MakenZero]

MONSTER!!!! I love that damn anime and manga beautiful beautiful beautiful piece of work. Can't wait for the movie, shoot it should be a tv series!

[ofiros123456]

I saw the whole Monster anime, it was great, one of my fav, the manga suppose to be exactly the same so I dont think I'll buy it.

[Guido5595]

I loved X-men and Spider man Noir very much. Noir is set in the Deppression era. Does it matter if Spider man noir doesn't have powers? Batman, Nightwing, and Robin don't have powers. Noir is a Sleeper hit for Marvel. Fraction's X-men suck balls. Diggle's Thunderbolts is fantastic and is better than Ellis even. Really excited for the new team ih Ant man in it.

[saar1707]

Iron Man #8 was good+ i'm very exciting for the future of the series and the rest of Most wanted arc.

also next month War Machine!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WeeklyComicReview]

YOU REVIEWED MADMAN! :D

[WeeklyComicReview]

I really liked the Spiderman Noir book, but I agree with you on X-Men Noir, it didnt do it for me.

[trieze90]

I am reading all 4 wildstorm titles and each is excellent in its own way. Stormwatch was great and I am loving all the back up stories.

[BlackPhoenix06]

OMG what is with the terrible video quality today? No HD?

[agenstuall85]
