I got the idea from the now defunct blog "The Nerd Rage Report". The idea is you take a list of comics and state whether they are worth reading, dropping or changing, then state why they are worth reading, dropping or changing. The books the original writers wanted to change were always interesting, keeping this artist, but changing out a writer. Removing both writer and artist for different ones. I think it would be a fun exercise at playing editor. I thought of a possible post the other night. I got the idea from the now defunct blog “The Nerd Rage Report”.

Alternatively, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Gail Simone in general. I’d love to hear what you have to say about Secret Six, assuming you’re reading that book.

Even a link to your old thoughts on digital comics would be a nice reminder, because I don't see a search function and that's a lot of clicking.

I always find it strange when the first prize for a contest is something I wouldn't want, but then they fill out the rest with stuff I would.

Is there any post you've ever made, any opinion you've ever stated, where you look back now and think "Wow, I was SO wrong"? *First prize was a date with Megan Fox.

MarvinAndroid: Just start one. It's really as simple as that. Go to your local comic book store or whatever store sells comics near you and buy a comic or a trade. Read it. Whatever you don't understand or if you have no idea who a character is, then go online and Google the character or comic and read whatever Wiki or independent comic book site pops up. And unless the comic is shit, don't stop reading it, eventually it will make sense (generally speaking). No comic book fan understands everything and knows everything. Pick up back issues or reprints as they become available and when the story strikes you as interesting. It's honestly no more intimidating then anything else. I started reading X-Men comics in the 90s and no comic has more of a crazy, complicated backstory then the X-Men. And I didn't have the Internet. So it pisses me off when people say it's too hard. Start somewhere, keep reading, do a little research and if necessary go to a comic blog or comic related site and ask questions.

I was about to say liveblogging. However I'd like to see you liveblog a movie. Not a new movie, maybe even one you've seen before. Just for giggles. Tongue-in-cheek legal type discussions of Movies/TV. Like why, under the letter of the law, Miss Piggy is a sexual predator. Why John McClane and Axel Foley will never practice law enforcement again. What defense Clark Griswold could use to say he's not a terrorist. I'd also like to see a Hot or Not column...not necessarily written by you but perhaps another one of your contributors. 8D Curse you Lurker.
