Hey, Joe: one of your writers bullied a Nexus editor into altering the content of a review he didn’t like. If you wanna apologize for THAT, we’re waiting…

It’s a New Year, and we are ready for more of I’M JUST SAYIN’! Time to do this thing for Twenty-Ten!

A finale that was hardly a finale, Daredevil gets ready to do something stupid and Clone Saga #3. That’s in this edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’ – where the #1 Rule is RESPECT THE COMICS!

The inevitable wait between issues of Phonogram: The Singles Club means that actually finally buying the comic has become a ritual. Don’t peek at the comic until safely home, pick some appropriate music, and squeeze every single possible piece of goodness that I can out of those 32 pages. Have a glorious half-hour, bathe in [...]

Iron Fists, Armed Monkeys, Multi-armed ping pong and the 800-Number of Fate RETURNS – all here in this, the 75th edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’. C’mon in and get with this!

Of course, the rest of this miniseries may make up for this lackluster kick-off, but if you ask me, this is exactly why you don’t mess around with Marvel continuity, and this is exactly why a story like SPIDER-MAN: CLONE SAGA – with no sign of a WHAT IF…? banner, mind you! – has all the appearances of a waste of time and paper for any and everyone involved. WHAT HAPPENED IS WHAT HAPPENED, and that must be respected. Because sometimes, even with the most flawed of storylines, there are some things that were executed the right way the first time around.

Hey everybody – we’re back with another edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’, and to open, I’d like to make the following plea to Marvel Comics: either stop giving Greg Land work or make him draw.

I wonder if that’s how each Editor in Chief at Marvel winds up with the job, or is that just wishful thinking for some of our more…PASSIONATE fans out there? Mr. Q – I’m lookin’ in your direction, buddy…

We’re back with our latest edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’ – got some more comic talk for ya and the latest CHI-TOWN SHOUT OUT, right here!

I don’t doubt for a second that when he wrote that sequence, Grant Morrison was more than happy to let you the reader plug in whatever you think the “sexy disco hot” music was that the Professor clicked on during his twisted little display. I couldn’t help but imagine Lady Gaga when I read that scene myself, and that’s mainly because for me, there’s no avoiding her. We’re only allowed to listen to Top 40 Pop stations at work, so yeah…that’s me tied to that chair with a growing ball of molten violence brewing in my gut. And if you don’t think it’s that big of a deal, being forced to listen to a Lady Gaga track every twenty minutes, consider this: five days out of the week, my ears itch and it burns when I hear.

I have to say – considering the only thing that’s supposed to have changed since NO GOOD REASON came about, is that a single marriage was lifted out of history like a stain from a laundry detergent commerical – it’s interesting to me that any such explanations are even necessary. Ah well – in any case, maybe I can at least give credit to the Brain Trust where it’s due, for FINALLY presenting us with a scenario that necessitates a single Peter Parker, even if it took roughly eighteen months to do so. Because after all, what man gets so discombobulated at the sight of HIS OWN WIFE, that he then proceeds to get completely hammered and sleep with his roommate? Not only do I have the answer to that question, but I use the word “kerfuffle” for the first time in my life. Come get your click on!

A quick word about Michael Jackson seems in order, along with a few recommendations from my readings this week – we’re back with another edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’… right here!

Think about it; we ALL have Morrison stories that we like, and Morrison stories that we don’t like, so really – what other factor could there be? When Grant Morrison is being reined in where he needs to be reined in, it’s like butter in four colors. When he’s not – say perhaps, he’s been paired with an editor who might be a little too starstruck to do his or her (most likely HIS)job, well…let me ask you this: y’ever tried discussing THE X-FILES with a stroke victim?

Neither have I, but I’ll bet you a Happy Meal that’s what it’s like.

Since when does Spider-Man freak out just because he can’t see? KNEE-JERK REACTION THEATRE attempts to answer that question, and we also give props to a fine version of BATMAN: THE END this week on I’M JUST SAYIN’…

I think in this day and age, we as entertainment consumers in general have to accept that not everything we enjoy is going to last as long as we might like. So as much as some of us might’ve liked to have had Dan Slott on SHE-HULK even to this day, it’s better that we had him for as long as we did get, instead of not at all…

…but while we should be grateful for those comics that grace our shelves for just a little while, that doesn’t mean we can’t give a shout-out for those that deserve to be around just a wee bit longer than they will. For example, what about BOOM STUDIO’s THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK? This one’s only getting four issues, and if you’re a fan of the old TV show like I was, and have read either of the first two, you’re probably thinking the same thing I am: just FOUR?! Can’t we at least get twelve? SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT got twelve issues, and that story DOESN’T EVEN COUNT!

This week is a decidedly non-human edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’…, as we give our props to turtles, robots, cats, mice and radioactive spider-pigs this week – also, I’m testing out a new sig and I’d like your opinion…c’mon in and get some of this, comic book heads! In the name of Stan, I command it!

Hi there folks, my name’s Ryan Andrew Brandt and I’m a friend of Greg’s, due to our mutual love of comics, writing, comedy and wrestling. I bribed him enough money – er, he was gracious enough to let me on here to discuss my thoughts on THE FLASH: REBIRTH#1.

In short: It sucks.

Heydi-hey, comic book heads! We’re here and we’re fashionably late with this week’s edition of I’M JUST SAYIN’……I’d tell you I was having another long week full of crap that kept getting in the way of my finishing up this week’s edition up until now, but the truth of the situation is that I sat on this one for a few days on purpose, just so Part Two of “Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?” would arrive ahead of SOMETHING. That’s me all over, folks – generous to a fault!

But I do wanna do something a little different; I’ve got a special guest writer for you this time around, as we are not quite done talking about THE FLASH: REBIRTH yet. But first, I wanna get a few things out there…

Grey and Glazer’s exciting adventures through Diamond’s Solicits

Now…what can we say about THE FLASH: REBIRTH?…you know how when you were a kid playing Little League, it was your turn at bat, and there were maybe one or two of your buddies in scoring position? And you can FEEL the moment, right? You want nothing more than to get one good pitch hanging right over the plate so you can send that ball screaming into No Man’s Land…but what you actually manage to do is send a dribbling grounder right into the first baseman’s waiting glove?

That’s what THE FLASH: REBIRTH #1 was – a slow ground-out to first.
