Hey is anyone read any good comics lately? I have been getting into the new Astonishing X-Men books. Joss Whedon is doing a pretty good job. I reccommend them.

they are good, but not as classic as Grant Morrison's run in New X-men

This is a little O.T., but Joss Whedon is supposed to be at this weekend's(?) Comic-Con. Looks like he's going to be showing clips from his new movie.

Preacher still is the best comic I've ever read.
A close second would be Peter David's run on Incredible Hulk,after he left the book tanked bad.

The man has no vision and is completely out of touch with what people want to see.
He destroys everything he touches.
I was at an event he attended and people were spitting on him,it was great.

Yeah its was a great show. The movie should be great to watch. I'm glad he's keeping all of the characters in. I was afrarid that he'd drop Sheparhd Book for some reason.

I couldn't really get into the Buffy series, but I know some people who you could basically call "Whedonists". They were a "little" to into the program.

I used to collect X-Men and the Uncanny X-Men. I started collecting when Gambit returned, and Prof. Xavier was missing, and they had to fight Cerebrus. It was awesome. After that, I either lost interest or just didn't have the money.

I really liked Firefly and also Angel. I too skipped out on the Buffy series but I think that Angel was great.

i guess i would fall into the whedonists category, i think anything the man touches is gold. even titan a.e., which i loved before i even knew he wrote the screenplay for.

I'm don't mean to use that term as derogatory (sp?), but this couple never miss an epsiode of his shows (though I don't think they liked Firefly as they never talk about it, must check on that), they turn off the ringer on the phone, hold buffy/angel weekends where they play tapes of the shows, even writing fanfiction.

I did employ similar tactics and got them hooked on Farscape :biggrin:
