The Letters Page
As we've mentioned before, there's way too much mail for us to answer in the shows, so we'll be answering some of it right here on the blog. As always, thanks for sending in your questions, and please keep shooting them over to tips@pulpsecret.com, call them in to 888-841-7549, or post a video response on YouTube!
Ryan asks:
Are you guys impressed with Umbrella Academy?Hey Ryan, we definitely are. We've talked about it a bunch on the show before, but Umbrella Academy is great art, and great writing. The best part is, it feels like a Grant Morrison book, without also feeling like a knock-off. I'm completely confident the title is going to wrap-up nicely, and I'm looking forward to more stories from Gerard Way.
Cpt. Nameless sez:
I was wondering if you ever read web-comics? if so which ones do you read, and which ones would you like to see in print form?I'm sad to say, I don't read a lot of 'em... I do like xkcd a lot, and check in on toothpaste for dinner. Also, Achewood is, of course, brilliant. I was actually pretty excited to see The Perry Bible Fellowship put out "The Trial of Colonel Sweeto," so without avoiding your question, I would say that would have been my choice for web to print, if it hadn't just happened. What web-comics does everybody else read? You guys answer this question for me, please.
Keith offers:
I stumbled upon your show at Newsarama, and i'm really digging it. I'm writing to you because I also work on an online webisode series called "Hero Envy" its a comedy about the geek culture done through the eyes of four geeks.Thanks for sending on the link Keith, and keep it up. We need more fun, geek focused shows on the web (seriously).
Max Wonders:
Hey, love your show. Do really believe that marvel did a good enough job of branching out to the younger audiences by making the Marvel Adventures series, and do you think DC will do something to try to broaded theirs as well?While I don't usually pick up the Marvel Adventures line myself (as, you know, it's not aimed at me), whenever I have read it, I've been impressed by the fun, well, adventures, inside. It's a great line, and I do think they've been both critically and commercially successful with it. And DC does have an all-ages line, the Johnny DC imprint. It's usually tied into their shows, rather than having a separate universe, but they're also a lot of fun, and worth checking out. Now, we just need Young Image, and Dark Horse Kidz, and then we'd really be talking (I'd love to see an all-ages Fear Agent, wouldn't you?)
Ryan asks:
Is the Daredevil hardcover of the Frank Miller years worth buying? I recently started reading Daredevil, and am hooked on it, but was wondering if I should check this book out because I hear it is amazing. I just thought I'd ask you guys because I'm big fan of the show.Absolutely, unequivocally, yes. I haven't actually been a big fan of Daredevil (no particular reason, just never picked it up), but after reading Bendis and Brubaker's solid runs, I went back and checked out the Frank Miller stuff, and it's fantastic. You can actually see his style developing over the course of his run, and the stories and characters he set up are still reverberating throughout the title. This is a must have.letters, page
