    Curmudgeony, homophobic, and scared to death of sex - Pete ..KING of the fanboys. How could you do a comic book review show and not have someone like Big Kid Pete?? Back off hatas!

    And after taking the advice of bombardem and checking out Ifanboy, I have to say meeah! Or like Alex, meow-eh. Boring...that's why I like The Stack...the guys are funny and don't ramble...professionals if you will.

    With Ultimate this and Year One that, theirs no comic book characters left to retcon. Though I would like to see some more crappy Image characters retconed by decent writers. It's happen before, but it's yet to work.

    Second best episode ever! What a great question! I'm always trying to think of an interesting question to ask that isn't "What superhero would you be and why?" Happy V-Day!

    Awesome opening - I got a real shock and thrill to see A Comicbook Orange live again - even if y'all kicked Rudy out a second later. Is there any hope that A Comicbook Orange might return in some form? Damn but I miss that show!!!

    Hey, I didn't hate the clone saga! Just didn't like the side order of retcon they served with it. The concept of redeeming the whole debacle sounds awesome (I'm personally a huge fan of Ben Reilly as a character, thought he had enormous potential), but I don't think Marvel could EVER do it right, regardless of who they got on board.

    I dont understand why you guys review the titles you do half the time. Can we sue for false advertising in your break commercial? It says go to pulpsecret.com for reviews and commentary on todays top comics, but instead I see you review and comment on crap like a Nova Annual? C'mon, Nova? Tiny Titans? The Simon Dark would have been cool if you had actually explained who he is, and what he does. Why waste our 3 minutes of book reviews on crap? If the show is only going to be 10 minutes long then review and comment on interesting or important things for gods sake.

    I wanna read rattlerattle shiny object! Dont dis that!

    Seriously though, first time in a long time I loved the whole episode and wanted to read all the comics you showed today. Maybe not Tiny Titans though...that could be a free web comic, seriously why is this out in mainstream?

    But yeah great show and nice forshaowing for the return of Comicbook Orange. But I still agree with Bom, the format should change and the show still needs to be longer...Other then that I still watch this show every week.

  • TheNextChampion (anon) wrote on February 14, 4:03 pm:
    Actually just read Bom's comment and I do have to agree. Although I did state I wanted to read your issues you reviewed...Sorry he isnt a big fan of Nova like I am...

    I still gotta say, there is no reason not to have this show longer. If you are going to review titles, maybe talking about it more then just 2 minutes would be better. It's not like I have a favorite from you guys, ign, or ifanboy..your all different when it comes to reviews. But it just seems like the competition goes out to detail the reviews while you guys make jokes and barely talk about the comic.

    I still liked today's show though, but I have to agree with Bom 100% on his comments.

    I don't see a reason for "reconning?" (Is that a word?) Why not just start a new series with the same character. Also I may be in the minority here, but I find that long story arcs put me off. I'm not going to start collecting something at issue number four zillion and twelve. I don't like how some comics have no foreseeable ending that the characters never evolve or age. Why not instead of just reboot the series or start another universe. I also would date Catwoman I know it’s cliché but I got a thing for the leather.

    "Baby Pete loves clones." I hope someone puts that on a T-shirt. I'd buy one.

    On another topic — I used to love getting to the back of "Wizard" every month and reading their critiques of trades, but they've almost completely dumped that in favor of generic plot outlines. What do you guys thing of the swap? And is there any chance you guys could ever say what trades to pick up? Thanks!

    I think Pete needs to work on being comfortable in his sexuality. is there something you are not telling us Pete? You seem to be try a little too hard to make sure we know you are not into guys.....hmmm.
    Agree with your analysis of Simon dark by the way, a solid story that is getting very very interesting.

    I know everyone loves the goofy antics of the show, really its the only reason to watch it. If you want to see how a review SHOULD be done though, watch G4's Fresh Ink.
    http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/tag/34/Comics.html
    This woman really knows not only how to give a review, but how to pick which books to review. She picks the important titles of the week, regardless of publisher. She reads the books, understands the storylines to date, and is obviously a fan without being a fanboy. The boys could take a lesson from her on video journalism. I also love their use of book artwork during the review, almost giving the books life. Everyone should add this show to their favorites and watch it every week.

    you should review web comics. I mean I doubt Penny-Arcade.com needs reviewing but something like www.freakangels.com by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Paul Duffield would be cool

    I hear all about Marvel, DC, and American books on your show, and I like you show, but would you please review books like Naruto, or Bleach, or Diary of a Wimpy Kid? What about other Manga, or European books that are cutting edge? Keep me current and diverse! Oh, and I did some research, Naruto is the top selling book on Publishers Weekly the last 6 months running! There isn't a single Marvel book that can boast that. WHY is Naruto so popular? What does this book have going for it?

    Thanks,
    Greg Mayer

    Yeah cause when you put it in caps...you sound like a responsible man we should listen too lol

    Hey I'm usually 99% against what Bom says, but I agree with him on this. Format needs to change, picking of important titles need to happen, and overall just a larger program. Ign and Ifanboy does reviews alot better and in depth then what Stack is offering right now.

    Sorry you guys cant handle that but I think it's true.

    I'm fine with constructive criticism but every week this idiot wrights negative comments with no suggestions as to how they make the show better. We don’t need the same “this sucks fix it” comment every show. I like the light heartedness oh the show, sure they could improve in areas but I don’t need to hear about it every time I read the comments

Comic Book Reviews of Simon Dark #5, Nova Annual #1 and Tiny Titans #1

We've got Newsarama Reviews of three more books in this episode. We're definitely recommending the very dark Simon Dark #5. There's lots of great qualities about this issue plus the art is really enjoyable.

As for Nova Annual #1, we felt this was a well written annual that continues to move the story along in the Annihilation Conquest series.

We also got our hands on the cute and cuddly Tiny Titans #1. We absolutely loved the cartoony style and it's definitely an enjoyable issue for all ages.

Then in the Speed Round we review Ubu Bubu #1, Maintenance #8, Abe Sapien #1, Nightwing #141, and All New Atom #20.

In our mailbag, a viewer asks if we could pull a "Quesada" (Like the Amazing Spider-Man Brand New Day series) and retcon any character or team, what would we do? Hear what Alex, Justin and Pete have to say about this.
