You've got questions. I've got answers.
Josh, again:
Boxers or briefs? Paper or plastic? Plastic boxers or paper briefs?
Holograms.
Doug's got a trilogy of terror:
What's your favorite run on a comic?
Favorite Run: Damn, that's hard. I can pick two easily - Kirby's Jimmy Olsen run for his completely mental reassembly of the component parts and Miller's Born Again (or Year One. Damn. This is tough.)
Favorite Single Issue:
Superman vs Muhammad Ali. Seriously. That or Fantastic Four #51, "This Man, This Monster"
Least favorite comic of all time?
New Mutants - whichever issue Rob Liefeld started with. Fuck you, Liefeld.
Who needs a good cockpunching?
Rob Liefeld. George W Bush. Dick Cheney. Whoever came up with those new Old Navy Ads where people get Denim Fever Or Whatever.
Maggie goes straight to the nerd in me:
Pick one: Byrne/Claremount/Cockrum (please show your work)
Ugh. You know what, I admire Cockrum's body of work, but he's not my favorite artist. Byrne's such a pretentious twat that even if I like his Fantastic Four, I'd add him to the Cockpunch list, right next to Claremont. Ugh, ugh, ugh. Cockrum. OK. Yeah.
Amy, outside of being my separated twin, demands:
What's your favorite Gibson novel? If, of course, it isn't Neuromancer.
Pattern Recognition. Damn, I loved that book
Katie (which one? I know at least four) wants to know:
What is your favorite season in Boston? How about where you grew up? (I realize it's probably gorgeous out there right now, treewise).
Fall in both places. This has been a bit more melancholic of a season for me than usual, but it's still got some lovely moments.
Aaron decides to avoid asking me about my sexual proclivities (monstrous and fearsome, lad) with this excellent question:
After Jack, Will Eisner, and Steve Ditko, and putting Bob Kane, Joe, and Jerry in a distinct category who would you say are the five NEXT most important comics artists/creators of all time?
Most Important (Not Counting My Personal Tastes) In No Particular Order:
1. Howard Chaykin
2. Todd McFarlane
3. Joe Kubert
4. Jack Cole
5. Frank Miller
Special bonus to Rob Liefeld for proving even a spastic who drew with his mouth with no concept of what constitutes a deadline could get a deal
and some comments from previous post...
Dann wants to know:
How did I miss this the first time around?
You were high on glue again, looking for references to the Illuminati
How do I get your replies to my comments mail to me?
You can't. You have to read my damn blog.
When are you going to add my ass to your collaborators list?
I dunno. Whenever. A few people need to be added. Remind me again. Send a donation.
and finally, Scottobear wants to go straight to the heart of things:
Which is better? Monkeys, Zombies, or Pirates?
Monkeys
Why?
Because without monkeys, I would have no joy.
