"Varese is finely-portrayed as the in-over-his-head reporter who rises to the occasion, so thanks is due to said writers for superb characterization..."
- Mark Allen

"...the exotic, near-desert setting, and concise and clear story can do nothing but captivate its intended bubble-gum chewing audience."
- Michael Vance

Action Comics Annual #1

"...Batman is also exactly what he should be; a dark vigilante, a creature of the night, who, appropriately enough, seems not the least bit out of place hunting vampires." - Mark Allen

Alan Moore's Writing For Comics Part 1

"Conflicting opinions are the stuff of style; without them, everyone would write exactly the same way. If you should choose to write exactly as does Moore after reading his essay, you will have missed his point completely." - Michael Vance

Paycheck Screening Quiz/Contest
Monday, December 22nd @ 7:00pm
Michael Jennings is being hunted, but he doesn't know why. A world-famous genius hired by high-tech corporations for specialized top-secret projects, Jennings routinely has his memory erased once a job is completed so as not to divulge any company secrets. Highly paid for his work, he expects to earn eight figures for his latest three-year project, but upon finishing the work, instead of a big paycheck, he is given an envelope full of random objects and told that he has agreed to forfeit all payment. With his memory erased per his contract, Jennings has no defense, until he discovers that the objects are clues to his past. Now, with the help of Rachel, the woman he has worked with and loved for the last three years, Jennings is in a race against time to put the pieces of his past together... before his previous employers have him killed.

Return of the King News

The movie currently runs about 3.5 hours and Jackson relates in the article that there is over an hour of additional scenes that could make it to the DVD. I'm not sure that many people will have the fortitude to sit still for the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, the movie is fantastic, but it is too long. Any movie over 2.5 hours without an intermission can be torture, especially when you get the large drink at the concession stand. I heard a story on the radio praising Jackson for saving New Line Pictures with this trilogy. After what should have been the end of the movie - when the King is crowned - I wondered who was going to save my bladder.

"...a very "Disney" look, the style is beautifully appealing, and just plain fun!" - Mark Allen

"...acerbic and counter-cultural by its own admission, praising little published in comics while professing a deep love of the medium." - Michael Vance
