I'm loving a lot of the books you guys do, but I often wonder if it's just me. I know this is probably impossible for you to answer, but are there any books you think need extra help in sales? If it makes any difference, I just opened a little comic book shop in a small town, so as a retailer I guess I can sort of help more than the Average Joe. Oh, and while I'm here, I just wanna say Silver Surfer, Squirrel Girl and Sam Wilson: Captain America are big hits at my (Mississippi!) comic shop.
This might be a weird question, but: Do you know why Herb Trimpe so drastically changed his art style in the '90s? Was he asked to do it, or did he choose to do it? Because every time I see his '90s art, I'm shocked again at how terrible it was, while his '70s and '80s work was always solid. I'm not trying to disrespect him; I just can't fathom how such a talented artist put out such inexplicably bad work.
VIDEO: I ask Aaron Sorkin what i have always wanted to ask him.
so, on saturday i was a guest at the Austin TV festival this weekend. FANTASTIC event.
part of the deal is i have a badge that basically lets me walk into anything i want to walk into. i was so excited for the west wing reunion panel and it did not disappoint. my first panel as a fan since rifftrax SDCC panel years ago.
and lo and behold they set the Q and A mic right next to my chair. so i fucking stood up and asked my ‘always wanted to know’ question. and then i got a TEN MINUTE answer. plus the stuff he says here made EVERY article on the panel. it felt good :) (its also the answer i was hoping for)
hilariously, when i was on stage talking about my stuff i was steady as a rock, asking this question i was a wreck.
first i get to shake Mamet’s hand and now this. the powers tv show has brought me so many goodies.
