    • AndymanMessiah says:

      SERIOUS BUSINESS!

    • JMan1380 says:

      Alex, are you still part of College Humor’s skits?

    • nickmongo says:

      Jeez guys, brew a pot of coffee or something.

    • DevynRodriguez says:

      God, let the omd/bnd go already.

    • nightwing722 says:

      Alex, I know how bad you’ve been wanting to be quoted, so I went ahead and quoted you on my facebook page. You’re welcome.

    • JMan1380 says:

      Heavy on the indie stuff ey? That’s cool, Pete looks drunk, so he’s exceptionally funny this time around. You guys better resurrect Justin soon otherwise 4 other guys posing as him are going to try to take his place. That might tear youtube a Brand New Asshole.

    • Champion17 says:

      I have 99% gotten over the OMD debacle but I must admit, like Pete:

      You could’ve done these BND storylines without that whole mess. But yeah it’s time to get over it, same with the 3.99 pricetag people! The prices increased, I get it! Stop making every topic merge into that!!!

    • therealmanos says:

      I also agree with Pete! They didn’t need to ruin Spider-man in order to bring in better stories!

    • bigoaktopher says:

      Go Pete! Don’t let it go, I agree Spider-man is totally tainted for me too.

      I normally like Warren Ellis too, but WTF is up with Astonishing. So this sounds like Gravel is an Ellis book I’ll have to get.

    • pobra17 says:

      scalped= greatness. Would it be possible for Pete to make a deal with mephisto and have Justin resurrected? I miss that lil’ bastard.

    • bryanss3 says:

      Is Pete scared that if he completely enjoys Spider-Man now Mephisto will appear and take his marriage.

    • widowmaker85 says:

      Is that Rolling Rock you’re drinking? You usually tell us the name of the beer. How are we supposed to be cool like you if we don’t know what beer to drink? I mean, c’mon. That being said…I have to say I completely agree with Pete on the Spider-Man thing. I can’t get into the new comics, despite how good they are, ’cause I keep thinkin spidey’s gonna pull a Dallas and wake up to find Mary Jane in the shower or something. Anyway, keep up the good work.

    • Gahlaxy says:

      is justin dead?

    • tccb says:

      Pete’s one beer away from asking for your change outside the convenience store, then asking why they killed Mary Jane. I think he’s taking Justin’s death a LITTLE harder than they’d like us to believe

    • bakbak5 says:

      nice to hear DMZ is still pretty good. I still have to pick up vol. 06. btw, just picked up the Secret Invasion tpb. Overrated trash that should pay you for reading it-not $30!!

    • hummlah says:

      I feel for Pete and his loathing of B.N.D. I gave A.Spider-man nine issues after B.N.D. and wound up canceling it. I just can’t enjoy a book named Spider-man if it doesn’t star Spider-man. The guy they have running around now is not the Peter Parker we’ve loved and cared about, he’s a bad story plot masquerading as a comic book. I feel dirty every time I see this bastardized version of Spider-man sitting on the shelf in my comic shop.

    • lincolnputnam says:

      That being said,, let it go Pete, let it go…. justin who?

    • oofallen00 says:

      I feel for Pete,Spiderman is my favorite superhero and eh, I can’t bring myself to read AMS after the raping of the book that was “One More Day” I feel for ya Pete ah really do

    • camnick8923 says:

      nice coasters guys :)

    • tehquestion says:

      Spider-man is readable these days when its telling good short stories, not when it is trying to build intrigue around the fiasco that was OMD.
      Petes right!

    • tehquestion says:

      Agreed. Everything you needed to understand was right there in the book.

    • ejulpboy says:

      Also, Pete you’re too drunk in few pots there buddy; I really want this show to get picked up by another comic site, and displays like this might be off-putting as much as they ARE funny.

    • ejulpboy says:

      Higher Quality option please! I feel like I’m watching this through rusty tub water.

      Love Brus work, BUT, I think if we look at common themes in all his work, its safe to say he maaaaaayyyy hate all women but his wife.

      Alex, can’t believe you didn’t like Rebels, I bought it just for the art, and was really surprised by how fun it is. I have no clue what L.e.g.i.o.n. is, or how its different from LSH, but it didn’t bother me at all.

      Agents of Atlas review? Did I miss it?

    • themaskedmenace18 says:

      Pete- totally agree about Spidey!
