      Hi guys, thanks for airing my comment. Matthew, I actually tried calling twice on the same topic because I felt I didn’t really communicate well on the first call and wanted another shot. In my second call I asked, “Does it come down to a moral vs. legal question?” and I think you answered that quite well.

      I feel personally that it is shady what DC is doing, but I actually really enjoyed Minutemen and the Silk Spectre ones, and to a lesser extent Ozymandias. And DC certainly has the legal right to do what they’re doing as well. So I guess I’m a bit bad at putting my money where my mouth is, because I’m going to keep reading them.

      I hope my call didn’t come off as too douchebaggy, that wasn’t my intent. I just wondered about the two situations, and thanks for the reply. Plus, wow, I’m terrible at talking on the phone haha. Nervous! Keep up the awesome work.

      Cheers :)

        I hope my call didn’t come off as too douchebaggy, that wasn’t my intent.

        Not at all… You raise a valid point, and it’s one that I’ve been pondering a bit as we move through the frankly somewhat underwhelming BW miniseries.

      I like to think that Matthew had Serenity on the brain for the opener because I quoted Book in my Poll of the Week comment.

      Stephen – I completely COMPLETELY disagree with your assessment. Sorry – I like what they’ve done and it’s explanations are a good driver to show what’s occurring. Now, that being said – I think it’s a little too Doctor Who weighted – but it’s pretty good and allows a reader to just pick it up and roll with it.

      As for the art – I LIKE the watercolor style art. Could they have done this with video headshots? Yes, maybe – it’s possible. But overall I like the way that it looks – your talking about a whole set of universes that everyone has to identify with from two major television series – it’s really something that you have to be spot on with. (Now, that being said, if they were doing headshots – why does Rory look so terrible? That looks nothing like Arthur Darvill…)

      Look – I’m a Star Trek / Doctor Who fan – been one since before I could use the potty. I’m ecstatic about this setup, and I like what they’ve done. (Again, yes it’s a little bit too heavy with The Doctor.) And for 2 slices of meatloaf I think your being way off – it’s at least 3 if not 3.5 for the common person and 4 to 4.5 for the big fans…

      Sorry, I know you call it like you see it… but I think a strong counterpoint needed to be made here.

        That is why we say Mileage May Vary. I’m a big Doctor Who and Star Trek fan, too, but this series has been flat for me.
