Jack Kirby's Fourth World stuff doesn't hold up well for general audiences. You kind of have to know who Jack Kirby is and who the New Gods are to enjoy it. Its greate read but its like the 1978 Superman movie. Kids will get board with it really quick.
On the other hand you can give Scott Pilgrim to just about any nerd and they'll love it.
All Star Superman is great introduction to comics for any reason.
Come on, Graeme...I just know you know better than that.
I've always felt that gawker sites don't really qualify as journalism, and the above sloppiness is one reason why: even the so-called "professional contributors" can't consistently summon proper grammar of even the simplest sort.
Not only is "out've" not a contraction of two words you would put together, it isn't even shorter than the two words it ostensibly replaces ("out of"). How utterly daft.
It is difficult to sustain respect for this site when its content sometimes reads like it is composed by learning-challenged 4th graders. Hey, Analee, who edits the editors?

Wow is "bitchy" in your vocab then, because you sure are giving a banner representation of it?
Lay off Graeme. We're lucky to have him here.
