My thoughts I'm not an avid comics reader, but I cherish Gotham Adventures #1-12. They are among my favorite reads ever. The best thing about Ty was that he truely understood the concept of Gotham Adventures: to capture the atmosphere of Gotham City by telling stories about Batman and his...

Tom Hanks That good to hear - I'm glad Perdition is fairing alright with all the competition. About 10 minutes of the movie was filmed in my town, so I feel a certain loyalty to it. I'm going to go see it tomorrow!

I'm interested in starting to read the "Superman" comic book title, and I absolutely loved the first issue I picked up (183 - "Clark Kent, You're Fired!) but I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what's been happening up to this point. What is the big secret? Lastly, is it possible to...

I don't know if this has been posted about, but I have to say that the Animated Batman genre is alive and well when in Jason Hall's hands. His Mr. Freeze issue is the first issue to contain character development since Ty Templeton wrote the series. This one truely deserved to be number 50. I...

Conan Being a writer for the Simpsons does not constitue one as a cartoonist. Writing for the simpsons is like writing for any tv show, unlike the classic warner bros. days in which the writers were artists and no scripts were written! So I don't think I'd call Conan a cartoonist unless he has...

Archie's picks The Warners Best cartoon: Ups and Downs Sure, it only has Wakko, but it captures his character perfectly in placing him in a funny situation instead of giving him someone to annoy. Paul Rugg at his best. Best song: Tie: "A Quake, A Quake" and "Wakko's Two Note Song"...

Best of A! Wow, I'm impressed, Jamie! I agree that McClenahan was an asset to the show. He told me that for a while he even had an office at WBA. Startoons did my favorite work on Animaniacs, how ironic it is that WB was the start of that studio and the end of that studio. Looking back...

I cannot for the life of me obtain a list of the Annie award winners from 1990-1995. Can anyone here help?

just because Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain won't find an audience with today's kids. They need to be marketed towards adults and nostalgic college students - and 3 in the afternoon won't get that audience any more than 5 in the morning. If you ask me they belong in a block, as suggested...

Sophie's choice First I clicked "perchance to dream" and voted and then my browser froze on me. So I came back and decided to vote for "two-face" instead... and now I'm not sure which of my votes went through! Oh well - both are great eps. Waiaminute... all are great eps.... Oy! -Arch
