AMC's Comic Book Men - Anybody Watching?

Ming is also I believe the webmaster and creator of Kevin's various websites...and yeah he's been kind of the brunt of the jokes for a long time now. I don't think he minds much.
 
Finally getting around to watching episode three. I've had to pause, because this guy's stand up comedy is killing me, and not in a good way.
 
Bry is the funniest man on the show. Sure, he's a bit of a dick, but he just shows everyone else up. That bit about the Comic book standup?

Walt: "I think that in 5 years time He's gonna be the first Comic Book Standup."

Bry: "Yeah, and I think in 5 years time someones gonna steal his idea and do it better."
 
Remember the point of the commercial was that it was "half assed" on purpose. I'm sure they did since that was the point of it. I thought it was pretty awesome myself.

No, I get that. I was just wondering if anybody'd seen it on a Jersey station or something.
 
I haven't read the Widening Gyre yet, but I enjoyed Cacophony well enough. It was a little wordy fo a comic, but I thought the banter between Joker and Deadshot was fun, and Onomatopoeia is a cool concept foor a villain.
 
The stuff with Silver in Widening Gyre (I think that featured Silver)was fun...borderline silly, I liked the scenes where Aquaman discovers Bruce's heart beat in the ocean and tracks him only to find an annoyed Bruce who is enjoying...ahem...alone time with Silver...hahaha. Classic Kevin. I loved the heart to heart that Batman has with Joker in Cacophony.
 
No one that I know of...I liked both Smith's Batman books. They aren't meant to be in continuity anyway.

Given the multiple reference to previous events such as Luthor's Injustice Gang and Silver's husband, it clearly was suppose to be set in continuity.

Maybe Smith's books was it's "own" continuity that happened to have those events in it but the events in Smith's book didn't impact the "real" events in the main title(s.)
 
I got the trade of Cacophony today and just finished reading it. I actually quite like it and would almost say it's as good as "The Killing Joke" and I think Walt Flanagan's art in it is pretty good. Yeah it gets wordy in a couple of places and a few times it delves a bit too deep into Kevin Smith's brand of toilet/sex humor nonsense, but overall I think it's a pretty solid series and the ending discussion between Bats and The Joker in the ICU is good stuff (again, on par with the ending of The Killing Joke.)

I'll get a trade of Widening Gyre when it comes out and see how that one is.

But, yeah, Cacophony isn't that bad.
