A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Ok, so this idea actually can't happen, but just imagine the possibilities.

I want to travel back to 2002 when they were making the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies. I want to take the cast they had working the Daily Bugle. I want them to star in a sitcom that is shot like The Office. The entire show takes place inside the Daily Bugle, with J Jonah Jameson basically having the Micheal Scott role. Except in the J Jonah Jameson style.

And since you only ever get to see/hear from 3-4 people besides Jameson, I figure you could fill out the cast with entirely new characters made just for this show.

No....I didn't just think this up as an excuse to get more Betty Brant/Peter Parker interactions. I also really like the actor who played J Jonah Jameson in those movies. Really nailed the role.

OH! And I guess Eddie Brock will eventually show up as a freelance photographer you see every few episodes, but just in quick scenes. Which, unfortunately would mean Topher Grace. Always hated that casting call. He would have made a GREAT Spiderman. Terrible Eddie Brock/Venom.

Well, now I'm just ranting I suppose.

J.K. Simmons is the actor and he's stellar in everything he does.

Such an idea would also heavily feature Robbie Robertson who, yeah, is kinda there in the movies...

Bill Nunn played him in the Ramie movies, but he was cut from the script for Amazing Spider-Man. 😔 and has yet to be brought back in the Marvel movies.

I guess he's in Spider-Noir though? Haven't seen it yet...
