reading now...
Edit: hmmm, not really much there. (at all) I agree with the decision to reboot, but think Ryall comes off a tad snotty (i've thought this before)
but i do certainly agree with the Homer's car analogy, lol...

As such, I expect it to be utterly condemned by many, if not most. | |

"How dare they mess with my memories!!"
I'm happy with what I've heard of the reboot and the preview issue. Can't wait.

The comic books just gave me something to read. I wasn't obsessed with continuity when I was a little kid, so that's why the reboot is ok with me.
They're now free to create a new, modern, and better mythos. | |

The best stories, no matter what others come, are always from us, the consumers, and the kids that play with joes, whether they're 5 years old, or 5 foot, 10. | |

The comics and resolute are going to be awesome so who cares that the movie will be crap, at least to us, we get the better deal in the end.
