I don’t know anyone who reads their monthly offering anymore. Obscure word balloon humor, frustrating inside jokes, nerd stroke pictures of comic heroines and sci-fi actresses, have made this book unreadable. Who wants to read the five hundereth interveiw with Brian Bendis? I can only imagine how bad the gaming magazine must have been. Honestly, somebody needs to have a sit down with all of the writers and editors and just – like a bandaid – let them have it, get it over with. Tell them: y’know guys, you’re not funny. You’re just not. All that Kevin Smithian humor you try to pull off just doesn’t work. And girls don’t like you, even if they pretend to.
