Be honest. I noticed it didn't get into the Top 5 of any of the Panteon, so I'm wondering if I dudded. Also, in the immediate we will discover that Cassie suffered the same tragic lot as young Angela. Penis, anyone? TIM What did y’all think of issue 5? Be honest.

They hinted at something far more cool and exotic than the cartoon or that Star (Marvel) series ever did. Oh, and Tim, please don't *ever* reference the ending to Sleepaway Camp in any of your comics. Pretty please? I'm still scarred from those 30 seconds when I was 9.

Awww. But yeah, I can see how <I>Empowered</I> trods the same ground. I liked the book quite a bit anyway. <I>Jack Frost</I> is made of awesome. It's so deliriously stupid. Like when the made scientist asks the villain who died and came back to life as a snowman: "Wait! Please, tell me... what was it like coming back from <I>the black abyss of death</I>? What did you see? What did you feel?" "It feels..." "Yes?" "It feels..." "YES?!" "COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" And then he eats him. Seeley: No more LoveBunny? Awww.

Jack Frost is made of awesome. It’s so deliriously stupid. Like when the made scientist asks the villain who died and came back to life as a snowman:

“Wait! Please, tell me… what was it like coming back from the black abyss of death? What did you see? What did you feel?”

“It feels…”

“Yes?”

“It feels…”

“YES?!”

“COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!”

And then he eats him.

But, keep those slasher ideas. Someday, I'll hold a contest and a panel of guest judges will pick a winner for me to throw in an issue. TIM I’m gonna avoid taking reader-slashers for now.

Big fan of the old slashes, Freddy probably being my personal favorite. Personally, I have some ideas for some slashers, myself. I wonder if Tim is open to fan suggestions sending ideas in? Hell, I'd be happy to write a short story or something with a few of those slashers.

Lovebunny and Mr.Hell-I really do love the concept. But, when we out the book out it kinda broke my heart that it just didn't really go over. Now, I think EMPOWERED essentially does a lot of what I intended to do with LB (inclusing some things that are freakishly similar). If I can figure out a way to do it, or if indy comics were suddnely a great way to attract readers, I'd do it again. SAW- yeah the first one is far better than it should be. I think it's more of the factthat I just hold it responsible for aking ovie exes rush to release CAPTIVITY. HE-MAN- Y'know, I think that's just one of those things you ignore. I dunno if I could think of a way to comfortably place in a good excuse for the "pun names" like He-Man, or TWO-BAD. In it's way, MotU is sort of a hybrid superhero/sci-fi/fantasy, so you can just explain it away as codenames. Somehow, we were all comfy with the Transformer movie, even though giant alien robots having names like OPTIMUS trouncing aorund in a Michael Bay world is kinda retarded. :) ALIZEE- I have never heard a single song by this woman. Hopefully I never will. But, GOOD LORD. TALKBACK questions answered!!

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 23:06:47 +0000 http://comicpants.com/?p=2316#comment-8451 Thanks for talking with us, Tim! Various responses: *I think Saw gets a bad rep, at least the first one. It's a devious movie, but it doesn't really linger on its violence, even going so far as to go to the high-speed, time-lapse cam when some of the traps go off. I'm pretty squeamish about horror that really exults in painful violence and I don't really see Saw as doing that. In a weird way, it almost felt more like a video game than a torture-fest, with its series of puzzles for the leads (and the viewer) to solve. For the most part, though, I'm in agreement about torture-porn being the bottom of the barrel, and video game movies being a close cousin. *I would totally read your He-Man book. Follow-up question: would you try to explain some of the absurd conventions of his world (like naming a guy "He-Man"), or do you just play it all with a straight face? *Nice Alizee reference. She's the queen of message board gifs! Thanks for talking with us, Tim!

Oh my God, YES.

Whaddabout more LoveBunny and Mr. Hell, or (to really reach back far) META?
