My answer to all the questions is Rob Liefeld. And "no pants." Combine the two for bonus points.
Did I win? Am I officially a comic books person?

Bold to see new stores opening in this climate. Is it a comic store or a gaming store that sells comics?
you've made a terrible mistake

Check it out. Hopefully they're open to listening to customers and you can help shape it into a shop that is useful for you.
No pants, no shorts, just sensible grooming.

Wonder Woman will do the Cammy Frankensteiner on you and you'll spill your drink. I mean, spill the beans.
From what i've been told, comics only so far. I really do miss my old store. It was actually too successful. The couple running it just had their first kid, the guy made more money being an electrictian and they couldn't find anyone to take over day to day operations. They had a beautiful clean store and had a healthy Magic side-community that was pretty cool. I also got to meet Christos Gage at a signing there
From what i've heard, its a 30-40 year old guy who's just getting started and is really open to comments. I hope I dont become "that guy" that every shop has. My current shop is decent, the only problem is that if im not going to school, its really out of the way. This really becomes a problem during Winter break and summer

Getting to know your LCS owner is awesome. Mine saves stuff that he knows fits my tastes, gives me little discounts and even delivered comics to my hospital bed when I first broke my hip!

Brick-and-mortar, all the way. I'm just too much of a relic when it comes to reading comics. That being said, I really haven't tried reading comics on, say, an iPad...
Man, that's quite the pickle. When I was younger, I used to be Marvel all the way but now I'm not so certain. Although, the whole clone saga in Spider-Man comics left me kinda bittered towards Marvel and comics in general for a couple of years
But because I'm a fanboy at heart, I guess I must say DC because of THE GODDAM--See above.
Unfortunately, I haven't read too much of his stuff. Although, I *did* enjoy All-Star Superman and Batman and Robin 1-3 so I guess I'll say he's allright.
Hmmh. I really haven't read enough of stuff with The Flash as a main character so I'll refrain from answering.
No opinion. Sorry.
See: Wonder Woman.
rob liefeld or greg land?
Rob. Because of dat Cable.
And here I thought I knew something about comics but after answering this query, I'm almost ashamed because of my lack of information.

Do they really make a Tarot Witch of the Korean Pine Cone comic? :|
Last issue of Black Panther is this week. Hold me, Gaf.
You know about as much as me (hell, probably more), and I do pretty okay round these parts. Welcome aboard!

Longshot is great... what is your problem with him?
Damn! Time to start hating Longshot.
I thought the Marvel .x issues were supposed to be jumping on points so I didn't pre-order Venom 13.1-.4 and now I figure out they are parts 2-5 of a team-up event
Why didn't they just make this a miniseries instead of mucking up my Venom catalog?
Marvel is full of shit, that's why. Glad to see they keep screwing the pooch on their initiatives.
I was thinking about interracial relations in comics. So far the only interesting ones I can think of are Donnor and Blitzen, Mach 5 and Songbird, John Stewart and Hawkgirl, and Luke Cage and Jesscia Jones.
There was also Technocrat, Katanna, and Halo, but that was freakiness on a whole new level. Am I missing some.

Didn't Wonder Woman have a black boyfriend that everybody hated?
Spike Spiegel
Member
Yeah. Trevor Barnes.
Can't imagine where they came up with that name.
To add a couple to the conversation, Sistah Spooky and Mindf*ck.
Songbird is Jewish, but how i this interracial ? Iron Fist and Misty Knight.

My favorite interracial comic couple is/was Tommy "Hitman" Monaghan and Detective Deborah Tigel. As a cop dating an anti-hero killer for hire, she grounds the series a bit with some morality from the reader's perspective, but over the course of the series she learns to respect him and his group, and she would ride or die with her man if push came to shove.
I miss Hitman
I wish DC would hurry the FUCK up with collecting the damn thing. Should have it all in trades by 2013! *sigh*
edit: Ooh, though of another one I like, Iron Fist and Misty Knight

I jest, but dayum does Marcus To draw some very attractive women
Fixed for Brave New 52 World!
Mach 5 was black for a few years. Techno was a dick and Abe needed a cover id.
There's Tony and whatsername in Chew. Renee Montoya and her gf in Gotham Central. Asterios and Hana in Asterios Polyp. Miles Morales' parents I guess.
It's sort of a spoiler to give it away, but there was a big Vertigo series that ended a few years back that had a pretty prominent couple.

I bought the first issue of Hitman on a lark on Comixology. Within a week I'd bought them all. At $1.99 a piece...
Such is the power of Hitman.
He is back to being white, get yourself some Thunderbolts runs. Anything except the fight club shit.

I'm actually quite happy with the ending it got. A complete, 60-issue story is rare in mainstream superhero comics. But damn, that was a good ass book :/
But, WATXM comes out this week, which means all is right in the world.
Kate Kane and Renee Montoya
if i've learned anything about Kate, it's that she likes her some brown skinned ladies. her first girlfriend (in Elegy) was latina, Renee was latina, and that one chick she randomly picked up in Batwoman #0 was black.
Maggie is the white combo breaker
edit: almost forgot about Hippolyta and Philippus but that didn't really ever go anywhere

Secret Avengers #22 comes out this Wednesday, by Remender and Hardman. Now that's a hell of a creative team, but Hardman can only do the first four issue story arc before...blargh...Renato Guedes comes on board. I asked him on Twitter if he's coming back after the tie-in and he said yes; the book comes out every two weeks so he can't draw every issue.
And for a minute, I thought about that. I love getting some of my favorite books twice/three times a month, but I think I would take X-Force once a month if that meant Jerome Opena was drawing it. Yeah, its a pain being left on a cliffhanger for a whole month, but its gonna look soooo good when it finally does come out, and its gonna look all the better for it in the collected format when you re-visit it years later, release dates being totally irrelevant at that point.
On the flip side, good rotating artists makes it easier to bite the bullet on your favorite being gone for months. Despite TTOB's lamentations, I LOVE Nick Bradshaw's Wieringo-meets-Adams art style, and I think he's a solid alternative to Chris Bachalo. He doesn't have Chris' unique storytelling, but he can still fill the book with character and humor, and can make space-age tech sitting alongside Wolverine sipping coffee seem natural.
What say you, GAF? Would you rather wait for your favorite artist once a month, or would you take Amy Reeder filling in for JH Williams III for a few months a year?

Sadly it's a moot point. Flooding the market is the only way Marvel is staying in business. They make double the money.

I'd rather them monthly but cool artists can rotate on that. Marvel can go eat ass 2-3 times a month, I'm bout to drop the whole company. Except the Bachalo things... and Spiderman..and Daredevil..fuck.
