Comments on: In which Greg cops an attitude, which is probably not that healthy, but tries to overcome it by giving a quiz

Good call on Rex Mundi, Lauren. And Spidey has never had a cat, as far as I know. I was just funnin’ with you.

15. Whoâ€™s the hero of Rex Mundi?

Julien Sauniere if I recall correctly. He is a doctor

On the other hand, I never knew Spidey had a cat, so I guess it all evens out.

oh and #8 is Doug Moench
Continuity and trivia can be fun, but the best comics don’t require either and a good reviewer certaintly does need any arcane knowledge, just good writing skills, a certain je ne sai quoi, and an ability to read and analyze the story to call out if something is good as the site title implies.

I miss Back Ho. She was a great sidekick. Alex Ross always made her look hot on the covers.

So when are we going to get the answers to these? So far, nobody’s even attempted #2, 3, or 15.

Fortunately for Grant and the other hostages, Crossover is both deeply confused and incredibly slow – due to decompression and publishing delays, he can only appear once or twice a month, tops, and when he does he frequently contradicts whatever he was doing before – and by now they’ve all wandered off while he waits for his next script to be completed.

Crossover sounds pretty dangerous, but we won’t know for sure until we find out exactly what color his Rage Ray is.

See, now this is just becoming too much of a love-in. So I’ve decided to hate Greg now with a supervillain-level passion, just on principle! Now enter the man called… CROSSOVER!

“You called me mad… MAD! But you shall RUE the day you mocked my poorly-edited multi-title masterpiece of muddlement, Greg Burgas! Rue the day… FOREVER!

“I hold hostage within my Fortress of Fandom all your favorite writers and artists, and shall begin executing them with my deadly Rage Ray unless you comply with my demands! You have ONE HOUR to write a glowing review of ‘Green Lantern: Rebirth’… or the lovely Mr. Morrison here will simply… LOSE his HEAD!

“MWA-HAHA! MWA-HAHAHAHA!”

I like you, Greg.

And really, what else matters?

The sad thing is, there are these people out there who have become so accustomed to speaking angrily and insultingly on the internet, they don’t know how not to. They start any conversation or discussion with a rant about why somebody is the antichrist.

It’s almost as silly as a purple death ray.

But for what it’s worth, Greg Burgas is an integral part of CSBG, and I will say so at any opportunity.

Greg, I’ll punch through the head of anyone who says anything bad to you or about you. You know. If you’d like.

Because I like your stuff ‘though I might not always agree.

It took some kind of superpower to not only read through the crappy comics but then rear up and write the series of Event Comics reviews you did.

Love,
Clark

I kind of don’t want people liking Greg. It’s kind of funny to see all the crazies come out the moment Greg gives an opinion on anything. I have no idea why he excites so much vitriol, but it’s almost comedic and makes for some lively comments sections.

Who hates Greg, anyway? Those people suck. Ignore them, Greg – you’re part of the Comicbookresources.com media empire now! And besides, you’re always right anyway – except when you’re obviously wrong (you liked Infinite Crisis? After all that? That’s just weird, man).

Greg: Ignore. Free text commenting invites an inherently negative bias anyway (people are more likely to complain than praise if providing feedback), so it’s probably just the law of averages.

(P.S. If you really wanna piss some people off, suggest that maybe Ultimates 2 is not in fact the Greatest Comic Ever Made By Someone Not Named Jack Kirby. Sit back, crack a beer, and watch the hate mail flood in! Good times!)
