The FAQ: Jason edition
Favorite comics: This changes as creative teams change, but as of this writing:
The Immortal Iron Fist
Astonishing X-Men (Warren Ellis)
Ultimate Spider-Man
The Walking Dead
Uncanny X-Men
New Avengers
Scott Pilgrim
How do I get my friend/girlfriend to read comics?
Fables is a good way to start, but they need to give it at least 2 trades before they make a decision.
Buffy. Chicks dig Buffy.
Ultimate Spider-Man is usually a pretty good way to go.
The Sandman - this one is probably the most successful 'gender-crossover' title in a male-dominated medium.
What are the best horror movies around?
These may not be the scariest. They may not even be the best, per se. But they're my favorites in no particular order (and are completely subject to change).
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (the original)
Halloween (the original)
Night of the Living Dead (again, the original)
The Brood
Jacob's Ladder
The Thing (John Carpenter's remake)
The Exorcist
Zombie (Lucio Fulci!)
Bride of Frankenstein
Brides of Dracula

Please forgive me if this has already been asked (it probably has) but:
1. Who do you think is the most overrated comic artist
2. Who do you think is the most overrated comic writer
and...
3. What do you think is the most overrated comic run or miniseries
Much appreciated, Monster Master Jason! =D

you were right about Pixar Jason, even Toy story is a plot rip off of The Christmas Toy.
in fact now it makes me wonder where they got the plot idea of Up. ever other Pixar has something it rips.

oh wise and all knowing Jason, hear my plea!
I followed every issue of marvel ultimate with passion, but sense it was canceled. (CURSE YOU MARVEL!!!) I find myself hard to find any other ongoing series to read. I've already read Allot of the old stuff i heard you recommend in the league. But I'm looking for something new, something to look forward to, reading each month, rather then acouple day's of intense reading...I know i could savor them, but their right there!
So anyhow my question is, do you have any current comic book run that you would recommend?

One that I've really enjoyed that just started is Stumptown by Greg Rucka. It's a noirish detective story - not quite your norm. Lots of folks are digging 'Chew', as well, which is absolutely bizarre.

Are there any writers and/or artists whom you felt were tailor-made to work on a certain book or character, but have yet to do so?
