Hey, sorry if this is posted already, but I didn't see it!

On The Screen Savers today (G4/Tech TV), they are currently reviewing/reccomending comics! They reccomended the following:

Wanted
Powers
Kabuki
WE3


How fucking cool is that!? Very Happy

The reviews weren't remarkably accurate, but they were still really cool.

Hmm... I wonder if someone here isn't a Screen Savers staff member...?

THey've had both Mike Mignola and Stan Lee on in the month since they've been back on the air...before that they did some segments on comic book grading and some reviews back in the day....

That was my first thought, too. It was a pretty remarkable coincidence! I mean, sure they're all really great comics, but there are so many to choose from.

They were decent reviews too, for the most part. (Plot & story innaccuracies aside.) Good visual aids, and an open mind on the art front. Pretty cool stuff.

I remember when they had Stan Lee on, but I missed it. I assumed it was about the web stuff he was doing, just as I would have assumed Mignola was on for the DVD. (You know, if I'd known he was on. Very Happy )

I'm glad thier reviewing comics and stuff. That's really cool. I've also enjoyed the show more than I thought I would sans-Leo. The new guy isn't too bad, either. (He's pretty funny.)

I like that he's willing to make a fool of himself, but still maitains his dignity... for the most part. I still miss Leo, though.

Kevin Rose is okay, but something about him bugs me. He seems so smug. I dunno. He's got good taste in ladies, though! Very Happy

You ever go to tier sites? (Kevin Rose & Sara Lane, that is.)

Yeah I have. I like a lot of the stuff on there. I think I've actually gotten more useful stuff from Sara Lane's blog though. She has a bunch of links to free downloads and stuff. (And me being cheap... you know. Smile )

What did they say about Kabuki?
Did they show the comic or any of the art? If so, which issue or trade?

Is this a TV show?
Please give me more info on it, and I'll try to find it. Do they do re-runs?

Thanks

Well, yeah. What he said! Very Happy

Here's a link to the show notes, not too much info there though.

http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3561/Useless_USB_Products_Volvo_Gravity_Car_Comic_Book_Faves.html

They said some really nice stuff. Mostly commenting on the story and the characters, which was cool. They were talking about The Alchemy #1, specifically and they showed the cover (Mack's) and a couple interior pages.

It was a really nice surprise.

It replays tomorrow at noon (ET).

I remember when the Screen Savers used to be about computers.
