Ask Silkcuts.

I noticed that there have been a lot of "Ask" whoever threads out.  So why not start one myself?  What is the point to knowledge if its not shared, right?  I mean this in full honesty, I learn from others and I hope that others learn from me.  You can ask me anything and I'll try to be as honest as possible.
 
Cheers

who is your favorite supervillian from an alan moore graphic novel 
and who is your favorite hell-blazer artist and why ?

" @Silkcuts: Nice. I wish I was that imaginative when I created my username. "

•  With Alan Moore that is hard to pick.  For arguments sake I'll say Rorschach.  Ozzy I see as the real hero in the story.  Alan Moore created him after Alexander the Great and Ramesses II.  Both men are inspirations of what a Person can achieve.
  
• Favorite cover artist for Hellblazer Glenn Fabry, interiors tie between Sean Phillips and Leonardo Manco.
  

and what do you think about the few good crime comics and horror comics out on the market today compared to back in the 80s and 90s  ,do you think that they should be more popular and reliant more over than superheroes ? and do you think people even care about anthology series of horror or crime in general ?
 
and do you listen to music while reading a graphic novel ?( and what type of music to you listen to ..)

" @Silkcuts: I prefer DCU too. "

U know smoking kills?? :-)

Which comic book crossover is your favorite?

" U know smoking kills?? :-) "

SMOKING KILLS! Smoking is bad for you.  John Constantine can con the Devil to save him from Cancer, you cannot! Smoking may look cool, but its not.  Smoking Kills.  Thank you. 

" Which comic book crossover is your favorite? "

Lol nice reply Silkcuts :-)

" @Silkcuts: Perhaps Blackest Night. "

" @Silkcuts: It still has a lot of issues left. I believe things will speed up soon. "

" @Silkcuts: Do you do a lot of reviews? "

" @Silkcuts: Impressive. I will check some of them a bit later. "

All-Time Alan Moore, currently active Grant Morrison.    How about you? "

I must say this thread has been rather eye-opening. I have to admit I never, umm, appreciated your presence, due to the fact that I'm such an avid anti-smoker. Seriously, the first time I saw one of your reviews I thought you must be a spam bot promoting Silkcuts. Now I know better, so I'd like to say, I'm sorry I doubted you Silkcuts, let us never fight again ;)
 
So my question is: how do you have the time to do so many reviews?

Same as yours actually :) followed by Greg Pak. "

  Three questions for me.  
 
  Favorite Artist?  Mine is Alex Ross just to make it even. 
 
  Which stories as of this year, are you currently following and enjoying?  Green Arrow for me. 
 
  Are you a fan of all these legacy characters that DC are coming out with?  Personally, I'm not.

Yeah, somewhat lol. I love that he makes characters I hate likeable.  but companies seem to have that with almost everyone. Like Greg Rucka being DC's slave lol. "

3rd: To be honest I forget what that is about, I saw the ads, never looked into it.

  It just one of those things that I've noticed awhile ago, I made a blog post about it.  Basically, from what I'm seeing, DC is adamant on slowly making most of their characters, specifically the ones they've never actually made, only gained, into a legacy.  They had Freddy Freeman take up the Captain Marvel mantle.  They had Renee Montoya take up Vic's mantle, and they gave Ted Kords title to Jaime Reeves.   
 
  It just seems strange don't you think?

" @Silkcuts:   Oh you're Canadian too. Where do you hail from? "

" @Silkcuts:  Yeah, but somethiing that seems weird is just that I don't ever really see DC just slowly moving forward with the times.  I see something more of another crisis happening that would restart the whole universe, and we'd start back at the beginning.  Another thing is that most of the legacy characters they make are characters with great potential but are neglected.      In that blog, I noted that they made the mantle of Green Arrow a legacy by killiing off Ollie and replacing him with Connor Hawke, and where did that lead us?      Well, Connor wasn't popular and they brought Ollie back.  Its just seems like making all these legacy characters are just prime examples of intellectual laziness. "

" @Silkcuts:  It's a poor gamble when they do it once, it's intellectual laziness when you introduce a character in volume 2 of a series with an established main character and then kill off that character and introduce another one in his mantle and expect people to just be happy with it.      And on a side note, they killed off Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, and now they're back.  Just more proof of how the whole DCU doesn't feel as natural as I wish it could be. "

" @Silkcuts: Lol nice, Mississauga is where I live as well...Used to live in Toronto a few years ago. "

" @Silkcuts:  Lol, I kind of figured you would.  You just give off that intellectual vibe.  Even through a computer. Lol. "
