Thanks to Ned's busy night True Blue LA almost had 200,000 page views for the month of August. We missed by 388 views with 11,180 view for the day. To put that into perspective last August we had 23,000 page views for the entire month. We now sport 1435 members and everyday we get more participation in the fanshots, fanposts, and comments. Thanks to everyone (most of you anyway) who contribute here and keep this place civil even as we disagree with the varied opinions expressed here.
As many have noted this site is a far cry from the sleepy little blog of a year ago.
On a sad note, Disney will be buying Marvel. A huge bummer for those of us who enjoyed watching our childhood memories come to life on the big screen. The story of Marvel coming back from bankruptcy as two men outfoxed two of the deepest pocket assholes in the investment world is a must read for anyone who enjoys comics and stocks.

Not Comic-related, but a bit comical
Jim Thome has been walked intentionally three times this year. That ties him with Juan Pierre.
I really don't get the concern re: Marvel
It isn’t like “Daredevil” and “Spiderman 3” were cinematic gems. Big corporate entertainment megazord A, meet bigger corporate entertainment megazord B.
As someone who helped create a big corporate entertainment megazord of my own, let me assure you that there is very little difference from one to the other in terms of the back office.
Simple for me
I despise Disney and enjoyed the underdog run of Marvel from comic book publisher to one of the big boys in the movie business. They had a million naysayers along the way and proved them all wrong. Marvel Studio was just getting started and while it will continue the excitement is gone. The success of Iron Man changed everything about Marvel, it was like rooting for the Tampa Bay Rays instead of the Yankee’s. (Disney).
I understand the sentiment
Two of the biggest **cks I ever met, in terms of attitude, were Disney VPs early in my career. That place is a veritable factory for making them. My point is that at THIS point, Marvel is just another gigantic company (I kind of thought the horrible and formulaic Spidey 3 made that point pretty well) and one shouldn’t be too sentimental about something that huge just swapping names on the letterhead (if that happens at all). In any case, ‘Up’ was well-received, it isn’t like Disney destroyed Pixar overnight.
