White Collar Interview...

I just read this great interview with Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay. Best bit:

Tim DeKay: My favorite thing about Peter Burke is that he has to nearly contain his giddiness when he’s on a case that takes a lot of synapses moving. He just loves it. That keeps him going. I’ve said it before, there is almost a little disappointment when the case is solved.... because he just loves the chase. He loves it, loves it and loves it with Neal because there is a part of him that would love to go to that side, but knows he can't. So it’s okay with him just to watch it and every once in a while somewhat dip his foot in that pool.

I also like the way they see the relationship between Peter and Neal as central.

13 Things I Loved about Daken: Dark Wolverine #4...

12 Things I Loved about Daken: Dark Wolverine #4

Every time this comic comes out, I fear it won't be the same - the quality will slip, the subtle tensions will fall apart, the funny bits won't be funny any more, or the exciting parts exciting. Will the plot become predictable, as with so many other comics?

So far, as written by Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu, drawn by the wonderful Giuseppe Camuncoli, it's delighted me every time. This is what I liked about #4:

( 1. Reed and Sue are written like adults. )

( 2. The ugly costume is burned to scraps. )

( 3. Daken's sincere repentance. )

( 4. Daken wears a Fantastic Four T-shirt. )

( 5. Daken flirts with Ben Grimm. Who else dares to flirt with the Thing? )

( 6. Ben is won over. )

( 7. Daken and Johnny talk about peace. )

( 8. Franklin has Daken pegged. )

( 9. Reed and Sue aren't gullible. )

( 10. Daken proves he's still a ruthless bastard: he steals a newspaper. )

( 11. We have a twist in the plot. )

( 12. Madripoor, city of wonder - or is it Sin City? )

( 13. Way and Liu have been watching 'Leverage'. )
