    I think he does know what he's doing. If we take it as fact that TF #1 didn't sell out due to low stock quantities but rather genuine fan interest, then he's certainly gotten more readers on board than he's lost.

    Furthermore, I'm very much loving the extensive palate we're being offered in the next few months. He seems keen on offering a rich selection, something for everyone. Let's give the guy 6 months to a year before we make conclusive judgments, don't judge him based on Continuum alone.

    I'm very thankful that he offered so many witty and informative comments, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table.

    I, for one, really appreciate the honest (and witty) answers. Maybe I am just used to reading Hasbro's potical BS responses, but I feel like we got a pretty informative interview here. Great read. I hope we continue to see feedback like this on a regular basis.

    So, the faces aren't movie-like, everybody's acting in character, -ations got a real ending, and "Continuum" isn't error-loaded, is what he's saying.

    This isn't f*&^ing politics, it's comics. "We screwed up" is an acceptable answer.

    Thanks for attempting to communicate, next time, please drop the spin.

    I disagree with him on some of the questions/answers regarding the "...ions" books. They may have gotten an ending, but it certainly didn't seem to be what Simon had intended. And it definitely seemed truncated.

    And, I guess as long as Don is the artist, I won't be buying the book.
    Wow. Never, ever thought I'd be typing that.

    Well, I for one am thankful for his time. He answered my short little question, and I was one of the few who asked about BW. So to even bother was nice. And I didn’t get any attitude, since I gave no attitude. Companies don’t focus on fan input. They want to make profit, and fans are the minority who buys the product. Granted, comics are different, but still. If people want something done a certain way, there IS a way to voice it as a group instead of sounding like a bunch of tools. How is that going to get you what you want?

    So, thanks Andy for your time!
