TONY'S ONLINE TIPS
for Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Here's the deal. There are several petty stupid annoyances in my life. I was going to write about them today...until I thought about the consequences of giving said annoyances even the smallest power over my world. Courtesy of ENGRISH.COM, I found a better way to deal with them.
I'll be back tomorrow with a full-sized column. While you're waiting for my usual mix of news, views, and reviews, why not visit the TONY POLLS page at...
www.worldfamouscomics.com/tony/poll
...and vote on this week's questions. They are all comics or comics-related questions covering such topics as:
The Battle For Superman.
The New Legion of Super-Heroes.
Frank Miller's Sin City.
The Valiant Universe Auction.
What You'd Like Me To Review.
If you don't vote, the Qwardians have already won.
See you tomorrow.

THE "TONY" SCALE
ZERO: Burn your money before buying any comic receiving this rating. It doesn't *necessarily* mean there's absolutely nothing of value here - though it *could* - but whatever value it might possess shrinks into insignificance before its overall awfulness.
ONE: Buy something else. Maybe I found something which wasn't completely dreadful in the item, but not enough for me to recommend it when there are better comics available. I only want what's best for you, my children.
TWO: Basic judgment call. I found some value, but not enough to recommend it. My review should give you enough info to decide if you want to take a chance on it. Are you feeling lucky today, punk? Well, are you?
THREE: This denotes something I find perfectly respectable. There are better books out there, but I wouldn't regret buying this item. Based on my review, you should be able to determine if it's of interest to you. Let the Force guide you.
FOUR: I recommend anything earning this rating. Unless you don't like the genre, subject matter, or past work of the creators, I believe you'll enjoy this item. Isn't it uncanny how I can look right into your soul that way?
FIVE: Anything getting this rating is among the best comicdom has to offer. You should buy/read this, even if the genre/subject matter doesn't appeal to you. It's for your own good. Me, I live for comics and books this good...but not in a pathetic "Comic-Book Guy" sort of way.
