Spike TV doesn't know comics
I have to say that I was pretty dissapointed after voting for this year 's Scream Awards on Spike TV. After navigating the confusing maze that is their website and finally figuring out how to vote, it was hardly worth it as their comic book categories were as generic as they could be. Hey Spike TV, here's a hint: there are other comic books besides Civil War and Captain America, though I admit the latter is an excellent book. There are also other comic book writers besides Brian Michael Bendis.
Apparently Spike TV only goes for what's popular as their list didn't feature many indy books.
Hey Spike TV, have you guys ever heard of Dark Horse comics or Image? Or even Devil's Due? Probably not.
At least their biggest moment in comics portion gave us plenty of choices including the death of Captain America, the unmasking of Spiderman in CW 2 and the smackdown between Superman and Superman Prime in Infinite Crisis, but what about the reveal that Elektra was a skrull in New Avengers 28-34. I guess Spike TV people don't read New Avengers. In fact, I doubt they read any comics at all, they probably only look at publishers' solicitations.
Still, I gotta almost forgive them because despite their obssession with Grindhouse and 300, and their contribution to the decline of western civilization with TNA wrestling and Ultimate Fighting and commercials featuring boob shots and graphic violence, they do air Star Trek TNG re-runs on weeknights. where else can a sci fi aficionado get his/hers fix of the federation and the travails of Captain Picard??
