      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Who better to do the interview with Stan Lee than Kevin Smith, a director who dedicates at least a portion of each of his movies to comic books.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is suitable for this DVD. Images are sharp and detailed, with pleasing contrast. Colors appear generally natural. There is some pixelization and shimmering noticed, especially in panning shots of comic strips. Edge enhancement is also noticed. But, surely, image quality is not going to keep comic book fans away from this one. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #73 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I like the movie reviews, and I like the equipment tests. I enjoy the interviews with manufacturers. I also feel that you are a good source for what is coming out next, trends etc. I think you dig a little deeper in your tests of equipment. Sometimes I have to read between the lines, and I know why you don't slam some company's gear. You have more interesting reading.
