^^^ya the art is excellent, i just read #1 and it didn't grab me enough...i might get the trade depending on what type of reviews it gets
have you seen the preview of return of bruce wayne? lol the next few months are going to be filled with awesome morrison-bat shit lol
im sure it will be bat-shit..eloels, nah i havent seen it yet.
^^i meant of the interiors...it's at dcu.blog.dccomics.com
morrison has batman and robin 13-16, bruce wayne 1-6, and batman 700-702 coming out over the next few months...bat-shit craziness
awesome
ya i kno i saw it, thats where i first saw that cover..so i googled the image so i could get it w/o the bat shaped banner and felt like posting the brilliance..looks like tony harris art or something..eloels...and that sup bitches shit is hilarious.
before someone says it, i kno it aint tony harris..eloels, anyway, anyone read astonishing spidey and wolvey? i liked it.
i didn't buy it...i refuse to pay 3.99 for regular sized comics anymore... i'll probably buy the trade because i love both characters and the creative team.
see that hickman interview? secret warriors is wrappin up..smh..eloels.
what interview? but ya he said it's probably only about 30 issues in one i read.
Spidey and Wolvie was really good. I hadn't heard of it coming out and picked it up on a whim and found really entertaining. I also really liked the amazing spidey this week...big improvement over the last issue. B&R was also awesome. The x-man was pretty disappointing but all in all the series is good and I did enjoy the hellbound spin-off from it. I also got and enjoyed Brightest day #1. I picked up the new Batman (698) just cause it's new storyline going into 700 and found it an alright read...sort of same old same old.

interesting analysis of the demonology in batman
http://rikdad.blogspot.com/2010/04/b...emonology.html
interesting...i love that morrison's run is dense enough to facilitate this level of analysis
hell ya, no pun intended.
god, return was so fucking good..eloels, and u kno what? crucify me...but i liked siege.
I thought siege 4 was meh. having the helicarrier hit him.. they used that in iron man 2 the game..
amazing spiderman was awesome the art and story... wonder if Connors ate Billy or not?
except for flash, bruce wayne and ultimate spider-man, i was disappointed with everything i bought this week lol
i thought seige #4 and the series overall was pretty much a failure.
there was no context, no character development...the heroes barely got any lines...things happen with no explanation and had i not been reading the avengers tie-ins all the business with the hood and the norn stones as well as the sentry would've made no sense.
loki and osborn's motivations were barely explained...the whole thing was a meticulously, beautifully drawn mess. the writing was pretty terrible, which contrast that with bendis' ultimate spider-man work and it just boggles my mind. at least sentry is dead.
i'm done with the avengers.
return of bruce wayne #1 was good but felt a little light, but i want #2 right now, so i guess it suceeded. i just hope they aren't expecting me to buy that 'time masters: vanishing point' series, but morrison's kept his narrative fairly self-contained so far.
batman 699 was wack. the art was pretty but daniel's had enough chances, he is officially not a good writer.
the first 3 issues of siege were good but the ending was meh.
red hulk is thunderbolt ross and she hulk is betty ross.
^^^ahahahahahaha
i thought red hulk killed general ross, though? or was that flashback just a red herring?
jeez.
daredevils new costume
http://www.comicbookresources.com/as...1273761857.jpg
not feeling it...from the interviews i've read the shadowland thing sounds ill-conceived...but i prefer daredevil in his own self contained world.
did anyone else roll their eyes when the superhuman registration act was thrown out of panel just showing up on the times square ticker thing...i was daydreaming in class today about how underwritten and ridiculous seige #4 was...the dark avengers issue was so much better but they should've just been in the same comic.
So I caught up on house of m recently, and then someone told me about son of m, so I read that, and eventually I ended up at the silent war. After that though im not sure where the story line immediately continues?
^^^which particular storyline? with the inhumans? or with the mutants? or with marvel in general, avengers characters, etc?
for the inhumans---you would read secret invasion: inhumans, and war of kings...both of are which are not really worth buying imo
for mutants: you should get messiah complex next
marvel in general-civil war
i would say to just read whedon and cassady's astonishing x-men...because you're about to get into super-mega-event-crossover territory with civil war, world war hulk, secret invasion, seige...it gets pretty convoluted imo
which characters or writers or artists are you interested in specifically?
Hmm.. Thats a shame.Quote:

my recommendation to you is to read stuff that's self-contained or out of continuity so it's not such a nightmare to follow and there's less of a change up of writers and artists...the inhumans stuff show a huge decline in quality from son of m and silent war.
well since civil war you should read secret invasion and seige and that would catch you up on the major marvel events. with x-men, you should check out messiah complex and the x-force series and you would be up to speed imo.
if you want to stay away from events, i would recommend 'astonishing x-men' and 'ultimate spider-man'...also the series ultimate x that's only 2 issues in is surprisingly good with excellent artwork. or check out stuff like 'criminal' and 'scalped' which aren't superhero comics but are the best things out imo
dusk and kza will be able to help you out too.
with x-men
messiah complex
messiah war
utopia
second coming. its already at chapter 7 right now.
since they rebooted ultimate spider-man its good but the art might be so-so. if you plan on reading the ultimate universe I highly advise you stay away from Ultimatum.
i second astonishing x-men.
they had me with tori black as catwoman, but lexi belle as batgirl is a bonus.
i will definitely dl this once it hits piratebay lol
they are also doing other super heroes as well... The Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor, and The Incredible Hulk.
heres tori black as wonder woman
http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/Tor...oman3SMALL.jpg
also the sentry comic that came out yesterday too..
http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/0...ue-fallen-sun/
^^^hahaha fuck sentry. he's been the most baffling character to me since i started reading comics again. the concept has a lot of potential but they never went in a particular direction with him. he runs like a pussy from everything, but then he beats up thor.
he's marvel's poochie.
i hope he stays dead lol
i think gianna michaels should play wonder woman.
i think with siege, i wasnt looking for depth, in any sense..i think i just wanted out of Dark Regin already..eloels..i wanted a status quo shift..good or bad.
^^^i hear you, but alot of the characterization and story work to put things into context was done in the dark avengers book...like dark avengers 16 should've been part of seige #4
plus alot of it just happened fast, and seemed like they had a 'to do' list that they were hastily running through.
kill sentry? check
get loki off the board? check
make steve rogers 'top cop'? check
overturn the registration act? whoops...almost forgot. give it one panel. check.
it was frustrating to read because we all know bendis is capable of alot more, but it accomplish it's goals.
i agree 100% and i did get the sense (especially having seen some interview he did addressing the issue) that he was like, oh u guys think i stretched out secret invasion out for too long? well suck on this...eloels.
ya, i'm just glad it's over...i got new avengers finale today, and aside from the self indulgent and wasteful flashback pages (nice monologue though)...that was a good comic. loved the surprise appearance lol bendis is so hit or miss it's ridiculous lol
new avengers finale was alright, as for Flash..wtf? did he really do that..with..the building? eloels.
he went to the library and then all of a sudden built a new house. replaced a doll too
ya i was trying to allude to it without ruining the wtf moment some people might have later on..eloels.
