So!!! What did everyone think of JLA#1? I really liked the art and I thought the story was ok for a debut issue, nice little intro to GL and Batman and a decent cliffhanger at the end to keep me interested in buying issue 2. I did however find it a pretty fast read for $4! Is DC not holding the line at $2.99 anymore? Anyway I'll stick around for the first arc and then probably go back to waiting on trades.

ya it was good, pretty interesting, and Jim Lee is a boss of course..but my stand out issue this week was fuckin X Force...dear lord do i love that book

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

x-force was awesome..."genocide" is such a cool character, obviously he's holocaust from the aoa universe, but it's such a cool characterization married to that visual...opena and remender kick major ass

gotta give jla#1 a thumbs down, lee killed the artwork (some of the GL constructs were really nifty, especially the force field), but the 'story' was super-thin, there was like 4 scenes in the whole thing...reading it right after reading x-force #14 really highlighted the "pacing problems". imo it should've been a "double sized" issue and had something resembling a whole story, or at least a satisfying reading experience...go compare x-men #1 from claremont and lee and JL #1...I know writing styles change and the x-men issue is 20 years old... but even aside from that, on a basic story level and actually utilizing the pages more effectively to tell the story...so much more shit happens, the plot is way more dense...it's pathetic really.

i dunno though, the stuff with klaw's constructs in the last scene was pretty amazing too

I didn't have a hard time finding an issue of Justice League another shop had plenty of copies in stock. My main store made it on the news about the reboot. I had to drive a bit down further to get Daredevil 2 today..

What #1's is everyone buying this week? I'll probably go with Action Comics, Detective, Swamp Thing, and Animal Man.

[Dr. Simon Hurt]

action comics
animal man
stormwatch
swamp thing

^these are some of the titles I'm most intrigued by/looking forward to, so I'm especially stoked; otherwise, I think I'd just be getting mystic and wolverine this week

thought about buying detective, but tony daniels kind of sucks as a writer, lol...I may still buy that, dark knight and batgirl on impulse, though

[oDoUoSoKo]
