You should read Uncanny X-Force when the time arises, it's so much more. Since X-23, Warpath et all are such chaff when it comes to it. Fantomex, Psylocke and Deadpool are infinite. Fuck everyone. (I love Psylocke's hair)

So read Flashpoint 1-4, and all of the Batman and WW tie-ins. The WW series was purely functional, and really a complete non-event art-wise and writing-wise. It was nothing. The Batman one was excellent. I didn't realise it was by Azzarello and Risso, whose collaborative work on Batman I've enjoyed before. Well written, and a genuine shock/horror moment, which is usually a sign of something being effective. @Daft, if you liked this, check out the Broken City story the two did on Batman in the early 2000's. Andy Kubert is always a pleasure to see doing art. Flashpoint is enjoyable if not particularly mind-blowing. They've condensed a lot into a small timeframe, but decently. I love Element Woman and am glad it looks like she's coming back for more in the nuDC. Though there was already an Element Woman in DC before. Possibly a Vertigo character? Think she was a depressive and killed herself. EDIT: Yeah. She was the female version of Metamorpho that was so forgotten about she only made one appearance after the 60's in Neil Gaiman's Sandman, where Death comes for her or something. I should really read Sandman.

Hmm, yeah, annoying that I get notified when a post I'm tagged in is quoted to, even though it has nothing to do with me.

Interesting. Potentially useful.
-
I was going to read the Wonder Woman tie-in anyway, and I'll give Batman a go. I doubt it's the best thing ever (lolz) but Batman is more often than not win so it's all fine.
-
I might power through Flashpoint 1-5 out of mild interest. Do I have to read the (I assume fairly shitty/irrelevant) countless miniseries associated with it? If I do, which are worth it?

NIGHT 7 IS OVER The woman is slashed across the face by green energy, produced by another. She’s roughly shoved to the floor and knocked unconscious by another energy blow. She wouldn’t be doing anything tonight. The attacker smugly click-clacked away. - The leather-clad woman sees what she thinks is her target down the hallway. After assessing the situation she slinks away. The person she was looking at sees the reflection of the woman behind her in the computer screen, but too late for her to make a counterattack. Punched square in the face she falls to the ground. She looks up, only to meet a face full of gunfire. - Jonnas is dead. He was Sage, the power-boosting, computer-minded X-Woman.

What song(s) are you really into at the moment?!

I've been looking for this remix for probs a year. It was on some random video I cam across on youtube of like a fashion show or something, and could never find out which mix they used in the background. Ripped it off the yt vid as a last resort, only to stumble upon this last night completely by chance. FINALLY. It's so good. I dun wanna be alown whur us muh maaaahhnn. -
Yeah I'd rather see modern stuff. Falcon could be cool. From what I know of their relationship (having never actually read comics about it) it was an attempt to pair two heroes together to havep political/social commentary-tinged adventures, in the vein of DC's Green Lantern/Green Arrow series. Like Cap having to look at a different side of America in Harlem blah. That kinda idea could be brought into modern times I think, but would take a lot of careful writing and planning.

My family are very close, I was raised with several aunts and uncles being a huge part of my life, and same with my (2) cousins. Maybe cause my family relatively small it's easier to all stay familial and havegood relationships. I have a very close relationship with my mum and sister too. Don't really have family gatherings as a *thing* since we just have dinner/meet-up as a when. Less now as people have moved for work and stuff, but ya.

Though Chris Claremont's writing is crap now and doesn't work nowadays (the medium has moved on to just plain BETTER writing), his classic X-Men is very good, plot-wise and is just solid without having chaff. After too many issues in quick succession you get sick of the constant exposition and characters explaining to themselves and/or others how their powers work for the milionth time, though.

Superman Beyond 0? Is that Morrison? Like Superman Beyond 3-D or whatever that Final Crisis issue was called?
-
Sorry for long day phase, I'm looking after people and haven't had much time on the computer. Night phase may be longer too! A blast ripped through the room, slamming into the woman and knocking her fatally into the wall. Her crumpled body lay motionless. mr-paul has been killed. He was Psylocke, the telepathic ninja X-Woman.
-
I can't help but feel like the quite substantial period of time he was a 'hero' on the X-Men has been sortof brushed over - his characterisation in Thinderbolts - while obviously not EVIL - doesn't feel like the same character. I can't remember how his X-Men tenure ended...was he sucked into Xorn's head? What happened after that?
-
Yay Havok! The theory was that he (and Lorna) would end up with X Factor. The more things change... X-Factor doesn't feel like an X-book though atm, maybe they're making it more so to save it from cancellation or something. They have no business on Utopia, and I think Siryn being in one panel of the last issue of Uncanny was the closest they come to working with the X-Men right now.
-
The Detective Comics one is ridiculous. Some look like videogame title screens or something, need to see them on the comics to judge. Not keen on Justice League at all. Not bold enough. Wonder Woman's is cool considering Azzarello has said the book is going to be less of a superhero book and more horror.
-
Ghost Rider is actually a potentially stunning idea. I'm planning a 'come dressed as a character from anything' party too, for my birthday, but need to get my costume thought of first.
-
^ About to say that. That's the most quoted by far. It's almost in pop culture. It's like...bubbling below the surface. Godamn Batman. People will use it without knowing where it's from.

NIGHT SIX IS FINISHED - ‘Back off, bitch!’, cried the blonde woman, and a fight ensued. Elsewhere, Spiral mourned her loss. - The leather-clad figure gets her result, and goes to leave the part of the ship she’d snuck into, but is struck by a strange force. - The woman stubbornly refused to do anything tonight. There was enough confusion as it was, no need for her abilities to confuse things further. However, without using her mental abilities, and her anger clouding her mind, she was taken unawares by the shadowy figure behind her. A swift blow to the head and she was done, her lithe body slumping to the floor. A power-boosted onlooker ran away. - EEVILMURRAY is dead. He was X'ian Coy Manh AKA Karma, one of the X-Men's 'New Mutants' who could possess minds.

Some silly cunts are so slow at handing in actions. I'll give them a while more after this post, then I'm calling it.

Yeah, it's a stunning film. Feels realy like...sinister/weird in my head when I think about it, like a dream or something. The fact there's so little speech in Sylvain Chomet's films lend them a really dream-like feel (as well as the style obviously).

I grew up on Abba, but I just realised how fucking amazing this is. Like..I can't fault it. It's a perfect lump of solid musical pleasure. There it is. We all love the outro. I want to dance to this on a table in a large hall, during a Viking feast. Goblets of mead clattering. -
Inspired by the QUEEN OF MUSIC Cher Lloyd and how lolz she is. I just love that smiley face.

Tonight chairdriver and I met Grant Morrison. We went to a great talk/in-discussion thing he gave (he answered one of my question!) and then we queued for 2 hours (but it was fine and felt short) to meet him and I got my JLA and Batman & Robin (and his new book) signed. He told us about his plans for his upcoming Wonder Woman (All-Star?).

Daft is a young comic fan. He doesn't yet have a fully working gauge of what is good and bad. It will all come in time.
