Posted June 6, 2011 OMG Flashpoint #2 is utter shite. They're just squeezing way too much into way too little a space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2011 I dunno. It just didn't feel legit. I could only empathise with what Evil Batman was probably thinking; 'Another nut case dead. Yawn.' Wonder Woman was pretty rad. Basically, just too much stuff being crowbarred in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 It's no Age of Apocalypse, that's for sure. Liking Thomas Wayne as Batman though- clever little twist. Age of Apocalypse was immense though. Magneto as leader of the X-Men in memory of the murdered Xavier fighting a resistance war against a fascist mutant state run by Apocalypse. It just rocked. So many characters moved around, re designed, given new histories... it was great, and unlike Flashpoint it was given space to flex out and expand. It had texture and depth.

AoA was what 4 miniseries? only one was completely key, I think (if memory serves) it was 36 issues in total, Flashpoint is 55 :P You've got to laugh at the reboot thing though, David finch's batman is getting a new one, despite it only ever being 2 issues.

Posted June 7, 2011 I'm-a start trying to get back on track comics-wise today. Starting with Uncanny X-Force, and then the other X-titles I've missed out on in the last 6 months or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 Well we know what Justice League Dark is now: Justice League Dark, what DC terms “a band of supernatural heroes” — John Constantine, Deadman, Shade the Changing Man and Madame Xanadu (wouldn’t it be cool if they really were supposed to be a band?) – written by Peter Milligan.

Posted June 7, 2011 Well we know what Justice League Dark is now: Not something i'll be reading Realistically if they called it anything but JLD they would lose sales, surprised the swamp things not there too... Happenstance, which 1's will you be getting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 I'll actually get quite a few of the #1s but mainly out of curiosity then i'll drop them. So far the ones im planning on sticking with (at least for a while) are: Batman Batman & Robin Nightwing Batgirl Superman Teen Titans Flash JLA DC Universe Presents Green Lantern Green Lantern New Guardians Aquaman Justice League International Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 7, 2011 Srsly, why hasn't Batman Beyond been confirmed yet? Because you are the only one who ever goes on about it :p Not much of a market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 But like DC always go on about it being a fan favourite. Also, there's no excuse with turd like Aquaman being made. That dude speaks to fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2011 Tch, aquaman is cool he summons dead fish! I'm sorry daft, given the sheer amount of batman titles, it looks like beyond won't happen. What might happen is a (since JL is the new buzz word) JL of the future... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Uuurgh. If Batman Beyond stops, I stop. My foray into comics will be over. Tch, aquaman is cool he summons dead fish!

Posted June 7, 2011 I know I'm months late to the party but the first arc of Uncanny X-Force was the most stunning thing. STUNNING artwork, well-written (felt like it managed to avoid shite without trying to be 'something else', or 'cool' i.e Bendis or whoever) and just a striking story. I loved Apocalypse's Horsemen. Come the FRAK on! I loved the conclusion. Like...we have to just deal. Left me so "..." (not in a bad way) but also "...I understand." I loved how they all understood and didn't react to what happened, since like...there's no point when the deed is done. Yes. It managed to suprise me several times, something that is hard to achieve with a hardened comic reader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
