ReZourceman Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I see where you're coming from with Iron Man, but there is some...amazing characterisation episodes with him and his interactions with the others. So good.
Dan_Dare Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 It's...almost there. I'm just used to Fraction writing him with...bigger balls.
Dan_Dare Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 So X-Men is gearing up to the 'Schism' event - looks like X-Men vs X-Force, or some such.
Happenstance Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I dont think its a simple as that. From what I read its just those who agree with Cyclops and those who agree with Wolverine.
Dante Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Major DC announcement on June 11th Well, at least we now know when DC is planning to release info about the big changes expected to their DC Universe line following the conclusion of Flashpoint. The LA Times has announced that both Geoff Johns and Jim Lee will be appearing at its “Hero Complex Film Festival” on June 11th to drop “bombshell announcements about the future of Superman and the entire DC Universe.” Tickets for the event, which also includes a double feature of Superman The Movie and Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, along with a Q&A with Donner, cost $45, meaning that – let’s face it – most of us will be following along on the internet.

Daft Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) The future of Superman? Any chance they could make him, oh I dunno...make him interesting? Just watched such a dark episode of Batman Beyond. Some dude had the technology to phase through matter (so he can walk through walls and shizzle) but in the end he loses control of it and the only force that has an effect on him is gravity. He just sinks through the floor. Terry's like 'What's going to happen to him?' and Bruce is all 'That dude is totes fucked. He's heading for the centre of the Earth and that's where he'll stay.' Darkness. Edited May 23, 2011 by Daft
Dante Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 The future of Superman? Any chance they could make him, oh I dunno...make him interesting? Maybe it will happen sooner with Paul Cornell because he is now writing Superman after his Lex Luthor Action Comics arc.
Daft Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Wasn't Reign of Doomsday meant to be poo? TBH, I've never tried to read Superman. The only Superman I'm interested in is Superman Beyond. And when I say interested I mean positively erect for. The only Supes related thing I read is Superboy and that is hardly related at all. Except for the bit where I was fucked over by the whole RoD storyline that started in Superboy #6 and ended somewhere else. Balls.
Paj! Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Supergirl by Peter David is also stunning. Not even about anything you'd associate with the super-family in any way. Don't think you see or hear a word about space at all. And Superman appears for a second, and is done well. The first/only(?) trade of the series collects the essential first story. I bring this series up every few months, but only cause no one ever bothers to read it. It's nothing to do with the current Supergirl btw. It deals with spirituality, occultism, psychosis, human nature, blah.
Dante Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Wasn't Reign of Doomsday meant to be poo? Yes but part 7 - 10 is going to be written by Paul Cornell. People liked what he did with Lex in Black Ring arc, so maybe he can handle the Doomdays and Superman. Wasn't Superman in Batman Beyond under mind control?
bryanee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Wasn't Superman in Batman Beyond under mind control? The cartoon? Yup Starro had him under his control and then the rest of the JL apart from Bats

Daft Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Already pre-ordered Batman Beyond, Superboy and Flashpoint. Just decided to order Flashpoint Batman Knight of Vengeance since it's only three issues. Finally read Gates of Gotham yesterday. Did anyone read Gates of Gotham? Pretty haunting with all the bodies in the water, and I do love me some Hush Totally agree. Also, I love the cover art. Also, had no idea it was in the current continuity with Dick acting as Batman. Also, I literally happened across Damien Wayne t'other day. He seems badass. When the fuck did he happen?

Also, I literally happened across Damien Wayne t'other day. He seems badass. When the fuck did he happen? Um, 5 years ago? Grant Morrison made him (although...i guess O'Neil/Bruce/Talia did...?) and Dicks been batman for over two years now. Ever since Died, and then got sent back in time
Happenstance Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 He's been around for a couple of years in this continuity. Brought in "Batman and Son" story arc if I remember right, became Robin after Bruce Wayne "died" in Final Crisis. I think he was "made" when Talia drugged Bruce or something and she had her way with him. I think he had been in a story years ago as well as a baby or something but was retconned out. He seems to split the fans, some hate him and some love him. For me id rather have Tim Drake back as Robin but Damien is actually fun to read when put with other heroes, especially the issues he has appeared in both Batgirl and Supergirl.

For me id rather have Tim Drake back as Robin but Damien is actually fun to read when put with other heroes, especially the issues he has appeared in both Batgirl and Supergirl. Ah, right. I don't really read any of the continuity so he's a new one for me. I wikipedia'd him. Seems pretty cool. I think it kind of makes sense that Tim Drakes personally. But then I've kind of got used to him as Red Robin in Superboy. Although when Dick joins Bruce in Dark Victory it is freaking awesome. Damien, from like the two panels I read, seems to have that kind of restless attitude.
Paj! Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I don't get it. Damien Wayne is the best damn thing. As are Batman And Son, Batman R.I.P, Final Crisis etc etc. You find much else like it in comics.
Happenstance Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Just managed to order a copy of the Robin trade I wanted to get yesterday but was out of stock then:
ReZourceman Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 The Red Wing Air of Quitely about it. Is anyone else excited about triple Green Lantern?
gmac Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah so Green lantern. Didn't see that coming Love the letters page from the walking dead he got so much grief for what he did to Carl
Happenstance Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah I was waiting for ReZ to read this weeks GLs before I mentioned that but it was a pretty big wow moment. Not sure what I think of the the War of the Green Lanterns though as a GL event, for me a lot of it has just felt a bit pointless.
