Happenstance Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Wow that felt like a stupidly short issue. Good but once again this was definately made for trade and that always annoys me a bit. Still Eve not being dead, I did have a feeling she might not be as the hints towards it were way too blatant. I look forward to seeing what they do with her now though, looks like her power level is being increased.
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Totally fucking knew it. Awesome. OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO VIOLENT, LOVE IT. I screamed with joy when I turned the page and just saw pink everywhere. Excellent issue. Cannot wait for the future. 9.5/10
gmac Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 some interesting shit going on in the DC Universe, the art was once again spectacular, and it's quite the story that Johns is weaving here, will be interesting to see how they fight this since J'onzz easily took care of Hal and Flash wonder why Rez has gone pink?

Happenstance Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Only read the first story in ASM #600 so far but it was pretty good, highlight though was definately JRJRs art, I really miss him drawing Spider-Man. Oh and ReZ I managed to get Goafer to borrow the first HC of Walking Dead
Shorty Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 A planet being a lantern is not a new scenario. Awesome. But too short.
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Only read the first story in ASM #600 so far but it was pretty good, highlight though was definately JRJRs art, I really miss him drawing Spider-Man. Oh and ReZ I managed to get Goafer to borrow the first HC of Walking Dead Yeah I read it now. The Madame Webb bit was good but the other back ups look fairly forgettable (I skimmed) Although I am SO PISSED that no 600 covers! FFS!!!! Anyway it was.....good/alright tbh. I don't really like Doc Ocks new look. Loved the prologue bit though. 7/10 Green Lantern was awesome. Great artwork. Loved the artwork on the last double. *Goes to read Invincible again*
Dan_Dare Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I just read it again It's just...so, unbelievably violent. It's fucking brutal!
ReZourceman Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I just read it again It's just...so, unbelievably violent. It's fucking brutal! Its amazing. Sick arc. Erm...also after a few re-reads.... I'm getting a SLIGHT Dark Phoenix vibe. God its just so stunning. I can't wait for the upcoming issues. I hate waiting.
Dan_Dare Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 You better be wrong. You really better be msn, sir!
gmac Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Thought ASM was pretty damn good, liked Stan Lee's story as it was a bit of a laugh at the continuity of the ASM universe
Paj! Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Oh. I love how they've ommited Superman in place of Plastic Man.
Dante Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Yeah for the Comic-con. Edited July 24, 2009 by Dante
Happenstance Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Well I read Sinestro Corps War Vol.2, I did enjoy it more than Vol.1 anyway. I think I just dont really like the issues of Green Lantern Corps, when its just the Earth lanterns I seem to enjoy reading it more. I figured aswell when it moved to Earth we'd get a lot more of Earth heroes but it only really seemed like a couple of shots of fighting/saving. Still, it was nice seeing the start of the build up for Blackest Night.
ReZourceman Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I feel GLC gets better as it goes on. If you want/can I would definitely recommend Secret Origin and Rage of the Red Lanterns (and Emerald Eclipse which is GLC) Sodam Yat is made of whynz.
Happenstance Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I think im just gonna stick with normal GL, im not massively interested in them anyway so it doesnt bother me that I may miss anything. I finished reading the rest of ASM #600 last night, enjoyed it. Its made me miss Spider-Man, I just cant bring myself to start buying it again. Damn you OMD!!!
Molly Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I'm not quoting people but... I TOLD YOU SO, you know who you are . Issue was so gory, amazing though. To be honest, I loved naked Eve.
Dan_Dare Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Naked Eve was luls- if only because they had to quietly hide any nipples etc, while it was perfectly fine to have a man having his entire skin burned off shotly before his skull is headbutted in to disintegration. oh America. Should take this opportunity to note that i'm not saying I want to see Eve's nipples. Jus' sayin :p
ReZourceman Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Dude I totally wanna see them. Obviously pink though. ---------- http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=22193 I'm about 99% sure that Kick Ass will be one of my favourite movies of all time. Is that weird?
