Yeah, but someone talked about a grimness arms race. Well, it started there.

Man Without Fear is actually pretty delightful.
"God only knows what it looks like."
Maybe the best last line in comics, ever.
No, everything he did in the 80s was pretty good. But after his batman, everyone was like: "Gotta be darker!".
Even spiderman was depressing and gloomy. (tho it gave us Kraven's Last Hunt).
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Sandman is what got me deep into comics, and I still think it's one of the greatest reading experiences I've ever had.
But also, Scud: The Disposable Assassin

9/11 drove him insane. Like, actually insane, he was in New York writing Dark Knight Strikes Again when it happened.
This explains why it deteriorated, too.

why didn't marvel just release the Nu52 like Marvel did with its ultimate line? They had such a good continuity up to final crisis.
Well, I for one like that they are just swapping creative teams. The whole continuity reboot was cool but that's because DC was shit IMO before DCnU.
That's not what he said. He asked why the New DC isn't like the Ultimate Comics instead of being a complete reboot of the main continuity.
Yup. Totally didn't read that one accurately.
I read that during the New 52 reboot they had lists of specific events that had happened, and others that had not. For instance with Superman, he did die and come back so the Death of Superman story is still there, while other things didn't happen.
So I guess Cyclops isn't dead?
...nah, its a trick, he's gonna die
What if it's the Cyclops from All New X-men?

JL #13 will have a double-page spread ad for match.
Yeah, it definitely wasn't a major character. Hell of a series though.
Also, I'll always remember the Grant/Breyfogle Batman runs fondly.

Scud is easily one of my favorite comics of all time. Cool art, cool writing, and just enough insanity to make it all work.

He is dead, from a certain point of view. I mean, the guy's hangin' out with two former X-men arch villains and also a girl who has spent a lot of time in Hell. I think. I've never paid any attention to Magik. At all.
But no way, he's gotta die. I mean, they're using the Phoenix, someone has to die.
Unless they kill Hope for a Very Special Issue.

I would love to be wrong but Cyke is most likely dead.
You know they're going to.

I love the story Brubaker and Cooke tell about how they wanted to desexify the character with her new costume and literally the second someone else drew her, it was unzipped to like her bellybutton.
Doesn't she like bang Bats in like the first three issues of he on going?

Read the first volume of Fatale. So good. I hear people say its Lovecraftian, but I've never read any Lovecraft so instead it reminds me of a bit of Sandman with its twisted fantasy elements. Good stuff. Bru and Phillips never fail as a team.
Just ordered Prophet, Glory, Runaways vol 3 (I lost my vol 3 a while back I'm just completing my Runaways collection again), and Saga on Amazon which had a 4 for 3 promotion on all those.

That's why it's a good costume, it's versatile. I like both ways. The zipped up suit is a good worksuit for theiving, whereas the unzipped look just looks good. I liked the interpretation in Arkham City, it was almost Bayonetta levels of hilariously sexy. And Guillem March draws the hell out of that costume.
Yea, I could swear they got it on in like the first three issues.

It's such a great comic. Storm gets shot in the butt, literally. Then later she sing Proud Mary.
i actually have that issue and like it, just not a big fan of the scarlet witch cover. I think X-women was the first manara thing i've ever bought.
I forgot that this Wednesday was a fifth week Wednesday :/
Guess that means another week for AvX 11. Have they released a preview of the book yet?
I read the first 7 issues of Aquaman after it was recommended here. Seems decent so far. I will probably at least finish the arc I am on and go from there. Ivan Reis art is always easy on the eyes.

If they kill Hope all of AvX will have been worth it.

It's the Norman Osborn. That's the style's name. No matter the adaptation, the man's head is always black and red stripes.

So, the creative pairings for Marvel NOW! Point One have been announced. Some are more obvious than others, of course.
The two obvious ones:
Brian Michael Bendis & Steve McNiven - Star-Lord/Guardians of the Galaxy
Matt Fraction & Mike Allred - Ant-Man/FF
The less obvious:
Jeph Loeb & Ed McGuinness - either Cable or Nova
Kieron Gillen & Jamie McKelvie - One would expect Wiccan, Loki, & Miss America (Young Avengers?), but there are conflicting rumors
Nick Spencer & Luke Ross - Young Avengers? Cable? Nova? Nick Fury, Jr. framing sequence?
Dennis Hopeless & Gabriel Hernandez Walta - Young Avengers? Cable? Nova? Nick Fury, Jr. framing sequence?

Read the latest Catwoman and Wonder Woman issues. Catwoman was especially "meh", Expected more out of that story arc and was kind of let down. Wonder Woman at least took an interesting turn with that cliffhanger!
I finally decided to listen to the almighty T.T.O.B. and picked up Orchid a few weeks ago, and man oh man that's some good stuff. I need to learn to listen to you guys more often lol.
Another special one I've caught up with is Fatale which I've instantly fallen in love with. I love the darker tones of the book and how it basically started off with a bang. Plus, I love noir themed books.

I want to say he's rocking horizontal cornrows.
let's take a wild guess based on the rumors of Secret Avengers going to Nick Spencer after Remender leaves, with Nick Fury Jr as the leader?
