Good advice for most comics. Don't think too hard...

I have the world's greatest Team Robin story in me, if only DC would let me write it. All the Robins at the same time, he picks them all up within a year of each other and has them work as a team. Including Stephanie, why the fuck not, gotta have a girl. Part Turtles, part Harry Potter, part Grange Hill. It would be amazing.
It's all about telling good stories. Leave science and logic to the nerds.

Jason in the role of Zammo?

Exactly! Just say no. That would make Batman Mrs McLusky. Dick Grayson would be the Todd Carthy all-rounder.

Started going through my haul for this week. Really enjoyed Saga, Invincible and Elephantmen so far. Didn't get to the Marvel or DC stuff yet.
Also didn't read Chew or TMNT yet as I need to read through the trades and back issues first. I'll get there.

I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Maybe the DC Lil'verse would allow something twee like that. I'd let you write it.

DC is turning into a company that just charges for fanfiction
Van Jensen and Venditti take GLC and Charles Soule takes Red Lantern. And Fialkov just confirmed what we already knew.
So, there. That's all we know.
e: I, for one, am super thrilled that the author of Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer is bringing his own sensibilities to Green Lantern, he said, lying.

Nextwave! And some of the best issues of Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Spider-Man pre-Ultimatum.
Also, yeah, at this point, how does anyone at Warner Bros thinks it's a good idea to keep any of DC's editorial staff? Like, sure, they're not bleeding money through every orifice, but I'm convinced that anyone would be able to do better without making the entire company look like a bunch of clowns.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! Seems like Nextwave is the consensus, huh.
Also, which issues of those are considered the best?
denial wave. It's so bad, that we have to wait for the delayed reaction of them realizing how truly fucked everything has become. Right now, the ship has launched, taken it's first big dip, and they're still expecting it to rise and float. They're damaging the credibility and what little respect this already troubled market had.

Things are heating up in superior spider man. This is more entertaining than i thought it might be.
avengers are bringing the hammer down on spider man next issue, after the whole murder and excessive brutality bit.

Excuse my ignorance but who or what is TTOB?
he's like rafa but gone now
no that's the universal communicator that the NA team put together. it was also cleverly mentioned in Avengers in a conversation between Banner/Stark
I hope it'll be a talky issue, since a big fight scene would be kind of boring.
OOOOH now I remember! Thanks!

eh..
superior is good, but a fight scene would last all of 30 seconds. Spidey can't solo the avengers. Who do you think he is, Cyclops?

Holy crap Avengers #8 was great. Hickman stepping up and just pimpslapping the doubters. That page with Hulk was fucking amazing, I looked at it for a full minute. Dustin Weaver was sick on this too, I've never seen his stuff before, what else has he done? Really great little touches in the art and character moments.
Is it me or have the Avengers been portrayed as something of a blunt instrument recently. Between how they come across in the X-books as slightly paranoid of mutants, and outright hostile to them in UXM, to this issue where they give this terrified kid the bum rush. I mean wtf, give him a sec to catch his breath, the fight escalated so quickly. I'm hoping that this is something Hickman is playing with - he's starting his run with the Avengers at the height of power and arrogance (esp over in New Avengers) and becoming massive and sprawling. I don't think this is going to last forever, I think he'll tear them down by the end.

no, he needs to not only solo, but take them all down, to cement in the whole Superior thing. Of course it all eventually falls apart due to his own actions, but yeah he really needs to defeat the Avengers in a total WTF, showing how much holding back Peter Parker has always been doing.

uh...i think at that point I would just put the book down and read something else. Spidey not holding back during civil war struggled with
Cap alone. Add Thor, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, Etc and it's overkill.
He'll talk his way out of it somehow, who knows- much like Cyclops
almost
(that's the yolk. or the gimmick anyway. I didn't say it was kosher, but that's the trick. Petey never once used his whole potential, even when he thought he was going all out. The point is for Ock to do amazing things with Peter's body to show off both how Amazing Spiderman is, and how ultimately self-defeating and fucked up Peter never knew he was.)

I see. re-reading the issue, I just realized superior was the one who totaled that guy's car- with him in it. THAT'S going to come back to bite him in the ass.
At this point I think Ock's time has come to an end. He's been crossing all sorts of lines in both Spidey's life and Peter's. He's abusing the power, I think we've already cemented how much Peter's been holding back. I don't think he'll be able to talk his way out of this one, he might escape, but the center cannot hold at this point. Otto's past the point of no return.

Eh, there's a few things going on plot thread wise (peter getting his degree, potential romance with that classmate, osborne returning) that seem to indicate it's way too early for ock/pete to turn into public enemy number 1.
The avengers know his identity, so if they decide he needs to be put away for murder/brutality or whatever then there's no using peter parker to avoid it.

Tony Daniel is leaving Action Comics as of issue #21...
I'm severely disappointed in DC for allowing Fialkov to leave GLC and RL. I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with his positioning of Guy Gardner as a RL and prepping of John Stewart for more focus in GLC. Fialkov had great concepts for where to take both series and I was absolutely looking forward to seeing him work his magic on the Green Lantern universe. I love DC but this is just embarrassing. Both writers have left before their first issue even hits the stands, hinting at editorial interference and creative differences. Why can't writers just do what they are paid for and craft intelligent stories? I can't defend this stupidity.
As I understand, Charles Soule, the new writer of Swamp Thing is taking over Red Lanterns. I'm not familiar with him or his work. Is there someone who is who can clarify what he might bring to the table?

Izzat the $75 Wonder Woman Archive that came out this week?
And I've been at work almost all day, but even without new books to read this Wednesday has made for some highly entertaining reading, based on this thread alone.

I enjoyed him as well, except for the cover, where it kinda looks like Jester is a midget, even though I know he's suppose to be doubling over with laughter.
Also, SSM has been a good read, all six issues.
