And yet Morbius is still around.... Another reason editors shouldn't write.

Morbius is below the 20k death knell mark(17,544 in April), it's not long for this world, Rafa

Damn rafa really hates morbius
Who can blame him? Keatinge ensnared him by doing a most fucking excellent reboot/retooling/what the fuck ever you're gonna call it of Glory, and then duped us all by making a Morbius book that's BORING AS SHIT.
Not much longer, I guarantee you.

Grant Morrison could be writing it and wouldnt read that shit

Morbius is the blandest superhero comic Marvel is producing currently. It feel like it stepped out of some portal from the 90s, or DC's nu52 or some shit
Boring dialog, dull voiceover, attempt at humor(?), bland artwork, this one's got it all folks

You rock Birdie, thanks!
am i the only comics-gaf person reading Buffy and Angel dark horse series? Thoughts on it?
Buffy's been iffy but i've really lost interest in Angel, there's only one issue i really liked of Angel & Faith so far, the one with Samnee art. I really liked a lot of the beginning Season 8 Buffy arcs but the last big Twilight arc lost me and nothing has been as good as early season 8 since.

Link says it's not cancelled after all. Not that I would notice it's absence

OH MY GOD...
Fucking awesome interview.
a morbius book should have him as lead scientist/explorer at a.r.m.o.r., not constantly turn him into the misunderstood/brooding vampire trope. that shit gets old.
im hoping that whatever multiversity is, its better than final crisis

uh what could be better than final crisis?
final crisis was boring dude. it wasnt fuck terrible like identity crisis, but you couldnt pay me to read it again

That's going to be really hard.
not really. grant can do better
Hopefully Multiversity, but that will be no easy feat. Final Crisis is just about freaking perfect.

youre free to your opinion, but other than the snapper/cheetah sexing that went nowhere, and the battle of the supermen, it was boring

That was not by Morrison.
If you read the 12 issues provided by Morrison (FC 1-7, Submit, Superman Beyond and the 2 Morrison Batman Issues) it is great

I need to get the final crisis HC> I missed the superman story when it was happening. I fell like it kinda ties things together.

What? is Final Crisis some kind of inside joke here or something?
It was awful!
On the same level of suck than Fear Itself.

Yeah it is really a mess when you don't read it in the right order and have all those useless tie-in books that could in no way follow Morrison's idea about final crisis.
While JLA was his superhero epos, FC was the carefully constructed message about his previous storyies and all the other stories in fictional universes in my eyes. (It is especially interesting to compare Morrion's work on these issues with Stephen King's in his DT books, fascinating explorations on those issues by both men)
Heck, I'm not sure what lead to Johns and Didio greenlighting the story as a summer event and that it was supposed to have happend in the DCU. It was a meta story about the industry, artists and the general purpose of ideas and creativity. It was the end of the world, that never ends. Alone the metaphors Morrison loaded into his Darkside for this were more than most mainstream author's can place in a 100 issue+ run.

When you have the money - try to get the Absolute Edition. It's is not only gorgerous, but the only version that expands on the last issue of FC and spells out several things that got lost in the regular edition and it makes the main villain quite a bit stronger.

I was talking about final crisis overall with that comment, not just the Morrison issues
I was wondering about this, may have a little extra cash soon, will probably pick this up.
Rafa will probably be happy to hear that Batman #21 will ship with an embossed cover

Will there be an embossed, die-cut, chromium and 3-D cover? I mean all at once, maybe throw in some trading cards?

Yeah, they fixed some of my bigger problems with that rushed conclusion. The final battle is just two reallllly compressed pages in the original release, but there's several new pages in Absolute Edition that strengthen the cliamx and give Mandrakk more explanation to the reader besides "inexplicable space vampire who's suddenly the main villain and then is killed in 2 pages"
They need to bring back Fatal Attractions style hologram covers first.

No, you'll have to get your trading cards somewhere else.
The 90s revival rolls on at DC, hitting all the usual stops along the way!
It really pains me that there are exclusive story pages in that book. I'd love the definitive version of Final Crisis, but not to double dip for $90+.

I'm really interested in all of the rumors going around now about what comes next for Legion. And watching Mark Waid meltdown on twitter over it was pretty interesting. Threeboot is my least favorite incarnation, but it's still Legion. So, yeah.

threeboot Legion was schway
The Justice Legion rumor that's going around is pretty interesting. Really though, I think it was just time for some new blood on the title, especially after they screwed up the roster with the Legion Lost nonsense.

I love it and they are bringing back the Rainbow Corps rings for the creative switches.
