Bust a reverse Shutter #12 and charge $3.99 for it.

Just finished Civil War. I have to agree with the ComicGAF consensus unfortunately. McNiven's art is great but the entire plot just seems so forced and rushed and the dialogue seems very unnatural most of the time. I didn't like how Peter and a few of the others suddenly decide they're on the wrong team and the ending battle just wasn't satisfactory at all. So overall, Mark Millar's best work.
Only joking.
This all was fleshed out in the Tie-Ins. When you read the Amazing Spider-Man Tie-Ins, you understand way better why he changed his opinion.
Of course, the main event should translate this, too.

I'm going to read the Spidey tie-ins now. Hopefully it will clarify it a bit.

I really liked Forever Evil, but yeah Trinity War isn't really game changing or super interesting.

I know what your saying but if you read Justice League of America->Trintiy War->Forever Evil as one big event, it reads better that way.

Give DC more money after reading that? Is this a trick? It feels like a trick...

Forever Evil really is pretty legit. For an event, at any rate.

I'm not saying do it, I'm just saying the journey from JLA #1 to the end of FE was very satisfying. For instance, years from now, if you were to Google Catwomans best stories, her journey through those books will make the list. She is not even a main character but Johns did a great job of developing her character.

Fair enough. I'll pick it up. Hopefully I dig it as much as you guys seem to.
Please, no.
Interesting that Catwoman is so pivotal in the JLA and FE ends of the event, but she did next to nothing in Trinity War. I think she opened a door. That's about it.

Secret Wars #2 was okay, i liked the end a lot. Something got me tripped up in the beginning,
Anyone know? I'm always over-thinking things...
when the thor initiate was reciting the origin of the world and sayd God Doom created Light, what was that ball of light in the picture? The previous panel talked about the suns, so i'm confused if this was supposed to be something different.

I wouldn't even say her part was pivotal. Some other character could have been there. The genius is, Johns did put her there and did an excellent job adding to the lore of the character. It showed how heroic, how good she could be. Showed how much she cares.

Where is Doctor Fate in the New 52? In Trinity War Deadman made a reference to "some guy in a gold helmet I've never seen before" or something like that. Am I missing a series where he is around?
Ah. Well putting even a little of that in Trinity War would have been appreciated.

The Spider-Man tie-in issues are better than the main event.

Trinity War sucked, and if Forever Evil is good, IF it is, then boy the they dropped the ball on the tie-ins. I've read three of them, and man they are bad. Justice League Dark, Constantine, and Suicide Squad.
KoruptData

Yeah, the tie-ins were not the best. The Manhunter/Stargirl story was pretty good. Forever Evil Blight which was all the Dark books just went too long. It started strong and they were forced to use filler to fit all the books in. SS was garbage.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's all Freeza's fault

I'd bet I can find something 10x worse within 30 seconds.
But then I'd have to find it.
And see it.
And that's simply not a risk I'm prepared to take.

Really enjoyed the first two Secret Wars issues. Looks like it'll be a satisfying conclusion to Hickman's Avengers.

I didn't read Blight or most of those, but I did enjoy Cyborg's story in Justice League during Forever Evil. Rogue's Rebellion and Bane vs Batman's rogue gallery was awesome, but I like both those character(s).
is something from vanilla ass marvel or DC really be considered NSFW?

Her Death of the Family crossover issues were the only thing I read. That was more than enough for me. It was magical.

My favorite moment of Nocentis entire run and her work on Catwoman in a nutshell.
I remember you posting this before. It's pretty hard to forget.
And wow, Stark's even more of a douche in the Civil War Spidey tie-ins.

SS had its moments. Like Boomerang kicking a newly converted-to-good-guy OMAC into a wormhole.
She bangs bats and gets Bat-tats all over somehow?
