Never read them, I read one Crichton novel and it was horrible so I never bothered with more.
Endless rarely interact with main DC. Best I can think of is Death and Lex Luthor.
I don't think she's the worst. I just feel she's a bit too what's the word.
Beige, I guess.
Especially considering how colorfully trainwrecky her comic history has been. You'd kinda expect a lot less by the numbers Former military woman than how she's portrayed.
we think Carol is the worst?
Most boring is more apt, yes.
It's a borderline miracle that She-Hulk runs the show in A-Force instead of Carol subconsciously trying her hardest to imitate Cap.
of course, but not the worst
And anyways, that was a huge assumption on Nudull's part.

Everythings coming up Liefeld
You guys do know that She-Hulk wouldn't really work as Marvel's go-to super-heroine ala Wonder Woman, considering that she's ultimately a distaff counterpart?
Sue Storm has been an important character, but quite a few writers have dragged her through the mud (Malice, anyone?) so much that she isn't taken nearly as seriously anymore by audiences. Hell, the FF, recognizable as they are, haven't had the cultural relevancy that they used to have in years.
Carol has had the rare opportunity as a legacy character to not only shed away all of the negative baggage of the Bronze Age and her infamous reputation as a walking cheesecake factory, but to also be reinvented by a popular writer and enjoy a huge fanbase in the wake of women becoming more visible as comic fans. Marvel has been pushing her so hard lately because she became that strong as a character and a rising icon for geek women.
...and seriously, what the hell at that Cap comment? :/
I don't hate Carol and I appreciate the symbolism of popularity. I actually kind of love it since most of my favorites are women; having one become a new age icon is great on a whole multitude of levels.
But Carol is dull. Like, respect to what you said about Jen and Sue, Carol is still very dull in comparison. I think she's mostly a more brazen Cap and that's not a bad thing because I like Cap! But that is how I see it.
Honestly though? We should be able to have our cake and eat it too on things like this. Carol, Jen, Sue; they're all great in their own way and they should all be culturally celebrated.

I would argue that Carol has been dragged through the mud far more than Sue and in more recent times, which is probably holding her book back(though I personally don't like the book, but there is clearly a vocal group of people that do). I just think there are better choices than her as Marvel's "Wonder Woman" when you look at all the other female heroes they had to choose from.
Also, the more popular female characters right now are just as much counterparts as She-Hulk. I'm curious to see what comes out of Spider-Gwen's popularity.

Have any of you guys considered taking out an insurance policy on you shit? It's something that has been on my mind lately and I think it should be on some of yours as well. States, prints, hardcovers, omnibuses, Ect...these things aren't like Video Games where their value drops dramatically after x amount of months. They either retain their MSRP or increase in price as they go OOP. You may want to protect your investments.

I think you'd like Saturn Girl. You should read some of her comics.
This is a legion thing isn't it

Eh? Why is Brainiac 5 planning to kill the Question?
That is one hell of a goal.

Yeah that's true. I think that adds to their character, these mysterious forces of nature that work behind the scenes. They were at the end of Books of Magic and I think Dream talked to Kyle once in Morrison's JLA run.
I had read JLA pretty much when I first got into DC and I had no idea either. He kinda came out of nowhere. Need to reread that as well.

This happened, and was very confusing to me as a kid.
You might want to consider it with the art. I have spent over 2500 on art. You must have spent more than me.
It's fantastic. He is just out of this world.
i want Carol to be huge (and she will be) but her MCU movie may end up as her most defining story. she's pretty boring these days and her solo title is super dull.
Kamala Khan is the real deal, tho. masterfull take on the pro feminist ideals that Marvel is (awesomely) trying to push these days.
i would hope all of you who rent have renters insurance and a rider for the art work

Well, I mean, I've probably spent similar amounts on physical comics. It's just that each book generally has a lower value than any one piece of art.
Well, I suppose when you're the best player in the world you need to aim beyond it!
Because imgur adds them when I upload screen grabs and I don't care enough to figure out why.
It gets better and better. The art team absolutely killed it in Zero Year.

Am I alone in thinking Court of Owls is still the best arc in Snyder's Batman? I've enjoyed all of it but the first half of Owls is just brilliant. I haven't read Endgame yet though.

I didn't read Zero Year in its entirety, but Death of the Family was my personal favorite.

First half of Owls is tough to beat, but I'd say the later half of Zero Year tops it. My general dislike of horror knocks Death of the Family out of the race (seriously, some parts felt like they were straight out of SAW), and Endgame was... well, it was great, but parts felt a tad contrived. Zero Year is an incredible origin story, and an incredible Riddler story. One-two combo like what.
I thought Endgame was the weakest. Still good but the weakest of the bunch.

It's really good right? I need to do a re read soon. Book club?

Can't believe the Endgame trade isn't out until October. I'm tempted to buy the issues separately.

I didn't doubt it was good, but man it's actually pretty amazing. I know BDSM is supposed to be the catch, that thing that makes the story interesting, but I feel like I could watch these characters fall in love even without the pretext.
Haven't finished vol 2 yet or know much about this Anne person, so I'll just assume the other team is Lisa by default.
In which case, I'm #TeamLisa.
