Board 8 > Comics Topic Forever: More Turtles, less purge. And more Turtles. [turtles]

(+) Yeah! (+)

At least Avengers will be readable finally.

But seriously, WHY the f*** does Marvel put so much faith in that guy? I can not understand it for the life of me.

I can understand putting him on Uncanny X-Men. That might actually be a good idea, since what Uncanny X-Men needs to do is be more of a traditional superhero team book again and not just Cylops be a jerk and Magneto/Namor be neutered. But to give Bendis the power over the direction of the X-line is just a terrible terrible idea, especially when for the first time in ten years or something the majority of the line is actually really good. WatXM, UXF, X-Factor are fantastic, and Uncanny X-men, Legacy, and Astonishing vary from decent to good month to month.

A continuity erasing reboot is also a terrible terrible idea. It was a dumb idea for DC and it's a dumb idea for Marvel. Maybe they'll sell a ton of books because PEOPLE ARE STUPID, but it's going to be bad for them down the line. If they want to do new #1's with new creative teams... cool, whatever, just don't erase the continuity.

...Marvel is rebooting now too?

Finally caught up on the last three or so weeks of comics. Really liked GLC, GL New Guardians, Batman, Batwoman, Aquaman, and ResMan. Enjoyed the rest of the comics on my pull list, even the ones that were in danger of coming off my pull list, I actually liked Batgirl, Red Lanterns was good and I'm interested in what they may be setting up (I have a feeling it's probably the return of Krona, which would actually be kinda cool), even Firestorm was entertaining.

Bendis: "just because i don't respond to a rumor doesn't make it true. it means i enjoy the circus. :) what i am doing after AVX is so much crazier than anyone thinks "

Anyyyyways, I personally doubt he's taking over the X line. Gillen's run is still young, Aaron's super young, hope the current books get a few years in 'em.

Though, that said I'm not sure how long I expect the Schism to last, anything could happen in X land over the next few years.

Bendis is the new Charles Xavier.

I have accepted it now.

As should you.

If he played Xavier in like the next Wolverine movie I'd be cool with that, ha that'd be something.

Official Mienshao of the pokemon B/W and BW2 clans
Comc pull list: UXF, WatX, XML, Avengers Academy, Defenders, Secret Avengers, JLI, and Batwing

Was waxing nostalgic for comics I read as a kid, and found some old issues of the UK Sonic comic in a box in the garage... written by Mark Millar.

Apparently he can write stories without Grant Morrison AND without horrible violence? Who knew!

--
"Biting is excellent- it's like kissing only there's a winner."

Watching Doom now. All I can say is that I'm SO SO SO HAPPY that Kevin Conroy is voicing Batman. I just... it's so perfect. I can't get over it.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7469/batfamily.jpg

Alright I'm already loving this movie. More first impressions:

Hal Jordan is Hal Jordan, he's awesome. And his brief bickering with Batman was hilarious.
WALLY WEST.
Superman being straight up badass.
WALLY WEST.
And Batman of course being Kevin Conroy and Batman and hell yes.

Also Cyborg? Interesting.

--
~Halo Live, fight, survive, as a family.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7469/batfamily.jpg

THEY TRICKED MEEEEEEEEE

It's the same VOICE as Wally West but it's still Barry Allen.

F*** YOU DC

GIVE ME WALLY WEST BACK

</rage>

--
~Halo You're not the brightest.
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/907/bandfinisher.jpg

I'm surprised it isn't Wally West since the animated DC stuff I've seen tends to use Wally over the others.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

That's what I meant. It's even the same voice Wally had in the DCAU. So I just naturally assumed it was Wally, even more so because it seemed like this movie was kind of taking from the same universe they used in Crisis on Two Earths. Which had Wally and Hal. But nope. They just HAD to change it to Barry Allen to coincide with this stupid reboot. It's even poisoned the animated features. Makes me mad.

But whatever. It was still a fantastic movie. Definitely how Tower of Babel SHOULD have been done.

--
~Halo Now you learn the mistake of challenging me.
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2734/hieis.jpg

At least Wally's still in the Young Justice animated series. DC Nation starts this weekend I think.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

I don't really care for Young Justice so that doesn't help me. Especially since that should be Bart Allen, and it essentially is.

--
~Halo Give into the Night.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/ShadowHalo/haloshadow1.gif

It's Bart in the YJ comic I think. Well this weekend has the Green Lantern animated series too and the DC shorts do start this weekend so there will be some stuff to see.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

DC shorts? Like what?

--
~Halo Now you learn the mistake of challenging me.
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2734/hieis.jpg

Seems like there will be all kinds of stuff. The one preview I saw had stuff like Lego Batman, some claymation thing and Teen Titans. That live action Blue Beetle thing should be around this year at some point. There's some short with Supergirl and 2 other female DC characters that's 1 minute per episode too.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

It's Supergirl, Batgirl, and either Wonder Girl or Donna, or both I guess. I honestly have no idea about her. And they're directed by the PPG/Foster's Home/MLP person.

Plastic Man shorts have also been announced, which should be pretty interesting!

You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.
http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif

Back before this reboot had started, if someone were to tell me a Justice League book written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee would be bad, I would tell them to get their mental health checked.

And then I would be apologizing to them right now for doubting their prediction.

HOW THE HELL is this book so bad? It's just... Ugh. I hope the next arc is better, where it's supposed to take place in the present.

--
~Halo Now you learn the mistake of challenging me.
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2734/hieis.jpg

I don't think it's bad, just...kind of average. It's no Morrison's J.L.A., that's for sure.

--
You have no time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball.
http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif

Well that's Morrison. I would never compare anything Geoff Johns has done to something Morrison has done. There's just no competition there.

But I will compare this crap to what Geoff Johns HAS done, like Teen Titans? Justice Society? Those were fantastic. And not even the artwork here is up to par with what I've expected of Jim Lee. This is just really bad.

--

What? I already know that. You are aware of my absolute love of Francis Manapul, yes?

And I don't hate Barry Allen either. He's a great character. I just want Wally West back god damn it. The two can share the role of Flash, it would be great.

--
~Halo Give into the Night.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/ShadowHalo/haloshadow1.gif

Wow, well Teen Titans is better than I expected at least. Hopefully Red Hood will be as well.

Is Superboy's solo title any good?

--
~Halo There is no Crane, only Scarecrow!
http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3739/scarecrowq.jpg

Superboy is good. I REALLY like Teen Titans. Red Hood also.

Lobdell is so fun.

Don't forget the huge crossover coming in May.

And JL isn't bad, it's just super, SUPER deconstructed. I expect it to start getting a lot better next month. I think tomorrow's issue has like 30 story pages, too.

And heya just 10 weeks until THE AVENGERS, that's like not that long folks.

http://backloggery.com/herodeltiempo/sig.gif

We can only hope. Is it still going to be set in the past or will we get present stories now?

Also I'm glad to see Geoff Johns is still sharp on Green Lantern and Aquaman. I'm enjoying these titles quite a bit.

--
~Halo You're not the brightest.
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/907/bandfinisher.jpg

The epilogue to the Darkseid story with Pandora was set in the present, so I think we're ready for the timeskip. I could be wrong though, as I haven't read the solicits.

And yeah, I think Johns is just being stretched a little thin. Green Lantern is still awesome and Aquaman is very solid.

Harsssh. Since I'm getting that series in trade, I wonder what they'll call that trade with the four turtle-titled issues.

edit: oh I see its already scheduled for July, called Turtles micro-series
