Basically, that book is to Infinite Crisis/52 what Morrison's later Animal Man issues were to the original Crisis, a massive piss-take on the whole concept.<BR/><BR/>I love who the Architects in Dr. Thirteen end up being. It's so obvious but yet so much fun.Scott Cederlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184941142922866755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-32375281168918778422007-09-20T07:08:00.000-04:002007-09-20T07:08:00.000-04:00I may be the only one actually happy about U3 bein...I may be the only one actually happy about U3 being only 5 issues - that gets U4, with McGuinness to us that much sooner. I don't care much for Joe Madureia's work - couple that with the fact that after two years, he's got less than 3 issues done and I can actually wait for the trade on this one. Like Loeb's got a snowball's chance of writing a better story than Millar. Sure, Millar wrote Civil War, but Loeb's never written something like Swamp Thing 140-171 or Wanted or Red Son. "Hush" and Superman/Batman 1-25 (but especially 1-6 and 14-18) came damn close but there's no contest.<BR/><BR/>Got rooked on the Green Arrow wedding thing. How stupid does Winick think we are? <BR/><BR/>World War hulk is losing me. When I was reading Planet Hulk in HC, I couldn't wait to get to the next page. Now I can't wait for this to be over. Maybe they'll kill him and just be done with an ultimately USELESS character.<BR/><BR/>On the positive side, New X-Men continues to look great. The Norman Rockwell riff on the cover was truly inspired.Marc Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293532769174212726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-13168751047982283482007-09-20T05:41:00.000-04:002007-09-20T05:41:00.000-04:00Finally read the first two issues of the new serie...Finally read the first two issues of the new series of Casanova yesterday... is it just me or are they FAR more tame and linear than anything in the first run?<BR/>On a similar tip... anyone else watching the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm? Both eps have seemed MUCH more contrived than the show has done previously... WAY more like Seinfeld Part 2. Not that I'm disliking either... just that the edges seem a bit dulled.<BR/><BR/>To anyone who does the DCBS thing... the current previews solicits the long awaited Badger V1 TPB... The Badger is the first comics series I got really into and I would still put its first 20 issues up against anything ever. How can you not love the adventures of a 13th century Welsh Druid who has the power to control the weather and his bodyguard who has the split personalities of: A broken VietNam Vet, a 7 year old girl, a French-Canadian Axe Murder and a Kung Fu Superhero.<BR/><BR/>Ex Machina and Tales Of The Sinestro Corps Presents Parallax #1, are the only books I'm REALLY excited for this week. I'll once again break my self-imposed Ennis Ban to get JLA/Hitman though...Ping33https://www.blogger.com/profile/09631445208675326795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-58645354864430802772007-09-19T19:32:00.000-04:002007-09-19T19:32:00.000-04:00should have written "monkey body/spacesuit thing" ...should have written "monkey body/spacesuit thing" above.Geoff Klockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080580776997273785noreply@blogger.com
