(+) Yeah! (+)

Just finished Warren Ellis's run on Stormwatch v1.

Good stuff so far. So glad I gave this a shot.

Started reading the War of Kings saga, read a good portion of it, Havok plays a big role in it, which was a nice surprise to me. I've never seen him in anything before, and from what I've already seen of him, he's pretty badass. I think I like him more than Cyclops already.

You should read Cosmic Marvel, they're REALLY freakin' good.

Except how they ruined Nova, but then again, they made him what he was before they took it all away from him, so I guess it was in their right to do so.

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/907/bandfinisher.jpg

I'm a huge fan of all the characters. UXF is probably the better book but I like the characters of NM more, definitely, as a whole. Don't care about Psylocke one bit and I've never been a Warren fan.

--
~LtM
http://img.imgcake.com/1312163320349pngag.png

Psylocke is definitely the least appealing character in Uncanny X-Force, but I still like her, which just goes to show how awesome the rest of the characters are. Archangel is awesome too.

So what characters are in New Mutants then and why should I care about them?

I guess New Mutants is just more....JSA like? They're all a bit more close than the other teams. Dani Moonstar, Cannonball, and Sunspot are especially great. And Magik, though not technically on the team for now, is one of my favorite X-Men. I don't know if Karma will be coming back again, but she's great, too. Cypher is cool. Warlock is a boss. I could live without Magma but she has her place.

UXM has Fantomex who is always good. I'm honestly getting a bit tired of Deadpool. Same for Wolverine. Already talked about the other two. I miss X-23 and Rahne on the team.

--
~LtM
http://img.imgcake.com/1312163320349pngag.png

UXF is the only book that has a good Deadpool right now... Wolverine is also at his best, as I don't care as much for him in any other book.

As for New Mutants, I know who Warlock is because he had a key role in Conquest. Did he go back to Earth and join the New Mutants then or something? When did that book start anyway?

On a separate note, Wes Craig just jumped into my radar with his art in Guardians of the Galaxy.



Some of his faces aren't the best, like Drax having a comical "whaaaaaat" expression when he's supposed to look serious and angry. Overall he's still amazing.

Back to my Wes Craig point, my god I can't just help but stop and stare at some of these pages. Freakin' beautiful artwork and expressions.

I understand you're dislike of Bendis, and nothing I have seen (admittedly very little) makes me disagree, but the second half of that convo is hilarious.

So what happened to Simon at the end of TTGL?
http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3305/187426-after_cid_large.png

That's a fan letter Johns sent to DC back in the mid 90s, where he says he thinks Superboy being a Luthor clone would be neat.

7ish years later, first issue of Johns' Teen Titans, guess what happens.

CM PUNK HATIN' ON MORRISON



--
~LtM
http://img.imgcake.com/1312163320349pngag.png

-1000 respect points for CM Punk. Luckily -1000 from infinity isn't too big of an issue.

Speaking of Batman/CM Punk, it just hit me:

- CM Punk is a guy who felt the need to retire.
- CM Punk unretired because he feels he’s needed and has an obsession when it comes to beating people up while wearing tights.
- He’s sick of an unbeatable, wholesome, insufferable superhero of a man who appears to be a tool for the system.
- His actions lead to a massive cult following with people dressing like him and pumping their fists in the air in his name.
- For standing in the face of the system and going too far, they end up sending that unbeatable superman after him.
- CM Punk feels that they could have changed the business, but he’s a political liability and John Cena… John Cena’s a joke.
- In his most private moments, John Cena will have to remember the one man who beat him.

In other words, the CM Punk angle is Dark Knight Returns.

Flatulence.

Jesus, you guys are obsessed with Bendis and will find any reason to hate him. If there's anything wrong with those four pages you posted, it's the art, not the dialogue.

What am I in denial about? I've spent more posts criticizing him than I have praising him. Hell, I've spent more time criticizing him (note: "here's a page that I HATE" is not criticism) than most of you guys!

And for the things I left blank, it's not gonna be a one word deal. Don't just put "easy" or "hard" for ease of entry, give a reason.

I plan on high praise for GL but I'm not gonna pretend it won't be difficult to get into since GL #1 may as well be GL #68.
