Rocafort has an approachable style and could easily do a Marvel event, assuming he's able to keep up with the schedule. DC, I dunno. He strays too far from the house style for editorial's liking.

The last time Marvel gave Rocafort work it was for a mini-series collection they only put up digitally :/

I still need to read those Dini/Rocafort and Waid/Rocafort Top Cow books I bought.

Also dammit why isn't Maguire doing anything?

My Greatest Adventure is my most anticipated new series next month, but 10(?) pages a month just doesn't cut it, even if Scott Kolins is also in there!

Maybe I should order that Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire Metal Men book....

I'm just saying that Marvel is more likely to give a guy like Rocafort an event than DC! They're also likely to give him a digital-only comic, like you said. Comic book companies are dumb.

And cool, the Loki paperback comes out in a few weeks. I'll look around for a $12ish dollar item to get free shipping.

Books without pictures.

What an absurd concept.

Truly the concoction of a drug-addled madman.

I'm reading less books in my old age. I've only completed about 65 so far this year.

FUN FUN FUN FUN

I have read 8 books this year.

4 were alternate adaptations of Eureka Seven, 3 were the Mass Effect novels, and 1 was written by Grant Morrison.

So none of them count.

Supergods, as comic criticism, is an interesting read.
Supergods, as a Grant Morrison memoir, is not.

Zen, you realize you are the only one on earth who didn't like Wonder Woman!

It's is not a bold worthy score!

I feel like Legion should be lower. More than being a terrible #1, I feel it just wasn't a good issue.

"They don't know you're a Legionnaire, you can pretend to just be a normal teen".

Except for the GIANT ****ING LEGION SYMBOL ON HIS CHEST.

a regular came up to me at work today to b**** about how he didn't like Wonder Woman and I told him everyone else but me and him did and he was shocked

--
~Zen

It's scary, I actually kinda agree with those scores. Granted I'd bump Catwoman to a 4.5, drop Legion to the same, drop WW to an 8, and bump Red Hood and Nightwing up a point.

--
Still a badass.

Captain Atom as a 9 is kind of crazy. I mean, I liked it, but as good as Wonder Woman and Batman?

--
~LtM
http://img.imgcake.com/AYhRdKCMAAjGS3jpggy.jpg

I misread that as an 8. Anyway I'm actually not sure what to give Captain Atom. I loved the art, and the story was ok. It's probably in that 7-8 range

i actually reread wonder woman and kinda "get it" more now. I think I was cranky because I had read it back-to-back with Hawkeye which was a turd

i'd probably bump it to maybe 3/5

--
~Zen

Why does that JLD preview remind me so much of Batman: Odyssey?

"Teeth. Filthy flying teeth!"

"Old crooked witches' teeth...hurting Superman. That's all wrong..."

Geeeeeeeze.

this show finally picking up

I have seen 3 unrelated people call Holy Terror a "glorious mess". It's also apparently a love story.

"Get hyped".

When you said that I thought it was because Cassandra Cain was there, but it was Wally, so that's good. Was Cass even on the list before now? I can't remember. She better be.

Finished the 12 issues of Power Girl, the first six were alright, the last six were pretty darn good. Overall I enjoyed it, probably gonna continue reading since it's Winick and I like him.

She probably said it somewhere in a 90s issue of something, what hasn't she done. I was reading some 90s stuff and its funny how she was such a vicious psycho killer at one time, now she's been a much more tame nice character.

I don't believe she's actually a vegetarian then, since that makes no sense in the slightest bit.

Keep in mind, anything any random writer felt like throwing in there has happened, and probably doesn't make sense.

Ha, but yeah I'd like to see Poison Ivy back to being one of the crazier, stronger villains instead of hanging out with good guys.

That reminds me, does Batman even have any prominent female villains anymore? Catwoman of course hasn't been a villain really for like 40 years, Poison Ivy is good, Harley Quinn is portrayed as not so bad often, etc.

Batman needs to fight The Baroness or something.

I watched the new episode of Young Justice, and it was okay. Still don't think it's that great of a show, and nowhere near as good as Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
