I dunno what's to hate. Basri pulls of the DC house style better than anyone that's not Manapul. I love it, everything's so crisp. He gives the colourist an opportunity to make their mark on the book, too. Basri/Gho too good.

From: the icon ownz all | #016 Christ, at least Astonishing had the excuse of a 5 issue miniseries. Though the last thing Nick Spencer needs to be doing is trying to make MORE deadlines.

I just felt that Conner's art fit Power Girl better than Basri's initially. Doesn't mean I didn't like Basri's art, and once Winick figured out what he was doing, it fit better. I thoroughly enjoyed Power Girl Vol.2, and Power Girl made it into my top 5 comic book characters, that's not easy to do.

I enjoyed nearly every Winick Power Girl issue, and I only read one issue of Generations Lost -- the one that directly tied-in to a PG book -- but Winick definitely took a few issues to get the right voice for PG. Maybe he felt a bit of pressure following up such a light-hearted, well-respected run. Nothing too distracting, just a forced joke here and there.

There was so much being set up for Power Girl by Winick.
Probably the #1 thing I'm disappointed in losing from the old DCU as far as currently running storylines were concerned. You had her new secret identity, her clone, the guy who knew who she was. Now she's Mister Terrific's "colleague" and getting into racial arguments with black women at parties. *sigh* -- ~LtM http://img.imgcake.com/AYhRdKCMAAjGS3jpggy.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm really surprised that DC was able to launch 52 books without one Power Girl book. Does the world need two Legion books that aren't written by Mark Waid? What about Hawk and Dove? Grifter? Captain Atom?

From: the icon ownz all | #027 Grifter has potential in trade, and I like that we have a Grifter book, but that first issue was...not good. Can't say I disagree with the rest.

With Janin having just signed an exclusive, I imagine we're going to be seeing a lot more of him. His style really does not work for a filler artist, though, so I imagine we'll see him take over for arcs or working on new minis sometime soon.
I'm trying to think of books Janin can do the art for where it won't look weird besides JLD...and I'm not coming up with much. I guess more Dark books? -- ~LtM http://img.imgcake.com/AYhRdKCMAAjGS3jpggy.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm disappointed in All Star Western. It might be introductory issue fatigue, it might be my reading of Northlanders Vol. 2 just prior, but Grey and Palmiotti made a mistake with the point of view character, Dr. Arkham, in this book. The second trade of Northlanders is a significant step down from the first, but one of the aspects Wood nailed was establishing the antagonist, Ragnar Ragnarsson, entirely through his clinical observations of his subject/rival. There's passion in Ragnar's letters to his King. Ragnar's motivation is clear, but not revealed directly through exposition. He's composed both in writing and stature, but when confronted with the savage killings of his rival, loses just a bit of that composure, and rather than taking up a splash page looking out upon the Irish vista with his chest out, he's hunched forward in a tiny panel on the bottom of the page under the cover of dead trees. He's alive. I don't get that in Arkham at all.
Maybe it's not introductory fatigue. I'm fine with inner monologues, observations, and the like when done well. Xanadu was great in JLD. She was appropriately eerie and pithy. Arkham, however, is so wooden, and interrupts at every opportunity. It slows the story down considerably. I'd say that All Star Western is exposition heavy, but that implies there was something to expose. Moritat was the bright spot in this issue at least. He's an effective, efficient storyteller. I'm confident that this issue could've been silent, and you would not miss out on anything important. I'm still confident in this book. G&P are a solid team, the concept of the book has me intrigued, and I'm a sucker for secret societies. This is probably just a misstep. ps yes i can and will compare every dc book to something brian wood wrote. birds of prey was okay but would be ten times better if zee hernandez was in it -- Love is better than anger.

Logan behind Thor!? that new movie must be working wonders for him. At any rate, Wolverine was just outside the Top 5 back in 2007, so with the increase in voter turnout he seems to get more votes. Plus, he's had some awesome recent comics like Jason Aaron's run(the latest issue was GREAT) and Uncanny X-Force, and he now he's got this awesome new series coming out in October, a new movie, etc. i think Wolverine was #2 on my list. i first started to love him like all the other kids back in the day, watching the cartoon and seeing him be awesome. He's Clint Eastwood, if Clint Eastwood was ALSO a ninja badass. Impossibly manly, but still a very human character at his core, like the best Marvel characters. Something we all experience and identify with. Hes a drunk and a killer. Hes anti-social. He has anger management issues. He struggles daily with the mistakes of his past. His relationships make him a sympathetic character. His sulking over Jean and Scott, his tenderness with Mariko, Jubilee, and Kitty, his drinking buddy Nightcrawler, and fatherly sternness with Amiko all create an picture of a man who loves and is loved. He is the classless biker with the soul of a Samurai. He is the unforgiving killer and the protective patriarch figure. He is insanity and often the voice of reason. he's the best at what he does, even if its not very nice. -- You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who! ...
