I wish they gave it someone like Frank Miller instead. I'll take ambitious failure over consistent mediocrity any day.

Teen Titans by Frank f***ing Miller. Now that is an interesting comic book

Just received my Gotham City Imposters Beta code, but it's for PC, and I don't think I'll play much of it for the time it's up. Does anyone want it? I'm thinking Halo, considering his huge love for Batman and new computer. But if he doesn't want it, someone else can claim it.

Join us nightly starting on Wednesday, October 5, 2011, and ending on Sunday, October 9, 2011. Servers will be open from 7:00 PM - 12:00 AM EST.

In case you want to know what time you can play it.

No, because it's my only dose of Tim Drake. I'd rather not have him in the hands of Frank Miller.

Ah. There's a ton of fantastic Marvel comics from the last 10 years. They've probably been the best publisher over that course of time, though Image has taken over in my mind in the last couple. If you want good, recent Marvel comics, Daredevil and Punisher just underwent relaunches. Daredevil might be the best book on the shelf. It's four issues in, while Punisher is three. Neither book requires prior knowledge of either characters, but both are written by two of the best: Mark Waid (Daredevil) and Greg Rucka (Punisher).

Captain America has been fantastic, but Brubaker has been on that book for ages. The new relaunch of both Captain America & Bucky, and Captain America are new reader friendly, but it's for the best if you just go to a library and start picking up Captain America trades.

Spider-Man, the greatest of all superheroes, in first place(although not to the same extent Batman trounced EVERYBODY in the DC poll)! Thor was pretty close to Wolverine, but yeah, its been a good year for Thor, I'd say.

Now that it's over, I made a bracket based on the top 50 Marvel/DC characters:

http://challonge.com/csbg

it's seeded according to their placement on the list

I dunno if I should actually run the contest though, just wanted to see how it'd look. 100 entrants makes a weeeeird bracket

you can make predictions if you want. I allowed 5 so you can make favorites brackets and "who would win in a fight" brackets for your own enjoyment if you're bored

there's also dick/damian in round 3

I think I'm just gonna be done with Superman altogether. I'll give Action one more issue but that's it. The only one I really liked was Superboy, which is probably only because I don't know enough backstory to be mad that they made him into a clone.

I just don't like this new direction they're taking him in at all. I was hoping Superman, being set later than Action, would be better, and it was, but it still has that... that vibe to it. That anti-Tea party vibe. I don't like that.

I was reading some old Uncanny X-Men and X-Men issues at work today on my computer...and Jesus Christ do I hate John Romita Jr.

His Uncanny issues are terrible. I actually liked the issues but the art was so bad.

And Andy Kubert was doing the X-Men issues that ran along side them so it made them look even worse.

His faces are just...not faces I want to see...ever.

Went to the comic store today...grabbed Aquaman and Firestorm myself. My friend got USM and Red Hood and my girlfriend got Flash and Wonder Woman. And my friend's gf wanted Severed #2 but they were out, unfortunately. :(

Aquaman was AMAZING. It was a little decompressed, but it was hilarious with a good amount of action, and the exposition was handled well. My friends loved it too. 5/5
Firestorm....was ok. It's kind of a bland origin story but things should heat up next issue. The art in the action scenes with the Firestorms was great, too! Kind of interested in where this is going. Oh, and "WHY DON'T WE HAVE ANY BLACK FRIENDS" is the dumbest thing. 3/5
USM was pretty good, Bendis or no. The only time the writing really annoyed me was when he's explaining the spider to his asian friend and it's like "I WAS BIT BY A SPIDER" "YOU WERE BIT BY A SPIDER?" "YES IT WAS A BIG SPIDER" "LIKE A TARANTULA?" "NO IT WAS A DIFFERENT SPIDER" etc. But the rest seems cool. I definitely want to see how this plays out. 3.5/5

Haven't read Flash yet. I'm expecting BEAUTIFUL ART at the very least.

sounds awfully strange to me

usually when I go I have things in my mind that I plan to get, and maybe some other things I'm considering buying but unsure of. usually I will pick up the stuff I know I'm going to get and then skim through some other stuff (including the things I was unsure of originally + whatever catches my eye) and end up buying a good mix of things of things I had planned on and some spontaneous purchases. as for sitting in a comic shop (well, there's no chairs in my LCS so I'd be standing there) reading an entire issue - no thanks, that's weird.

we don't get many "read in store" people. a few kids, and some grown men with "problems" that we let slide. we let people sift through issues and some long time regulars just go ahead and read obscure stuff they're not sure of.
