Ray's 7th DCU Megathread - Death of the Fourth OOMPH!!! (Fifth OOMPH Pending)

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Me 'n' Dan talked about my new miniseries today. Just gotta figure out how many issues it's gonna be and then we're off to the races!
Yay! *fingers crossed for a Blue Beetle and Kid Devil buddy mini*

Gail Simone.
:lol:


Is this perhaps a Glory/Ben type situation?

Worst Buffy big bad ever. Well maybe not, but still she's the reason we have Dawn.

[Black Roman]

The real GMF . . . I think.

[jason hissong]

G-

Where's *my* PM?

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Alan Scott really could do with a retold origin.
I don't know. Isn't he still supposed to have been a hero during WWII? That could make things more confusing. If it's out of continuity, I'm all for it!

It's a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In season 5....

The main villain of the season, Glory, shared her body with a nice young medical intern named Ben. Half the time uber powerful God Glory, half the time plain old Ben. I think Ray was insulting you.
Someone alert a mod! Creator bashing.

Me want
Damnit, I thought I posted it!

It's mine!

Looks like Blue to me....


Alright
It was only for 48 hours. :( Oh and Matt O. returned!

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Also according to CBR the Legion cartoon is ending this season. :( Two-part finale starts this weekend, at least DeMatties is writing it.

[THAT Sean!]

Yay! *fingers crossed for a Blue Beetle and Kid Devil buddy mini*
Nope, but keep an eye out for the July solicits. ;)

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Nope, but keep an eye out for the July solicits. ;)

:o:boogie:

[The Doctor]

Worst Buffy big bad ever. Well maybe not, but still she's the reason we have Dawn.
Glory rocked, it was Adam who sucked

G-

Where's *my* PM?
God damn it:razz:


Damnit, I thought I posted it!

It was only for 48 hours. :( Oh and Matt O. returned!

Ah and yeah I saw

[Ray G.]

Worst Buffy big bad ever. Well maybe not, but still she's the reason we have Dawn.

Dawn is awesome. :mad:

[Ray G.]

Also according to CBR the Legion cartoon is ending this season. :( Two-part finale starts this weekend, at least DeMatties is writing it.

Yeah, both this and The Batman are ending. It really sucks. :(

Hopefully the new Spidey cartoon will stick around for a while.

DC needs to do a GLC cartoon next.

[Black Roman]

Dawn is awesome. :mad:

She's as awesome as Ray himself.


:twisted:

[Ray G.]

Nope, but keep an eye out for the July solicits. ;)

:rock:

That's the conclusion of the Terror Titans arc, right?

[THAT Sean!]

:rock:

That's the conclusion of the Terror Titans arc, right?

Nope. Terror Titans ends in June.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Dawn is awesome. :mad:

Just like Spoiler and Anarky.

Yeah, both this and The Batman are ending. It really sucks. :(

Hopefully the new Spidey cartoon will stick around for a while.

DC needs to do a GLC cartoon next.

The Batman had a good 5 season run. The Legion only lasted 26 episodes. I bet we'll see the Spidey cartoon for another few seasons. At least the X-men cartoon should becoming to Nickelodeon soon.

GLC cartoon would be awesome, but personally I'd love to see Flash.

[Black Roman]

Just like Spoiler and Anarky.

The Legion and Batman are gone? :(


And Spoiler IS awesome.

[Hock]

Worst Buffy big bad ever. Well maybe not, but still she's the reason we have Dawn.

Yeah, but the very, very end of the season, with Giles, and what he did... totally fucking awesome.

[Hock]

Dawn is awesome. :mad:

Isn't that actor joining the cast of your new favorite show?

[Ray G.]

The Batman had a good 5 season run. The Legion only lasted 26 episodes. I bet we'll see the Spidey cartoon for another few seasons. At least the X-men cartoon should becoming to Nickelodeon soon.

GLC cartoon would be awesome, but personally I'd love to see Flash.

I don't know how well Flash would translate to cartoons. It's never been as...pardon the pun, Flashy as some other DC properties.

A GLC cartoon, done GL style, could really use the property to its full potential. A huge cast of characters, epic space battles, etc.

[Ray G.]

Isn't that actor joining the cast of your new favorite show?

Which one? Details plz.

[Black Roman]

I would love a GLC cartoon.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Which one? Details plz.

Gossip Girl.

[Ray G.]

Gossip Girl.

REALLY? :ecstatic:

[Black Roman]

REALLY? :ecstatic:

I have the oddest urge to give you a wedgie and steal your lunch money. Weird.

[John Drake]

Follow the money. Its all there, we're through the looking glass.

:sad:

[jason hissong]

Is Terra a member of the Titans?

[Deej]

I don't know how well Flash would translate to cartoons. It's never been as...pardon the pun, Flashy as some other DC properties.

A GLC cartoon, done GL style, could really use the property to its full potential. A huge cast of characters, epic space battles, etc.

But the Flash cartoon would be done Flash style. That would make it all sorts of cool.

And The Flash actually had a TV show.

So it definitely could work as well as GL.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Is Terra a member of the Titans?

The new Winnick team? Doesn't look like it from the early images.

[jason hissong]

The new Winnick team? Doesn't look like it from the early images.

I know nothing about the Titans.

[The Doctor]

I liked Dawn but could see why people don't like her

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

I liked Dawn but could see why people don't like her

She got better in the end, but in general she was too whiney.

[jason hissong]

I like Dawnstar.

[Ray G.]

Funk, you and Rabbitt are making my brain hurt. :lol:

[The Doctor]

She got better in the end, but in general she was too whiney.

that's her job as a teenage girl

[The Doctor]

Funk, you and Rabbitt are making my brain hurt. :lol:
ditto:surrend:

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Funk, you and Rabbitt are making my brain hurt. :lol:

He started this. He can end it.

[Ray G.]

He started this. He can end it.

Wait, so the mods cooperated with this wierdness, but wouldn't fulfill the Poo Nose bet? :lol:

[Black Roman]

Wait, so the mods cooperated with this wierdness, but wouldn't fulfill the Poo Nose bet? :lol:

:no:

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Wait, so the mods cooperated with this wierdness, but wouldn't fulfill the Poo Nose bet? :lol:

dEnny's awesome, what can I say?

[Black Roman]

dEnny's awesome, what can I say?

Yeah, Dawn awesome. :?

[The Doctor]

Yeah how'd this come about?

[jason hissong]

<---- still waits for PM.

[The Doctor]

Back later with gifts and Jason's PM:)

[Deej]

I got a PM from The Doctor earlier...and it really is a mind blowing secret. I'm not sure I should reveal what was said...

I'll miss him though. :(

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

It's mine!


Not for long!

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Damnit, I thought I posted it!


The game is afoot!


i hope I don't start replying to myself...

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

Funk, you and Rabbitt are making my brain hurt. :lol:

bwa-ha-ha-ha-h-ah-a-ha-ha

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

He started this. He can end it.

Never surrender!

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

I am spartacus!

[SteveZegers]

Is Terra a member of the Titans?

The Tiny Titans. She throws rocks at people.

[SteveZegers]

She got better in the end, but in general she was too whiney.

Yeah, but that was kind of the point. Buffy became the "mom" to the whiney girl so she had to grow up.

[Ray G.]

Yeah, but that was kind of the point. Buffy became the "mom" to the whiney girl so she had to grow up.

Buffy as "mom" killed the show.

[jason hissong]

The Tiny Titans. She throws rocks at people.

Cute.

[Matt O'Keefe]

Ray, according to Variety FNL has a good shot at making it back. I don't like that the networks are cutting pack on pilots, but at least it's saving some good shows (and some bad ones too, but still)

[Black Roman]

Huh, Matt O.'s back.

[MAK15]

Back later with gifts and Jason's PM:)

hey how was the trip doc?

[Matt O'Keefe]

The Tiny Titans. She throws rocks at people.

I read the preview but forgot to order the first issue. Really excited for the trade. Such a cute story.

[Ray G.]

Ray, according to Variety FNL has a good shot at making it back. I don't like that the networks are cutting pack on pilots, but at least it's saving some good shows (and some bad ones too, but still)

:rock:

[Matt O'Keefe]

I was pretty peeved at the thought of episode 15 being the end of the series. Too bittersweet for a finale.

[Hock]

REALLY? :ecstatic:

yeah, that's creepy.

[Hock]

Ray, according to Variety FNL has a good shot at making it back. I don't like that the networks are cutting pack on pilots, but at least it's saving some good shows (and some bad ones too, but still)

yeah, FNL really fucked up the first... 10 or so episodes of the new season. It was getting back to good towards the end though.

[Deej]

Ray, according to Variety FNL has a good shot at making it back. I don't like that the networks are cutting pack on pilots, but at least it's saving some good shows (and some bad ones too, but still)

Yeah, we talked about this a few weeks ago. They've entered into a deal that would make a 3rd season possible.

[Dark Sasha]

Not you, that other guy. You know who I mean.
:sad:

Orwell had a hard on for politics.

Huxley was a humanist, writing about negative aspects of developping technology

And steinbeck loved those struggling American working folk
Every Vonnegut novel I've read follows a very similar structure.

Ray, according to Variety FNL has a good shot at making it back. I don't like that the networks are cutting pack on pilots, but at least it's saving some good shows (and some bad ones too, but still)

I thought it already got the greenlight.

[Deej]

:sad:



Shoo Shoo retarded flu!

FINALLY!

[Matt O'Keefe]

yeah, FNL really fucked up the first... 10 or so episodes of the new season. It was getting back to good towards the end though.

Yeah. But it will never again reach the heights of the first season IMO. t was just such a great self-contained story.

I think my favorite new development is Lyla becoming a devout Christian. I think it adds some layers to her character in the show.

[Deej]

YES!

http://jerome.galica.free.fr/dc%20comics/divers/Simon_Dark_TD.gif

I work when they call me! :mad:

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Yeah how'd this come about?
Brandon decided he wanted to die young.

FINALLY!

I thought you disliked that Harm guy?

[Ray G.]

I thought you disliked that Harm guy?

Really? :mistrust:

He's one of my all-time favorite villains. What gave you that impression?

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

YES!

http://jerome.galica.free.fr/dc%20comics/divers/Simon_Dark_TD.gif

[Black Roman]

Who the hell is Harm?

FINALLY!

The fuck is that?

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

live fast

[Dark Sasha]

I work when they call me! :mad:

That's what she said.

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

That's what she said.

:fail:

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

Really? :mistrust:

He's one of my all-time favorite villains. What gave you that impression?

I don't know. I thought you said it in one of the earlier threads.

[Ray G.]

I don't know. I thought you said it in one of the earlier threads.

The guy's awesome. He was the first villain who was really out of YJ's weight class. There was the potential for a real arch-rivalry between him and Robin.

You might remember me saying I didn't like when he came back as a body-hopping ghost. That was lame.

[Deej]

That's what she said.

You fail so hard. I've never seen someone Fail as much as you.

[Hock]

You fail so hard. I've never seen someone Fail as much as you.

I think that's a bit of a hyperbole. I think a more accurate statement would be, at least in my opinion, "I've never seen someone Fail as much as Sasha, and not get a permaban because of the massive failure."

[Fake Pat]

that's so sad.

:rofl:

[Master Jack Rabbitt]

I read Comic Book Comics #1 last night. It was awesome. Informative and hilarious!

[jason hissong]

I read my first ever Matter Eater Lad story last night.

[Dark Sasha]

I read my first ever Matter Eater Lad story last night.

And?

[jason hissong]

And?

He eats matter.



Not my favorite issue of the Five Year Gap Legion thus far.

[Ray G.]

I wish I could eat Matter. :(

[Black Roman]

I wish I could eat Matter. :(

You can. It's called FOOD. :mad:

[Dark Sasha]

He eats matter.



Not my favorite issue of the Five Year Gap Legion thus far.
According to wikipedia, the writers had to always come up with something for MEL to do, so he normally just goes to other missions off panel.

In this issue he's a senator, a detective, and a prosecutor for Polar Boy.

[Black Roman]

You know. I found the perfect username for myself if I ever change my name again. "Bizarro-Ray" I really am Ray's Bizarro twin. We're opposites on almost everything. :lol:

[Dark Sasha]

In this issue he's a senator, a detective, and a prosecutor for Polar Boy.

Wow. He's all kinds of awesome.

DC Universe Reviews:


A solid start to a long-awaited miniseries, but it suffers from a problem I was worried about - not enough time spent on the Tangent Earth! That, of course, is still fantastic. The psychic Superman has taken over the world, creating a twisted utopia of perpetual monitoring in the name of eliminating crime and evil. The Joker is now a broken prisoner after years in his reeducation camps. The Tangent Green Lantern is a broken old woman, powerless since her Lantern of Life was lost in the crisis, and her agelessness with it. And the mysterious Manhunter and her partner the Spectre are on a secret mission deep in one of Superman's bases. Great stuff. Unfortunately, the story grinds to a halt when we move to our world and show the Tangent Flash, the perky Lia Nelson, interacting with our heroes to get the Lantern back to her world. Also, too much is devoted to the backstory of the world in the backup feature. A necessary evil, but next issue I'd like to see more of the main event. Especially given the big reveal at the end of this issue. The world's #1 hero, the Atom...is Superman's prisoner.


I have to disagree with you here. This is a lot better than expected for an opening issue. Definitey better than some of the comics you've previously given higher marks to...such as Wonder Woman #18.

9/10
I think the backup feature was a nice recap to the history of this Earth...and a very good idea to have. You can't expect people to have read the past minis or collected the Trades. IMO, the backup feature should have been told right up front...to get new readers acclimated to this parallel Earth.

Jurgens does a good job at opening up the story and creating a bit of a mystery to what has happened in the 10 years since the last story took place (I assume). I have the first 2 Trades and should have the 3rd shortly, it will be interesting to see what if this fills in a few more pieces of the puzzle. Hopefully, this Earth won't end up obliterated like the Elseworld ones - there's lots of potential here.

[Deej]

I just finished reading Hellboy - Seed of Destruction. It was good...however it didn't really seem to hook me into the universe. I'm willing to give it another try though, what book would you next recommend? Also, what about the Hellboy series do you enjoy?

I really enjoyed Wonder Woman! I can see it's not for everyone, but I'm loving it.

As for this, I'm glad you liked it. I tend not to be a fan of divided comics, and I feel like we've seen enough of the Tangent heroes visiting our Earth. But I'm definitely along for the ride, and what is up with you being the positive reviewer to me lately? :lol:

[Black Roman]

Well continuity wise you should read "Right Hand Of Doom". And I really couldn't say exactly WHY I enjoy it. But I love stuff dealing with the paranormal, and Hellboy himself is just a great character. Even his supporting cast rules.

Conqueror Worm is easily my favorite.

After that it's the shorter stories.

Up and Down I guess. You liked Wonder Woman, I hated it. The female Khund quoting MTV and acting like a fangirl was horrible, the whole relationship with Nemesis seemed out of nowhere to me (it could be me, I only jumped on with Gail on board) , and I had no clue who the hell the other Earth woman was on the alien planet. Seemed very silly to me.

[Deej]

Okay...but I'm looking for that one book that will say to me, YES, I want to continue reading. I agree, the paranormal stuff is cool...is Mignola making a lot of this up or is there some lore behind everything??

And if you like this stuff, did you ever pick up that series done by Tony Harris called Obergeist?? I really liked that...from what I can remember.


Conqueror Worm is easily my favorite.

After that it's the shorter stories.

Thanks. I'm just not worried about continuity as much as, is this series truly one that I would enjoy. And why not just start with what people consider the best.

The female Khund thing was a bit...out there, but I was amused. :lol:

The thing with Nemesis has been building since the Heinberg run, so that's probably it.

You didn't recognize Etta Candy?

There's real lore behind pretty much everything.

yo, how's everyone doin' ta'nite?

[Fake Pat]

Also check out BDRP.

I prefer BPRD myself.

[Deej]

There's real lore behind pretty much everything.

See, I find THAT to be the most interesting aspect. I just wish there were Cliff Notes by the author discussing which culture they're taking this from, etc. I don't have time on my hands to go digging into this stuff. Although, I guess I could google most of it...

No. I didn't recognize her. She's human but doesn't find the whole experience of being on an alien world strange or frightening...she just wants to kick some ass. I'd rather more human emotion...unless she's seen a whole hell of a lot! Besides, what can she do with a gun that the Khunds can't do with their weapons?

[Black Roman]

Alright, I've gotta go now folks. See ya.

[MAK15]

Alright, I've gotta go now folks. See ya.

Yeah probably. I got burned by IC but, it's Morrison so I'll check it out. I like JG Jones too. It sounds interesting enough.

The quality is going to end up hinging on editorial, I think. Normally Geoff Johns is a dependable writer, but he didn't get much say in what happened in his own book.

Yeah, I'm still a little nervous, but the fact that Seaguy 2 is apparently gonna happen makes me think that Morrison has DC by the balls right now.

I think they've pretty much gotta do what he wants.

[Ray G.]

Yeah, I'm still a little nervous, but the fact that Seaguy 2 is apparently gonna happen makes me think that Morrison has DC by the balls right now.

I imagine the Scotland discussion went something like this.

Didio: So, listen, Grant, here's what we're going to need you to do for Final Crisis. First, kill these 22 Titans -

Grant: *voodoo curse* The next one shrivels your other ball.

Didio: So, Seaguy II, huh?

I don't get it...

[Hock]

In this issue he's a senator, a detective, and a prosecutor for Polar Boy.

In the same issue? :crazy:

[Ray G.]

I don't get it...

Grant Morrison is awesome +2. That's all you need to know.

[Hock]

The female Khund thing was a bit...out there, but I was amused. :lol:

You didn't recognize Etta Candy?

Had you actually read anything with Etta Candy before this? Because you know this etta is basically etta in name only, she's very different from previous incarnations.

[Ray G.]

I know that(Wiki'd the character), but I just meant I'm surprised her name didn't ring a bell. She's one of the most famous WW supporting characters.

....Which, granted, is kind of like being the greatest Chinchilla shot-putter.

60 years ago maybe, but not lately.

It's looking like ASS, Blue Beetle, and Teen Titans will probably be the main contenders for book of the week tomorrow. Can't wait. :rock:

[MAK15]

It's looking like ASS, Blue Beetle, and Teen Titans will probably be the main contenders for book of the week tomorrow. Can't wait. :rock:

I look forward to seeing Ravager kick ass without Wondergirl's usual snarkiness.

[Ray G.]

Also, GL. Can never count GL out. :rock:

[MAK15]

Also, GL. Can never count GL out. :rock:

secret origins.
DC should make more of these.
that way I can introduce them to my friends and correct whatever they heard on 'ecnyclopedia dramatica'.

Also, GL. Can never count GL out. :rock:


2 GL comics in one month.

:rock: :rock:

[SteveZegers]

Well decide quickly! I'll just die if I don't find out what the book of the week is!

[The Doctor]

I got a PM from The Doctor earlier...and it really is a mind blowing secret. I'm not sure I should reveal what was said...

I'll miss him though. :(
Where am I going?

Not for long!

[Dark Sasha]

I imagine the Scotland discussion went something like this.

Didio: So, listen, Grant, here's what we're going to need you to do for Final Crisis. First, kill these 22 Titans -

Grant: *voodoo curse* The next one shrivels your other ball.

Didio: So, Seaguy II, huh?
Always with the Titans with you...:nonono2:

I would imagine Grant being very convinicing.

I can't decide if I want to catch up on all the Wildstorm books I've missed the last couple months or if I want to buy a trade instead.

[MAK15]

would it be a trade of the wildstorm books ya missed?

No, it would most likely be Superman Chronicles 2.

You haven't missed much at WS.

[Fake Pat]

It's looking like ASS, Blue Beetle, and Teen Titans will probably be the main contenders for book of the week tomorrow. Can't wait. :rock:

:lol:

There are other "contenders" for book of the week on a week when A*S comes out?

Ray, you are adorable.

[Joe Kalicki]

Dude, go with that.

You haven't missed much at WS.

That's what I was thinking.

On the other hand, I don't want my Wildstorm stuff to get too backlogged and have to spend forever catching up.

I can't decide if I want to catch up on all the Wildstorm books I've missed the last couple months or if I want to buy a trade instead.

I say get the trade. You can probably get the Wildstorm books later and it's not like they'll go up in price.

[Fake Pat]

That's what I was thinking.

On the other hand, I don't want my Wildstorm stuff to get too backlogged and have to spend forever catching up.

There's only 2 of the newer WS books really worth it, and that's the Morrison/Lee Wildcats and the Morriso/Ha Authority.

And unless you're planning on going cryogenic any time soon, you're not gonna get backlogged on those 2. :)

And unless you're planning on going cryogenic any time soon, you're not gonna get backlogged on those 2. :)

That's untrue. I would venture to say Authority is one of the weaker titles of the relaunch and it's impossible to tell is WildCATs would be any good or not with only one issue.

Anything Christos Gage writes is way better than those books.

[Joe Kalicki]

Off to buy my comics!

So this happened:
*girl walks by, I'm on a bench reading Anasni Boys*
Girl: Ohh Neil Gaiman.

*walks away*

[Fake Pat]

OH MY GOD.

Look I know I have somewhat of a rep here as an unabashed Morrison koolaid chugger (and an absolute Quitely whore), but in all honesty...

All Star Superman #10 is one of the most beautiful and mind-blowingly brilliant issues of anything I have ever read.

#8 and #9 were good, but left me a little cold in comparison to the other issues. This issue however, not only is as good as all the issues before it, but is probably even more perfect.

I need to read it a couple more times, and reread some of the older ones to pick up on everything, but I can seriously say this issue was flat-out perfection.

10+/10. (and I mean that)

[Dark Sasha]

Synopsis, Spoilers, Scans please?

Synopsis, Spoilers, Scans please?

Honestly, it would take me hours to explain it, and it still wouldn't do it justice.

And I don't have a scanner.

[Fake Pat]

You guys that are waiting for the A*S collections have willpower I can't even fathom.

I don't care that I have the issues. I'm still getting the Absolute.

You forgot me twice, and you stlill remembered 'Clops. What am I supposed to think?

[Dark Sasha]

I don't care that I have the issues. I'm still getting the Absolute.

I actually started reading it in singles with #6, because my shop was having a sale on back issues and I thought I'd give it a try. Then I fucking loved it and went and got the hardcover and for some reason I also got the Bizarro issues in singles.

[Deej]

Honestly, it would take me hours to explain it, and it still wouldn't do it justice.

And I don't have a scanner.

Besides...your answer should include the phrase "Go out and buy the book yourself!".

[Gavin]

:-x waiting for that hardcover.

Me too. And I'll probably get the Absolute when it comes out.

[Gavin]

I can't wait for those ASS specials too.

How many specials will there be?

[Fake Pat]

How many specials will there be?

They haven't said yet.

And to be honest, I'm not totally convinced we'll ever actually get them.

[Dark Sasha]

Me too. And I'll probably get the Absolute when it comes out.

I would like an Absolute of it but I really want to limit my Absolutes because it can be too much of a good and heavy thing.

All I need is the Watchmen that I have on my shelf and The Sandman ones, and maybe the New Frontier one.

Absolute New Frontier is the most beautiful comic ever produced, period.


I like those chronicles trades

Me too, I love those stories. I bought Superman 2 today.

[Joe Kalicki]

So, Countdown 5 - Still no dialogue. Still lame.

Green Lantern 29 - What is the point of this? A total waste of time and money, and I don't think I've ever said that about Johns before.

Legion of Super-Heroes 40 - Awesome.

All-Star Superman 10 - Awesome.

I also bought Superman 674. I thought it was great. Cool to see Mon-El. I wish Guedes was on Supergirl, but as long as he stays in the Superman family it's cool.

[Fake Pat]

Green Lantern 29 - What is the point of this? A total waste of time and money, and I don't think I've ever said that about Johns before.

I've thought that about pretty much every story I've ever read by Johns.

As for A*S, you couldn't be righter.

Why do you not type ASS?

[Fake Pat]

Regarding A*S #10,

"Behold, I teach you the Superman..."
and especially
"...this is going to change everything."

both literally gave me the chills.


No book since We3 has hit me on such a gut emotional level.

[Fake Pat]

Why do you not type ASS?

Because All-Star Superman is the absolute opposite of "ass".

(also to avoid all the crappy jokes it leads to ;))

[The Doctor]

All Star Superman is this?

[Joe Kalicki]

I've thought that about pretty much every story I've ever read by Johns.

As for A*S, you couldn't be righter.

Johns writes great action epics. I don't know why he's retelling Hal's origin. It seems pointless. Although I guess it's tying into the next big Lantern event or whatever. Still strange.

[jason hissong]

Because All-Star Superman is the absolute opposite of "ass".

(also to avoid all the crappy jokes it leads to ;))

Can I get this issue, not having read 7 8 and 9?

[Joe Kalicki]

Can I get this issue, not having read 7 8 and 9?

Yeah, you probably won't know all the characters though.

[Fake Pat]

Can I get this issue, not having read 7 8 and 9?

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it.

If you've made it this far waiting for the collection, I'd say stick with that. All 12 issues are going to work together wonderfully when it's done.

[Dark Sasha]

GL was awesome. I really really really liked it.

But he rode the mighty Moon Worm

[Fake Pat]

:crazy:

I'm sorry, but pretty much every Johns story feels paint-by-numbers to me. The stories are fine for what they are, but I've never once felt like he had anything other to say besides "Look at this guy get punched!".

Just doesn't do it for me.

[John Drake]

Because All-Star Superman is the absolute opposite of "ass".

(also to avoid all the crappy jokes it leads to ;))

It's okay to love ASS. I'd take a good ASS over inferior products. ASS was extra-sized this week! My ASS was ripped in the middle, did this happen to anyone else? What will I do when there's no more ASS? I look forward to grabbing ASS at the comic shop. I would pay $60 for Absolute ASS. My dog was playing with my ASS and tore it to shreds. etc etc..

[John Drake]

GL was awesome. I really really really liked it.

Cool. You planning on getting the trades?
