Sleazy G - The LoSH didn't get Bart Allen... by Squashua	Jun 27th, 2007 02:59:35 PM

ahem by BizarroJerry	Jun 27th, 2007 03:28:18 PM
Hey, @$$holes, and everyone else. G.I. Joe: America's Elite #25 arrives next week. It's part one of the second comic book storyline this summer called "World War III". This issue will have a wraparound cover of every member of the team ever. The story will actually start showing us Cobra is starting trouble all around the world at once. Serious shit is going down. Even if you just used to be a fan back in the say, the cover alone is worth it. I think it's got a foldout poster of the cover inside, too.
Superhero: Zombie Powder is very enjoyable.... by RealDoubleJ	Jun 27th, 2007 03:29:31 PM
But I think people should be aware though that it is an unfinished work. They have released all the Zombiepowder stories in 4 volumes (inc. some very cool extra stories & info) but Kubo himself admits he doesn't know when he'll be able to return to it, what with Bleach rivalling Naruto for #1 current manga/anime, and that he has a project closer to his heart he's more keen to work on (the origin story of which is published in volume 3 of ZombiePowder as an extra). If you enjoyed it, I reccomend trying Bleach, my preferred cup of macho-Jappo-action...o, otherwise try DEATH NOTE (phenomenally entertaining thriller), KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE (intriguing take on the afterlife) & LOVELESS (WARNING! Heterosexuals check your masculinity at the door before cracking open) if you already haven't.

Robin's Reaction... by Pogue__Mahone	Jun 27th, 2007 04:11:24 PM
Almost two years ago I got a phone call at work from my best friend's sister. She told me that he - almost a brother - had passed away suddenly in an accident. Numbed, I dropped the phone on the floor and kind of sank to the floor against the wall. Although never a huge Bart Allen fan, Robin's reaction resonated with me as someone who's experienced that EXACT loss. I teared up and thought of Kevin. In a merely average comic, thanks for making something emotionally real. There's far too littl of that in the industry today. Kudos on those last few pages.
Nova: The Ultimate Superhero! by glodene	Jun 27th, 2007 04:13:13 PM
Dang! I remember back in 76 when Marv Wolfman and John Buscema sprung the 1st issue out. That was damn good comic back in the day before they handed the art reign over to the worst artist of all time Carmine Infantino. JEEZ LUWEEZ, he couldn't draw to save his life.
Carmine Infantino rocked! by Kamala	Jun 27th, 2007 04:18:28 PM
Not! Your right, he sucked. They almost gave the title to a young John Bryne. Nova might have really taken off then.
RE: JLA 10, Barry Allen by Marvel1967	Jun 27th, 2007 04:31:24 PM
It's a guess, but couldn't that have been Barry Allen, not Bart Allen, brought back by the LOS? Bart Allen was an 8 time retread and needed to go.
Another reason Fallen Son Spider-Man Sucked by Marvel1967	Jun 27th, 2007 04:33:23 PM
The flashback shows Cap knocking out the Hulk with a punch? Maybe this is from an actual comic I missed, but repeating the idiocy should be cause for a kick in the balls. Creating this ridiculous flashback should be cause for 2 kicks in the balls.

actually, robin has had.. by sonnyhooper	Jun 27th, 2007 05:04:18 PM
...FOUR significant people in his life that have died: bart, superboy, his dad and HIS MOM! hate to be a nit picky fanboy about it, but it just bothers me when the ladies get the short end of the stick. it's kind of like saying that bruce wayne only lost his father, martha wayne was there too, but almost nobody (writters or fans) seem to pay any attention to the fact that bruce lost her as well. never mind the fact that the loss of his mother is what defined tim drake having a tragic loss in his life to begin with, it was a defining moment in his journey to becoming robin in some ways.
what's with the Zombie explosion? by tonyd1411	Jun 27th, 2007 05:07:43 PM
Can anyone explain the sudden overwhelming obsession with Zombie comics appearing EVERYWHERE?! I read the marvel zombies comics and was mildly entertained. I like Walking Dead although it is really depressing and I prefer to read for entertainment. I also really like the new Xombie comics from Devil's Due based on the web cartoons (well worth a look). However, the market is just too saturated with them right now. I think that zombies' power comes in their number and the sense of isolation and claustrophobia that they create, but this isn't exploited nearly enough in these new books. Am I alone with this thought?
I heard those Dial R guys are a bunch of... by GrantChastain	Jun 27th, 2007 05:19:48 PM
...nice gentlemen. And believe me, knowing them, that's the scariest, most offensive thing to say about them. They come off all rough, but they're really kitten-petters and old-lady-across-the-street-hel pers. Kudos on the books, guys! Hopefully you won't be without a pubber on Scar Tissue for much longer. That's some quality stuff right there.
Sinestro Corps by Tito Trinidad	Jun 27th, 2007 05:33:45 PM
Have to second the love for this book. It actually made me smile as I read it. ***SPOILER** the splash page with the Cyborg, Superboy Prime, Parallax and Sinestro actually made me feel fan boyish
Batmans parents by Tito Trinidad	Jun 27th, 2007 05:35:29 PM
Have to disagree with the person who said that the focus is mostly on Batmans dad. I have read plenty of books that talk about both his parents and at least one that demonstrated that Bruce was tempramentally most like his mom.
Flashes and Skrulls and Tales from the Southland... by The Heathen	Jun 27th, 2007 05:54:42 PM
I liked the Flash stories in the Lightning Saga and Flash: FMA #13. Bart went out wrong mainly because Bilson and Demeo sucked so horribly bad. So bad that DC had to kill Bart? I don't think so, but who knows? Flashes usually stay dead long, but that isn't really true with Wally coming back so soon is it? And yeah, it was Barry Allen in the LoS lightning rod thing. I don't follow anything to do with Legion of Superheroes, so I don't know what earth or where or who all of them are really. Oh well. I have a feeling that the Skrulls are going to be the same thing for Marvel as it was for Dc when Superboy Prime punched that wall that rewrote time. Thing is, even if the Skrulls are doing everything it's still really, really 'loose' to say the least of how everything happened and why it happened you know? That said, it's still kind of interesting what's going on at Marvel despite the utter suckage of HoM and The CW. World War Hulk #1 was really fun. Yay! I read the first Southland Tales book, have the second one, but I didn't get the third and I didn't even know if it was out yet. I'm interested though. Wish that movie would come out someday. That'd be nice too.
Ender Smites Foes... by Ambush Bug	Jun 27th, 2007 06:14:32 PM

Sleazy, nobody like the Legion of Superheroes... by thecomedian	Jun 27th, 2007 06:43:02 PM
I have yet to ever meet a LOS fan. Nothing is more boring than a bunch of bland squeeky clean cardboard cut outs running flying around a utopian future. The only legionaire I ever liked was Dawnstar (for obvious reasons) and eventhough they're bringing her back I still could give two shits enough to ever pick up an LOS book.
Actually Robin has FIVE by Lukecash	Jun 27th, 2007 06:52:17 PM
Close people die on him. Superboy, his mom, dad, Bart and his girlfriend Stephane AKA: SPOILER. Of course this is covered in Robin quite well Between Titians and his own book, Tims emotions are covered really well, they just don't want his book drowned in emotions
In the hands of a good writer... by Ambush Bug	Jun 27th, 2007 07:06:51 PM
Robin is ripe with material. Not only is his job to help Batman see the more lighter side of the good fight, but with all of this death around him, Tim's main conflict should be not to take the darker path that Batman has taken. Adam Beechan has been trying to touch on this in the title, but he ain't hacking it. Tim needs a new direction. His comic has been awful for over 60 issues and the only reason it is still being published is because the Bat-guys buy it because of its ties to Batman. I don't want Tim dead. But there needs to be some kind of shake up with the title be it a new writer, artist, or whatever, but this can't go on any longer.

re: batmans parents by sonnyhooper	Jun 27th, 2007 08:10:50 PM
if you happen to remember the story where it showed that bruce was more like his mom, please let me know, because i would love to read it. while i agree that most of the time the focus is on BOTH of bruces parents, i find that sometimes the focus is tipped towards thomas and not martha. just little things that batman says, like "...i remeber my father" doing this or that or when talking about the manor "..even now i think of it as my fathers house". to me it seems he is always going on about his father being a doctor and helping people and any flashback to bruces childhood is usually directed towards his dad. in over 20 years of reading batman comics i only can recall one of the LODK one shot "specials" by loeb and sale that had bruce reflecting and thinking about his mother specifically. to me that seems a bit unbalanced. also regarding robin, i totally forgot all about spoiler. makes it seem that tim should be a seething cauldron of rage that would make jason "whinney" todd look tame in comparison. but the whole "i don't want to be like batman" thing has been around for a while now (i think dick passed that down to him like a hand-me-down winter jacket) and it seems to me that the more tim keeps telling himself that he will NEVER be like batman, the more likely he will probally end up just like bruce. because DC seems fully intent on heaping tons of tragedy on the poor kids shoulders.

Killing Bart Allen? by superninja	Jun 27th, 2007 10:47:12 PM
Right into the toilet with these guys.
superninja.. by Thalya	Jun 27th, 2007 11:23:42 PM
I agree it's a low and icky thing DC did, but darn that all to heck if you've seen the All Flash #1 preview on Newsarama. If you can get past the Byrne-stealing discussion, I've never seen such consensus in my life: everyone thinks Karl Kerschl should be the main artist on the return to Wally's series instead of Daniel Acuna and I profoundly agree. If there was a person born to draw the Flash (he nails the tone in his art), it would be Karl. Now I have to go back and read Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #3 to get a fix again.
Why does Michael Turner continue to get work? by Pops Freshemeyer	Jun 27th, 2007 11:51:40 PM
Somebody must feel bad because of that cancer thing and keeps hiring him so he can pay his bills. Has he ever seen a real woman in his life? The guy seems nice and all, but his work is horrible. Horrible horrible even.
here's a suggestion by Bagheera	Jun 28th, 2007 12:30:10 AM
The "Big Eyes for the Cape Guy" section I think is good, it promotes non-prejudice of foreign comics that deserve equal attention from all comic readers, so why doesn't the Anime AICN column have a "Normal-sized Eyes for the DBZ Guy" or something to that effect.

Constantine's not actually gay... by rev_skarekroe	Jun 28th, 2007 06:54:53 AM
He's just not fussy. He's a switch-hitter. He straddles the fence. He's got an open mind. He crosses the aisle. He's AC/DC. He's a two beer queer. You get what I'm saying?
maybe this is a dumb thing to say... by BizarroJerry	Jun 28th, 2007 07:51:31 AM
but if a dude likes to do it with another dude, he's gay. Whether or not he likes women, too, is irrelevant. I have no problem with either, but to me, exclusivity has nothing to do with it.
Yes, BizarroJerry, that was a dumb thing to say. by rev_skarekroe	Jun 28th, 2007 08:01:53 AM

New Joe Fridays! Quesada comments on H4H #13! by stones_throw	Jun 28th, 2007 09:20:09 AM
...NRAMA (chuckles): Now Joe, some silly people have got a little too excited about a (groans) silly little comic book cover. Joe, why are these people silly? JQ (winks suggestively): You know me Matt, I'm a pretty straight-up sort of guy! I mean, I hadn't even heard the word "pornography" before today and I'm still not entirely sure what it means! So when I saw that cover for the first time (sees cover for first time) I...ah...I mean there's, ah plenty of...uh...I mean, it's not like there's no MEN on the cover! Just look at Shang-Chi's, ah, arm. I mean, uh, look over there! (goes off on lengthy, unrelated ramble)...so in conclusion there's absolutely nothing wrong with the cover and anyone who says otherwise is a silly ninny who's also wrong. I fully expect our fanbase of adolescent boys and immature men to lap this up, and frankly I couldn't give a fuck about the chicks! Besides, it's not like you can blame us. The Brood have tentacles for lady-groping and Black Cat has slimy boobies. Our hands were tied. NRAMA (grabs ankles): Joe, it wouldn't be very journalistically integral of me to say this, but you are, absolutely, 100 per cent right. And may I say rather attractive too? Now on to some reader mail. Here's one from Marvel_Zombie98. "Joe, why are you so awesome?" JQ: Well, Marvel_Zombie, I think the answer has something to do with me being awesome. Just the other day I was polishing my Man of the Year award and thinking how DC...
Thayla by superninja	Jun 28th, 2007 10:30:57 AM
I don't read comics anymore, but Flash is a legacy character and when you start killing off Flashes, it just kind of stinks. I like having all of the different Flashes around. Of course, I wouldn't want this for every superhero (Superman and Batman come to mind) but it's kind of a nifty little thing with the Flashes and killing of Bart seems cheap.
Somehow I don't think... by Thalya	Jun 28th, 2007 10:57:51 AM
Bart's story is anywhere near done. -Dead is never dead, potentially not even for Barry Allen anymore. -DC's got another crisis coming. -He went out in too weak a fashion, even for most heroes. DC loves stirring up outrage like this only to pull a "fooled ya!" months down the line, so I'm definitely waiting and seeing.. The character damage done to the Rogues, however? Grrr...
Damn.. Power Girl's Tits are Big! by Lolthien	Jun 28th, 2007 11:22:20 AM

Hey! I am a lifelong LOSH fan! by Psynapse	Jun 28th, 2007 12:34:34 PM
Anybody else remember those over-sized digests DC and Marvel were so big on on the late 70's? (Hell, that's where Spider-Man and Superman first met each other) There was a Legion one with this BADASS 2-page splash of the entire team in flight around the Cockrum redesign of the headquarters. That said, the 'New Earth reboot' version has been THE. LAMEST. version yet and I may drop it from my pull list. This is major when you consider that I've had legion on my pull list since I opened this last subscription with my LCS back in 1991. 16 FREAKING YEARS of unwavering loyalty about to get flushed.
Actually, Psy, this is the first time I've liked LSH by Ambush Bug	Jun 28th, 2007 12:49:53 PM
MAybe it's because I got in on the ground floor of this current version. I never liked any of the other versions because I had no idea what the hell was going on. I loved the costumes and the recent JLA/JSA crossover proved that some of Cockrum's designs still in fact to kick ass and I think I picked up a few issues of the old early 80's series because of that simple fact: cool costumes cool lookin' heroes. But this recent LSH seres has me caring about heroees I never knew existed. I also dug L.E.G.I.O.N. with Vril Dox, Lobo, and Captain Marvel bakc in teh day as well.

Karl Kerschl on Flash by The Heathen	Jun 28th, 2007 04:29:43 PM
T, I wouldn't read Flash: FMA #3 again, but definietely look at the purty pictures. Kerschl does great work, but he never stays on anything longer than one or sometimes a short string of issues. His longest run I can remmeber in recent years was on Adventures of Superman, since then he's only done a fill in issue here and there. I think he's awesome, but I like Acuna's work too and he seems to put it out in a timely fashion as well. His work on Green Lantern has been nice. I think he'll be fine on Flash.

Brock's revenge is surely a sleeper hit this summer but man what a fantastically scripted issue with spine-chilling art. Can't wait til the concluding issue next month. The thing I dug the most was how insane Brock has become and how he no longer views MJ and May as "innocents." I do wish on the side that the powers that be will give Brock back the symbiote so that he can be the badass Venom we all love....and not this current hack, Gargan.

...that basically i agree with what sleazy said in his cheap shot, that bart is going to end up with the legion. but i disagree with him that it's a bad thing. because like i said i think barts origin was that he was born in the 30th century and travelled back to our time. so basically, (even though it's the 31st century now) bart is pretty much "going home", so to speak.

The Zombie stuff is out because by kirttawesomio	Jun 29th, 2007 01:12:26 PM
"30 Days of Night" and "The Walking Dead" were successful. Zombies became a legitimate money making genre and so the whole industry had there take. Their making a "30 Days of Night" movie right now. The most interesting zombie book to me sounds like "Robots vs Zombies" by the dude on the scene Ashley Wood.
No. Bug. Not the current LSH. by Homer Sexual	Jun 29th, 2007 07:22:02 PM
It's not that Waid can't write anything. He's done some great work...didn't he do Kingdom Come?...but he is too staid to do LSH. I have read the Legion as long as Psynapse, and sometimes it's been great (Darkness saga, Karate Kid's death storyline, good vs. Evil Ranzz family), sometimes it's been pretty good (Abnett/Lanning/Coipel) but sometimes it's just bad. Lots of times, actually, including the latest relaunch. My brother used to defend LSH as "candy," junk food for the brain. Compliment. The latest relaunch was so boring, I quit buying, and every time I check in, it's still boring: Like putting in Supergirl. Some people may like it, but that is just dorky to me. So I bet it is Barry Allen, because if Bart Allen went back to the future, I would be interested. Barry Allen, I would be rolling my eyes so hard my sockets hurt. The Lightning Saga was promising but ended up being weak. Bringing back Impulse, in whatever form, would redeem that one and the allegedly lame death of Bart. (Don't want to read it after what I've read). Geez, Barry Allen and Hal Jordan back....despite having crossed the 40 line myself, I find that just wretchedly lame. I don't dig on that 1950's-era sensibility thing.
I might as well be the first one to say it, but... by Thalya	Jun 30th, 2007 12:50:47 PM
It's starting to feel like Summer 2005 all over again. Sinestro Corps, much?
Having read the first eight issues of LoSH... by loodabagel	Jul 1st, 2007 12:27:54 AM
Those I enjoyed. Maybe you're all too old to enjoy it and Waid and Kitson were actually marking it to a teen market, which, in fact, would be really lame.
And another thing... by Thalya	Jul 1st, 2007 01:40:08 PM
BLUE BEETLE!!! Rivals Sinestro Corps as best book this week! Countdown crossover my foot! Now that's how you do a stand-alone! Will make you go "Now that's a fun comic!". Spread the word!
Gee, I'd love to... by loodabagel	Jul 2nd, 2007 12:36:05 AM
but I just don't have the flow. Maybe I'll read it in the store.
Why the 'new' LOSH SUCKS (IMHO) by Psynapse	Jul 2nd, 2007 09:38:02 AM
1. 30 issues, 1 (sorta) dead Legionnaire, 2 galaxy-wide wars, 1 time-lost 'Super' returned to membership and it's been ONE. LONG. YAAAAAWN. (Seriously, it's been boring as all fucking get out) 2. Sorry but not only returning full bore to the old codenames (Worse yet: "Atom Girl" & "Micro Lad"-What the syphilitic fuck, Mark, where you drinking THAT heavily when working on this?!?) was fucking retarded, Waid. 3. The "Youth versus the Aged" plot backdrop is just a bad idea for a plot frame in this circumstance. The Legion is sci-fi fantasy at it's finest. While I can appreciate using the story to examine 'real world' issues that particular one hobbles the story rather than props it up. 4. Barry Kitson is a very accesible artist with some of the cleanest line work on the stands. HOWZEVAH, his fashion design is just plain boring. His redesign of the Legion outfits is nothing more than a mishmash rehash of several previous designs and ultimately ends ups being blander than pablum. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.....
BLUE BEETLE!!! by Thalya	Jul 2nd, 2007 10:18:26 AM
I'm tellin' ya. The big reveal with regard to eponymous characterization? Well, you need to read it to believe it. And how the bad guy gets beaten? Heh.
Ya know what I liked? by loodabagel	Jul 3rd, 2007 01:05:47 PM
