Sorry I just had to do it.
Shame on DC by RenoNevada2000	Oct 27th, 2008 07:42:48 AM
They did absolutely nothing to support MANHUNTER. Where were the house ads, especially in a book like BIRDS OF PREY where Manhunter had appeared? DC screwed this book.
A Sarah Palin comic?! by kwisatzhaderach	Oct 27th, 2008 08:04:17 AM
I've seen it all now...
If you think a Sarah Palin comic is bad... by RenoNevada2000	Oct 27th, 2008 08:09:07 AM
You should read Marvel's bio-comic of Pope John Paul II. Of course, since it is Marvel, they have the Pope teamup with Spider-Man to defeat Galactus.
Didn't they already release the Palin Victory comic? by blindambition238	Oct 27th, 2008 08:21:52 AM
I think it's called DC's Final Crisis... ...yea, bite me I'm sleepy... (cue sympathy applause)

J.G. Jones by Joenathan	Oct 27th, 2008 08:51:09 AM
What was the deal?
The deal is... by Steve Rogers	Oct 27th, 2008 09:18:57 AM
DC is pathologically incapable of hiring an artist to pencil their mega-events who will be able to keep to the schedule... and the schedule waits for no man! (unlike, say, Civil War. Lateness was a bitch but the story still has cohesion when you read it back now). Dan Didio should take the blame for this.
I'd say Jones shares the blame... by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 09:36:13 AM
A fucking YEAR headstart? He shouldn't have accepted the gig in the first place.
Yeah, I'm really sick of these namby artists who can't keep a sc by Ambush Bug	Oct 27th, 2008 09:49:27 AM
And it's not like Jones was turning in his best work in years for FINAL CRISIS either. It was mediocre Jones' stuff at best. I actually applaud Didio for having the balls to say "If you can't finish it, we'll get someone else who will." I like Mahnke, so I'm ok with the relacement. Maybe this huge cut in pay for Jones will wake him up and get him to set down the X-Box long enough to finish a book he had a year to complete. Sure, maybe he had some kind of personal problems. And if that's the case, then we all missed out. But if he wants to make the professional money, he should show up and do the work. I've talked to quite a few writers who, off the record, complain about the extended wait for the colorist or the inker or the penciler while their finished written work is just gathering dust and being forgotten on the shelves. There are plenty of professional artists out there. Good for Didio for nabbing one of them to take over for Miss Priss.
Fuck Jones, but still... Doug Mahnke? by Laserhead	Oct 27th, 2008 09:55:14 AM
Nothing against Mahnke, but he's not exactly an event artist. I keep wishing JH Williams III had gotten the gig, but maybe we'd have the same problem. I don't think Doug Mahnke's art syncs up very well with the other artists on board, though. The odd thing is that there's an artist whose style is very similar to Jones's and who seems to keep his deadlines: Chris Weston. He could have done this. Anyway, it could have been something special, and now it's an epic movie with three different cinematographers and three sets of actors playing all the roles. This is why Marvel laughs at DC, and I'm waiting on the tpb.
What about FC issues 5 and 6 ? by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 10:15:23 AM
Who is providing the art for "Final Crisis" issues 5 and 6?
MisterE by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 10:30:41 AM
i think i read that mahnke is on for the rest of the series. they should of had jones just do the covers - which i thought were excellent.
Nope.... by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 10:37:09 AM
5 & 6 will be Jones and Pacheco (as 4 was). 7 will be Mahnke.

Should we rename it, "Final Mid-Life Crisis"? by Leafar the Lost	Oct 27th, 2008 11:21:28 AM
I have purchased all of the final crisis issues, and I have no idea what is going on. Marvel's "Secret War" is much better at telling a cohesive story. I know what is going on when I read it; I have no clue with Final Crisis. This time, Marvel defeats D.C.
The heads of DC and Marvel will look up and shout save us. by Err	Oct 27th, 2008 11:36:34 AM
And Alan Moore will whisper no.
Psynapse and steverodgers... by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 11:38:03 AM
Thanks for the info, Psynapse, and for the attempt, steverodgers (by the way, here is your friendly grammar lesson of the day: It's "should have" and not "should of").
MisterE by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 12:06:07 PM
MisterE, who has failed more in your opinion, Jones and DC editorial, or me and my mistake filled talkback post?
Fair play to MisterE by Steve Rogers	Oct 27th, 2008 12:22:31 PM
That particular grammatical error is a big pet peeve of mine.
Jones and DC BY FAR.... by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 12:25:15 PM
Linguistics has shown that language mutates constantly and fastest in urbanized environments. Therefore the insertion of "Should of" in place of "Should've" is actually an expectable phenomenon regardless of grammatical rules. (But grammar nerds like MisterE and myself might call you out on it nonetheless) (*_^)
Standard Procedure by toxicbuddha	Oct 27th, 2008 12:25:57 PM
These days is for these so called big artists to basically do an issue when ever they feel like it. Bad enough that most of these events are ill conceived bags of half assed suck, but having to wait 3 to 6 moths for the next issue is just inexcusable. Thank god for torrents. I just ignore the Major event til it's over,download it and get the disappointment out of the way in one shot. Honestly, name he last GOOD Big Event in either universe.
Big Events: Now Vs Then by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 01:03:47 PM
Then: Big Event! Get 'em while they're hot! Now: ANOTHER 'Big Event'. Hmm. Better wait for the trade to see if it's even worth it. Way to go Marvel & DC, you've officially burnt us out.
Psynapse... by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 01:17:32 PM
Psynapse: While the mutation of language may be an "expectable phenomenon in urbanized environments", I would argue that it is not an "acceptable phenomenon". I would also argue that "expectable" isn't a word, if I was an argumentative Spelling Nazi. :)
re: J.H Williams III by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 01:26:40 PM
Definitely agree with Laserhead. J.H. Williams has incredible, if not the best, page layouts, in addition to being well-suited for creepy-weird Morrison stories. Just check out the art on his League of Batmen story with Morrison recently. It takes the story to another level entirely. Though the question as to whether or not Williams could have managed this schedule any better than Jones is there still.
Urbanized Environment by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 01:31:50 PM
The worst part is i don't even live in a urbanized environment anymore. I should have stayed in NYC, if just to justify my wildly poor grammar.
Re: Spider-Girl by Matthew Martinez	Oct 27th, 2008 01:33:28 PM
I'm kind of bummed to hear about the cancellation of Spider-Girl, even though I don't read it anymore. I was a faithful reader for a few years, but it really went downhill when Pat Oliffe left. If he'd been replaced by someone I like, I might still be collecting it monthly. Instead, they got Ron Frenz. I never liked Frenz's art very much, but I must admit that his '80s/'90s output wasn't terrible. As of now, it's pretty god-awful. (Why couldn't Marvel have picked an older and underused artist whose stuff is still good? Someone like Norm Breyfogle or... I'm drawing a blank.)
Expectable by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 01:50:22 PM
–verb (used with object) 1. to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of: I expect to read it. I expect him later. She expects that they will come. 2. to look for with reason or justification: We expect obedience. 3. Informal. to suppose or surmise; guess: I expect that you are tired from the trip. 4. to anticipate the birth of (one's child): Paul and Sylvia expect their second very soon. —Idiom 5. be expecting, to be pregnant: The cat is expecting again. It's not wise to attempt to school me in regards to language, because like the Nazis, you'll lose. (*_^)
Spider-Girl's cancellation by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 01:52:09 PM
A What If...? tale spun off into a series that lasted 130 issues, and gave way to the short-lived 'MC2'line of comics... nothing to be too bummed about. It's remarkable it lasted even that long. You can bet Marvel will still publish Mayday stories every now and then after this title comes to a halt.
Psynapse by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 01:57:24 PM
I think stevrodgers just meant to say you sounded like a d-bag.
or by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 01:58:12 PM
MisterE. Whoever. Maybe they both meant to say that.
steverodgers... by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 02:01:37 PM
Since Jones accepted a contracted assignment to produce the art for "Final Crisis" and he was unable to produce the art within the contracted time frame, I would say that his is the greatest failure in regards to the topic of discussion. DC would not have removed Jones from the book if factors unrelated to his contribution to the project were responsible for the failure. DC's ultimate responsibility is to produce a product by a scheduled date, and they are unable to produce said product if its components have not been delivered by those contracted to deliver the components. You have failed no one except, perhaps, your English and Grammar instructors. :)
Nope by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 02:05:21 PM
I was trying to say my grammar is a total mess and hopefully it will be tolerated. Psynapse is cool with me.
Psynapse... by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 02:07:32 PM
You provided the definition and usage examples of "expect", not "expectable". None of the examples that you provided use the "word" "expectable". I suppose you could argue that it is an example of the "mutation of language in urbanized environments". :)
MisterE by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 02:14:53 PM
I think you are right. My teachers were weeping while i was in their classroom, and they are still weeping now, which is really of no consequence. DC on the other hand has totally blown it, and is a massive disappointment to their readers. A quick check on comic sales puts Marvel's market share at over 50 percent and DC barely holding on to over 30 percent - yet Dido still has a job. How long does that last?
My Mistake (again) by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 02:17:59 PM
DC at under 30 percent in September: http://tinyurl.com/5qvvnp
Gomezvsrufio... by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 02:18:42 PM
Both steverodgers and MisterE are fairly frequent Tb'ers and would tell me clearly and concisely if they thought I were being a douchebag, not take feeble and puerile potshots while hiding behind someone else's words. Because, unlike you, they're not douchebags. FYI: Only trolls come out swinging on people who haven't said (in this instance typed) a word towards them. Yeah, in case it still hasn't sunk into your impuissant brain, I AM saying you're a douchebag. There, is that schoolyard enough for you?
Actually No... by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 02:20:38 PM
WWW.Dictionary.com Go on, type it in and see what you get. (^_*)
Oops! My bad! by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 02:25:57 PM
I stand corrected, expectable is the adjective form of expect. Even marketing people who work with copy can read too fast and get it skewed.
toxicbuddha by RenoNevada2000	Oct 27th, 2008 02:30:23 PM
I would say that GREEN LANTERN-SINESTRO CORPS WAR was a good event, but it wasn't. It was FREAKIN' GREAT! Go read it.
Sinestro Corps. War by Psynapse	Oct 27th, 2008 02:38:11 PM
Seconded.
Green Lantern by Joenathan	Oct 27th, 2008 02:40:44 PM
It was comic book good, not great. To me, it felt like little pieces in between the action was missing. Marvel rules, DC drools!
wow by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 02:40:54 PM
wow man you win you are awesome
oh wow by gomezvsrufio	Oct 27th, 2008 02:45:24 PM
and to clarify, I said you sounded like a d-bag. I didn't say you WERE one. which means that I read what you wrote, and you sounded like a d-bag. and now, you sound like an even bigger douchebag.
Joen by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 02:48:17 PM
Your sentiment is reflected in comics sales that is for sure. Currently DC is drooling... big time.
Psynapse... by MisterE	Oct 27th, 2008 02:59:27 PM
I use dictionary.com, too. I looked up "expectable" and got the definition for "expected". Alas, I didn't read the entire entry and didn't see that "expectable" is, indeed, a word. So, I admit defeat. You win!
Saddest thing about DC sales by Laserhead	Oct 27th, 2008 03:02:51 PM
All-Star Batman and Robin is far and away their biggest seller. Christ.
DC Sales by steverodgers	Oct 27th, 2008 03:20:32 PM
Things look bad, but lets give credit where credit is due - DC did move over 4,000 copies of Scooby Doo in September! Just another feather in Dido's cap.
I kid by Joenathan	Oct 27th, 2008 03:29:54 PM
I do like DC, its just they don't generally tell stories that interest me. Its like how I bitch about the Avengers having BBQs in full costume, well, to me, DC is ALWAYS like that. DC heroes just don't seem to have "real" civilian secret identities, let alone Civilian clothes, there's Green Arrow, just walking down the street, dressed like a Broadway Robin Hood. DC secret identities always seem more like place holders, more like the hero is hiding behind their civilian ID, rather than having the civilian ID be the driving force of the story. Is Batman the mask or is Bruce Wayne? Does Clark Kent really exist or is he just Superman in glasses? Peter Parker is a real person. Luke Cage is a real person. Wally West is just who the Flash is on wash day.
Artists who can't keep a deadline... by Kid Z	Oct 27th, 2008 03:38:14 PM

Gomezvsrufio: My apologies then. It's Monday, I'm on a critical deadline (and stuck waiting for data to put into copy to make said deadline), and I have a very sandy vagina today. (and BTW, I'm a Class-A asshole, mere douchebaggery is too weak for grand bastards such as I) MisterE: Linguistics and Etymology ( along with about a half a dozen other sciences) are lifelong passions of mine.

If FINAL CRISIS was Morrison's tribute to Kirby... by Ambush Bug	Oct 27th, 2008 04:22:18 PM
then he chould have nabbed someone who draws like him. How about Jorge Lucas who owes pretty much everything he does to Kirby? Just sayin' there's a ton of talent out there that could get the job done on time. These artists who dick around and slow down the process should be taught a lesson in professionalism.
Slow artists by Joenathan	Oct 27th, 2008 04:31:25 PM
Wildstorm started this trend years ago. I've never understood how its come to be acceptable in the comic book world. Your job is to draw comics. Sit down and draw them. People would kill for that fucking job, what the fuck? At what other job could you just turn to your boss and go: "I didn't get my assignment done." Boss: "Well... that kind of screws up everything, but thats alright I guess... when can I expect it?" You: "Next year? ...maybe? Don't pressure me... jerk..." Boss: "Sorry, sorry, take your time... whew, man, are we lucky to have that guy working for us..."

Black Panthress by oisin5199	Oct 27th, 2008 04:56:27 PM
You know how to revamp Black Panther? Change his gender? Well, sure. Or you could get a much better writer. I love how in the article, Hudlin says his run has been 'controversial' - which is code for, 'most people thought I sucked.' The revamp started out really well, but as soon as BP married Storm, it was all downhill. Not that the marriage itself was a bad idea. But that whole 'mystical frogs' storyline with the FF was some of the worst crap I've ever read in a Marvel comic. And that's saying a lot. The Killraven stuff was a bit better, but really BP is running on fumes. This whole gender switch is a desperate ploy.

The only possible way Sarah Palin has any relevance when that hi by Chewtoy	Oct 27th, 2008 06:14:18 PM
The only possible way Sarah Palin has any relevance when that hits is if McCain actually pulls this out and then dies before February. Otherwise, at best she's Vice President, and nobody cares about her because there's no way McCain keeps her as close as Bush keeps Chaney. Or they lose, and she's back in Alaska where nobody gives a damn what she says or spends on clothes, and maybe the Republicans dig her up in 4 years. If that comic isn't coming out next week, there's zero point to it coming out at all.
best recent comics event? by ian216a	Oct 27th, 2008 06:22:22 PM
As already stated - Sinistro Corps War for sure. Probably the best comic crossever ever to be honest. The first and last issues were the most jaw-dropping books I've read for years. That last double page spread in the first issue that revealed Superboy-prime, Hank Henshaw and THE FUCKING ANTI-MONITER!!! was just amazing, only beaten in recent memory by the giant bullet phasing through New York in Astonishing X-men. And Ambush Bug - right there with you, there should have been a more Kirbyesque look to the art in Final Crisis. My vote would have gone to Scott Kolins repeating the style he used for the Darkseid/Orion fight in Countdown. Best thing in that series by far.

Regarding the Black Panth-ress by Thrillho77	Oct 27th, 2008 08:20:24 PM
Marvel AND DC need to quit making so many of these shitty little series for these individual characters that nobody buys. When they do that, they spread their talent and quality QUITE thin. That said, I realize that a lot of people are fans of these minor characters. I, myself, am a big Moon Knight fan. And for the longest time he didn't have a series (and I'm worried his current one will be canceled) - they simply aren't often viable. Instead, they need to make up new team books, so they can satisfy many fan-wanted characters at one time. Maybe that's not the right idea either, but it's not working the way it is now. These individual series just keep getting hopes up and crushing them when they're canceled.
.... by Thrillho77	Oct 27th, 2008 08:21:47 PM
And if the Black Panther wasn't viable enough, do they really think making it a WOMAN will do them MORE business?!?! Really? Female counter-part comics almost always fail.
Just to be contrary by toshiro-solo	Oct 27th, 2008 08:47:31 PM
I would actually prefer that the original artist stay on a book like Final Crisis. Yeah, the delays are kind of annoying, and delays like this should cost Jones work in the future, but I'd rather be able to go back and read all 7 issues once they're done and see the cohesion that can only come from having the same writer and artist(s) on all 7 issues. To me, I have plenty of comics (some good, some bad) to read on a weekly basis. I'm not terminally ill (that I know of), so - if it takes an extra 3 or 4 or 6 months to get to the end, then so be it. I'll read other stuff in the meantime. I have a hard time with the idea that people are JUST SO DYING to see what happens next that a delay like this is the end of the world. Annoying? Yup. Definitely. Annoying enough to mar the eventual finished product? Not for me.

Leafar the Lost - Marvel always wins by most excellent ninja	Oct 28th, 2008 01:03:50 AM
when has DC won? back in the Watchmen days? Maybe Sinestro Corps War but at the end of the day Marvel is taking 50% share of the market and delivering acclaimed comics and even their other comics look amazing, professional yet DC's most important event since the first Crisis has art not worthy of a c grade Marvel hero.
However - Sinestro Corps War = greatest superhero story ever by most excellent ninja	Oct 28th, 2008 01:05:45 AM
crossover, superhero story. Whatever. Watchmen is the king of comics but Sinestro Corps War is the most entertaining ultimate story ever produced in comics. Fact. The best Star Wars story since Empire.

Watchmen is WAY over-rated... by Psynapse	Oct 28th, 2008 08:00:41 AM
It was originally Moore's deconstructionist take on the Charlton stable of characters and nothing more. It was a decent story but nowhere near the Holy Grail of superhero stories that so many make it out to be. Aand the Movie? Oooh it's R-rated superheroes! Big whoop, been there done that.
Psynapse.... sigh... by Joenathan	Oct 28th, 2008 08:50:28 AM
The true legacy of Watchman isn't SOLELY based on its very well done story, but its lasting impact on the comic book medium itself. THAT is the main reason Watchman is, and always will be, remembered. It and Dark Knight completely revolutionized the industry. That book opened whole new worlds up. Comics wouldn't be what they are now, if not for that book. Do you REALLY not know that? Or are you just be contrary merely for the sake of some really strange, nerdy scenester perception that taking this stance would earn you some kind of comic "indie" cred? Oooooh, the comic book "cool" kid... Big whoop, been there, done that.
Watchmen by steverodgers	Oct 28th, 2008 09:04:35 AM
As much as i want to be annoyed at all the regular folks i see toting around the watchmen graphic novel these days i can't - i hope its a gateway drug for all those folks. This summer i saw multiple people reading it on the subway and i have to say it made me wicked happy. I think the praise of that comic cannot be overstated - it's timeless.

The Rumor is this: by Psynapse	Oct 28th, 2008 10:10:50 AM
*DISCLAIMER: This is an unsubstantiated rumor that was posted by someone known as "DCInsider". The original post at blogspot has been deleted likely to legal threatening as it IS potentially libelous.AGAIN, this is a RUMOR and neither myself nor anyone associated with AICN accept ANY responsibility or credit for it's contents. Supposedly the reason that JG Jones has gotten so much DC work over the last few years is because Dan Didio is sleeping with his wife, Jann Jones. From Rich Johnston's LITG column dated 10/20/2008: "Which executive gave an artist a phenomenal amount of work over the last two years so that the executive may woo a colleague and partner of the artist, in a manner rather reminiscent of the biblical tale of David and Uriah?"

It's not the 'fanboy community', it's the 'creator community'. By all means, correspond with Coleen Doran, Valerie D'orazio, Diana Schutz, Gail Simone and any other women that have worked at DC and get them to tell you what kind of bullshit goes on at DC (and Marvel for that matter). BTW, Rich Johnston IS the LITG guy (or is that just a typo?)

What is it with you prickly fucks? Every time someone disagrees with what you perceive as unquestionable truth, you get to be a douchebag about it--anonymously, of course. I mean, read the last line of your post to synapse to see what a prissy, imperious little ass you are: assuming characteristics about someone you don't know, and then mocking them for it. Hey, I think Watchmen is overrated too, regardless of its historical importance. Must make me a moron. However, I am in total agreement with you on slow artists. This seems to be a mystery that will never be explained.

I agree with you on my being right. The rest I didn't read.
Please don't feed the troll by Psynapse	Oct 28th, 2008 02:42:07 PM
That only encourages it to seek yet more attention. After all, when your only concept of humor is to attempt to aggravate and insult people you're pretty one track minded already.
You're right, Psynapse by Joenathan	Oct 28th, 2008 03:54:53 PM
You are so right. I won't feed into his trolling.

Joenathan: "The rest I didn't read" Of course you did, sweetie. Nice try though. And psynapse: good little lap dog, lapping up that belittlement. I'd rather be a "troll" than so ass-backwards I'd defend someone who mocks me. Good hunting. Yum. You clowns are too easy.
