The format for this story arc is terribly flawed. One week ago, Kate was told my Agent Chase to intercept…

GREEN LANTERN #9
May 9, 2012 5:43 pm Does anyone else thinks this needs to move past "the guardians are a bunch of A holes?" stories? I've been torn on this, i dropped it since issue 3, picked up the other parts of this story because of some lingering interest in the Indio Tribe, and the reveals are sort of interesting, but just seem like the same thing, over and over. Beautiful art though.

DC Histories: Justice Society of America
May 3, 2012 3:59 pm I remember getting the 1991 JSA # 5, with a team up between Hawkman & The Flash and I loved it, then I found the whole mini series at a thrift store in Madison, it was a great series.
Plus, in regards to this: http://ifanboy.com/articles/great-moments-in-comics-history-smash-comics-1/
If that owl isn't in some way connected to The Court of Owls, then their threat level is severely lessened. If it is, whores and Batman better beware.

Reflections on Superman’s Sad Decline
April 10, 2012 5:16 pm Right before I read this article, I watched Max Landis' description/recreation of The Death and Return of Superman, and it sort of spoke to some of the same things. How coincidental the world is!
Has anybody mentioned the times in the 50's or 60's when Superman was a jerk to all his friends (superdickery.com has lots of examples.) Does anybody know why they made him cocky and arrogant then?
Like most people here it seems, I was disappointed with Morrison's direction on Action Comics.
"with random, gibberish-ridden word balloons" - those especially frustrate me in Morrison's writing, with all the odd grunts and moments of surprise.

Things To Love About Comics Right Now
March 21, 2012 2:10 pm I love that I'm listening to the ifanbase and picking up new comics that feel NEW, like Prophet and Saga, and are so exciting, and picking up one's I'd really never thought about, (Daredevil, Uncanny x-Force). The community here is something to love unabashedly.
I love that Batman is coming out today.
I love that C2E2 is coming up.
I love that awesome FF gathering.
I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch, here it goes, down into my belly.
I love lamp.
@SupernovaShock, that is beautiful, what materials did you use to make it?

RECAP: ‘The Walking Dead’ – S02E13 – “Beside The Dying Fire”
March 20, 2012 10:24 am @ScorpianMasada, you brought up so many good examples, and I'm so glad someone else noticed the WTF moment of Lori freaking out over Rick killing Shane, just days, weeks (?) after basically telling him "He is dangerous, you might have to kill him, it's your role as leader of the group to keep us safe". Maybe she was freaking out about Carl shooting Zombie Shane. I can understand Rick sort of going a bit crazy or getting fed up, but the writers keep using Lori to push Rick or Shane over the edge. I enjoy the show, and i'm excited and hopeful for the 3rd season, but I just hope the turmoil surrounding the 2nd season caused all these inconsistencies.

Pick of the Week – 03.14.2012 – Saga #1
March 15, 2012 10:21 am wow, good luck Conor. A friend of mine is going through siatic (spelling?) nerve stuff and it sounds horrible so you have my sympathies.
And this was my POTW too, I got a great feeling of world building in it, and it sort of reminded me (in a very good way) of playing Final Fantasy 7 for the first time with my best friend and marvelling at it. I'm excited to read it again. Does anyone know if it's going to stay at 2.99?

GREEN LANTERN #7
March 14, 2012 12:03 pm I'm oddly torn over this: I dropped it after issue 3, and I barely paid attention to War of the GL (mostly because Brightest Day burned me out and burned out a ton of good will towards Johns) but I'm interested in the Indigo Tribe only because I don't think they were ever really explored that deeply.
Did i miss any revelations about them?

What Will You Remember?
March 14, 2012 11:57 am Clarifying moment, I mean how the Kindle has changed how people buy regular books, are digital comics having that same effect? My LCS (Darktower comics in Chicago) is usually pretty packed on Wednesdays.
