May 22, 2012 11:27 am @KevinAB HAH! I clicked through cause I thought it looked like Leifeld too and I was like "WTF??" I think that it might be the thumbnail rather than the actual art. Hard to tell though.

May 22, 2012 11:18 am I'm gonna give this a shot. What the hell eh?

May 22, 2012 11:15 am Okay, so Joshua Williamson presumably gets to tell the story he wants now, rather than picking up from Ron Marz. Hopefully this will be...stronger than Williamson's past couple of issues. This used to be one of my most anticipated books. Now? Not so much. Fingers crossed.

May 22, 2012 11:12 am I can't help but read that cover blurb in a Mortal Kombat voice.... HARVEST WINS!

May 21, 2012 11:58 pm ??? please say you're an insider with knowledge that this is actually happening! PLEASE!

May 21, 2012 11:49 pm Yes, I was referencing an internet meme. My actual opinion about this debate? Well... First off I think TheRealVenom has handled himself pretty well. Telling him to 'relax' etc doesn't seem necessary. Personally, I don't think that the interview in Playboy should really affect his decision to purchase or not purchase the book, but I'm a pretty big Morrison fan to begin with, so I'm getting it, no question. That said, the argument: "Do you think Dan Slott would ever call spiderman gay? no, or Johns with Hal Jordan? no, i’m sorry." falls flat for me. Morrison says what he says about Batman, cause, well, it's TRUE. Slott would never say that about Spiderman because the same cannot be said for Spiderman. Spidey is always pining after the girl who got away, or the girl who is unattainable, or the girl...(see where I'm going with this?). Hal is always torn between his love of adventure and his love of Carole, but Batman? Well, he's different. I don't think it's nearly as 'obvious' as Morrison makes it out to be in the interview, but you can certainly argue that it's there. AND others have already said it, but the real issue is in assuming that saying "Batman is gay" is meant to be an insult. To me it's obvious that Morrison is not trying to insult Batman. Finally, I CAN'T count on one hand Morrison's positive contributions to comics. 1) 52 2) Animal Man 3) Doom Patrol 4) We3 5) Seven Soldiers 6) JLA (and just in case you've got 6 fingers...) 7) New X-Men I could go on, but that's just opinion at the end of the day.

May 21, 2012 11:19 pm I agree, and it's a good question. I seem to remember people finding the story dragged a little in the middle, so I expect they would have been too much for people to take. Still, it's hard to say how these would have been received had they come out mid series, right now they seem so damn good! Almost too perfect...

May 21, 2012 11:07 pm Aquaman was a complicated political thriller before? How did I miss that?!?
