August 28, 2012 9:10 pm Creators or Characters or Story. When I was reading Preacher or Whedon's Astonishing I was hungry for more of that story. Even though I like everything Joss Whedon and Garth Ennis do I'm never confident that they can wow me again. Yet they always manage to. I've never had favorite characters. Just favorite stories. I never understood the people who buy out all the Batman or Star Wars books each month. I was buying four DC books that I'd never consider buying before the relaunch. Animal Man sounded stupid, Batwoman is jut a derivative of Batman and who goes around saying there a fan of Wonder Woman. Yet solid creative teams had we loving those stories. Those creative teams don't automatically get my money when they move to their next project, but they definitely get my strong consideration.

May 3, 2012 1:48 am I've really enjoyed almost everything that Whedon has done in comics, tv and film. If this movie had been a bomb I would have blamed it all on meddling execs. If successful I will give most of the credit to Whedon. It sounds to me like they had the climatic ending ready to go and brought Whedon in to give us satisfying character development, interactions and dialogue. Since we already know who's going to win, it makes sense to bring somebody in who can give us a connection to the characters in the fight.
