May 19, 2012 4:35 pm I think, unfortunately, that the center piece of interior art here colors the rest in a negative fashion, particularly the space flight shot of Danvers. I clicked through to this article just to make certain that the piece was NOT a Liefeld page. It looks way too much like Liefeld for me to be comfortable with it, and I know how many people, myself included, are put off by Liefeld's art. I looked at the other pieces of art here though, and I think the center one actually might be a misstep from the overall style of this artist. I think the center piece, which is also the page used to advertise this article on the main page is giving people way too many Liefeld flashbacks though. I will probably flip through this in the store to see if it shifts more toward Liefeld or not. Ultimately, that will be the deciding factor for me.

March 7, 2012 12:40 am FINALLY someone gets what Jay Garrick is all about. It's not speed. It's RAT INFESTATION. I know I'm not the only one who remembers the epic tale of a young scientist desperately trying to improve the water quality in a down and out tenement building going so far as to experiment with HARD WATER. It was that commitment to URBAN LIVING CONDITIONS that turned him into the Flash, and I am glad DC has enough integrity to maintain that firm commitment to back story and continuity. NOW IF ONLY WE CAN GET A NEW 52 LOBO!!!!!

March 1, 2012 11:02 pm I just want everyone to know that I 100% called it on who that is in the Invincible costume and even the significance of his being in it. Seriously, heck my comment history for when the teaser image was posted. I'm normally not one to be all about myself, but god damn I was so right and it feels so good. SUCK IT TREBEK!

February 16, 2012 3:09 am I would take Templeton's words with a grain of salt. The panel about Friedrich creating Ghost Rider and Thomas and Ploog disagreeing is inaccurate. They all agree that Friedrich came up with the name and the supernatural origin component but that Thomas came up with the motorcycle riding component. The argument comes from who came up with the flaming skull part. Thomas says it was he and Ploog. Friedrich says he mainly did, and Ploog says he doesn't remember either way. These things are not the same as "completely disagree." As for the $17,00 counter-suit, he reduces Friedrich to a random "freelancer" rather than a co-creator of a character that Marvel is making movie money off of. Marvel is a corporation, owned by Disney, a larger corporation. Friedrich is a dude. To claim that he "owes them money" for their need to fight the lawsuit is ridiculous. I think Marvel and Disney will be okay without his money. They are simply punishing him for attempting to fight the horrible contracts the comic industry used during the time period he was working, and those contracts were horrible.

January 25, 2012 3:48 am I think you mean 'Totally Not Black Lightning Because He Is Hispanic And That Is Different!' Hispanic Lightning has a certain ring to it though

January 25, 2012 3:46 am Tigra has enhanced speed, strength, agility, reflexes, senses, etc. and she has claws. She is a were-cat person, so you know she has the same stuff going for her as like Wolfsbane or Feral or Wild Child or any of the million other "half-animal" people. Tigra does seem to be the lamest of the bunch by far though.

January 25, 2012 3:42 am Wonder Man saved the entire world in the Avengers: Emperor Doom graphic novel. Seriously, Doc Doom built a machine that amplified Purple Man's mind control power and took over the world. Wonder Man was the only one who was immune due to his "ionic energy being" status. You can guess the rest.

January 13, 2012 7:32 pm Liefeld? LIEFELD?!?!?!!? W. T. F. Seriously, I thought that Grifter and Voodoo and Stormwatch, the Wildstorm books, had really strong openings and teased that the integration of that universe with DC proper could actually work. Now though, it's like they've just written off attempting to reboot that universe by melding into this one and instead done everything they can to return it to the early 90s when it was pretty much horrible. I mean....really?!?!?! I mean we all know Jim Lee's original WildC.A.T.S. run was the most celebrated in the history of the title. The later, more story focused runs such as Alan Moore's and Joe Casey's were completely forgettable and no one ever mentions those when they discuss what was good about WildC.A.T.S. Nope, not at all.

January 13, 2012 7:27 pm I am not really up on my Liefeld either, but I do know that his original Image work Youngblood keeps getting "re-released" with "all-new dialogue!" meaning they kept the art and tried to fix the horror that was the writing in that title. If that doesn't erode your faith in Liefeld, then nothing will.
