    February 2, 2012 5:24 pm Now THIS is a very deserving title (and edition) for book of the month!
    December 19, 2011 10:09 am I'll buy both if (and only if) Sinestro Corps comes with the Sinestro Tales and if Batman & Robin comes with Return of Bruce Wayne. Otherwise I don't see myself spending money for something I already have.
    August 4, 2011 3:44 pm Looks very good to me!.

    Here's a better look:  http://www.beyondhollywood.com/first-look-at-henry-cavill-in-his-superman-outfit/henry-cavill-in-superman-man-of-steel-3/
    June 21, 2011 11:56 am Yup!.  And now that we are a few days from Transformers (that looks destructive), GL seems to be in a bad spot.

    They deserve it.  That's what happen when you don't make justice out of a great character.
    June 16, 2011 3:15 pm Indeed the movie had awful marketing from the begining, but even at the end I didn't get excited.

    @j206:  Green Lantern is worst than X-Men: Last Stand and Wolverine???.   O-U-C-H!!!!!

    This weekend will be Super 8 then.
    June 15, 2011 3:28 pm "While on paper, Ryan Reynolds should make a decent Hal Jordan, his limited range as an actor is painfully obvious as he's essentially playing the same character he's played in every other movie only this time wearing CG spandex. He gives it a fine college effort to bring his usual charms to the character, but he's no Robert Downey Jr. and the dialogue he's given does little to make Hal likeable".

    It was to be expected.  Marketing made the movie look like trash since day 1.  Now Rotten Tomatoes only have 24% freshness. 

    I knew it.

    Still going to watch it though.
    June 15, 2011 3:20 pm AND RUSSEL CROW WIL PLAY JOR-EL!!!!!!
    June 15, 2011 3:03 pm As expected:  http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/green_lantern/

    GREEN LANTERN MOVIE ONLY GOT SO FAR 24% FRESHNESS ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. 

    Let's see how it goes for next week.


    June 8, 2011 12:12 pm Regarding Geoff Johns work, the review is spot on.  The guy can't do wrong, and as a first time reader of Johns Flash, I must say the guy did a great job so many years ago.

    However, this is what the review doesn't cover:  The quality of the book and page count VS price.

    Does any of you got "Legion Of Superheroes: Great Darkness Saga Deluxe Edition"?.  If you do, then you'll have a better notion of the quality of the Flash Omnibus.  Same size as the Deluxe Edition, weak dustjacket, glued binding.

    I got the Legion book because I thought $39.99 for more than 400 pages was a bargain, an it was!.  I had a great run plus several extras at the end, that included sketches, scripts and comments made it a GREAT DEAL!!.

    Now, this Flash book have 448 pages BUT it cost $75 (??!!). 

    No comments, no extras, no sketches.  No higher quality than The Legion book nor anything.  Nothing that justify the price tag really, just Johns magic that, as the same review here says, is not just yet the best of Jonhs Flash run.

    Amazon offer a 41% discount on this one making it $44.  Sorry to say, the book is still $15 too expensive.  But that's for you to decide, of course.

    I rather get the two first Flash trades that are still at a great price on Amazon and Ebay, save oodles of money, and not be part of DC Comics Greed Machine that nowadays is so common.  I would like to say that Geoff Johns writing and the pretty art worth the money, but they don't.  Not for me of course.

    I have to thank DC though because thanks to these BS overpriced products they've been launching I've found myself cancelling several DC books and go Marvel for the first time in my life.  I got a few Marvel Omnibuses and I feel my money's worth a tenfold. 

    Thanks DC!!.  Thanks for making the competition look better!!!!!.
