May 25, 2012 2:55 am This blew me away. I didnt expect this to be THAT GREAT! All i can say is wow! This is why you should listen to the guys in the "know" at your LCS. I never would have thought about getting this if it wasn't for him. Its almost scary, i'm enjoying indy books as much as if not more that superhero books. thehell!

May 22, 2012 1:37 am @Zlb @Riley Ya twitter is pretty rad when it comes to talking to creators. Ask a thoughtful question, say something nice etc etc usually gets you responces. I just talked to Rick Remender via twitter asking about Secret avengers and hell, Humberto Ramos who draws spidey even follows me.

May 22, 2012 1:13 am It's been so-so. Her X-23 stuff was much better IMHO. Its still a good read though. Kinda hard to justify the 3.99 but hey...

May 21, 2012 11:21 pm Just talked to Remender via twitter, he told me 27 and 28 are must reads for anyone pulling the new Cap Marvel series. Pretty much defines the character.

May 21, 2012 4:58 pm I'm the exact opposite. I can name 50 marvel and maybee 20 dc of the top of my head. even the B grade villans in marvel seem to stick out more to me than DC's. Probably just a product of growing up a spiderman fanboy.

May 21, 2012 4:36 pm Also i appologize for this becoming a shit show. Didn't intend that. My original point was because I disagree with his comments I will not be pulling this series.

May 21, 2012 4:33 pm Absolutely not, I like Northstar and am loving marjorie Liu's work on astonishing x-men and look forward to the big wedding issue, What I have a problem with is grant taking an icon like batman and calling him very very gay in his opinion. Clearly he backtracks saying he's intended to be heterosexual. Again, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but i know for a fact other writers wouldn't speak of their characters like morrison did. Its just another thing that bugs me about the guy. I seriously believe he is detrimental to DC.

May 21, 2012 4:18 pm Ok i'm wrong and i'm right. "Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There’s just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he’s intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay. I think that’s why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn’t care—he’s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid." I understand that this is his opinion of batman, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, and in my humble opinion he's just wrong. Do you think Dan Slott would ever call spiderman gay? no, or Johns with Hal Jordan? no, i'm sorry. That says to me he doesn't love the charactor.

May 21, 2012 4:09 pm So, If i plan on pulling the new Captain Marvel series is this a must have book to see how Carol becomes the new Cap?

May 21, 2012 4:06 pm Correct me if i'm wrong, I may very well be, but Morrison called batman gay in a derogatory way in the playboy interview. Speaking for myself, I won't support a writer who bashes one of the greatest super heroes of all time. If you don't like a character why write one of his books? DC has a slew of writers who i think could do this book justice and make it less convoluted than the last batman inc series.
