Damian’s confrontation with Talia was a little meh, but I like where this is going.

Wow … I don’t usually get weepy at the end of a comic book … but DAMN!

April 28, 2012 2:14 am I'm on DCBS ... haven't read it yet ...
April 19, 2012 12:52 am Not quite sure how Monet vs Layla is really a fair fight but I'll go with it I guess. Curious to see who it is that returns ...
April 9, 2012 4:56 pm @Paul Montgomery: It's a figure of speech ... Anyone can read the weekly podcast show notes and count the number of occurrences of Marvel, DC, Image, Dynamite, Boom, etc. etc. Image books probably get more mention than any of the other smaller publishers. But the lion's share of mentions go to Marvel and DC books.
April 9, 2012 3:51 pm @FormerPoetLaureate re: Boys ... word ... And you're not alone in your critique. But I don't come to this website looking for outside the box analysis. These guys pretty much hype the big two and that's it (I'm sure someone is now going to whine that I'm overlooking that once in a blue moon moment when they mention a Boom, Image, Dynamite or IDW comic). Most of what I enjoy reading on this site is related to fans posting comments on the books I read. But I don't expect this site to show me anything new anymore. I get that fix from Eleven O'Clock comics.
April 9, 2012 3:45 pm @KenOchalek: Well it was and it wasn't. There were features they added that you don't see in a standard digital comic like shifting/adding perspectives and focusing/unfocusing of different elements in the same panel that were novel. I agree the story wasn't as meaty as it might have been, but I felt that for a first time off the blocks effort it was enjoyable and left me intrigued with the possibilities for this medium.
April 8, 2012 9:02 pm X-Factor never fails to satisfy. I'm excited to see Havoc and Lorna on board! Also intrigued to see the hell on earth thread revisited. Will Darwin be making a reappearance?
April 8, 2012 7:09 pm I thought the Infinite Nova comic was really really cool--but you had to buy it separately to get the full effect. It is very different from guided view for comics published on paper and adapted for reading digitally. "Reading" the infinite comic was a completely different (and novel) experience.
April 8, 2012 4:47 pm I think you're right, and we're both looking for the same thing where Hope is concerned ... I'm guessing that I'm going to have to be one of those who sits back and waits to see how this series pans out before jumping aboard.
April 8, 2012 2:36 pm Not to mention the new Ultimate Spider-Man ...
April 8, 2012 2:32 pm You're right. I haven't. :) I'm just frustrated with what I perceive to be a lack of ingenuity. And in fairness to Marvel, Hickman's runs on FF and Fantastic Four have been phenomenal ... not to mention the bi-weekly enjoyment I take from X-Factor.
