May 25, 2012 12:02 pm The much needed direction this series needed. Under Milligan, it was a decent read but felt like a whirlwind of events happening without rhyme or reason. Here it's much more clear what the direction of the book is, and it also doesn't take itself too seriously like it previously did.

May 25, 2012 9:44 am Loved the return of the interestingly artistic sound effects...they were my favorite thing about Batman & Robin.

May 25, 2012 9:35 am Ms. Marvel's mask cracked me up. Her design is probably my favorite.

May 25, 2012 12:34 am No Eric, we read the whole thing. The point was that you were looking for hypocrisy where it doesn't exist.

May 24, 2012 6:43 pm I couldn't imagine an alternate universe where that Batcow panel DIDN'T make it into the Best Panels list.

May 24, 2012 12:32 pm Man...if you can't discern this from something that's "demeaning to strong women", then there's truly no helping you.

May 23, 2012 1:00 pm Calling me out, then criticizing me for responding? Class. We're done here.

May 23, 2012 11:44 am You say it's on Marvel, but it's still sounding like a personal thing. Even if we ignore the fact that the first issue of Liu's run majorly focused on the couple, it's inconsequential if little was done with him in this series due to the fact that mainstream comics are mostly continuous, so even though characterization happened in a mini series you're ignoring, it still happened and counts for here. Even Whedon's Astonishing X-Men, which is hailed as a great stand-alone story, has a ton of instances of this. Besides, just because we were introduced to this couple recently doesn't mean that they've been going out for only two days. It's futile to calculate time elapsed in the comic book world.

May 23, 2012 11:00 am Because "four" people read the Alpha Flight mini means that the character development is invalid? That's on you, dude.

Cause, you know what, all those musicians who made that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years...rrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J10w3FuCwfQ
