August 1, 2013 10:02 pm Yeah, I agree about the special feature. You'd have Geoff Johns talking with absolute joy about who the Rouges are and all the quirky ways they were unlike other villains (limited ambition, stolen weapons instead of super geniuses, relatable personalities), and then you'd have Buccellato reminding me why I stopped reading the book. I really do miss the John's era Wally West Flash.

November 30, 2011 9:56 pm Ad Age used that book because it has the word "new" in the title--I guarantee it. It reenforces the theme of the article about the new DCU.
November 17, 2011 5:42 pm It's definitely for the better, in my opinion. It keeps her tied to Greek Myth (more so, even), but sets up a natural arch villain in Hera. It connects her directly to the dysfunction of the Greek Gods--it instantly makes her world more textured and interesting. Brilliant stroke of ret-conning.
August 24, 2011 8:55 pm My take is that so much of it has a very...passive quality. A "life is hard..." and that's it tone. There's very little aspirational about the Chris Ware school of comic story telling. Superhero's, on the other hand, are proactive.
July 20, 2011 12:09 pm Josie And The Pussycats is among the most under-rated flicks of all time.
June 19, 2011 6:59 pm In the post-credits, I thought it was Sinestro experimenting with the yellow ring--almost like a drug addict. He didn't disown the green, just tried on the new one. Thought it was a cool angle.
April 28, 2011 4:46 pm Guh. This is Superman's "Nomad" phase.

I'm sick of a Superman who lacks confidence. All-Star Superman got it right by making him SUPERman. He was filled with sentimental love of Earth and the people in it in a relatable way, while also living in a sci-fi fantasy world of wonder and possibilities. Not one moment in that story though, even when he was dieing, did he sit around and mope or walk around like he didn't know what to do.

I'm so over seeing panels of him standing around wiht shoulders slumped and his head down. Lets see Superman FLY again.
