June 19, 2013 12:41 am I kind of liked it.

June 12, 2013 1:45 am Not thrilled by this. Just read it and to me it was yet another Jim Lee ego fest. He got on Justice League with Johns and the book didnt get good until he left. Now Snyder. It seems that he only deigns to work when he gets the top tier writers. But he isnt holding up his end for me. The poster gimmick was foul.

June 3, 2013 3:52 pm Let's see, I have heard the phrase "You don't sound black", after meeting people who I have talked on the phone with. Been told "You don't look like a lawyer" when people ask me what I do for a living. When I walk into new comic shops it feels that people there think I am there to beat them up. The simple fact is that I have read comics non-stop from 1972, through high school and college football, through undergrad and law school, and continue to do so to this day. I play softball and weight train and can still bench press 500 pounds, but every Wednesday anyone who knows me knows that I can be found at my LCS getting my week's worth of new material. I saw Hardwick first on Talking Dead and while I don't know the guy at all, he comes across to me at least as someone trying too hard to say "Hey, I'm like you! Buy my stuff!" I feel that he is pandering to a defined market share and I find it a bit off-putting. When the trend of "gee' this or "nerd" that runs its course, just like "metrosexual" or MC Hammer pants or Boy Bands and soft jazz did, I will still be at my LCS every Wednesday getting my books. The pimping of a perceived culture isn't new but eventually those who are in it for exploitative reasons will go away, they always do, and then they will find the next thing to attach themselves to.

May 24, 2013 2:17 pm How close to the source material is this going to be? I don't recall Captain Atom being in the books, but I may be mistaken. Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing it.

May 23, 2013 2:25 am Completely agree!

April 16, 2013 5:50 pm The Tiger Mask-Dynamite Kid matches in Japan were 20 years ahead of their time and hold up as classics now.

April 15, 2013 3:20 pm Team Achilles was equally bad. As were all of the Stormwatch incarnations after the original runs.

April 3, 2013 11:32 pm Made it my pick as well for the same reasons mentioned. Great story, anytime Simonson draws Thor is a must have for me and the lettering by Eliopoulos was so incredibly Workman-esque, an all around great issue.

March 25, 2013 3:12 pm Loved X-Statix, and just just picked up the Omnibus. Was loving Wildcats 3.0 as well....until it was ended early so Jim (Super Ego) Lee could re-launch the title and of that new start exactly one issue came out.....grrrrrr....
