September 26, 2011 9:47 am 'Although it is considered way too far down the ladder to be considered for a movie' - I thought that a movie was in the works back in the day when Dustin Hoffman took an interest in the Morrison run?

September 26, 2011 9:39 am Jonny Lee Miller seems a little young to me to play Buddy, who I always felt was a better character as an older man and father figure than as a younger man. My choice for the role would be Dennis Leary - and for Ellen? Christina Hendricks.

September 6, 2011 1:32 pm This week has been in my calendar for a little while now. As a digital-only reader these days, I'm interested to see whether or not DC live up to their promise of 1/1 digital releases; I'll be super impressed if I can wake up tomorrow and get my Action Comics, Animal Man and Swamp Thing fix in one go.

September 6, 2011 1:29 pm At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if that closet led Narnia-style in to the Marvelman universe. Still, I'd rather have him fly out of that thing than The Sentry.

September 6, 2011 1:26 pm maybe I shouldn't be judging the New Avengers book anyway, as I have a particular grudge with this book. To me, the Avengers should never have been made in to a street-level team, this should be the book where the creative team get to throw every concept within the Marvel U at the wall and see what sticks. This should be the "every-flavored-gobstopper" of Marvel's publishing line, and the only time in recent memory that the franchise came close to reaching this potential was during Dan Slott's run on "Mighty".

September 6, 2011 1:14 pm No ctrosejr, you're right on the money. Bendis had driven this kind of story in to the ground at the end of his previous New Avengers run, and his over-reliance on the shock value of having the Avengers splinter and turn on each other doesn't seem to have waned one bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually a fan of Bendis (his USM is a particular favorite of mine), but I personally feel that he is simply not a team-book guy. In place of developing the characters on the team and their relationships naturally by just letting go and allowing them to play off one another as the plot develops, he forces them to butt heads with one-another whenever possible and makes THAT the central plot, even if the conflict or dispute that he shoe horns in as a story arc is completely out of character for those involved.

August 30, 2011 10:20 am I'd have put Static's manhole covers / dustbin lids on the list.

August 27, 2011 4:11 pm I wonder if this is going to be set on Earth-1 with the majority of the DCnU's magical properties, or set on Starman and the JSA's Earth-2. Wouldn't mind the former, but I'm hoping for the latter.

June 30, 2011 4:02 pm wow. Which issue is this from?

My favourite character is The Joker. My answer is **** No.
