December 13, 2011 3:38 pm This looks beautiful but with Bendis this means there's 99% probability there will be no clear conclusion. Not even the Witch can alter those odds.
November 1, 2011 1:46 pm Agreed. I'm a big fan of Mr. Richards but I'd like an unbiased opinion because I didn't believe Schism for a second.
October 26, 2011 3:02 pm Do you think Tom is going to visit to talk about the new Aquaman?
October 20, 2011 11:18 pm If you're rating JL #1 a zero then that's what I'm going to have to rank you're ability to judge quality. MTV comic readers. If you don't get everything you want, and wants are fickle in this hipster world, than foot-stomping ensues. Poo.
October 20, 2011 10:08 am You don't know what you're talking about. This issue was twice as good as the first one. They are really pulling this together. The Superman they have introduced us to is threatening. So far, we know that this universe's Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash can barely hold him back. We don't know which way this is going to go or what kind of relationship Superman and Batman are going to have going on with this. I like that and it's refreshing to see the old camaraderie ripped away and this harsh new reality imposed. I picked this up with Wonder Woman #2 and I am absolutely loving what they have done with her. So, when I got to the end of JL #2 and saw "Next: Wonder Woman!", my blood raced! I am betting that DC sets it up so that Superman's equal is WW and I don't think they are going to see eye to eye!
October 19, 2011 3:51 am Man, my very first comic was that X-Men right up top there with the wild-haired redhead announcing herself. Bring her back.
October 8, 2011 1:47 pm I was way into this from issues #1-3 but the brakes began to screech on #4. I think my hope that the X-Men were returning to their glory days as the premier Marvel team and title diluted my ability to see the faulty characterization. Wolverine taking a stand against Cyclops I can buy but Wolverine doing that as the defender of morality? Absolutely not. Aaron was so interested in putting a compelling twist on this storyline that he twisted it too far. I would believe this more if Cyclops was the one defending the children and Wolverine, predictably, was the roughhouser wanting to move defense to offense. I mean, come on, has everyone overlooked the fact that Wolverine is commandeering a black ops team vis a vis Cyclops' orders? The slasher in X-Force wants to be a junior high teacher? Hell no. And, more so, can Marvel back off a little with this guy? After squeezing him into the Avengers line-up we now have to endure him helming his own X-Men team? I say every X-man that joins his team is a punkass traitor and should lose their blue and gold priviliges permanently. And if Storm isn't Team Cyclops than Aaron doesn't know shit about these people and is taking us all for a walk in the park. But I won't be there anyway because splitting up the X-Men on these grounds and giving an oversaturated Wolverine yet another title has turned me off. All burners on low.
September 12, 2011 7:55 pm I am so proud of myself for dropping this after #4. What sheer crap!
September 6, 2011 5:25 pm I have never heard of the term "cover dress" before. I was pretty sure it was going to involve Anne Hathaway and I am relieved that it does not.
September 1, 2011 2:05 am I picked up JL #1 today and I loved it. I'm very excited about the relaunch and I want in on lots of it. Fortunately, I'm at a great place in my comic reading now where I am balancing old love for superheroes (first book I read was Uncanny X-Men #97, you toddlers) but thanks to iFanboy Ive expanded in the last few years and grown into Walking Dead, Locke & Key, Irredeemable, Morning Glories. A shit ton of non-traditional iconic superhero stuff. So I feel like I can grab from this 52 and find gems that are both pop--really want that Wonder Woman!--and more off center like, I hope, Mr. Terrific and Frankenstein. But so much looks good! That Catwoman cover is sweet! And Reis on Aquaman! Yeeesss!
