July 30, 2013 8:15 pm I hope the cast is filled with 30 year olds playing 16 year olds. That aside, great!

July 30, 2013 6:24 pm Literally the reason the Sentinels weren't in previous movies is that an executive at FOX was dead set on not having giant robots in any of his movies. He was canned around the time First Class came out. Forget his name though.

July 30, 2013 2:52 pm Excellent. It does seem like Avengers is getting Fox to step up their game on Days of Future Past.

July 24, 2013 12:52 pm Nabbed this and MIND MGMT from a tradein a few weeks ago. Need to get on both, but this really makes me want to read Strange Attractors! "Be biased with your bad self, Flanagan" to use a 90s-ism.

July 24, 2013 12:48 pm Great article, Jeff. As part of my larger GL run, I had to pick these issues up. While some distasteful stuff happens early on, the Christopher Priest GL story is actually pretty good, culminating in one of my favorite GL stories - Lord Malvolio! (The character has completely disappeared from use. Legend has it that DC and Christopher Priest were so at odds with each other after the end of ACW that when Gerard Jones asked to use Malvolio in a plot line years later, editorial told him no, they were not to acknowledge plot elements from Priest. Jones later snuck a fleeting reference to Malvolio in one issue, where Hal warns Guy Gardner about the encounter, but never uses his name.) ACW is pretty hit or miss, story wise. I did rather enjoy the Black Canary and Nightwing and Speedy stories. Legend of the Green Flame is actually a pretty good story, if a little bogged down by being 11 years removed from its context.
