July 10, 2013 7:57 am Whats wrong with good sequels? Don't you like the godfatherpart two, The Dark Knight, Empire Strikes Back, Back to the Future 2, X2 and so on? Whats wrong with good superhero movies, if you love the genre? I really don't get this annoying, naysaying negativity towards this. You like comics, so you like serialized fiction. Thats what a sequel is!

July 10, 2013 7:53 am For me the movies are a great way to share my love for certain characters with people who just don't have any interest in reading a comic. Since the Dark Knight a lot of people who once though I was stupid to like Batman completely turned around and asked if the comics are also that well written and serious. I like that discussion and that situation, because it shows that those characters are bigger than comics. That they are so great that they work in nearly every medium. Sure, I love comics, but more than that I love certain characters. Batman for example. I don't care if its a comic, a novel, a movie or a tv show. I follow that guy wherever and I love that! I love that it can exist in so many mediums.

July 10, 2013 7:46 am Crap. Just as I was thinking about getting Suicide Squad again...

July 10, 2013 7:41 am I don't get the problem. As a comic fan I love serialized fiction and superheroes, so sequels are a good thing, as long as they are quality. Sure, I enjoy a great non sequel non superhero movie as much as the next guy, but I don't worry about that since those movies aren't going anywhere. The mainstream movie superherohype will continue for maybe another 6 years, then it will fade away again and only the big guns like Batman will stay and thats ok. But until then, I will enjoy this time in hollyood fully and watch almost every superhero movie with glee (when they are quality).

July 9, 2013 10:23 am Yes!!! Say no to Ryan Reynolds Deadpool! Will Arnett is a great choice! He would have to beef up a bit, though,

July 9, 2013 10:19 am I like the long saga aspect of modern writers much more than the old school stuff. For example, look at Morrisons great Batman run, or Remenders Uncanny X-Force. Thats something that was unheard of back then. But then again, I am not one of the most nostalgic comic readers. I always liked the present of comics, no matter when it was.

July 5, 2013 5:19 pm To really appreciate this great character I think you have to read Morrisons entire Batman run + Tomasis Batman and Robin + the first two trades/hardcovers of Streets of Gotham by Paul Dini, which is kinda a forgotten gem of a series. It features great confrontations between "Bruce Wayne"Hush and Damian (like when he exploded Hush out of a moving elevator to talk to him) and a really great story of a child fighting ring by Victor Zsasz, how the death of kids affect Damian and how he confronts Zsasz without Batman in a knife fight. GOOD STUFF! Sadly the series ended with a whimper. I think thats the reason noone remembers it.

July 4, 2013 6:23 am Great artist for a great series! I am all for it! As long as Lemire writes Animal Man, it will never leave my pull list, or my heart (yep, I went there)!

July 3, 2013 12:28 pm I LOVED Fractions Thor, since its the run that finally made me a Thor fan, after years of disliking the character. Aarons Thor is also great, just like his Wolverine/Wolverine and the Xmen run. With Remender I love Uncanny X-Force, Fear Agent and his new Captain America. I have to say, judging those writers without having read what they are most loved for is a bit... Short sighted/stupid.

July 3, 2013 12:25 pm Black Science is absolutely for me! YES! When its a bit like Fear Agent I am in for a goooooooooooood time! And as much as I like the team of Brubaker and Epting, I am not sure if I can buy another espionage comic from Ed. I mean, come on. We all know he does that well, but how about doing something new and fresh?
