December 15, 2011 1:40 pm Not a fan of the artwork, but Remender has me hooked for the duration of the run.

December 6, 2011 2:44 pm Um, I've seen much much worse art printed in many comics over the years than what we have gotten in the rebooted Action Comics so I just don't get where the complaints are coming from; and for the first time since I was 7 years old I give a crap about Superman thanks to this new interpretation from Morrison. At 34 I find that I can't wait for Brainiac coming fully into play and seeing how a young Clark learned the ropes with his first large scale antagonist.

December 5, 2011 7:01 pm The first week of the month is DC heavy for me with Action, Animal Man, StormWatch, Swamp Thing and I'm dropping Tec after issue #4 and the end of the first arc... just cant stomach it anymore. Also keeping my pull of Elric, and thinking about giving Venom a try since its a new arc and the great Remender is behind it... only to get something good from Marvel until their jewel Uncanny X-Force comes out next week.

November 22, 2011 1:37 pm Sorry, Fear Itself ruined it for me, I'm in no mood to give it time and read how Thor will make his big return. It's a shame really because I did quite like the Galactus seed story. Book dropped until we can get a better writer for the IMO best Avenger.

November 15, 2011 5:29 pm Consider this in my preorder list :)

November 14, 2011 3:01 pm Marvel's higher prices are perhaps a result of their complacency with being market leader for such a long time month in month out; and if October sales were any indication of the months to come, lets just say that Marvel will be forced to do something to catch up and reclaim that piece of the sales pie chart. So yeah, I'm pulling more DCs than I ever had and I'm crossing my fingers that they will remain on top for quite some time, and then the suits who oversee the subsidiaries revenue at Disney will finally come to see how having an industry consistent pricing is actually healthy. Having said that, I can't help but keep buying my favorites even at 3.99. But they are only 5 ongoings vs the 12 I'm getting from DC. Oh and if you are reading this and want to get great bang from your buck when reading Marvel, do yourself a favor and pick up Daredevil for 2.99 a pop.

October 11, 2011 1:18 pm You got that right

September 27, 2011 1:14 pm This title is one of the best Indies out there, any fan of classic SciFi will enjoy it, will continue to pull.

September 19, 2011 12:30 pm Now this is one of those articles I was expecting to pop up everywhere and have found only this one. Coming from a Marvel-mostly background and having picked up some of the titles from the relaunch I can def say that I'll happily follow quite a few titles. Justice League can be best described as a slow burner, introductions will take time and the threat will escalate over the first arc, and it seems that will take some 9 to 12 issues from the looks of things. Still not a bad start, and from what little I know Darkseid can be a major antagonist. And yeah the ring trick was smile worthy. Action Comics finally presented a modern, not by-the-book Superman. A major character that never held my interest - while a bit too Peter Parker-y - he could now be on my pull list. Detective was fine for my tastes, as everyone I came in having read some Batman stories before and found this one quite entertaining, a classic Joker hunt with a twist; were it not for the cliched one liners it would have been my favorite from first week. Oh and thanks to Scott Snyder for confirming that Alfred continues to be a real person on twitter, my worries are gone. I'm still on the fence about Stormwatch, as a fan of Warren Ellis and his Image/Wildstorm work with the former title, The Authority and Planetary; I came in with lots of background and thus mid to high expectations. The final product felt a bit disjointed, the introductions and the three plot threads going on stretched the plot too thin - and I just don't care for the Midnighter's new spike heavy costume... will see the first arc thru before I decide to pull or drop. Onto week 2: I also picked up Batwoman, it was just AWESOME! the non-blocky panels with some great artwork and a supernatural mystery to solve... I had never read anything featuring the character before and its already on my pull list :) Green Lantern was also good for me, this title I'm most familiar with having followed the relaunch a few years back up to Blackest Night. The shock factor of Sinestro being a GL again against his will is the main attraction here, my interest is picked and I'll follow it to see where it leads. Grifter: sigh... it was not good IMO, I had hopes for a better Wildstorm integration but that certainly did not bode well for the future of the series, after one issue I'm ready to drop... a con man getting abducted, losing time and then hearing voices is not something something that gets my attention really. Sadly I was unable to get copies of Demon Knights, Frankenstein, Animal Man and Swamp Thing; the only LCS in town ran out due to an unwillingness to take risks on those books... hope I can get my hands on them later on and give them a try. Oh, and for the record: I also don't care for Deadpool either; not every Marvel fan likes him you know?
