March 12, 2013 11:48 pm As a fan that started reading DC comics with the New 52 this was the story I has hoping all the new titles would tell. I wanted to read a new year one! Hopefully other titles will follow suit.

March 5, 2013 8:55 pm @BionicDave I get what you're saying on the would I support someone someone who removed rights from African Americans or Jews but the issue of marriage is a little more complicated. Marriage is a very religious ceremony. The fact that the government has any say on how marriage works infringes on religious rights. How many Mormons (Which Card is) have not been allowed to marry multiple wives? Would you support someone who was actively against polygamy? Why is that different than same sex marriage? If a religion that supports homosexuality wants to marry a same sex couple they should be allowed to. If it's against a particular church's beliefs then they should be the ones to decided if they preform the ceremony. Orson Scott Card is fighting based on his religious views of what marriage should be. Its not on if they shouldn't vote, be allowed to eat, work or shop with heterosexuals, or something like that. His method of trying to use politics to push his religious views on this country is not something I agree with or support but that's why I can separate his religious views from his writing. Its no different to me than when people push to have their religious view of evolution to be taught in school. It's no different than when people that push to have Christians not be aloud to display mangers at Christmas in government offices. It's no different than when the writers of television actively right antiChristian scripts. Marriage is a religious issue that Card unjustly is trying to push via his organization.

March 5, 2013 5:01 pm Well now I'm not interested in this book anymore. Card is a great writer and I could care less about his personal beliefs. He has a right to believe what he believes just as much as a homosexual has the right to get married. I'm not against gay rights or anything I just can separate the author from the material. As a Christian you are expected to in todays pop culture. If I didn't read books that attempt to make Christianity seem stupid, watch television shows or movies that depict Christians as hateful hypocrites, or read comic books where authors believe God is an imaginary being I wouldn't be able to enjoy most forms of entertainment. BTW In Card's Homecoming series the most kind, compassionate and sacrificial person is homosexual. When I read his series not knowing his personal comments I thought he was an advocate of homosexuality.

February 20, 2013 3:10 pm I dropped GL recently because I've thought the New 52 stuff has been pretty boring. I like Venditti so I might give it a try again now.

February 19, 2013 12:11 pm Ok cool. I'll give it a try. Hopefully its an "out of the park" kind of book. It feels like outside of Ultimate Spidy we don't get the young hero books anymore. This should be interesting.

February 19, 2013 12:08 pm I miss Hal too. I liked him in JL more than in the GL book. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

February 19, 2013 12:06 pm Conor said he has the books, he just needs to read them! If they gave a shout out to these books then I'm sure more people on the site would give it a try. Harbinger and X-O are the ones to read of the 5. And I have 0 previous knowledge of Valiant so its not just a fanboy thing.

February 18, 2013 8:20 pm I second everything said above!

February 18, 2013 8:19 pm I know what you mean. Two of my least favorite Marvel characters, Hawkeye and Thor, are my two favorite Marvel books. Luckily Greg Land is doing art for Iron Man so I don't have to worry about my other least favorite character attracting my attention lol
