September 13, 2012 11:11 am I'm surprised Marvel has never attempted a monthly series focusing on Prof. X while having various X-Men being the minor characters. I think that would be interesting.
September 4, 2012 3:46 pm With Marvel NOW happening, I've stopped buying all Marvel books until they start over.... Otherwise the books feel like filler for the most part....
July 30, 2012 9:22 am I finally saw The Dark Knight Rises last night. Wow, what a disappointment. Chris Nolan needs to come up with a better plot. He used the same one for all three movies. Build up the character, knock him down, build him back up. After this movie, they can never make another Batman without starting all over again. Do you REALLY want to see Batman's origin again? Also, why is it that so many people figured out who Batman was so easily? They could have have had the same movie without that. Also, Bane. First his voice was poorly dubbed. No matter where he was what kind of room he was in his voice sounded the same. It sounded like it was pasted in. Why is it that Bane could break granite with his fists, but not cave in Batman's face? On Batman himself: why is it he could break rock with his FOOT just because he was wearing a automated knee brace? On SPOILER: Robin. I figured out who the young cop was right away. Again, even he figured out who Batman was, who didn't know? Not only was the whole nuclear bomb plot cut and paste, but poor. He takes the bomb over the ocean, and he's a hero? So much for radiation poisoning in the ENTIRE OCEAN! As soon as Alfred told Bruce the story about finding him Italy living his life you KNEW right then how the movie was going to end. When I heard that Anne Hathaway was playing Catwoman, I was like: "she weights 110 lbs and looks like she couldn't hurt a fly." But she pulled it off. She was the best part of the movie. Bruce being crippled was again, giving an early end to the character. He's supposed to be better than a normal person. Also, him "breaking" his back and FIXING it in prison was the laziest/crappiest part of the whole movie. Batman has an incredible line of characters (heroes, villains, and regular people in all of comicdom not sure why that just had to pin the entire series on Ra's Al Ghul.'' This movie felt unnecessarily big, over produced and rushed. It felt like an afterthought and a contract obligation by Nolan. I wanted to love this movie, but I can just says it's okay. I mean stop pandering to the lowest common denominator and write a smart movie. "The Dark Knight Rises" It was a HUGE letdown. Star Wars Ep.1 proportions. 2 out of 5 stars.
July 11, 2012 1:43 pm Me too. Hickman brought me back to Marvel. I'm still not sure what the whole point of any of this is.... All it did was make me drop every monthly comic except FF & FF.
June 6, 2012 12:02 pm I'm all for this. DC needs to bring back the magic that made them great. Batman and the Outsiders would be to the Justice League as the X-Men is to the Avengers.... The New 52 has brought me back to (new) comics and this would make it even better. Chris, you should work for DC.
May 2, 2012 9:18 am I've been dying for an Earth 2 book (I love the JSA). Funny how the best / bravest custom designs are found in this book.
February 8, 2012 12:47 am HALF the time....... Ugh.
February 8, 2012 12:45 am Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand Tochini’s art. It's messy, and I can't understand what's going on have the time. It's more like a drunken sketch.
January 29, 2012 6:52 pm Yes this book is still very solid. Remender is on top of his game. I just wish they had a solid artist on every issue to compliment him.
January 26, 2012 1:17 pm Why has the art in this book completely sucked the last three issues? Where is Jerome Opeña?
