November 14, 2012 12:19 pm I love teen books. I loved the Young Avengers, Runaways, Avengers Academy, and New X-Men. I even had a certain fondness towards the Initiative. Therefore it makes me kind of sick to see this kind of book being release by Marvel. This isn't how I want to see some of my favorite characters return. I don't want to see them die. I don't want to see them become murderers. Instead of getting me interested, this is killing my interest in Marvel. Killing off a bunch of my favorite characters is a great way to lose me as a reader.

August 13, 2012 6:50 pm @BionicDave: and that's sort of exactly what I'm talking about. You can give Death Note an A+, but in my eye, I'd give it a C-, with a pitiful secondary cast, completely unlikable main character, and enough Plot Armor to make Ichigo jealous. But that's just my opinion, based around my own tastes, values and experiences. It really isn't any more right or wrong than yours. That's why I think it's best if you let them choose a genre and let them go from there.

August 10, 2012 7:07 pm depends on what you like. Shonen, Shoujo, Sci-Fi, Slice of Life, Fantasy. Manga is just about as diverse as any other media.

August 10, 2012 1:44 am was Utena transgendered? I never really saw it that way. Utena did want to be a prince, but I always believed that was about being symbolic of what a prince should be and not actually trying to be a guy. I've never really read the Utena manga, and only seen the anime so maybe this is a manga thing.

August 9, 2012 4:26 pm These are some great titles.Here are a couple others that I think definitely could have made the list: Aoi Hana by Takako Shimura Gunjou by NAKAMURA Ching Octave by AKIYAMA Haru I could go on, but I think these three would be the titles I'd recommend the most.

July 31, 2012 1:26 pm No mention of Kate Bishop? I thought she was going to be in this title. As much as I like Clint, it was Kate Bishop that was really selling me on this.

June 1, 2012 3:48 pm I have no problem with Alan Scott being gay. My problem is with them having a de-aged Alan Scott. One of the great defining features of Alan Scott and the rest of the JSA was their age and experience. We already have 4 Earth Youthful Male Green Lanterns. Why do we need another one? I would have rather had Alan Scott be gay, but still be an old Veteran hero.

May 4, 2012 4:07 pm Yet, Tony introduces themselves to Loki as the Avengers before the fight. He calls them the Avengers. I don't see why it's bad for Tony to call them the Avengers in one scene, but not have Captain America use their signature catchphrase. Not a big issue. Just means I have to wait 4 years to hear Cap say it in the sequel.

i am surprised how good this was!!

ill admit i had my doubts, after reading submit, though i shouldnt have with the success of Revelations and Rogues Revenge

Ill admit i am very impressed by Greg Rucka's work here. He manages to really show off the world where evil has won in a strong manner. in many ways i feel he has built more to the world better than Grant Morrison inside the main title. Greg Rucka manages to pefectly walk the line as he makes us feel that there is no hope, that evil has won, just before giving us a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

with great tie-ins like this, Rage of the Red Lanterns Revelations, and Rogues Revenge DC has turned me to the dark side away from my Marvel roots.

Then again Secret Invasion failure practically did that by itself!
