Perhaps it is unfair, but the comparison is inevitable in my mind. This is scarcely a glimmer of the wonderful…

This is likely the best issue of Aaron’s tenure on this title thus far. The story is beginning to make…

September 1, 2011 10:01 pm Mm. Need to have the panel near the end of X-Force when Warren lands in the small town with Genocide and consoles the angelic, beatific little boy and encourages him to tell his mother that he loves her. So... wrong, creepy, gentle and revolting.
September 1, 2011 8:39 pm Good story. Great art. Good start for the relaunch. Sadly, noticed that Jim Lee is already only a co-credit by issue 3...
August 30, 2011 5:42 pm I have always been partial to anti-heroes. However, I also love a true blue hero, like Spiderman, who always always tries to do the right thing for the right reason. I don't think that there are really a ton of anti-heroes in traditional comics, but there are plenty in the indie books that are excellent.

August 26, 2011 11:26 pm Morrison's JLA was the book that got me to take DC seriously. He hooked me with whatever magic (hyuk hyuk) he used there. I have continued to read DC to some extent or another since.

August 26, 2011 11:09 pm One thing that is interesting is your comment: When did a bad gaze outweigh a wonderful new flavor. We are, as an entire species, risk averse. Those who are too open with risk tend to edit themselves from our gene pool quickly. We are hardwired to avoid unpleasant experiences. While comics are far from life and death (for most of us) these generalized attitudes do form a fundamental sociological and genetic predisposition.
August 23, 2011 9:32 pm No. He is definitely more batshit, contrarian and flakey than most people in the world.
August 23, 2011 11:04 am After reading Supergods I can say, unequivocally, that Morrison is at least as batshit, contrarian and flakey as Alan Moore. That doesn't mean he is stupid, untalented or even necesarily wrong... but he is TOTALLY batshit.
August 21, 2011 10:32 pm A generic Hollywood action film. Devoid of any of the personality that should be Conan. A bit like an R rated Prince of Persia. Any time the director or actors were gifted with an opportunity to make an edgy, inventive choice they chose the safe route. This results in a focus tested, predictable and boring piece of drivel. The best part: titties. And the titties are credited as such 'Bare chested wenches'.
