It's pretty?

Do it Tim!

I dunno…up to about Issue 12 it was top-tier stuff, and then the fill-in arc started and things have sorta stalled into tedium. I liked the remix issue, but that's probably been the only standout these past few months.

Same, Multiversity is up there as one of the few essential comics of the New 52 era

I like Grayson a lot, but I find the gulf between the King written issues and the Seeley ones to be pretty wide. I'm always kinda keeping my fingers crossed when I look at the credits page.

Frontier is wonderful, Island is mostly good though it's filled with some iffy stuff too, and I do greatly enjoy Midnighter and Omega Men a lot.

I sure hope Mirror Master appears soon. The Rogues just aren't the same without him.

I imagine if Hamill can't appear for whatever reason, Graye is their backup plan.

Though the claim that Moffat had a bigger budget to work with flies in the face of reports that his budgets were actually cut when he first walked onto the set. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/…

Yeah, the first season was definitely the story that Davies had always been wanting to tell with the character and he kind of ran out of gas after that IMO.

Yep, after this finale, this is officially among the best seasons of NuWho, right along with the first and the fifth.

I finally picked up all four volumes of Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell's Zenith. So far, so good. You can sense the Miracleman/Watchmen influence, but there's a lot of the stuff that Morrison will be fascinated with his entire career as well (fractal geometry, spins on Lovecraft, metacommentary on comics, etc etc).

Check out SexCoven from her issue of Frontier. It's outstanding!

It's probably also my least favorite Morrison long-form thing, so I get where he's coming from. Coincidentally, its the only X-Men book I even halfway enjoy, unless we count Milligan/Allred.

Yeah, it's six of one, half a dozen the other on Season 7. I have a hard time remembering much good from either, though I did enjoy The Name of the Doctor a lot more than most.

Yeah, as someone who isn't the biggest Davies fan, I'd prefer to not really get into a reductive comparison contest between the two eras. Plus, their approaches feel very different to me at a fundamental level that I think siloing the two is a better way to look at it. Also, it avoids the inevitable arguments.

As much as I enjoyed last season, I've probably settled on the idea that it's about on par with Season 6, with some good standalones but a good deal of naff and an arc that doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. This year's is the season with episodes I feel like I'll watch again and again, much like Season 5…though in…

Pretty inconsistent watch overall…Ritter, Colter and Tennant are pretty great throughout, but the Trish-Simpson and Hogarth subplots basically go nowhere (and in Simpson's case, makes little sense). And it's pretty clear that the writers only had enough material for about 9 episodes or so, but continued to stretch it…

It does show up in his work far more than I'd like. I hate that such a talented writer continues to go to that well.

I did, I quite liked The Courtyard. It's a little more subdued, as far as Lovecraft things go.
