Still just chugging away at Rebirth
Still just chugging away at Rebirth
Shade, Doom Patrol, and Cave Carson are excellent comics, but woof that Mother Panic is not. The art isn't fitting for the kind of story they're telling, and at this point I don't really see much justification for "edgy Batwoman". I had high hopes for Houser given how much people talk about Faith, but that book has…
I think only the Batgirl books are bad in the Batline, the rest range from interesting to pretty good. I'm enjoying Aquaman.
This is the most I've enjoyed DC in a decade. I'm not excited about this Watchmen thing, which continues to be the sword of Damocles hanging over Rebirth…but the individual runs have been such a blast.
I thought it was fine, and slightly less embarrassing than these Christmas episodes usually are (the brilliant and touching A Christmas Carol being the lone exception). But seeing articles like the one on VOX proclaiming this as some sign of Moffat running out of gas is silly, especially in light of how great Season 9…
So I'm not really into Star Wars other than mostly enjoying the films, but the Comixology sale on these comics is pretty good. What's worth investing in? I do like Jason Aaron a lot and Kieron Gillen mostly.
Been going back and reading some Silver Age Legion of Super-Heroes. It's both terrible and wonderful at the same time. It's amazing to watch these middle aged men try to figure out 60's teenager talk.
This is a completely different situation than replacing, say, Brandon Lee or Paul Walker in a film they signed up for and actually performed work on.
This is akin to the grandchildren of a famous author lending out his or her name to a sequel of a book they wrote, but the sequel was written by someone else entirely.
I…
I had the entirety of GOD OF THUNDER and the following THOR title. I fell off with MIGHTY THOR, not because I didn't like it, but I just got deluged in other books and my attention waned a bit too much. But now that I'm back on board the Aaron train, full-speed ahead, I really want to read it again. Probably in trade…
A line that never pops up in the movie.
You can get the permission of the estate, but the estate isn't the actor, and it's not the performance they would give…if they would have been involved at all. It's one thing to utilize their image for licensing, or pull out old recorded lines of dialogue they created themselves (like in the Richard Donner cut of of…
That usage of a CGI rendering of a long deceased actor is pretty morally reprehensible. I'd say it drags the whole film down, but really, between a painfully dull central cast (including maybe the most boring protagonist in franchise history), and awful fan service, this is a movie where such a ghoulish move is just…
2016 was a weird comics year for me, I basically dropped all Marvel except for The Vision (though I plan on catching back up on Jason Aaron's Thor at some point soon), and I really doubled-down on all things DC to give Rebirth a chance to really win me over after the flailings of New 52 and DC You. It worked…I'd say…
The thing is, if that Prometheus reveal sticks…or at least what they were intimating…then it's cheap as hell. Retroactive continuity to flesh out your villain is a pretty poor way to go. I very much hope it's a swerve.
Still working through Goodnight Punpun, one of the weirdest mangas I've ever read (I haven't read many tbh) but Asano is quite a singular talent. Beautiful artwork too!
Yeah, my reactions to anything in the Valiant relaunch have ranged from "meh" to "I really hated that", Harbinger being among the worst of the bunch not named Shadowman.
Supergirl is real enjoyable. We binged it over the holiday and had a great time.
Well, to put it in a less kind fashion, Brooks seems to be an actor of…limited range.
In defense of Mon-El over James, Benoist seems to actually have chemistry with Wood, which was frankly what doomed any of her romantic asides with Brooks.
The Flash #11 - Quickly turning into one of the most fun titles of Rebirth! Hope O'Dare returns!!
