I have a hard time with either of them, especially Cohan, who simply can't convincingly play bad ass, and her dramatic moments are so strained, it's hard to watch.

Totally, Cutty is the shit, unfortunately these idiot writers don't have a clue what to do with him.

@avclub-71348decaf1df2bb85be2ece24cc2a1d:disqus Again, it is based upon writing style, in Bendis' case…yes, it is a valid criticism. In comparison to say, Hickman or Snyder, I absolutely feel like I got what I paid for (and the price is exactly the same) and am a satisfied consumer. In All New X-men, there's been so…

@avclub-28b1819668d7c62501acb9852cad10a9:disqus I'm curious, how do you possibly connect the dots between the two runs, they couldn't be more different (I say that as someone that thinks Morrison's run is far superior)

It is a valid criticism when you get so little story for the price, and said price repeats more than once per month on the same book. Glad they're cheaper for you now.

@avclub-001d507e80c4e4d2ce4ba0a5590f8313:disqus That was my favorite line in the entire issue, falls right into place with everything Snyder has been doing since Detective comics.

I just don't see it. I picked up a few copies of All New X-Men, and I felt like it was just more of Bendis' decompressed, wait for the trade storytelling. I enjoy how he writes dialogue, but I can't stand his plotting for the most part (his run on Daredevil somehow excepted). I appreciate the fact that Marvel is…

100% agree on the growing power of that Batman conclusion, that was the real Big Issue of this week.

Great, very subtle conclusion, I loved it after thinking about it extensively.

Did not dig as much as most, I thought it had a few cute moments but the humor of previous Halloween episodes just wasn't there, I thought the premiere was actually funnier…this just reminded me too much of some of the less laugh out loud episodes of Season 3.

@avclub-9f3362679d786df531bab7953d7ab610:disqus yep, I think Johns really only nailed it with Green Lantern (up to that point) and Superman, which is nothing to sneeze at, but his JSA stuff (and the Justice Society relaunch) was so bland. Booster Gold too, which I thought I enjoyed, but I tried to re-read it and found…

facing which way?

If you're at all interested ever, just pick up the Cooke + Conner volume that'll come out in the late Spring, it has all you really need. Both of their titles gave me great joy and almost sit alongside Watchmen on my bookshelf.

Yep, exact same place where I started to get tired of reading it. He really only had one big story to tell and he sorta just kept retelling it afterward.

@avclub-ba11e5f269e8f132321d3ac144289c97:disqus there's this part of me that hopes that's the reason why he hopped off LSH so quickly.

yeah, I'd say the lead up to Blackest Night was as good as a comic about Green Lantern had any right to be, that combined with his really undervalued Superman run was Johns at the height of his powers. Somehow around Blackest Night everything kinda collapsed. New 52 gave him a little renewed energy, but the moment…

With the right writer+artist combo, he'll be fine, people still clamor for some version of him in a possible Justice League movie…it just needs a little rejiggering is all. I'm going to continue to scream Matt Kindt and Keith Giffen till I'm proven wrong in a few weeks.

In related news, Geoff Johns is stepping down from Green Lantern as of issue 20.

I don't care for this show really at all, but when I got done slamming the shit out of last night's Walking Dead, my girlfriend told me that I just had to watch Girls. I'll say, I enjoyed it far more than any episode I've watched. Patrick Wilson carries the whole thing as Lena Dunham just doesn't have the chops, but…

Make that list by the way, I'd be delighted to read it.
