She's busy. Too busy to come to the phone. She's trying to start a new life of her own. She's happy, so why don't you leave her alone?

I saw Pacific Rim on Friday and liked it so much it made me retroactively like other summer movies less than I previously had. There is no excuse at all for a monster movie with Ron Perlman and Charlie Day to be the most balls-to-the-wall monster-punching hero-fest in a summer that features a movie about Superman.

What about The Doctor? They've been putting off killing that guy for decades. GROW A PAIR, BBC!!!

@JokersNuts:disqus , I spent so much time in the old store that it was like a second home, so I never had trouble finding anything, but the new store's layout is a lot more straightforward, for what it's worth.

I swear I'm not trying to be belligerent or cause trouble or anything like that. I respect your opinion and your right to have it and all that stuff. You like what you like, I like what I like, and that's all well and good. To each their own.

@avclub-d4ab2732ed8ac6a4b2d9734cf4c851d2:disqus Oh, I've seen them. And I love them, especially being as big a Ted Kord fan as I am. But good looking preview art is just good looking preview art. It's not a comic yet.

Fair enough.

@avclub-61e626641b507015d1d403d2ecdd02fb:disqus , yeah, that's true. My beef with the New 52 comes from my longtime Booster Gold fandom, as Flashpoint/The New 52 is, from a certain point of view, the story of Booster Gold's utter failure in his post-52 mission of preserving the integrity of the timeline.

Are they even still doing exactly 52 regular titles? I read like three DC books…. well, two, now.

Good point. Out of curiosity, how much of of Morrison's run did you read before deciding it wasn't for you?

Well now THAT sounds like a jab at Chuck Dixon.

They've been talking about Multiversity forever, though. It's like the Chinese Democracy of comics. I'll believe it when I'm holding it in my hands.

I don't mean it should have necessarily been an Elseworlds story. They could have set it pre-Flashpoint even if it came out way after.

"I tried Layman's Detective"

It'll end eventually in the same way you describe post-Crisis changes ending- everything'll get rebooted again and certain elements will go away but certain elements will stay, and that's what the latest iteration of the DC Universe will be like. It'll go away, eventually, but it will never get wholly undone.

Well it appears that we disagree on a purely opinion-based matter. Thus, according to the laws of the Internet, we are now sworn enemies.

I just picked up the Animal Man Omnibus from my shop of choice. (JHU Comic Books, 32nd Street between Park and Madison in Manhattan- if you're buying comics in NYC and not shopping there, you are just doing it wrong.)

Battle for the Cowl would have been awesome if they'd gotten a real writer to do it. As it is, it's okay, but barely, and not really required reading.

… I liked the Annual.

I didn't love the finale, and agree that I would have liked it to stay in the Pre-New-52 continuity, but I liked it, and I feel sincerely… I don't know if "honored" is the right word but definitely "lucky" that I was able to follow Morrison's run from beginning to end as it was coming out. I feel like it will go down…
