Just in case you were wondering

I will be genuinely shocked if his compliance has nothing to do with Vaatu promising to bring the twins' mother back to life. (who most probably died in labour, hence his coldness towards them)

Do people actually believe that Miller invented gritty Batman?

@avclub-dc159a30f1e7fe7352b88109050f5512:disqus It is indeed but he will be in Amazing (I know) which will be its replacement.

Pretty sure Northstar is in Astonishing.

To add to those. All Star Western has been very good, Swamp Thing and Animal Man have been good (minus the Rot World thing), The Shade and Penguin, Pain & Prejudice were great (but I guess you could say mini's don't count)
The Flash and Batwoman have (and now had) great art but tell mediocre stories

I don't know how they ever convinced anybody that unified storytelling was ever their goal.

All this did was made me appreciate how great the setup for the Justice Lords was in "A Better World". Christ at this point I'd take serialised versions of the animated universe over what they're putting out right now in a heartbeat. Those that stand out from the unmitigated shittiness are still hampered by the…

Ehh the Starfire criticism only holds true for the first few issues. Beyond that the book and her characterisation in it isn't close to the worst the Nu 52 has to offer, though I guess that's still damning with faint praise. Either way at this point it would be unfair to describe what they've done with her in that…

@avclub-9711095ed7e7239da2e23af9247cbd0f:disqus Sometimes I wonder what people actually hear when they listen to rap.

There's a special place in hell reserved for those that attribute Nat King Cole classics to Bing Crosby.

No sensible human being in 2013 defines R&B according to what gets played on the radio.

Hey, some of the greatest feats of human endeavour were inspired by crack.

Young Justice wasn't bad, but in terms of writing, characterisation and plotting it pales in comparison to Justice League.

Yet to my mind it's better than almost every episode of Young Justice.

Another shot at Routh playing Reeves playing Superman? I think a lot of you are so enamoured with the Donner movies (Which were all flawed in ways that rival Man of Steel) that you're unwilling to give anything that deviates from that a chance.

Yup because the plotting and motvations of Zod in both movies are exactly the same. I wouldn't mind people using the Donner movies as a stick to beat this new one if their complaints actually made sense.

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus Really should occur to you that a win is relative to what's at stake. If somebody is trying to kill every human on the planet and you stop them, that is victory even despite loss of life.

It's definitely a great comic book, but it's not a great Wonder Woman book.
