Bloodshot is one that I really wasn't expecting to like (mostly because of that absurdly 90s title), but the first few issues have me pretty interested.  My favorites are probably Harbinger for the interesting cast of sympathetic yet deeply messed up characters and X-O Manowar.  The pacing on X-O Manowar is kind of…

I just took advantage of the pre-Unity comiXology sale to get every single book of the Valiant relaunch up to a couple months ago for cheap, so now I feel like I'm pretty set for new superhero comics for a while.  I'm really enjoying the steady building of the new Valiant universe, and even the series that I didn't…

Be careful.  Once the Sleepy Hollow fandom becomes a thing, they might take statements like that as a challenge.

Yeah, that 90s Superboy costume needs a belt and a leather jacket.

Apparently the setup for that page is Harley getting annoyed with her writers for putting her in increasingly absurd and dangerous situations.  People reading it without the script and misinterpreting it as suicide seems to just be bad luck for DC, though they probably should have spent more time thinking about how…

@avclub-945ba977c27d196cdeaf6cbe4ff682f4:disqus Oddly enough, I kind of have the opposite opinion.  I found it to be decent but not all that wonderful on its own merits, but I think it hit at just the right time in the story arc.  Up to that point Sheridan was pretty rapidly cruising towards his inevitable victory…

And the rest of them too!

@avclub-b54d138b13c97bbd565796787ff23531:disqus Cool.  That sounds like good news.  Thanks for letting me know.

If it wasn't working out for him then that certainly makes sense.  I really enjoyed the issues I've read of his FF though.  I'm hoping the quality on that one doesn't drop too badly, since I'll probably still be interested in it for the characters and the Allred art.

@avclub-b54d138b13c97bbd565796787ff23531:disqus Did Astonishing get uncancelled?  I must not be current on my comics news.

And since his title got cancelled, there's a good chance that he won't be in any comics at all for several years, especially since Quicksilver seems to be getting the most movie buzz out of any of Marvel's speedsters.  Going into unused-character-limbo probably gives him the most marital stability of any character in…

I know the story is probably actually terrible, but the more stuff you say about the gorilla the more it sounds like the greatest thing ever.

I really don't understand Inhumanity at all.  Everything about it sounds exactly like Marvel's mutants, and I don't really get the point of having Inhumanity in a fictional universe where mutants already exist.  Also, Fraction leaving Fantastic Four to go work on an Inhuman series seems kind of like leaving Superman…

The big two really need to get over their hang-ups with married heroes.  Between One More Day and DC driving off their most talented artist, this whole anti-marriage campaign seems to be really toxic.  Reed Richards and Susan Storm are really lucky they got their marriage locked in so early.

Sheridan is seriously the worst at time travel logic.  "What if your warning caused me to one thing, even though it's actually causing me to do the exact opposite of that?"  It sure didn't take much time travel to get him to convolute his head up his own ass. 

I initially read The Fall Guy as The Fall ( http://www.avclub.com/artic… ), and I was equal parts confused and intrigued by the rest of the headline.

I'd say that Escape from Butcher Bay is significantly better than either movie, and is easily one of the best movie-licensed games ever.  I say that as someone who found Pitch Black to be fairly enjoyable.

I can see how I typed that in a way that would be difficult to parse.  I meant that it's his love letter to "rape in comics," in the sense that he really, really likes filling his comics with rape.

Given that League of Extraodinary Gentlemen is pretty much Alan Moore's love letter to rape in comics, I can't imagine that the show will depict the books very accurately.  Most comics Alan Moore does are pretty rapey, but League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has enough rape to fill twenty Identity Crises. 

(Some Spoilers) The defeat of the Shadow vessel in this episode is the start of a pretty drastic decline in the menacing quality of Shadow ships.  I think that the Shadow vessels get their asses kicked literally every single time they show up on screen this season.
