Wow, they really broke the mould on that character design, huh. So Fresh. So Innovative. He’s also boy who is ten and likes Pokémon? Astounding.

I’ll fight by your side instead.

(Does it have problems? Sure - it’s a bit long, and a bit meandering. But it is tonally so far and away superior to every depressed, maudlin bullshit DC film that came after it that in comparison it is flawless.)

Like most people, I only care because I’m eager for it to feature in Monster Factory.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of adding a succession of visually indistinguishable human JRPG characters to the roster? The appeal of Smash was how wild it is - scraping the bottom of the DragoHeroQuestChronicleAdventureSigil games is just... disappointing.

Oh, so you don’t... actually get to drive the taxi?

Well what’s the point, then?

Good parents don’t let their children grow up thinking forty straight minutes of non-stop exposition is a good way to write a movie.

Can I pilot one of the console rooms that doesn’t look like cramped garbage with terrible sightlines?

The fish-lipped guy from Torchwood?

I just jumped down here to say “why the heck not” when it comes to the Bugle or the Planet. Take a glance at the roster of comic book characters and then try and argue that it’s ‘the endurance of newspapers’ that’s the most outlandish thing in all of comics that requires suspension of disbelief. There’s a tendency to

Now playing

I mean add a few rock licks and that’s basically what Bobby Roode did.

No Man’s Land was what made me fall in love with the BAtman universe - Oracle gets to shine so bright there.

DC slowly erasing NML from continuity - as they slowly do with everything eventually, because the Big Two comics companies can never let stories evolve too far before they have to be trimmed back into tiny

That as may be - this comic, or at least this idea, is still very much dogshit.

Woof. I like the Plikett reviews and can’t disagree with this.

Oh I’m so glad comics’ most prominent disabled superhero was wiped from continuity in order to be brought back as a... “ robotic menace in the vein of Marvel’s Ultron.”

Because “evil robot” is so much less of an explored space for comic books than the old Oracle, who doesn’t even have an easily-referenced identical

I’m a bit baffled by the statement that he ‘coded’ the game in MS Paint.

I wasn’t aware you could code anything in MS Paint: that is, while I’m sure you could write and/or draw out any code you liked in an image, there wouldn’t be any way to get MSP to compile it.

It’s hard not to draw direct comparisons to 2012’s FTL: Faster Than Light, 1965's Dune.

I mean if you’re going to do Tyroc better do him whole hog or not at all.

Sigh. Whatever, DC - this is why I stopped reading Big 2 comics. Because nothing lasts or ends of mattering in any meaningful way.

Friends isn’t remotely the worst show ever created. (For my money that would be... oh gosh... Heil Honey I’m Home feels like a cliché answer... That 80s Show was singularly dreadful... hrmm, the criteria really depends on ‘bad’ as in ‘poor in quality’ or ‘offensive’...) but is absolutely a relentlessly mediocre show

By that logic every issue of LSH should be completely divorced from every other issue and there can be no ‘true’ LSH comic until the present of the DC comic universe catches up the the year 3000 whatever.
