I mean a good chunk of comic fandom have never been exactly great with real criticism, it's kinda amazing how often you see comics being recommend entirely on the basis of how "brutal/violent/whatever" they are rather than anything approaching actual worth.

I mean you can, you can judge anything on it's own merit. An issue long fight scene isn't exactly new ground, it's taking a work that moved past the two dimensional nature of a whole swathe of cape comics in an attempt to do something new and using it for a 28 page long fist fight.
His Authority run's about the only post Ellis one I have any time for, I think it's telling that after that most other creative teams do a riff on one or the other.
Texture, all good soup needs it.
Huck almost felt like that, obviously it was a Miller solo but it started off being this sort of quite Morrison tribute before exploding into Miller's very pronounced fear of communism.
Miller/Morrison stuff is always an odd experience, take a shot any time Mark's clearly in the driving seat.
The turd in the decentish soup.

It's giving me a few Bloodlines vibes, but we might get a book on the level of Hitman if that's the case. As it stands though nothing from the line is jumping out at me in the same way the Young Animal Titles or the concept of just letting Warren Ellis be Warren Ellis has.
It's an interquel between the first book and Bloody Red Baron, seems like it's building up to Dracula's ousting from Britain. I'm hoping for some Man from The Diogenes Club comics to be honest.
Pax America was the last word I needed to hear about Watchmen from DC and almost certainly played a big part in this bullshit, Maybe they could bring Tomasi on to do another shitty follow up to a better Morrison comic.
The Wild Storm #3 - Nice visual sequence with the new Jenny, though the implication that Chris Ware writes a Commander Steel book on this earth is horrifying. I'm enjoying the generally slow and melancholy feel to this book. On board for the long run with this one.
I'll say this for the Button Part 1, really makes you appreciate how much story Moore and Gibbons packed into a single issue of Watchmen, using that grid layout for what amounts to an issue long fist fight is the funniest thing DCs done in a while.
Kobek also made Steve a NeverNude.
I mean you can count the good non Kirby New God stories on one hand so that's not the best example, fuck it's a pretty great example of a deeply personal work by a creator being reduced to generic cape, tights and fist-fight fare.
It comes across as more he doesn't give a shit about the big two and that's fine, I doubt Moore would come across as so much of a curmudgeon if people didn't keep asking him the same questions
I'm looking forward to the barrage of claims that Alan Moore hates comics because he isn't singing the praise of The Flash meets Rorschach: Integrity Crisis.
It's bad, like worse than Season 1 Torchwood bad.
What a bland season of TV, Torchwood wasn't much better but at least it had a few memorable characters this just came across as a generic BBC Three pitch that had Capaldi slapped onto it for a tiny ratings boost.
