You have a solid fair outlook on this stuff, and coming from a very burned-out old fanboy, I can appreciate that. ;)

Oh man. I wish I didn't know that. That's…..awful. What's the point of rebooting everything if you're not going to have the balls to reboot ANYthing?

Well, art appreciation is a subjective thing. I don't see a very strong style here. But then like I've said before, it's not being geared towards me. Then again, I don't like traditional anime styles, J Scott Campbell, or Ed McGuinness either. I think the more cartoony it looks, the more put off I am by it. I was…

Absolutely right, very good points. Since 2005 I've enjoyed things like IRREDEEMABLE, which is superhero but not in the traditional sense (I still haven't finished it yet, though….only read up to #25….need to get more trades). I think I tend to allocate "superhero" to strictly MARVEL and DC because they were the only…

Fair enough. I think my use of the word pandering is probably not accurate for the feeling I am trying to convey. I withdraw that assessment. :)

LOL! Well, it's a terrible shame you are being forced to read every word I write. I can see where that's a great and personally insulting burden on you. I can't imagine how you deal with opposing opinions in real life. Anxiety meds? ;)

Because the point has been "justified" multiple times now. Obviously just not to your standards of approval. The reasons are pretty clear and obvious. I am sorry you don't like what's being explained. You don't have to like it any more than anyone has to justify their views on it. Facts of life, man.

??? I like how you follow me through multiple comments to ask me to explain my points of view and why I like or don't like things. And then when I explain it as clearly as possible, you suddenly seem to get offended. No offense was intended, Jordo. I don't know why you are suddenly getting worked up. Was it when I…

Excellent. I will let people know Avatar doesn't mind handing out free advertising for whatever people want to shill. Like I said, it's a good thing you're so honest about your intentions and it's not an attempt to draw traffic from other sites so that you can get clicks…. ;)

Whoa, really? Lone Wolf & Cub / Nomad from the 80s style? Interesting.

Of course you "don't see". No amount of explaining would help, as you have already decided your opinion is paramount. You're not interested in hearing a different vantage point. You're interested in defending your comic book. Enjoy your book. But don't look for some people to take it/you seriously over it. ;)

Kind of like how you are expecting people like me to justify their opinions to you so that it's "acceptable" in your eyes for us to feel differently than you? LOL!

Of course you don't understand. You're not actually reading entire conversations and are choosing to take excerpts from my statements out of context in order to support your enjoyment of the book previewed and to try and deny my own opinion on the subject.

Then, like I said, you didn't take the sentence into the context of how it was presented. He/She's saying that generic, mundane acts of human existence is not what most people look for in superhero comic books. Why waste money on something you can see by waiting in line at Starbucks?

Yes, well I know when I pay $5 for a comic book, I am hoping to see Dick Grayson stand in line at the DMV, or buy toilet paper at Wal-Mart. Because that's certainly what makes him "relatable" and "human". And if you think I have any problem with non-dark comics, then you've missed all the rest of my comments. Has…

Agreed. I honestly imagine that if this was just a new character, it wouldn't really stand out either way. But since this one has a respected history showcasing a truly empowered, awesome female character and reduce her to just another insignificant teenage-pandering soap opera, it tends to lend itself to overt…

Way to parse a sentence in hopes of making a point. How about "generic"? "Mundane"? "Boring"?

Then we should let everyone know it's okay to come over to your site and advertise their products! Especially if it's spectacularly-beloved by your personal local comic shop!

REPLAY

Don't worry….in the brief ten years Bruce has been Batman now, he's had at least four Robins, training Dick Grayson alone for ten—……years………hmmm……..wait….
