I read it last night and loved it. Probably my favorite issue of the series yet.

For some reason, he has a little bit of a Cannonball feeling to me but I don't know why.
Dr. Manhattan was probably my favorite thing JMS has written in a long time. I liked his "two-roads dividing" approach to the story and was both experimental and true to the character. I thought it ended on a bit of a whimper but worked pretty well as a side story to the main narrative.
I really liked All New X-Factor as well mostly because it was a team line-up I liked better than past David X-Factors. Hopefully it will come back in some form or another very soon.
As a person who works with young people on a pretty regular basis, it's a sentiment I've heard communicated many times.
None of his comics are bad at all. They're just definitively not for me. Marvel 1602 is sort of the perfect example to me of a comic that never justifies why it exists and his Miracleman and Eternals book sort of suffer the same problem.
The sentiment Ms. Marvel was debunking certainly does exist. You might not be encountering it but it is definitely a feeling young people have and I think the speech artfully dealt with that issue. Much like Gen-X was once used as a derogatory phrase, millenial has sort of suffered the same issue and I think the…
I don't know about making Monet interesting but he did a lot with some really underappreciated characters.
It is much different from Bendis' blatant Magick ripoff *cough, cough, cough* I mean Eva Bell.
I admittedly didn't read much of it and kind of have a low tolerance for Neil Gaiman's comic work in general but I remember feeling just really let down. It's probably worth another try at some point though.
I have not read it but plan to pick it up at some point.
If there has ever been a comic that I was more let down by than Sandman, I don't know what it is. I think it was just overhyped to me but I just could not get into it.
I don't know if pigeonholed is the way I would describe her. I think DC has often used Simone to give a boost of legitimacy to some of their more dubious female characters and I think that was sort of the same plan both for Red Sonja and Tomb Raider. Really, she just mostly excells writing rougher, crueler characters…
Believe it or not, Morrison once wrote out exactly how they came up with Pyg's rants and I remember it being sufficiently nuts.
Most of it is still in print or available digitally. If you like those characters and that side of Gotham, I'd recommend it.
It is really, really, really good. It's one of my favorite Braniac stories and just happens to be in a tie-in comic to a TV show that has been off the air for more than a decade.
I think you're mostly right. The thing that Simone does best is dark, but not bleak humor. She has a real talent for blending gross-out violence with a touch of nihilism and lots of humor that usually works really well. A lot of that comes down to how well she usually writes ensemble book.
That's my favorite thing about her. There's never really a motive. She just wants to come in, ruin a good thing and then wander back into the night, drink in hand. That's my kind of character, Her interactions with the worn down, apathetic War at the beginning of Azzarello's run were all fantastic.
Secret Six is Simone's best work in my eyes. I liked her Birds of Prey as well.
He is and I think he did a good job usurping expectations while maintaining true to Moore's text. I liked the Silk Spectre issues as well but it was mostly for the art and is totally inessential.
