"198 mutants left and you have to be one of them…"

I've read arguments that Forever Evil is meant to be high camp but I genuinely don't think Geoff Johns thought that far past his Hot Topic style reading of how Earth-3 should work.

I've been a big defender of Venditti's run, mostly because it was hearkening back to the pre-Johns stuff that I prefer. There's been iffy parts of it but on the whole, I ended up liking his work a lot.

That story is "Pancakes."

Spider-Man versus really heavy thing is always good. It's what fuels my favorite Spidey story, "Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut!"

I liked Bunn's Sinestro run a lot too. I wish that final issue answered more questions (Why did the Red Lanterns bring back Atrocitus? How far ahead was Sinestro planning this endgame? Why don't we really get any resolution to Lyssa Drak's prophecy?) but I think a lot of it is setting up what's going to be going on…

DC definitely seems to be trying to make comics that are more approachable to younger readers but they're more hitting those early teen readers than kids really. It's why I wish their Teen Titans runs could actually be, y'know, for kids instead of like 19 year-olds.

I'm big or those "Brothers across the battlefield moments." Y'know, two men or women on opposite sides of a conflict, connected by more than they want to recognize. The final fist fight between Jesse and Cassidy in Preacher, Storm Shadow watching Snake Eyes escape him again in GI Joe #21, all of Hitman's For Tomorrow…

I think the X-Factor Investigations runs stands up a lot better as a whole than David's original run. It's just more complete and character focused while the original run spends an awful lot of time cooling down and setting up after crossovers where important things are happening, y'know, somewhere else.

Both valid options.

Reruns of it played constantly on Comedy Central when I was in high school and I spent many summers watching it for lack of a better option. If anything, it's a proving ground for some enormously talented comedians and actors.

Johns' Green Lantern is the best comic that has absolutely no reason to exist.

The Purge is separated into a bunch of little miniseries and one-shots but they're all worth reading. John Ostrander wrote several of them.

I quit reading at the end of Remender's run so I think that was the case but, honestly, I can't really remember.

I totally disagree. I think it makes Vader singleminded, which he is by the end of Return of the Jedi. He's questioning his role and his loyalties and I think Gillen's run on Vader accentuates that. It casts Vader as a guy with unlimited power utterly stripped of his agency and it makes me buy his focus on trying to…

Vader Down was great, if just for that first issue where he just wipes everyone out. Fantastic stuff.

It's the best bit of that run.

THAT PUSSY IS RIOTING!

Young Justice would be pretty high up there for me too. So would Thor: The Mighty Avenger and Peter David's second X-Factor run.

I am crushed. Darth Vader was my favorite of the Star Wars line and while I get that it seemed like they were pushing towards an ending, I could have seen that book going on for another 25 or 30 issues.
