Mixed feelings but I think it's a decent set-up for a solid sequel or two. Didn't love it but it's worth noting that the only Superman movie I've ever truly loved starred Richard Pryor as a computer hacker.

Also worth noting: I got to see it early Thursday morning at a DC Comics screening thanks to my MAD affiliation (or perhaps a clerical error). Woop!

At home, the kitchen floor already done got fucked up by sliding the fridge around. It's fine though b/c the last of the thresholds still isn't in yet, so after they're all in and I stain & topcoat those I can just sand the damaged spots and put another coat of poly over the whole thing to mask the damage.

And... spent most of Saturday building another nesting box for the chicken coop. Looks like 3 more birds will be coming our way soon - a family we know bought them this spring but it somehow never occurred to them that their condo association might not allow chickens.

I'm not a Superman fan at all but I enjoyed everything about this and can't wait to see where Synder is going with it.

I know everyone's favorite thing to do is Internet dog pile on DC, and even though I don't agree with everything they're doing you'd have to be a fool to say that everything sucks. There are plenty of titles that are great and this is one of them and I hope it continues.

Only thing I didn't like is that giant fold up inside

Another one pilfered from the library's YA stack, and enjoyed greatly.

Basic premise is following a girl on Stage Crew through her 7th grade year. It's charming. ONly complaint is I wish it were set in a high school - I don't know how kids that age are today but kids making out and coming out in 7th and 8th grade... just seems a little more high school to me. (of course, I was a late bloomer with girls, even though I didn't read comics back then).

Was grabbing some random manga the other day and came across this series about 2 high school friends aspiring to be professional manga creators. Now I love comics about making comics, as rare as those are, and this one really goes in. Some of my favorite scenes are when the kids go up to the Shonen Jump editorial offices (making it very meta and very grounded at the same time) and learn new insights about the manga industry and art in general. It's a pretty different system over there and one I'm finding incredibly fascinating.

It's one of the more slice-of-life things I've read in terms of manga, but it's fun how they bring that same level of excitement and dynamism to even their talking heads scenes. Crazy angles and facial expressions, flop sweat and speed lines over seemingly innocuous occurrences. At one point one of the characters accidentally makes his girlfriend cry, and there's an intense zoom in on the tears welling up in her eyes with a *PLUB PLUB* sound effect. Turn down for who, indeed.

Turns out it's done by the same guys who did Death Note, which I really dug in the beginning but kinda went off the rails in the end. So I'm giving in a tentative recommendation just based on the volume I read... And there's only 20 which is relatively manageable for manga.

...it really is like rulers of different lands coming together to work on common problems...the way they spoke to, and dismissed Doom was hilarious to me, cause it's how arrogant rulers act...they dismiss Doom because to give him any information is to give him too much information...he'll probably find out on his own , the boys already know this, but they figure that it'll be later on, which it will..he can't be involved in what they're doing...

...i'm just trying to figure out how they resolve the problems between Wakanda and Namor....and i'm a lil surprised BP never really did anything to Doom after what he pulled with Wakanda....in fact, this brings to mind my only issue right now with the book, why do they need BP at all?? is he just providing the location and another wise voice??

They're trying to evolve mutants into the dominant race.

If humans and mutants go to war, mutants are probably gonna win that shit.

So how do we stoke the flames of that war?

Bring back a sociopathic mutant murderer and set him loose.

Bring back an esteemed mutant hero and let him flay some flatscans, to show that there are no "good" mutants.

Bring back a villain that a mutant Avenger just murdered in broad daylight. This one's like a big neon marquee saying "REMEMBER HOW ROGUE KILLED THAT GUY AND YOU ALL SAW THAT SHIT?"

And then there's Bob. Oh, Bob. Poster boy for powers-run-amok, this dude leveled Asgard and tore an honest-to-goodness God in half with his bare hands. If he's running with the mutants now, then it's oh-shit time. (Also, on power level alone, you'd want this guy on any team.)

And that's before you get into the complicated personal relationships that each of these zombies have with the Uncanny Avengers. The horseman are perfectly picked to divide the Uncanny Avengers right down the middle (which was addressed plainly, before the team even knows who the horsemen are).

Hey Rogue, there's your old friend Sean, and that guy you just killed, and hey, there's the dude that took your virginitoh god that one-shot was terrible. Wolverine? You and Banshee were founding members of the All-New X-Men, you go back forever. Also, there's your son. You know, the one you murdered. I'm sure you'll handle this reasonably. Probably won't buck at Cap at all.

Remender good, ya'll.

>Hey Rogue, there's your old friend Sean, and that guy you just
>killed, and hey, there's the dude that took your virginitoh
>god that one-shot was terrible.

who is the one that slept with Rogue?

....btw, i TOTALLY agree with Wasp's assessment of "the mutant problem"...i always thought the persecution of mutants was a ridiculous storyline in any era....it never made sense to me...

...i also agree with Wanda in that, mutants really don't care that many commonalities other than the fact they're born with powers....it's not really a bonding point to me...

Yeah, Wasp and Havok have been spitting some real in this book. They're both going about it like assholes, but still. You can tell this book is written by a guy who has spent a LOT of time thinking about applying real-world logic and human emotion to some fantasy shit (that sounds dismissive, but I'm actually impressed).

nobody saw it? I think I even posted it here

This issue punched me in the gut at the end. Cap gets beat up so much in this he's not even recognizable at this point. How is he even alive?

This entire arc has been great. I might even put Remender above Hickman at this point. His explanations of Caps actions has me kinda agreeing with the bad guys. They make a valid point. At the end something happens that isn't physical at all to Cap but feels worse than anything physically done to him throughout this book.

Remender tells the fuck out of a story! Had to go hug my own kid after this grimy book.

I don't hear a lot of chatter about it, half the time I don't even see it all that prominently featured on Comixology, so I'm never 100% clear on when it comes out. I love the Kirby-Craziness of it, and JRJR is killing it. The story teeters on the brink of fictional sadism like a lot of Remender's stuff does, but it's fine in small doses.

>This entire arc has been great. I might even put Remender
>above Hickman at this point.

I think I would, too. It's not an apples to apples debate exactly, they each have their own lane in terms of what kinds of stories they tell and how they tell them. But lately I'm finding Remendogg's stuff to be more satisfactory across the board. Not that Manhattan Projects isn't amazing.

Bad editorial decisions
LAME titles - Teen trillionaries? Is this 1993 all over again? (JLA's Vibe? Katana?)
Their talent is mediocre to bad
WTF month

I'm probably forgetting some things but you just can't trust what will happen to a title you like. And it will likely get forced into some overblown crossover or change talent after a few issues and so on.

Meanwhile, Marvel and Image and Dark Horse stay winning so I'm going to give my money to the publisher doing it right.

Even titles like Batman got very stale to me.

Don't get me wrong i feel DC has a lot to fix and Marvel is doing some fantastic things.

Right now I only read the DC titles that I REALLY enjoy
All these stupid crossovers I only stick with the main title I'm reading and that's it. Saves me from being frustrated.

I'll say this. The ones that I am reading I'm truly enjoying them, the few.

Maybe I'm forgetting one or two but I'm really enjoying the ones I've listed above. Notice it's not a lot of titles at all but they're the ones I'm into. When I'm not into em anymore I'll drop them just like I would any other publisher.

And I think DC is shit now, but I'm not about to drop some shit I'm enjoying just because they make stupid decisions. I'll drop em when that particular title gets stupid. Just like I would any Marvel book.

DC is in last place for me though

I was dropping titles left and right. I still read Inc because of the god exception.

But, can I trust Larfleeze would even be good? Should I give DC the benefit of the doubt for ANY reason?

I'd much rather pick up a BPRD or even Regular Show comic that will support a smaller publisher trying new things.

I dropped a lot of their stuff

Honestly you could check it out for free *wink wink* and if you like it you can continue.

I'm digging Snyders stuff because I trust him and support his work. He hasn't let me down. Now I'm not likely to try DC stuff with people I don't know or I'm not familiar with their work.

Now Marvel I have way more trust in their writers. I'm reading books now that I never thought I'd like and they've been hits. Image has been on the stride for quite awhile now.

If it is a DC book you're interested in just check it out. If it becomes crap then let it go.

he was their golden boy for years.

as for batman, zero year started out very strong. i'd agree snyder's run has been patchy

but speaking of whom, his vertigo series has had the biggest impact they've had in years.

as for the homophobe thing?

they canned the story.

and, yes, they've been shitty to their creators but if you really think that marvel is much better, i've got a bridge in gotham to sell you.
