Re: Comic Book Fans....
SpoilerI think one problem with Forever Evil is that Johns clearly has a love for the old JLA/JSA stories from the Silver Age when they did the Crisis on Two Earths stuff etc etc and while that's cool it becomes a bit too much nerd wankery when you throw EVERY element of those stories into a major crossover story that's supposed to have major ramifications vis a vis a member of the Bat Family. I dunno, I think the actual writing is good but I think someone should've told Johns to reign in some of the nods to past stories of these types.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Comic Book Fans....
Just read about half of Hawkeye #17 and could not stomach anymore... what a stupid story. An issue of a Christmas special cartoon?!? Regardless of the allegory it painted, I didn't need to read this book and felt like it was just a waste of paper. The creative team here has drawn out this Bro Gang story for far too long and is treading water by adding in the Kate Bishop stories. I don't think we'll get a Clint Barton Hawkeye issue until another 3 months!!!??? (unless the double-ship between 18-20)
Hawkeye 18-20 features Kate Bishop on the covers of each issue.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Re: Comic Book Fans....
So...JLA #13...By the end of the issue we learn...Spoilerthat everything we've been reading has been a lie. Martian Manhunter is alive and well and Stargirl has been inside the Firestorm prison this whole time...fighting in a mind matrix created by Despero. I feel like I've been cheated on this whole JLA run. It's really done nothing for FE, and since Trinity War has ended we've gotten nothing but a Stargirl and Manhunter story.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Not very satisfying at all. There was some VERY good character development that I was really buying into regardingSpoilerStar GirlSpoilerit's the equivalent of "sorry folks it was all a dream!". I feel like I bought into great development that means diddly squat now.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

BUMP
Anyone reading Batman Eternal? It's pretty damn awesome in my books. The whole thing started off with a bang and now it's just gearing up for some real dark and gritty stuff. Sure, a lot of the elements so far are things we've seen many times in Batman's history but seeing it all in a weekly format with some great talent at the helm is pretty unique.
SpoilerAlso, Stephanie Brown is back! Don't really like her attitude as portrayed at the moment but i'm sure her attitude will change.
The only knock on this is that the lynchpin for this entire series brings up the ugly problem of just what the hell is canon with Batman these days. I'm just going to enjoy the ride for now though and hope some things get clarified.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Marvel Announces the Death of Wolverine: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/...h-of-wolverine
The fact that Marvel have been planning to kill off Wolverine has been one of the worse-kept secrets in comics lately. Writer Paul Cornell already stripped Logan of his healing factor at the end of Wolverine Vol. 5. And with Cornell currently prepping a storyline called "Three Months to Die" for June, it seems the writing is on the wall.
And today via Entertainment Weekly, Marvel confirmed that Wolverine's days truly are numbered. True to its title, "Three Months to Die" will lead into a mini-series called The Death of Wolverine. This four-issue project will be written by the superhumanly prolific Charles Soule and illustrated by Steve McNiven (who previously tackled the Ol' Canucklehead in the Old Man Logan storyline). The Death of Wolverine will ship weekly throughout the month of September.
“For a long time, no matter who Wolverine was battling, he’s been the eternal victor,” editor Mike Marts told EW. “He almost always comes out on top. Now he finally comes up against an adversary that he cannot win against, he cannot fight. What does that mean for this character who’s been around for hundred years?”
Neither Marts nor Soule are being coy about the fact that The Death of Wolverine really will result in Wolverine's death. Marts said, “You’re gonna be entering into a world without Wolverine. That affects not only his teammates, but also the Marvel Universe at large. We’ve got a lot of things in the works already.” Meanwhile, Soule said, “I hope that when people finish it, they’ll feel like he died in a way that was true to him.”
Marvel will be revealing more about the project at their "Death of Wolverine" panel at C2E2 this Sunday afternoon. IGN Comics Editor Joshua Yehl will be on hand to cover that and other key announcements from the convention. Until then, let us know your thoughts on a Marvel Universe without Wolverine, and whether you think this development is a permanent one, by posting in the comments section below.Comment

Re: Comic Book Fans....
So over/under on resurrected by Spring?I don't see him staying dead very long and wouldn't be surprised if the Death of Wolverine leaves him actually alive and is more along the lines of how dead Wolverine was in Old Man Logan... a pacifist and no longer really active in the super hero community.
Bet his last words are something along the lines of 'im comin Jean'
Really hoping original sin is surprinsingly good, my expectations and enjoyment level with Marvel comics (which is all I typically read/buy) are so low that I even bought a DC book this week - interested in the new Doomsday arc.Comment

Re: Comic Book Fans....
With the way the whole death of Peter Parker was handled I say six is about what theyll do. Theres usually a big x-men event and I'm sure for sales theyre gonna want Logan a part of it.

Re: Comic Book Fans....
I don't read the news and such so I didn't know about the Death of Wolverine project but you could tell there was going to be something more to Wolvie just losing his healing powers. It'll be interesting to see how they pull it off. I happen to like the Wolverine character when he's written well.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Comic Book Fans....
yea with how that was handled I would be surprised if Logan is not resurrected in a matter of months.

Re: Comic Book Fans....
Yeah Killable was awesome but the current story arc is just not my cup of tea. I'm basically reading it to keep up with what's going on. Savage Wolverine was designed for creative teams to write stories out of continuity so I can see that title continuing without any effect.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
