    Re: Comic Book Fans....

    Batman was fantastic. Even better than Detective Comics.

    Also got Supergirl. She just kinda kicked everyone's *** so it wasn't particularly intresting. Not that it was bad or anything. Probably should've read that first. Seemed to be the only one that actually kept her clothes on this week and didn't cause an incident.

      Yeah surprising considering her new outfit.

      Speaking of keeping clothes on (or not) Judd Winnick has revved up the "sexy" quotient on Catwoman. Sheesh, if I were reading the physical copy of that issue on a bus or something i'd be slightly embarrassed!

        After what Brubaker and Co. did with the last Catwoman run its different seeing a Selina that doesn't have the responsibilities and reservations about doing what she does. A Different take, but not necessarily bad, and yet still Catwoman. A few places have issues with the art, but seem to ignore the writing of the issue which should matter.


        Got Batman 1 to read tonight and i'm expecting that one to be good.

          The new outfit is less revealing I think.

          Yes was refering to Catwoman and Starfire. Though based on the free preview Wonder Woman too.

            What 52 reboots do you guys recommend? I definitely want to pick up Batman 1, but was thinking about Action Comics 1 and maybe one or two more.

            Also, where do you guys get yours from? I'd like a physical copy of at least Batman just to have. Are there are places that mail them?

              Personally, I go and buy mine from a little ma and pop comic shop in the area. Sweet little old lady talks comics with me and I get to support a local business. Never really dealt with online comic buying unless I'm having trouble tracking one down.

                  Good read and it is right in a lot of ways I think.


                  And a funny "reaction" post to Starfire here.

                      Swamp Thing and Animal Man have good reviews everywhere.

                          I went to B&N and they had most of them there. Didnt have Batman which is what I wanted.
                          Don't you EVER read my blog? It's gotten a lot better.

                            I read that and agree with it for the most part. Though I don't mind what they've done with Selina for the most part (I do have issues with her overall ineptitude/impulsiveness they're going with), after going from what Brubaker and the other writers did for Catwoman on the previous one this reboot does come off a tad shallow and pandering. Now I'm going to continue with it because I love the Catwoman character and possibly the cheese factor will get toned down.

                            Now what makes it hilarious is the sheer arrogance of the writer of Catwoman justifying why he ended the comic with bat and cat ****ing.

                            BTW I TOTALLY HATE what was done to Starfire, and don't really have an opinion yet on Harley in Suicide Squad, though I am interested with what's going on in that comic. I'm hoping they go really dark and uber violent for that one

                            Edit: to add the colorist on the Red Hood book put up a panel of starfires "original" bikini. Needless to say the uproar would have been worse. It was semi transparent. LOL.

                              BTW yeah the whole Starfire as slut thing came off REALLY bad to me especially considering how she had strong romantic relationships back in the day in Teen Titans I believe.
