The Comics Thread

I realise how harsh this sounds but, in terms of comics, he's been shite ever since his son died.

He's generally blamed for replacing Nova with the character Sam Alexander who seems to be widely hated.

A character created by Loeb conveniently with the same name as his dead son. Didn't he do something similar with a character in Superman as well?

[Pedz]

When I think of Loeb I think Batman/Superman/Justice League animated shows.

[Memento Mori]

Yeah but I can't really feel too outraged by that.

When I think of Loeb I think Batman/Superman/Justice League animated shows.

He had nothing to do with those, that was Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.

[Pedz]

Ah yeah, Bruce Timm is who I was thinkin by of.

[HM]

He was responsible for cancelling the acclaimed The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon because he didn't like its long story arcs. Plus he wanted a new Avengers show to tie into the awful Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.

This is what I can never forgive him for.

Just noticed Spawn is on the cover for She-Hulk #5



Why can't the interior art be as good as the covers?

BLACK WIDOW and PUNISHER Crossing Over in August

Predictable/10. Would not be surprised if this is the first issue of BW Noto doesn't do the interiors, so they need a new "hook" for the series.

Marvel Announces SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN's August Return

we’ll be seeing Superior Spider-Man #32-33 in August and September of 2014.

Dan Slott, Christos Gage, Giuseppe Camuncoli (#32) and Adam Kubert (#33) will weave the web of a two issue story that tells where (and when) Otto as Spider-Man went when he vanished in “a flash of temporal energy” in Superior Spider-Man #19,

So it's just two extra issues to milk it. And even written by Gage.



I take it the actual new proper superior series will start after Spider-Verse, will probs be one of the main marvel books in the next marvel NOW "wave" sometime sept/oct.

Unforgiveable.
Best superhero cartoon since Batman TAS. and the 90's Spider Man.

Almost as bad is whoever made the decision to replace the awesome theme tune from Season 1 with Nick Fury doing a stupid voiceover.

I've been watching Batman: TAS on Netflix and wow Bruce Wayne is such an utter geek in it

It's amazing how different he becomes in Justice League.

[Memento Mori]

Is Justice League set after the Joker flashback in Return of the Joker?

How so? It's been a while since I've watched it.

For example in the first episode he blushes and gets all flustered when Catwoman flirts with him. Starts blabbering like some shy child

Avengers #29 and New Avengers #18.

Holy gooseberry fool

All New X-Men #27

Is Justice League set after the Joker flashback in Return of the Joker?

Given that Joker is in Justice League, it'd be pretty hard for his flashback to be set before it

Paul Levitz Walks Off Earth 2 Weekly?

Greg Rucka left Futures End before it was announced. John Layman left Batman Eternal before the first issue was published. It seems that you can’t have a DC Comics weekly book without a writer striking off before its published. Almost like its a tradition of sorts.

Well, it’s one that may be being kept up on the upcoming Earth 2 weekly title, World’s End. I understand from two DC sources that, after editorial disagreements, Paul Levitz, the previous publisher and president of DC Comics, has walked off the book. I have not heard if this will affect his work on Worlds Finest which features two characters from Earth 2 at all.

Paul Levitz did not respond to enquiries made by Bleeding Cool.

As I say I haven't watched the cartoons for a while.

Just saw this Q&A on Bendis' Tumblr:

Anonymous asked: You once said that "Daredevil end of Days" was the canon future of Daredevil. Given all the contradictions it has with the Daredevil 50th anniversary and with the current MU, does that still hold true? Especially since there are so many future stories that labeling a Daredevil one as canon seems arbitrary.

The problem is your question is not in continuity so it doesn’t count

strawberry float off you sniveling banana split.

I started reading Snyders Batman last night...it's just awesome the whole look and feel of it is top notch.

Weird Love is pretty neato, I like the idea of collecting some of the more bizarre stories from comic history

Whilst I'm at is bi-monthly twice a month or every two months for comics? I'm assuming the latter but I'm hardly certain
