AoA Nightcrawler (Darkholme) in Uncanny X-Force Teaser Image

I know the AoA version of Nightcrawler is cool and I like him but I still want Kurt Wagner back in the 616 world. That's why I started a petition to get him back. There is more than enough room in the MU for Darkholm and Wagner. Please help get Kurt Wagner back and sign the petition, it's quick and ...

The New 52: Stormwatch

Yeah. it just felt cluttered and chaotic. Looking at it again, i see there is subtlety and layers going on, but it all just gets kinda drowned out in the chaos. For instance, there are hints there that Apollo does have the same survivor's guilt, or something similar, that he had before, which i was ...

Well, the place was filled with insurgents, right? that's why Rock and co. were going in. That is actually right up Midnighter's alley, and it seems he's going to be the one calling the shots as far as his and Apollo's bastard-killing spree goes. I know none of it is canon for THIS Midnighter, but a...

While I was skeptical of I, Vampire as well, (was getting Twilight vibes from it) Gail Simone is just gushing about it on Twitter, she loved it, and says she's not a vampire fan and says it's not Twilight at all, so i am gonna give it a shot. and yes, I love the Dark and Edge lines.

I really liked this one too. it was so... grounded and real, and then you have this flying brick out of nowhere causing massive destruction, and you know you're in the DCU, and kinda seeing these supers through the regular guys eyes. Pretty interesting, I thought. edit - Another fun aspect of this t...

I thought this was really good! and yes, Massacre is FRIGHTENING. and that cliffhanger ending? geez! I HAVE to get the second issue now! to leave it like that borders on cruel.

But the real treat of this book? the ART. holy shit, this book is GORGEOUS. Absolutely beautiful.

This is basically the Superman I've always wanted to read about. He's got a personality that's actually INTERESTING, and he's (currently) at a power-level that I find more interesting than what he was at before the reboot. I am fine with flying bricks (though Supes doesn't fly yet, but still) but th...

Yes! there is absolutely no other character that COULD be in this story. Sure there have been characters that have come back from a greivous injury or even death before... but to spend 3 years in a wheelchair and the perspective that brings is something unique to Barbara. It's an interesting story f...

BTW. I forgot to mention this before. I thought the addition of 'Midnighter-vision' was interesting, but not sure if i quite like it. I don't think we've ever seen things 'through his eyes' before. But I never pictured his powers as involving a HUD, more of an organic simulation where he can visuali...

I will say this right off, because I know it is a thing with people. This issue does NOT ignore the elephant in the room, Barbara's time in a wheelchair is clearly referred to and does have an effect on her newly able-bodied life. Also referred to is The Killing Joke, which again, has a real effect ...

I think a whole lot of people these days wildly underestimate what kids can handle. But in any case, it was rated Teen, so kids shouldn't be reading it anyway.

When this opened with a wall of text (an interview in a magazine with the main character) I was a little worried, as it seemed like a big info-dump, but it actually worked pretty well, and was tied into the story nicely. Lemire has an excellent ear for dialogue, each character had a very distinct pe...

Ok, so I've read the new Stormwatch. Some spoilers follow. It was... okay. 'Let me explain my powers' dialogue has always been a huge pet peeve of mine, so that annoyed me, (Action Comics handled this brilliantly, SHOWING, not telling, and had a Stormwatch reference, possibly 2, which was cool.

I like what I hear about the Projectionist, it explains so much about how they stay secret, her presence alone makes the whole concept that much more plausible. I could also see her having big effects in the DCU, in terms of the anti-alien and anti-super sentiment we've been seeing in the new DCU. W...

Digital Comics -- Can They Make The Leap?

DC's selection is better, for the most part. If they begin to upload an old series, it will continue to be uploaded fairly regularly until it's done. And when they launched Justice League, they added a whole slew of comics relating to the New 52, the complete Resurrection Man series from the 90's (...

I like the concept... It's an updated take on the movie look, with a bit of his first Ultimate appearance thrown in. Nightcrawler is one of the characters that doesn't NEED a costume to be recognizable, why not go with it? And it may have in-game story reasons for being street clothes. He could be a...

I realize the sales will drop. What I am saying though is that this is a GOOD STARTING POINT. Better than anything we've had in a long time. New Avengers debut was only 129,084 about a year ago, and that was one of the biggest debut issues in the past couple years. This is potentially more than doub...
