The fact that a comic can actually turn my stomach to the point where I want to put it down (seeing someone lose their genitals will do that) but lose my patience waiting on the next issue says something amazing about the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-77882933667883147162008-08-10T02:54:00.000-04:002008-08-10T02:54:00.000-04:00I'm with you on enthusiasm regarding the Big Two's...I'm with you on enthusiasm regarding the Big Two's events. <I>Final Crisis</I> just keeps getting me more jacked up and wanting more, while <I>Secret Invasion</I> plods along and will probably conclude at some point, I assume. I'm enjoying the main series, but the endless parade of "Watch as Skrulls replace THIS person" issues are growing tedious for me. And I'm really considering not buying Fraction's Thor mini-series on principle alone. What principle I don't know, but it sounds good.<BR/><BR/>And always trust me when it comes to what to read. I'll consider getting you to try <I>Young Liars</I> again as payback for you getting me hooked on <I>Scalped</I>.Chad Nevetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785622045733202883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-53865706991116764692008-08-10T02:26:00.000-04:002008-08-10T02:26:00.000-04:00I have a problem with the word "boring" used as an...I have a problem with the word "boring" used as an aesthetic judgment.

I thought I'd give it a chance because some of Busiek's ideas sounded neat, but he's taking the most boring approaches possible. he's even using the Crime Syndicate from his own damn run instead of the fresh new one introduced at the end of 52! And it really doesn't help that it's a super decompressed series, just because it's weekly doesn't justify the slow pacing. Sure I get a new installment every week, but I'm shelling out 3 bucks for it every time so you bet I want a goddamn story and not a fraction of one because Busiek can't actually keep a decent plot going for a whole year! I almost dropped it at 6, somewhat liked 7 and was dissappointed ever since and have dropped it after 9.

It's exciting and sort of frustrating. The new wife going to the comic store for me to get my saver so I could read it in the hospital was awesome, though. I LOVED the new Final Crisis. It really showed the difference in the heroes' thinking andthe bad guys - the good guys were using an WW2 strategy, and the bad guys went online. The heroes lost before they started because their old ways of thinking are so outdated.Matt Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780688232878059439noreply@blogger.com
