Oh awesome, I've been liking Justice League less and less and was really hoping they'd give me a concrete reason to stop buying it. A Fanfiction style out-of-nowhere power-based pairing certainly fits the bill.

This is the talkback thread for "The Adventures of Tintin": More Tin Than Gold. To be fair, it seems like the sequel - if there is a sequel - will be almost entirely based on one story, so maybe it'll come out better.

*Yawn* Oh, you silly little people and your silly lit- F...Fountain? Hmmmm.....

Wait. Wait a moment. You think....that I am british? Pardon me for a moment: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HA. No, you are quite mistaken as to my nationality. However, I -do- happen to hate the French with a passion, so the tension between us is understandable.

Take the piece of land upwards of my South American regions.

Oh, didn't notice that. We accept your offer, Juan.

*In a bored tone* We regret the collapse of diplomacy, Van Cleer. Destroy them, please, men.

*sipping tea* *realizes the time* GAH! Take...some land. Just...the biggest available piece.

What a pity. Perhaps Mr. Jaun would like to bargain with us for the island?

Hm. Well met, Van Cleer. It is an honor indeed. Send the boats to Jamaica.

I've completely missed that this was happening, but I'M HERE NOW : D Nation: Ravenantis Leader: Captain Emperor Raven Specialization: Cannoneer Starting Country: The bit connecting central and South America Color: Grey Well, well! Some diving bells wish to go up against the forces of...

How....completely ugly, lifeless and generic : | I admit, I'm slightly against the idea to begin with, but that's an especially awful promo image. I especially hate the amped up fanservice and dull stare on Spectre. Rorschach looks OK I guess...

Wolverine & the X-Men, undoubtedly. A great mix of humor and drama, so far it’s been almost completely kid-friendly, there are a few ties with other X-books but nothing that makes it difficult to understand, and both of the artists are brilliant.

Because if I took a random picture of Superman and called him Super-Reagan, it wouldn't make any sense? Some people seem to be trying to say the ad is anti-Japanese, but I don’t really see that, whether the “Buy American” thing is tongue-in-cheek (it probably is) or not. Also: a used-like-new...

...man I'm not the guy who usually says this, but "Robama" really is a bit racist. Other than that, I would actually enjoy the ad if DC was at the top of it's game and in a neck-to-neck race for domination with the manga industry. As it stands, it's pretty sad.

Used some of my Christmas money to do some catching up, and to try out a few new books. Batman & Robin # 1: This issu has one of the most awkward introductions I've ever seen. I do like the idea of Batman not being quite so haunted by the deaths of his parents, but if you want to do that, just...

Regarding Riot's Hope, I liked that they were trying to show a softer side to Riot, but I just thought they went too far to one extreme. Riot is just a conceptually silly character: (Exhibit A:) ...so giving him a pathos-heavy backstory is I think a basically flawed idea. None of the traits...

THAT IS NOT WHAT KIMBER SAID, PETER! YOU ARE CHANGING THE DIALOGUE FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES! And, and besides, there was a reason for them to be worried about clothes and stuff right then! Because, because Shana their designer who also plays drums was feeling insecure about her talent so they were...

Justice League Dark # 3: Characters talk pretentiously to themselves and each other, we get a gross-out scene with decomposing-body-porn, plot-lines show up out of the blue, absoultely nothing exciting or interesting happens until a very silly scene on the LAST TWO PAGES, ends with a promise...

It sure looks that way, which I didn't mind so much until I realized it meant no more Freeze Guns. But what they did to Tricksters hair is far worse. Honestly, it's probably silly, but what really bothered me was the lack of flashy outfits. They probably are going to return Cold's coat when he...

I think I did watch CatDog as a kid - because I remember my cousin talking about how he hated it and how he wanted to watch Scooby instead, and why would we be talking about that if I didn't? - but I can't remember anything from it except for the finale, which I think I liked. It's just not a...

Getting pretty cheesed at my comic book shop right now. I missed buying Wonder Woman # 2 and Action Comics # 1 & 2, so I figured I'd just ask to have the next books in those series held for me so I wouldn't miss them and have the ones I was missing ordered. Well Action Comics and Wonder Woman...

Demon Knights # 3: Better than the second one, anyway - the characters are getting more defined and I like the direction it's taking some of them, especially Vandal Savage. I still think it's a little moodierthan a book with it's tone and themes should be, though, and I hope this opening arc...

I haven't read any older stories where he's prominent, but he's a main character in the ongoing Demon Knights series.

How on Earth did you get away with that Baloo/Tod one :ack:. Anyway my new one is Kimber, from Jem! I wanted a Jem avatar, and this was the first one that popped up, and it is perfect.

I've gotten about half-way through the Casper collection and decided to give up on it. The comics themselves were getting better, but as the art improves the missing colors, which always bugged me, just becomes more and more noticeable. I'm gonna trade it in and get the Harvey Comics Treasury...

Superboy # 1: A pretty mediocre book all around, and yet, like with Teen Titans (which this is closely tied to), I find myself a little intrigued. The dialogue is horrendous and the art seems robotic, but the plot is pretty strong. Argh, I dunno. I want to find out what happens next but there...

I think you guys might be over-blowing his comments about Islam. Maybe there's something I missed - I haven't read Holy Terror - but in the linked paragraph all he mentions is Al Qaeda (which, well, yeah) and "Islamicism", a vague sort of buzzword which he could mean several things by using...

Hahahaha no, no, I don't think so. Wikipedia and one other guy I asked said that too but I'm pretty sure you're all mistaken about that. I'll give the main X-Men title a shot, though, thanks! Batman: The Dark Knight V. 2 # 1 & 2: So I went ahead and picked these up. Really disappointed. They...

Done quite a bit of reading this week! Teen Titans # 1: The one saving grace of this book is that I want to see the four characters we've been introduced to meet up. I think the interactions between them could be interesting. That alone will probably make me pick up # 2. Other than that, it was...

Justice League # 2: This is still a great series, but this issue is a little weaker than the first one. We've got the cheesy fight-between-heroes that the first book promised us and it's going great, but then it just...stops. And I don't really like this Flash - I wasn't expecting him to be...

I've read a lot more of the new 52's recently, but after a slight upward curve they went right back to getting on my nerves - except for Justice League, which remains awesome. I've read both issues of Batman so far, and they've followed the exact same pattern. Magnificent opening sequences...

OK, so I really like Justice League. The art feels really mechanical, but the artist seems aware of this and we get panels that know how to emphasize it - like the close up on the soldiers or Superman's action figure pose on the last page. It moves more quickly and the characterizations are...

So I picked up some of the new DC # 1s today! I got Superman and Detective Comics. They sucked! The Superman story just felt really bland. I liked the idea behind it but it just seemed to focus on all the wrong things - we get reporters asking each other "What do you think Superman's thinking?"...
