What a silly comment. If someone doesn't appreciate an artist you do, their barometer for great art is therefore... kindergarten finger paiting?
Right... I know you were aiming to sound 'smart'...

Is that the new gauge for quality then?

Hmm.

My favorite Cyclops is probably Whedon's. He had the exact right balance of hot-headed/level-headed/vulnerable/hardass/heroic/militant for most of that run.

This more or less continued for...

Oh god no. That was just a mess. The man writes every issue like it's part of a 45-issue arc and being read as such.

The much lesser Hickman.

You get that that's his signature right?

Millar stamping his work with extreme sensationalism is no more noticeable than Grant Morrison wearing a suit. Nothing to praise or get mad over.

There are plenty of solits that convey atmosphere and a broad idea of what the content is in a way that promises excitement (and boy does this book need it) and something you want to keep spending...

Why do I always find the Morning Glories solits so obnoxious?

I really doubt this "no information because c'mon, you already care and can't wait-we can tell" smugness is getting any new readers...

That is a very very stupid statement. Basically as close to saying that coca-cola doesn't need any commercials because you have a case of it in your fridge. Marketing 101. Just wikipedia the concept.

Which more and more confirms the after-taste that these editors are writing the stories are just looking for the most docile name to put on the cover.

I'm having a hard time believing that a...

I can't wait for the deluxe Bendis hardcover omnibus title:

"All New X-Men: So I wrote these guys for a while. Had a cool premised and rolled with it, lol. Mystique showed up."

Good contribution, Diane.



Casual fans are more open, generally. Yes, they'll find the 30+ years of continuity, deaths, and ridiculous number of characters overwhelming but they're a lot more...

The art is gorgeous, yes, but really, it just feels like these guys have been hanging around the school going "OMG, ZE FUTURE!" for almost two paperbacks now.

This isn't even a decompression...

A good book.

It really is that simple. Something I'll look forward to every month. That's entertaining to read.

No one could have predicted Fraction's Hawkeye for instance. It flies in the face...

Yes, yes.... Ominous event is ominous. Nebulous concept is nebulous. Mysterious figure is mysterious.

For all the praise he gets, Hickman's shtick has never been more one-note than since he...

Yeah... the guy doesn't seem all that capable of narrowing down to telling 6-issue stories or all that enjoyable single issues. Everything he writes seems to be "the big 30-issue picture will blow...

So you just write pages and pages of fanfiction in your brain to excuse everything on the page that makes no sense....Uh.

Yes, clearly that was a display of in-depth continuity and not Bendis' sloppy writing.

'Eric' was also a piece of commentary on Anglo-saxon privilege. Duh.

Really because "No Duh" Magik popped a vein in here somewhere.

ALLBLONDEGIRLSARETHESAMEEVERYWHERE apparently.

I like it.

He's the schlubby guy from Parks & Recs but years back he was the buff jock on a WB show 'Everwood'. He had that whole Captain America thing. He'll get creepy buff, creepy fast like...

This really wasn't my cup of tea. Kind of dissapointing given that the original remains one of my favorite runs ever. That fight between Wiccan and Hulking was really cringe-worthy. The art didn't...

Out of all the post-television Buffyverse ventures, this is the one book that feels most like a coherent season and total continuation of the show that birthed it. Writing and art are both right on...

What a ridiculous statement. I hate, hate, hate when discussion is reduced to such broad parameters. ("A story had Cyclops punch a cop: WORST STORIEZZZ EVAA").

It was a comedic scene, Storm's...

Has someone asked Bendis why he writes Emma Frost like 'Sassy Female Character #7' and doesn't bother remotely trying to keep the character's voice?

This interview makes it sound like he's really...

I think that's the one thing we can guarantee he's not.

*sigh*

Yes, it very much has. It's just not the Grey-Summers-time-travelling-JEEEEEEAAAAN fanfiction one you and the interwebs seems to want.



She was.
