I'm absolutely positive that Clark's line about Lois' "pretty little neck" was out of place and inappropriate in the late 1980s. In fact, given that I was well into graduate school when that line was...

It's far too late for this, but I would love to see him finish his last "Squadron Supreme" story. It ended with Hyperion, Nighthawk and the Blur getting ready to take on Redstone again. Obviously,...

I agree with the point above that WW is often portrayed in DC as being not as powerful as Superman. In one sense, this is true - she does not have the same range of powers. On the other hand, in the...

I think that the WW/Superman pairing is absolutely fine and is, indeed, quite logical. They are both superhumanly powerful, they are both isolated in the world, they have similar ideals, they are...

Odd. I'm been scanning this thread and there doesn't seem to be much discussion of the plot of the story.

To be honest, I'm a bit lost here. I've never heard of the Apoc Twins before last issue,...

To me, this looks enormously unappealing. We live in a world where the average worker in the US has not had a real wage increase in 40 years while more and more money accumulates in the hands of a...

I agree with most of your comments, but I'm less forgiving about plot holes. A lot of the time, those things happen because the filmmakers are too lazy to keep their picture internally consistent and...

Ok, this is just absolutely stupid. A little Asgardian axe can kill a Celestial? When all the power of Asgard couldn't even knock one down? When Arishem allowed Thor to impale him with the Odinsword...

Interesting. I expect this will explain why the Avengers behaved like such absolute thugs last issue.

I'm away from home, so I haven't had a chance to read this yet. But could someone explain to me what's happening here? In the last issue, Alec Holland died - at least, his body was killed, though his...

How is this any different than what Alan Moore established? In both cases, it is a plant that has the mind of a man. But the man's flesh and blood is completely gone.

Question: is this a fill-in story? Because the last issue killed Alec Holland, the man, and ST a plant again - something that needed to be done, in my opinion. Yet this story starts off with the...

I think that Alex was basically right. Tribalism is not something to be celebrated; it is something to be abhorred.

My only question: where was Thor in all of this? If he was taken down, I don't...

No, absolutely not. The intelligent and responsible thing for the Avengers to have done in this situation was to try to talk the boy down. He was clearly not responsible for what he was doing....

Hi! I'm sure this has already come up, but isn't it clear that something is off with the Avengers? They attacked the boy for no reason at all and they all acted like incredible jerks. Even Captain...

Fascinating interview. I agree with Claremont about Jean. Bringing her back - especially in the way she was brought back, which was just ridiculously stupid - was one of the worst mistakes that...

I completely agree. Azzarello has been doing a good job on this book, but I've never had any sense that he has any respect for, knowledge of, or concern with the central character. And, as I've said...

I'm sure there has already been a thread or a discussion to this effect, but I can't find it, so I hope no one objects to my starting a new one.

Just a few observations: historically, Thor and...

Thanks for the excerpt. I had not seen this (I hated AvX, so spending more money on its spinoffs was not something I was going to do). This certainly portrays Namor in a different light. But it...

My only experience with Millar was his early "Ultimates" work which, I thought, was very good and handled its "grit" and "realism" very well. However, he completely lost me when, in a subsequent...

No, I don't think it had anything to do with Man of Steel.

Hyperion has been around for ages and Hickman seems to have planned his introduction of his new characters with a lot of forethought....

No offense to anyone, but I can't believe that there is a debate about whether or not what Batman does in the "Dark Knight" series is criminal. Of course it is. He admits he is a criminal (and yes, I...

Interesting comments. Personally, I think that "TDKSA" is one of the most disappointing comics I've ever read; hardly a worthy successor to the original. However, it does explain Superman's behaviour...

I think one thing to keep in mind is that in the original series, Superman has become a military weapon. He is the superweapon- the next closest thing to the US having God on its side (as the...

No, I think it's pretty clear from interview etc. that Azzarello had no real knowledge of or respect for WW and her established cast before he started writing. The various things he has done...
