I don't dislike Ulysses or Joyce at all: my favorite bit is the recap of the history of the English language in the "Oxen of the Sun" chapter, just an amazing piece of wordplay. But it's more poetry...

The creator I especially don't want to see working at DC is in fact a moral monster who has made it his life's work to deface and darken characters that were made to be beacons of hope, whether they...

I had only the vaguest notion of who Azzarello was myself before this run started. I too was willing to give him the benefit of a doubt. (I figured he just couldn't be worse than JMS. Heh.) I was...

Siouxsie, Morrisey, John Lydon, Robert Smith and more get superhero makeovers.

I found these rather clever.

Comics have literary merit. There's plenty of pulp literature that has literary merit. Dashiell Hammett, H. Rider Haggard, and H. P. Lovecraft all have literary merit.

But for writers like...

From fairly early -- well before Rome became a republic -- there were Greek settlers in southern Italy and Sicily, where they encountered Aetna, Stromboli, and other live volcanoes. Thus Hephaestus...

Speaking for myself, I use 'tragedy' in the Aristotelian sense. Tragedy arises when fate overcomes a person whose virtues are accompanied by high aspirations (hubris) that eventually leads the...

This is the cover to the Wonder Woman issue in that two part crossover.

There is also this, Wonder Woman +1 guest starring Jesse Quick, which seems closer to the description. This is...

I think she should coach soccer or track and field at Holliday College.

The influence of "graphic novels" and graphic novelists on superhero storytelling is almost entirely a negative one.

I probably would have been talking about the Rucka run on the DC boards back when they were around. I don't think Rucka's run was "pretty damn magnificent"; I would have called it the worst ever...

I don't see that happening. Azzarello's run will be remembered as a glaring example of what not to do. Wonder Woman is not improved by uglification. Keep the mood light and the pace brisk.

There is very little of this I disagree with. I do think she should be somewhere close to Superman's power level.

It intrigues me that both Azzarello fans and Azzarello haters seem to agree in...

Very nice cover. I like it because my Age of Conan character dual wields axes just like that. :evilsmile:

For me, it's about preserving the integrity and original vision of a piece of our nation's culture for the next generation. Yes, Wonder Woman is that important.

1. Taking Greek mythology too seriously. Bad Wonder Woman storylines are inevitably the work of the gods.

2. Trying to turn Diana into a tragic figure. She was not made to be such.

3. ...

I tend not to like magical origins in my superheroes, and prefer science, because science makes for better story hooks.

Your bad guy has a laser death ray. But writers and readers understand a...

I know they're going to promote the Azzarello version now; but if they're promoting Wonder Woman trades, they could at least promote the Perez or Simone or Jimenez trades, or even The Hiketeia over...

The arch is apparently one of the technologies Azzarello's amazons don't have.

I've always been drawn to mythology. I had three years of high school and four years of college Latin, and went on to use Latin in law school, more than the average law student; my research project...

I may have been a bit too hard on Dial H. It came out at a bad time, I suppose; and I was in no mood to see that a Silver Age concept was being used by a British Marxist writer to reference...

I suspect instead that last year's would have been largely unintelligible to anybody who wasn't already familiar with DC characters: which would appear to be missing the point of FCBD.
