How do you know the high ratings came from "fanboys who haven't seen the film"? Do you have some evidence of this?

I like plenty of Marvel's movies. I even said fun movies that provide a bit of a...

Yup. On Imdb, MOS is sitting at 8.2/10. These are entirely site user votes. By comparison, IM3 is at 7.6/10.

The fact is, a lot of critics are looking at superhero movies for a good laugh and...

This guy is untouchable. But come on, no collected THB yet??

Agreed. I think a lot of the reason for Warner to take a different approach is the nature of the heroes themselves. The Marvel formula is "everyday person with problems gets superpowers, complicates...

I liked it a lot. As for Bullseye's death, my assumption was that Mapone did it. She is supposed to be some sort of badass uber-ninja, like Stick was. What I don't quite get is why she isn't the new...

I'd say "A History of Violence" and "Road To Perdition", both movies made from DC comics, pretty much crush everything on that list except for maybe "The Dark Knight" (in my opinion). To bad they...

Some villain books are ridiculously entertaining - I'm thinking of Millar's Supercrooks and Nemesis. The latter really was just evil for evil's sake and quite hilariously over the top. I hope DC...

This is an exaggeration, as I'm sure you're aware. For example, three of my favourite titles, Swamp Thing, Animal Man and Wonder Woman are in no danger of cancellation.

DC is following what in my...

Yes, obviously it was a shout-out to those guys. "Mack" is David Mack, an acclaimed artist/writer who wrote a short arc after the Kevin Smith run and illustrated parts of the Bendis run. His Tumblr...

One of the few writers whose stuff I'll buy on sight. The Azzarello/Risso team is so consistent, right up there with Brubaker/Phillips.

Someone mentioned the WW forum. It's a sad place, and it...

My only concern is how long it's going to take after it's all over for the entire thing (vol. 1, Leviathan Strikes!, vol. 2) to be collected into an Absolute so it can sit beside my Batman and Robin:...

Well, that's an understatement. Bendis's run is CLASSIC. I loved it so much I went out, bought the trades, took off the covers and had the pages bound into two beautiful hardcovers. But yeah,...

I agree about Brubaker, but his run on Captain America in particular was critically acclaimed and it was a big deal when he left the title. Same with Daredevil, though personally I didn't like this...

One thing to remember is the "Brubaker Effect": a lot of formerly successful capes 'n' tights writers are branching out from the Big Two for the creator-owned world. Creative talent has a lot of...

SteveGus has never even read this comic. He just hates Azzarello because of Azz's vast improvements to WW. The way SG talks about him regularly violates the forum's policies on being abusive towards...

Surprised no one has mentioned Sean Phillips (Fatale). Brubaker and Phillips are one of the great teams of modern comics, I'd say.

Have you ever read anything by Brian Azzarello before, like say 100 Bullets? If so, you more or less know what you're getting: a large cast, many plot threads and a long timeline of events that come...

This felt like old-school '80s Batman to me, like it could have been written by Denny O'Neil or something. Great to see that Layman gets Batman and is laying lots of fertile groundwork for the...

Comedian was a great character study with limited appeal to fans of "normal" comics. The ending was pretty crushing.

Minutemen was the other standout for me.

You keep using this word "need". I don't think it means what you think it means.

Tell us more about these "needs".

Yes, all of this. Plus Swamp Thing back in the DCU, Animal Man, cool titles like Frankenstein and Dial H, a lot of convoluted continuity cleaned up, particularly with Wonder Woman who was just a...

Haha, well, believe me when I tell you nerdrage is alive and well, in this thread, the WW forum hatefest and in the Spider-Man forum. In the latter, Superior Spider-Man writer Dan Slott showed up and...

It's always fun to swing into The Mighty Butthurt Thread for a laugh though. Nerdrage = hilarity, at least for me.

Before Watchmen: Comedian. Can't stop thinking about this one.

This is a prime example of British humour vs. American humour. The latter tends to be a lot more literal. Millar is taking the piss - it's all tongue in cheek.
