I thought Cornell was good on this one, the problem I had was actually with Sepulveda's art. But I'm not complaining, I still get three Milligan monthlies.

Why? StormWatch should have been canceled 6 issues ago. Terrible, Terrible comic. I can't imagine Jim Lee cares about the Wildstorm titles anymore considering how he so cheerfully soldout to DC/Warner Bros all those years ago and then stood by and watched how DC slowly destroyed all the Wildstorm properties.

Only a handful of issues should continue to be published. You know after April Marvel will be on top again permanently. Then what will DC execs do??

I kind of want the comic book industry to end this year. They're not really making an effort to be creative and put out great stories. Marvel and DC have failed miserably and I want Didio, Johns, Jim Lee, Joe Quesada, Brian Bendis and Mark Millar to take the blame for destroying comics forever.

Yes, I'm just not getting around Sepulveda's art. Something's just off.

It's not, but thanks anyway.

Awesome. I wasn't going to stick around after tomorrow's issue due to Cornell leaving, but I can wade through a couple Jenkins issues for Milligan.

So now the Shadow Cabinet are the Shadow Lords? Or are the Shadow Lords what we call the individual members of the Shadow Cabinet?

Then just stop reading comics. Problem solved.

Sigh, I wish Milligan was writing a DCU book that didn't have crap art...

He was, but then he left/was taken off JLD.

And if they didn't put Milligan on Stormwatch......?

Talk about selfishness. One person doesnt like comics so everyone has to feel the same way. Right? I feel like there are TONS of great stories. I blame all of the people you mentioned for making comics tolerable again. Before the relaunch comics were heading in the direction you are talking about. This is the first time in my life that I have felt like comics are successful. But thats my opinion. Just like how you have your opinion. Maybe you should lay off the stick in the butt.

BTW it doesnt matter if Marvel is at the top. While they are somewhat competing, DC has their own expectations for their company.

I may try this out again. To be honest Milligan didn't wow me on JLDark or Red Lanterns. But i guess this may be more his thing. There just seems to be a lot of jump back on points in May and I can't do them all.
