    Still not taken the plunge with this one yet, so far I've only got Dial H which I though was fantastic, just the perfect levels of decreptitude and surreality. I was unsure but based on the comments here I'm going to have to give it a go I think

    Dead in a comic does not mean dead. No matter what THEY say.

    I thought it accomplished it superbly and in no small part due to Scott's dynamic and gorgeous art. It was a wonderful read–great superheroics.
    Against...

    Oh look at me, I am a first issue, but I am not going to spend but a fraction of my time with the people who are going to (supposedly) star in this comic. instead, I am going to make a big deal about the big three, and kill them off. It is sensationalist fluff, a Michael Bay summer film-all boom and bam and no substance. I was very disappointed, especially after I picked up some old issues of Goyer and Johns JLA this morning and read them fondly, because they were so very passionate about their characters...
    I'm in the middle. I needed more. Mostly because, I liked it but, also I wished for more setup. If ever a story needed a double sized book it was this one. Like a two hour premiere of a regularly scheduled one hour show.

    <sigh>

    Already prefer Earth 2 Universe though.
    Namor is King! Killraven too. Mantis is the greatest!

    Shatterstar is gay. Deadpool is Bi.
