X-Crescence CLXXI: Be Our Guest

[Swashbuckler]

I like Acuna. I'm shocked, but not shocked that Cassaday couldn't even keep up any sort of schedule. I'm shocked they even bothered.

Yeah, it's not surprising AT ALL. I love how they had to babble on about how CRAZY issues 3 and 4 are and that's why Cassady's hand cramps flaired. I'll laugh when the panels are desolate.

Acuna? I don't mind him sometimes, but I'm not really a big fan for the most part.

Pretty much how I feel. The one artist that I see get a lot of praise is Stefano from Avengers Assemble. I just can't get into his art. From expressions to this bloated look he gives everyone. If that is the charm then I'm not feeling it.

I am deeply disappointed you haven't posted in the Arcade Appreciation thread yet. Deeply. Offended. And Disappointed.

I'll go there to post that it belongs in the X-boards. Just for you.

The comics? I've never read it, only watched the show. I was planning on picking up an Omnibus at some point though.

Yeah, the comic. It was good at the beginning. I think that the popularity from the show has influenced it a bit. My biggest gripe is that they've brought in an antagonist recently who's just like the main character from The Boys. It's a series that's fallen victim to being gritty for the sake of being gritty.

The problem I have with Remender is that he seems to plan a story and then throws in a bunch of characters (often ones he loved as a kid) and mangles them so they fit his idea of that story and what that character should be like. Character continuity be damned. And a lot of pretentious narration boxes. At least Bendis' are properly ridiculous.

My mind is still blown that he made Hawkeye the leader of a black ops squad. Brash, loudmouth, dumbass "I hate killing waaaah" Clint Barton.

[Swashbuckler]

lol, The Boys. I dropped that mess ages ago. Talk about going no where.

[Personamanx]

Remender is pretty dang overrated in my book. I mean, I have sort of enjoyed his comics before but overall I would not be able to praise him with anything more than average.

I don't know how anyone could stand reading the Boys. Just an unpleasant book all together. Which isn't a surprise considering the writer.

Yeah, his Secret Avengers is a crime. Every issue I can't believe we're still fighting these robots.

It's finished, and it wasn't Rocket Science.

The same happened to Invincible. It's just a Kirkman thing.

Yeah, I'm about to do the same. I find some parts interesting, but I could do without the wholly unnecessary language and random, unprompted sexual acts every two seconds.

The same happened to Invincible. It's just a Kirkman thing.

I've never read Invincible. Even with the decline, is it a good series?

Quite possibly the dumbest comic I've ever read.

There's a distinct correlation between the number of people who review comics on their blogs and awful people who don't understand comics.

[Talisman]

Inthe UK or Worldwide? Because nobody in the US knows who Girls Aloud are.

I know who Girls Aloud are....

It starts off great. It becomes meh around issue 70.

Do you like them?
