Molly Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Man of Steel and All Star Superman are both fucking awesome. You are not a sufficiently unstoppable force to make this immovable object even consider surrendering. I'm just giving my opinion. You're welcome to disagree. You're wrong, but it's America.

SuaveStar Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Day 4- Least Favorite Limited Series It had so much promise. Tony Daniel was asked to write a simple story about getting Dick Grayson into the cowl as Batman, and what he turns in is a crappy mess in terms of writing. He introduces a new Black Mask, who it takes a year to reveal, and then at the end, he ends the book with. Oh, and Dick Grayson becomes Batman! Ta-Da! The art was great as usual, but the story just leaves a horrible after taste and ruins anything that would make me care about reading BFTC ever again. Runner up, and it was a close second: The series started out strong with the first issue. Then it just overly complicated, and by the ending, I didn't know what the fuck was going on. And didn't really feel like I should care. The book made me wonder if I really wanted to keep Morrison's Batman run. It nearly soured me on Morrison's entire Batman run.

dc20willsave Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Day 4- Least Favorite Limited Series BEFORE any of you jump down my throats about my choice, bear in mind that 1) this is my least favorite limited series, not what I consider the worst of all time and 2) I'm counting only books which I've actually read in this thread. I know for a fact Ultimates 3, Countdown, Cry for Justice, All-Star Batman and Robin, and Onslaught Reborn are worse comics, based upon detailed reviews of them, but I'm not counting them. Therefore, my least favorite limited series is... Dishonorable Mention: You're fired. On both counts. Day 4- Least Favorite Limited Series All-Time: I read every issue of this thing. Just... ugh. It's a testament to how much I loved Final Crisis that I don't hate it because of it's unfortunate association with Countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooo, forgot about Battle for the Cowl. Scratch "Lex Luthor: Man of Steel". This is now my "Dishonorable Mention". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't mind Battle for the Cowl, you're rehired on a provisional basis for taking Man of Steel off Dishonorable Mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Day 5 - A Comic That Reminds You of Someone My best friend loves comics but doesn't care for most Superheroes. I've since introduced him to more books but Johnny was the book he knew best when I met him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Know Who Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Day 5: Comic that reminds you of something This was a really tough one, but I ultimately have to go with this: Reminds me of my good friend and collaborator Chris Samson, who not only is a huge Bat-fan but is in the camp that believes that Batman can beat up Superman on a regular basis. Can't say I agree, despite preferring Batman to Superman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prez Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Day 5 - A Comic That Reminds You of Someone This issue, and the two after it, make me think of my parents, because they bought me this 3-pack of Batman comics and I remember reading them and thinking "There is NO WAY they'd let me read this if they knew what it was about."

Stavros Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 5- A comic that reminds you of someone- This was the book that introduced me to the modern Batman, and basically bought me back into comics. The guy who leant it to me was an old school-friend Dan Tucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Day 6 - A Comic That Reminds You of Somewhere This reminds me of this island in Lake Erie that my family would camp at and occasionally visit a family friend at. I remember taking this issue of Jughead with me on one of those visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
