I have runs of some things, do you think that should be a different listing? Like, I have the whole run of "Reign of the Supermen" or whatever and the first 40-some issues of "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Ultimate X-Men". Should that be listed as a collection?

Pretty self-explanatory. I have a ton of comics but I have to read digital or trade wait these days. I don't really have time to go back and read individual issues. So is eBay a viable option? Or is there somewhere else? I really don't have the money to get anything graded unfortunately so I guess my options are limited.

I'm pretty sad that Josh Dallas had to drop out as Fandral, because he was bound to get more screen time in this film. I just can't see Zachary Levi in a supporting action role as a dashing swordsman.

Fixed for ya.

What the hell is a dutch angle? Is that a camera technique that speaks several languages and has loose sexual boundaries?

Though I'm not a huge anime guy, I'm a fan. I filled it out and hopefully you'll let us know how it goes and what your results are.

See, now I want William Daniels to voice Robocop.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks that DC has gone too far over the line with the Joker. It seems like the writers are all trying to write "the most awesome Joker story ever!!!!" Snyder has said repeatedly that Joker is his favorite character, so he's trying to make this some sort of ultimate crime. But in reality I'm fucking bored out of my mind with the character and the way he is used.

That's so stupid. Everyone knows Robert Neville is black.

Needs AT LEAST Milla Jovovich, Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock, too. I will accept no substitutes.

I've got no idea who that is, but he looks awesome.

When I saw the word "Riverdale," I prayed it would be a massacre. Thank you so much. As for the inter-dimensional rock band?

No shit. It's like talking to a cult member.

Is it OK if I hate it because it's poorly planned, poorly executed and ill-defined, and has destroyed the stories of most of my favorite characters (Wally, Tim, Booster, etc.) because of a self-created crisis and poor leadership? I'm really not giving a flying fuck about The Rot or The Red or The Green or The Rainbow or The Violet or any of that other shit. I don't like horror books and shock books, no matter how well they're written. In Animal Man #0, they depict a newborn being suffocated in its crib. Not off-panel, but center panel as just another moment. Fuck that shit. What's good about that? Batman stories are more violent than ever - though I admit Snyder is great. The Flash as a highlight? That book looks pretty, reads shitty. Wonder Woman is interesting, I'll give you that. Aquaman is still on the first real story arc after more than a year and I still don't know what's going on. But it is fun. You can proclaim you're not a DC fanboy, but holy crap yes you are.

Yeah, the whole thing is just a clusterfuck. If it weren't for a handful of good books, I could just give up.

No sentence can contain "Hickman" and "good," without at least including the word "insane."

You know what I love most about this draft? Everyone is completely ignoring DCnU characters, because they suck so fucking bad.

I have no fucking idea who that is.

That's really cool, but I feel you've put way more thought into this than DC.

I got an email from the comic's author this weekend and they got fully funded already. I know no one responded, but I hope some of you looked at the project because it's going to be a good one. They're hoping to publish independently with printing through Image or a similar company (much like Kirkman does with "Walking Dead" and stuff). Look for it on shelves around November-December.

OK, fair enough. I was just looking forward to reading more synopses of what people were going to do with these teams. We only got a few.

Now that we're seeing the JLA Draft done, as well, can I ask what the overall point of this was? Not to be rude, as I really like reading and the story pieces are great.

Hey, everybody. I just wrote a story about a comic book writer who left the business to join the Army and became a special forces combat photographer. He served from Jan. 2009 until February of this year. When he got out, he teamed up with former Marvel and DC artist Josh Hood to start writing a fictionalized limited series about his experiences. Here's the link to my story, which goes much more in depth, of course: http://www.altoonami...er.html?nav=738 Here's a link to the Kickstarter project, which has a synopsis of the series and a lot of art from Hood: http://www.kickstart...ession?ref=live One cool thing about this project is that it drew Hood back into comics. After making a good living as a commercial illustrator (he had burned out on superheroes, apparently), this script hooked him right away. They're 3/4 of the way to their goal right now and the Kickstarter project ends at the end of the month.

How long do you think it will takes DC to finally give in and give us a timeline of what happened and what didn't?
