RSS Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Is It Wednesday Yet? makes its return to Earth-2.net, with DW and Mike reviewing Batman & Robin #5, Haunt #1, North 40 #1, and Sweet Tooth #2.

Missy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 As I told DW via e-mail, if his review of Batman & Robin #5 doesn't win an Earth-2.net Mainpage Award, it will be a crime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 That was beyond awesome. Amazing work, Dubs. Actually, there's some really good work all around here. Great job, gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 As I told DW via e-mail, if his review of Batman & Robin #5 doesn't win an Earth-2.net Mainpage Award, it will be a crime! I agree, that was fucking awesome. My only disagreement is that, theirs a page where Damian looks like an old Japanese woman, and Dick looks like a 30 year old Chinese guy. I know its not part of the forums, but Mike, can you make Dubs IIWY review post of the day? I really hated that issue, and I hated it so much, it's really making me question reading the book, ever, it was that bad. You are right, Morrison writes for himself, and then if someone else enjoys it, yay. But the flip of that is, that if the person writes what they'd like to see, it does come through in the writing.

Missy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Though I heavily praise Morrison's work on All-Star Superman, really like what I've read of Batman & Robin (that being the first three issues), adore WE3, and think Aztek was great, I'm on the fence with Morrison. Something about most of his work rubs me the wrong way. Hell, maybe it isn't the man or the work, but fan reaction to him and his writing.

Koete Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 When Morrison does work that appeals to the mainstream (All Star Superman, JLA), people love it. When Morrison does something outside of the mainstream, people love it or they hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well, I like All-Star Superman but dislike what I've read of his JLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Morrison does something outside of the mainstream, people love it or they hate it. When that work is meant to appeal to the mainstream and most people are lost(The end of R.I.P and Final Crisis) that's when he can get annoying. But, I'm with Mike I really liked All Star Superman, and batman and Robin 1-3. I also really liked his first two storys in Batman that are part of batman and son.

Koete Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well, I like All-Star Superman but dislike what I've read of his JLA. I guess I should have said, people who have read more than one issue of his JLA love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Forgot to ask one thing. Mike, you wrote IIWY this week with Dubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I guess I should have said, people who have read more than one issue of his JLA love it. I wish I could get past the art.

It grew on me after a few issues, but I can definitely see it being a deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I wrote the review of Haunt #1. I know, I saw your name on the review and had to almost do a double take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn4tcH Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 As a Morrison enthusiast... I'm not digging this arc. I don't like his characterization of Jason Todd, he's just annoying. The art is AWFUL. But making fun of Frank Quitely's art is an unforgivable sin, and I hope your soul has a good time in the "people who don't like Frank Quitely's art" section of hell.

grahamvidger Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I can understand how some people don't like Quitely's art, but I actually think what he is doing now is some of his best art. I just love his drawing for Damian and Dick (sort of how he can make him look like that young Batman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Quitely's work on Batman and Robin was good, but not his best. I think his art is at its best when he collaborates with Jamie Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 His style tends to be a little too loose for my liking, but most of the time he's fine. I just hate the way he draws Damian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I love how he occasionally imbeds the sound effect into the object that's making the noise. I guess that's the kind of thing I was really hoping for when I started reading Batman and Robin. As soon as Philip Tan started I could feel that slipping away.

drqshadow Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 That may have been the best IIWY review ever. Well done, sir Dubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
