RSS Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Not only has a new writer joined the IIWY? crew, but together they cover eight comic books, including Black Widow #2, The Flash #2, New Avengers Finale, and Shadowhawk #1. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/c/iiwy/iiwy-129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome to the series, Hannah! I find it really bothersome that after two issues of the ongoing series, six of Rebirth, and appearances in every issue of Blackest Night, Johns still hasn't fleshed out Barry's persona. I honestly believe Johns is getting a pass because of who he is. If this were a less-established writer, people would be complaining left and right. But, really, it should be the opposite; Johns should be taking a lot of flack because he is a good writer, and he knows better. Sean, I wish you would have spent more time on Principal Siuntres' speech in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. The art there is a little over-the-top, but the message is powerful and well-delivered.

drqshadow Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome to the crew, Hannah. Something tells me you'll fit in just fine. Agreed on the Principal's speech, Mike. I'd actually started writing a set of thoughts about it, but the speech itself was such a flash in the pan compared to the rest of the issue that it didn't seem appropriate to dwell. Bendis put on his big boy pants for those three pages, then went back on vacation for the rest of the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome Hannah. As far as Flash is concerned. People whine and complain about why comics aren't like the Silver Age anymore and then when they actually are. People whine and complain.

Missy Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 When they complain that books aren't like the way they were in the Silver Age, my understanding is that they want one-issue stories that don't focus on death and gore. I've never heard anyone say they want plain characters who are lacking personalities and depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 i don't think the Barry from issue one lacked depth. I can't speak for issue two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks guys. if you want to see what I'm talking about with the BW art, there's scans up on Scans Daily that illustrate exactly what I'm talking about. Also, loved the review, Des. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
