prez Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I actually kinda liked 'Sword of Sorcery.' Stupid that they didn't even get a chance to finish their opening arc. It certainly wasn't as bad as the rest of those. Team 7 particularly sucked. Hey, here's all these characters that you kind of know, already in media res. You want their backgrounds? Fuuuuuuckkk youuuuuu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm reading a book with some early Catwoman appearances. Jesus, those cat puns are awful. She has a purrfect plan, her hideout is a catacomb, she'll claw your eyes out, etc. It's like there was a mandate of at least five cat puns per page.

Kenny Evil Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have a big problem with this It's not just that it's objectifying a female character from a comic, it's the character that they're objectifying. Halo Jones was specifically built around not being a femme fatale or a sex object and while she did extraordinary things, she herself was meant to be ordinary. She could have been someone you knew or even you in a way that you couldn't really get from Dredd or Slaine or Batman or Superman. She wasn't a sexless character, but she also was meant to be something other than a sex icon. I don't know whether the fact that Ian Gibson was the one who drew these prints makes it better or worse.

Kenny Evil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Drowntown looks really interesting. First full strip work that Jim Murray's done in some years I think. I really love the high quality stuff that Jonathan Cape seems to be putting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is this just me, or does anyone else find The Walking Dead comic and TV Shows work a lot better in larger chunks, than issue by issue, or episode by episode? Like reading an entire trade at once, or several episodes of the show in one long sitting. I'm in the middle of volume 14: No Way Out, and quite frankly, I found the last two volumes to be slightly boring, as they were just busy setting up the new status quo, and it felt like it took them forever, so, I'm now starting to think, even the actual trades of The Walking Dead are reading better as like 3 at once, rather than one at a time, as just reading those slower volumes, was very unfulfilling, and rather draining, especially for 12 and 13.

Dan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I just got finished reading Batman Family #1 from 1976. The lead story tells of Congresswoman Barbara Gordon and her part-time-secretary-during-school-break Dick Grayson (this is all in continuity, folks), who are Batgirl and Robin completely unbeknownst to each other, teaming up to fight the ghost of Benedict Arnold, sent to ruin the upcoming Bicentennial celebrations by Satan himself. I swear to God this is a real thing. Bronze Age, bitches. *drops mic* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
