Molly Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Nah, Ray would totally go for that. He's been in waaaaay more disgusting places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) The dialog reads like a bad Bendis knockoff. Furthermore, look at where Killer Moth is laying in the first panel, then look at him when Palmer turns his way. When and how did Moth get up against the wall? He was in the center of the room before, with Ray standing on his cape. Edited July 2, 2009 by Yoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Killer Moth looks like the love child of Lex Luthor and the Vulture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The dialog reads like a bad Bendis knockoff. I get that. Good point. I'm so sick of writers making good, calm heroes into badasses. Sometimes, a good person is just a good person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 He hasn't been the same since his wife went bugfuck. That looks kind of cool. Maybe I'll grab the trade. I like how the Atom looks Asian and not a white guy with black hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, a good person is just a good person. It goes beyond that, though. The repeated "I'm speechless," the "Hey back" Atom says to Ray, and just little things throughout.

Dread Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Aren't some of you guys Starman fans? Robinson has been writing like that since before Bendis came around. I'm not even a Starman guy and I know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Having recently read that first Starman trade, I can say I didn't see any of this Bendis-like dialog in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 A lot of his Razorline stuff, Ultraverse work and his short Miracleman series is a lot like that. Some of his Batman, WildCATS and even Golden Age if I remember right. Definitely his JSA but Bendis was around by then, copying Robinson .

Missy Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The blood stains on the floor seem to imply he was crawling away from them. I don't see any blood stains in the panel where Ray first confronts Moth. At least none that would indicate crawling backwards. And how did he crawl away if Palmer was standing on his cape? Des, I can't speak of that stuff, because I've either never read it or it's been too long since I have, but this is the very first time I've ever seen Robinson write anything like this. I mean, it's one thing if they're both going for a more natural type of conversation. But the stuff seen here, this is pure Bendis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm looking at first page, second column, third panel down; there seem to be what look like bloodstains on the ground by the cape, and a tear on the cape itself? That might just be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 He stepped off of the cape when he turned his body to face Choi, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I just want to say that I'm very happy to see the return of a former Starman in Justice League: Cry for Justice. Its not Jack Knight but still, Mikaal Tomas was an important part of that great run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I just saw the first page of Green lantern 43. The full page of black hand not only looks awesome..... Fuck it, that is so fucking awesome! I mean Johns just set up how creepy this guy is and how awesome this story is going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Couple of things: In Green Lantern Geoff Johns is showing how much of a bunch of bastards the Guardians really are, and how malicious they can be. In Green Lantern Corps Peter Tomasi is showing how truly evil Scar has become, and how these two storys when they come together in the Blackest night, how the shit will truly hit the fan. Other editors should try and have the same flow between their titles like Green Lantern has, sure Batman has some of that, but that's mostly between Paul Dini's Sirens and Streets. Also, when I was reading the preview of Justice League: Cry for Justice preview, I was slightly taken out of it, by the lettering, I mean it just felt so out of place with the rest of the preview. Maybe that's just me, it just felt cartoony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I knew Brian Wood had a history in graphic design (he did art for a lot of Rockstar games including GTA 3 and Vice City, as well as a lot of websites and a Nike advertising campaign) but I didn't know he was an active cover artist. He did 14 covers for Warren Ellis's Global Frequency and does all the covers for his own DMZ book, art which I consider to be on a par with James Jean's work on Fables. I am also only four books short of owning everything the guy has ever written. Just need Vol 3 of the Couriers, Vertigo miniseries Fight For Tomorrow, his run on Generation X and Channel Zero. To be honest I wasn't that thrilled with the first two Couriers trades but I'm a completest and its cool to see his evolution through different styles as a writer.

Missy Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Exiles has a very interesting concept, but Marvel needs to let it rest for a while. I mean, despite a few minor gaps in publishing, it's pretty much had a nonstop run since August 2001: Exiles #1-100 (August 2001 - February 2008) New Exiles #1-18 (April 2008 - February 2009) Exiles #1-6 (April 2009 - September 2009) Slapping a new "#1" on the cover does not always boost interest in a series, and twice now Marvel has learned that with this book.
