Molly Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The gore doesn't bother me but, Roy losing his arm kinda pisses me off. And just in general, maiming and killing off these characters that we're supposed to like is the problem. I like Roy. I've seen him beat a heroin addiction, raise a kid as a single father, ride high with the Titans, and now, that he's finally in the JLA, become an equal to Ollie. And having Captain Fucking Marvel being the guy to rip his arm off is whole 'nother level of fucked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've decided to become Superboy Prime's biggest fan. I probably wouldn't have as much of a problem with the character if not for Countdown. He made for a good, if vaguely whiny, villain in Infinite Crisis. He wasn't too bad in Sinestro Corps War. He did still get on my nerves in Legion of Three Earths but that might also be because it was coming off of Countdown and he was surrounded by better villains. I actually was digging him in the recent issue of Adventure Comics. So, I'd have to say I don't mind Superbitch Prime as much when it's Geoff Johns writing him. So, Preston, good luck with your bid to become his biggest fan. I'm sure there will be little competeition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 After re-watching Justice League: The New Frontier something dawned on me: Hal was brought to his ring / Abin Sur, yet all of the other rings fly off to their new bearers. Why is that; why was Hal the only (?) one who was ever transported to his ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that; why was Hal the only (?) one who was ever transported to his ring? Abin Sur wasn't dead at the time, he used the ring to bring Hal there. Automatic ring assignment happens when the bearer dies unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automatic ring assignment happens when the bearer dies unexpectedly. But what I'm asking is, has that happened before or since? When Guy was introduced? Didn't he get called to that same ring to? I don't think it's happened since, as most people are killed in battle now, also, Abin was an expert in his field as a green lantern, and like cops they are killed quickly, not slow and painfully like Abin was.

KnightWing Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Also, the GL mythos has been constantly evolving since then. The way in which the ring's powers work isn't quite the same as it was back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 ... I kinda liked that book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I will admit it wasn't new reader friendly but if you've been following JSA, it does make a significant amount more sense. A lot of it ties into the previous arc on the main title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 From the source: Wonder Woman reaches target Also, next years summer event is called...War of the Supermen. Although the cover looks nice, and I will be getting the free comic book day issue, I really don't care about the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I will probably skip War of the Supermen if for no other reason than just buying Blackest Night stuff, I've filled up a fair amount of a long box. As for the Wonder Woman thing, kinda happy there. I am a huge fan of the character and I do believe that this is something she deserves.

Dread Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 The length of one and a half edited shows of Mike and my coverage of the series. They didn't even rate it that highly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
