Quote from: Jumpman
Grant Morrison (current Batman writer) all but confirmed that we would see more stories involving Bruce Wayne in the near future. And remember, Darkseid hit him with the "Omega Sanction", a beam that sends the user to a place where he\'s forced to live out life after life in hell. Also displaced The Forever People and Sonny Sumo in different time periods. So yeah, not completely dead.

Dick is definitely the new Batman soon.

I was trying to explain to someone here at work that bruce isnt really dead... he\'s just "anti-life" now.

And yeah, I think it\'s gonna be Dick, too.

Which is cool with me.

Battle for the cowl should be interesting... But I\'m REALLY looking forward to Neil Gaiman and "what ever happened to the caped crusader".


Final Crisis 7 tomorrow! As much as the series has confused the shit out of me I\'m stoked to read the conclusion.

Got Kingdom Come, Superman For All Seasons, Silver Surfer Requiem, and Final Crisis 7.

Not gonna lie, I know pretty much everything about the DCU but even I needed to immediately reread the issue to fully understand it and I\'m still (intentionally by Morrison probably) left in the dark on some things.

Pretty fucking epic though.

I\'m just gonna wait a read the whole thing 1 - 6 again then 7. I like Morrison... I really do, but I think he HAS to know when he comes up with this shit that he is probably the only person in the world who fully understands it... Maybe he gets off on that.

I just ordered Stray Bullets volume 2. An oldie from my favorite writer David Lapham. I also found out he had a run on Detective Comics that they put into a TPB called "Batman - City of Crime" so I ordered that too.


Today my list was....


Final Crisis 7
Star Wars Legacy 32
The Stand 5
Punisher War Zone 6

I would usually be getting Batman too, but this whole catwoman/Hush thing just doesnt interest me at all.


If you haven\'t read The new Punisher War Zone... Do it.

It\'s a 6 issue miniseries that ended today.

Nobody writes The Punisher like Garth Ennis.

Widmore revelation=sickly awesome.

The Batman issue was pointless if you didn\'t follow Heart of Hush. It accomplished making Hush a legit villain again, if nothing else.

The Z button on my Wavebird button broke. Can\'t hack grab people and items in Smash Melee anymore. Very sad, 6 years of solid service.

I read Heart of Hush.. And liked it. I\'ve always liked Hush... I dunno. Just didnt feel like picking up the issue.

I actually skimmed through it at the shop enough to get what happened. So whatever whatever.

Anybody pick up ultimatum?....It\'s a pretty interesting storyline involving magneto from the ultimate series. A few heroes have died already and what happened to the wasp was really f**ked up. I wonder how they plan to bring some of those heroes back since they killed off quite a few in only the first couple of issues.

And jumpy I just received silver surfer requiem as well....i\'m going to have to get the back issues on that one. I only have the first issue, but the dilema that the surfer is going thru is a bit disheartning and sad...the surfer is a really cool character.

Ultimatum=Jeff Loeb=POOP. God he\'s fucking ruining comics with shit like Ultimates 3 and Hulk.

That being said I just bought Superman: For All Seasons, which was written by him...but he\'s got his butt buddy Tim Sale backing him up, and they always produce quality comics.

What\'s the consensus on the best kind of Doritos? I\'m all about the spicy.

It really takes something special for me to read a super hero comic.

My two favorite books right now are The Walking Dead (all-time favorite) and Young Liars.


I don\'t really like Doritos... But if I had to choose I would say ranch.

You kidding? Spicy food is the shit. When I get chicken wings, I get the hottest ones you can get. When I make quesadillas, I load it up with hot sauce. Just gotta be careful where you eat spicy food though. Don\'t want to get the runs at the wrong time. Which is why I don\'t eat that stuff on dates :)

I love sour and spicey foods but man, hot wings...too far.

I remember at university I wanted to try them out. I ordered them and when I received these bad boys I could feel my eyes tearing up. I decided to eat them back in my dorm room in case I wimped out and what a smart decision that turned into. Could barely stomach one. It burned my throat and especially my lips since it was cold and dry Canadian weather. Brutal, 7 wings, threw em all out. My lips feel like they\'re going to burn just remembering them...

Something about Kirkman\'s writing bothers me. The way he uses captions in Invincible titled me to no end. I only read one issue of Walking Dead, and hate the fact that its black and white. When I buy a comic, I expect the art to be pretty enough to enjoy in itself without the words. The issue I read was 48 and everyone died so yeah I have no real interest in unrealistic massive zombie death stories anymore. Fucking hate zombies I\'m probably going to have another zombie dream tonight and I BLAME YOU.

Dunno how you can ignore superhero comics. Some great stories exist in worlds with no budgets and limitations. Grant Morrison obviously writes the shit out of Batman and in my mind All-Star Superman is the greatest story of the decade. Anything Geoff Johns writes is usually gold. Green Lantern is considered by many to be the best monthly comic right now. Kingdom Come and Watchmen are probably the best piece the medium ever produced.

The only non superhero stories I own are Y: Last Man (fucking brilliant), Invisibles...I think that\'s it.

Grant Morrison\'s "Batman R.I.P" was fucking terrible. I much prefer anything Paul Dini touches. That shit is pure gold.

Geoff Johns also turns anything he touches to gold.
