Any of the books starring Death are great. 'Mort', 'Reaper Man', 'Hogfather'.

Which makes perfect sense in that setting. Transformers are mechanical organisms. Voltron is nearly magical in nature. I don't think they SHOULD look like practical machines. They should look fantastical and alien.

Now the point about appealing to the larger audience carries more weight (as disappointing as it is). Though I WILL point out that you don't HAVE to use the popular style. It's riskier not to, sure, but look at games like Bioshock.

The trouble is that what works in a piece of static art does not always work as well when in motion.

The designs for the Transformers movies weren't really bad, but in motion were just too confusing. Plus I just don't think Voltron should look so..... cobbled together. More Iron Man, less Blade Runner.

Overlord surprised me.

I mean, rogue AI/VI were nothing new to the series, but the hovertank is always fun and the corpses strewn about while creepy computer faces shouted at you created a good atmosphere.

And then Shepard pushes the button and things got VERY interesting.

A neat little twist to the mission and a quite moving ending and choice really sold that arc.


P.S.
Armless droid running about. Did everyone pull the Renegade trigger?

Yeah, I cracked up pretty good at that one.

I must be a genetic anomaly or something. I keep hearing this argument from people who've "lost interest in mainstream comics", and find myself at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

I WANT Batman to continue on. Having Bruce retire or die and focusing on his heir would turn me off the book completely (unless it were a 'what if' story; I love those). I want the X-Men I know and love to stick around. I don't need exact timelines. I just want to see my favorite heroes partaking in the high adventure that they do so well.

The tone of the "don't read Marvel/DC" posts always seem so condescending; implying that I should feel ashamed of my love of these "lesser" comics.

Well screw you all!

I love my comics; continuity errors and all. Frequent resurrections and confusing backstories? Who cares, as long as I get the chance to laugh at Spidey's one-liners, marvel at Batman's resourcefulness, or cheer on Wolverine as he does what he's best at (appearing in multiple titles? ).

So suck on that, anime snobs. You can't stop the Comic Revolution. We'll never say die, we'll never give up, and we'll never.....



Wait, they did WHAT to Spidey and MJ?



YOU COMIC BOOK B******S!!!

Did they change Mystique?

I mean, I know they kinda did in that X-Men Forever mini, but that's pretty much been forgotten about.

Ah, I see.

So when I say that I enjoy more DC and Marvel comics than anime stories, I'm NOT just expressing my personal preference. I'm actually committing a falsehood.

Good to know how incredibly wrong I am about my own opinions.

Ah, so you have hard data for this then.


"'Opinions'? What are those?"

And I've seen ****ing awful anime. What's yer point?

Yeeeaaaaaahh....... no.

Indeed.

X3 was not a financial failure. It DID make money.









AT THE COST OF MY SOUL!!!

Actually, that's EXACTLY what I want.

Let's not forget that this is his World War II costume. I expect an update once he gets to modern times.

You still have hope?

That's impressive.

Which roots are those?

Our British roots?

Our Native American roots?

Should I be farming or something?


But seriously, I watch the anime I like and don't watch the stuff I don't. Kinda like every other form of media. Younger kids tend to like anime for it's tendency toward angst and ultra-violence; sorta like comics in the 90s. Once their tastes mature they have a more pragmatic outlook on things, so I don't see any problem.

And yes, Japan absolutely loves our stuff. Westerns are a particular favorite, as evidenced by Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. They also have X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, and quite a few others over there as well. Why do you think everyone looks so frickin' white in anime?

As for iconic characters; ummmm... there's Astro Boy. Hmmmmm.... Speed Racer's pretty well known. Megaman, though that's more due to the game. Does Hello Kitty count?

In any case, I'm all for mixing things up with other countries. The more intertwined we are, the less likely we'll want to blow each other to smithereens.

I'm curious as to when the last time you watched the Adam West show, cause I can guarantee that it out-camps Brave & the Bold by a HUGE margin.

I'll tell ya what you get!

Get enough coins and buy two new bonus powers; the 'Power of Love' and the 'Power of Understanding'.

Yes, but I don't have an unhealthy fixation on Alex.



Wait, I mean.... um....
