    I liked her too, but even I could admit that at times she looked rather...waifish..

    Hey, if they aren't CCA approved anymore, anything can happen...

    Well, one of the DC guys said he never wants to see Supergirl's panties again, iirc. The cynic in me says, "Well, she could always go commando then...". Or maybe teach your artists how to draw scenes such that she isn't flashing the viewer. It might also be a way of moving away from the rather too-skinny look that she's had for a while.

    Harley looks more like Arkham Asylum Harley than anything else.
  4. Ya know what this reboot is starting to look like?

    But you'll note that he maintains his leaping-style of artwork. However, this is offset by an actual background and not just some color explosion.

    He shouldn't "have to", but if it's the choice between not being able to get them and being able to get them...

    And hey, just giving him an idea to try. It's pretty doubtful that they'd be able to unblock whatever IP range is being blocked inside of a week.

He and Sterling have really brought the momentum that you need to launch a book."
    I also have fond memories of sitting down and watching Knight Rider when I was a kid. Doesn't mean I can sit down and watch it now without groaning at the cheesiness factor of it...

    I don't read any Gawker sites anymore. Not since they went to that screwy, completely unnecessary, and ugly revamp of everything.

    But good doG, this revamp sounds ever more trainwrecky every day...

  10. No, no see, you have it wrong. In about three years, Bruce won't be Batman. In five years, he'll go back to being Batman after they cluster-**** everything up again and have to resort to another universe-wide reboot.
  11. Why does Wonder Girl look like she should be playing red-side rather than blue?

    That it's a higher magnitude of released energy? Only thing I've got. *shrug*

    I just thought was interesting and worth sharing. I probably agree with your general interpretation, though.
    Except the boss of the bad guys was a white guy both times and his number 2 was a white woman both times and that the leaders of the people that attacked both factions of mutants were white.

    However, look at the mutants as a whole. You are not seeing any of the traditional discrimination amongst them. Given the time frame of the movie, namely early 60's, is fairly rare.

    I could make a joke here, but I choose the high road and won't...

  15. Ok, thank you very much everyone for the infos. Trying to figure out where/what I need to order. >.< doG, when did buying comics get so frickin' labor intensive...

    Okie dokie. Do you know about the pocket manga TPBs? Are they all in b&w or do they share the color bits?
  17. That's just it though, for comics like that, I couldn't stand reading 'em on a computer. Would rather have the trades/issues than a CD.

    So Sho...is it in black & white?

    Is that really a valid observation though? I mean, in the context of the movie, ALL the mutants are a "minority". Subdividing based on skin color is no more valid in that situation than subdividing based upon powers.

    Then we have the fact that there were 3 that switched sides, Angel, Raven, and Erik. Of those three, only one would be considered a "minority" by current definition. One of the remainder was white and the other saw herself as a white girl. Raven would technically be "blue", of which 50% went evil and 50% stayed good.

    On the good team, we have Darwin and Beast. One is a traditional "minority" and the other became one of two people on the planet that shared that skin color.

    You could even say that there was a third minority that stayed good...namely the ginger.
  19. Something else...

    Is the pocket manga in color or b&w? What about the individual issues (same question)?

    THAT'S where I've seen that guy before! Yes, he was a good Leto II. How I wish SciFi had had the cahones to make God Emperor and Heretics of Dune...

  22. Saw this series mentioned in Foamie's thread, but needed some clarification.

    Does anyone know the publication order or the series order? I've looked it up on Amazon, but a little confused as to which is the starting point for the TPBs.

    Can't talk about the game based upon DC properties. But that's about it, unless you've got something specific from a mod saying talking about comic books in the comic book forum is now verboten.
  24. When do I get my voidhawk to go raid some antimatter stations?
