The writer isn't treating women as equals, but rather treating them as inferior by removing all the males from the series or having them appear as little as possible, mixing that with the killing off of Renee Montoya, one of the strongest lesbians in Dc, along with demoting Capt Sawyer, another of them, and making out like Flamebird is an inexperienced weak little girl when she should be on equal ground as Nightwing in terms of experience and such. The whole thing reeks of insecure bad writing from a writer that doesn't know how to portray characters right nor treat the material with respect to the history of the characters.

By the way... I haven't read this month's Batwoman, but last month they pretty much killed Flamebird (with a small chance of survival) and had Sawyer act completely out of character.


As far as Teen Titans. Lobdell is hit or miss I find and the throwing new characters in was obviously a mandate rather than anything creative. Another thing to consider is that some books are only good if you look at them from a given perspective... which is what Lobdell's writing for Red Hood is... I hope that it a completely meta rip on the whole of the DCnU because it reads perfectly as that, but it could very well just be a horrible book too.


As far as Damian... I have read most of what he's in... I like him, but not with that writer and not with Bruce. Damian should be with Nightwing as everyone thought would happen because Damian is a bad fit with Bruce, but a great fit with Nightwing. That type of thing is really telling of DC in general that they don't understand how things work and why some things are better and others are worse.


As far as Nightwing... Don't read it >.> it's a series of arcs that are ok, but then the creative team changes or there is a mandate and everything is dropped or changed. Nightwing in general is one of the worst comics as a whole due to the entire enterprise that is DC, the writers, editors, and corporation. Basically, Dick is intertwined with Batman always and will never get away from his connection with Bruce no matter what happens because all the people at DC keep dragging them back together while all the other Batfamily are allowed to go off with their own things... Tim Drake was less effected by the events in Batman comics than Nightwing was while they both had titles and Nightwing was supposed to be living in another city and not working with Bruce at all.

Also you have to take into account conservative print runs and comic shops. Comic shops are likely buying no more than double what they usually do while they have several times that coming in to pick up titles and thus why they are selling out.

As far as 2nd issue it's in the psyche of some new people to go get them and give them the benefit of the doubt. however that doesn't mean that in the long run they will sell better and might in fact sell worse considering they aren't creating habit for most of those new reader and the old reader are leaving.

I do like season 6 Sam's "What?! Me? I'm not hiding anything! Why would do you think I'm a cold-hearted ******* now? Nooo, everything's fine!" >.>

Surprising!, but he can do psychotic very well. I'd say that this comment;
means possibly a jekyll & hyde duality for the character, and seeing this is high school spidey i'm going with Marvel finally getting the Lizard out there.

I mean Under the Red Hood still hasn't gotten lost yet and usually the last one gets lost and found in between each release...

And as some may or may not have caught my arguement within a few threads, concept=gimp.

They don't want a small buff because it ruins their concept.

Their concept is to be gimp.

That'll do 'er.

To point: How do you feel about people who could have taken an ally resurrect power - as in, it was in their powerset - but chose not to? I realise the easy answer to that is "their build, their call," but can you be certain you will feel the same way when things go bad, you're lying there dead and the guy is shrugging his shoulders, going "Well, I didn't really build for team support?" Because that's what I'm looking at right now.

Let me explain.

I'm not a team player, and as such would not really have access to ally-only power, but I'm a fan of Masterminds nonetheless. Over the years, I've done what I can to avoid sets like Poison which had ally-only powers I couldn't use on my henchmen (WHY?!?), but with the advent of Demon Summoning in the very near future, I really HAVE to start thinking about using sets like these - namely Thermal, which even for Masterminds comes with an ally-only resurrect power.

Now, I don't WANT this power, because I don't intend to play on a team, and as such it will constitute an empty pick, something I'm not a big fan of. Considering I might end up with other things I want to take, it seems only fare to skip powers I don't feel I'll almost ever need. On the other hand, I worry that this will turn me into some kind of pariah in the eyes of my fellow heroes and villains, like the oft-discussed people who didn't take "key" powers from their sets.

Basically, unless I end up with a power pick and NOTHING to take, I don't want to take an ally-only resurrect power. Is that an acceptable move to make?

Judging from this thread, folks all have their own justification for it and that's cool but purples don't factor heavily into most people's builds, period.

And some others just said it was ok but just ok. I was curious and so I made a traps/dual pistol defender. It was the best fun since my fire/device blaster. I really like the DP powers and the animation. I rarely miss and I do have nice damage. At least my defender can solo missions instead of relying on others to help. I'm not sure I would like a DP blaster. My defender feels more like a blaster then a defender that is for sure. I would recommend the build to anyone.
