Also does anyone else read Invincible?Also i fell off on Majestic like issue 13 or so...I need to pick that back up...actually i will later on today, been busy with some Civil War catching up.
Invincible is an excellent series. The problem with civil war is it moves the politics of 616 still further away from reality. Genosha was bad enough and had to be removed, now they do this. Ill judges perhaps, like Parker losing his secret identity.

DC lacks on execution with everything 52 is garbage, like the IC ended up being, like all their shit
52 is hardly garbage, its been superior to various headlining Marvel titles, New Avengers and Uncanny X-men come to mind. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't follow it through to the end, although i wish i had gone for the trade option and read it all the way through. In IMO the crisis has been superior to Annihilation and planet Hulk, but i do admit that the so called big event have numerous weaknesses. Anyone that suggests that the quality of D.C. comics has been lacking, really doesn't read enough D.C. The Green Lantern series, Action, Batman, All star Supes, JLA, Legion of Super heroes and Checkmate have all been brilliant, and far more enjoyable than their Marvel counterparts. There are though exceptions; Iron man, Astonishing, Ultimates, Daredevil, and Captain America come to mind. What i think the young girl is referring to are the more abstract comics such as the Runaways, Seven Soldiers, Planetary, Eternal etc. All of which are quality titles but are hardly Mainstream.

And civil war is kicking the shit out of IC.
IC was a huge letdown, I just hope they are worth money soon, so i can sell them.

I can get behind that except for the Batman and Green Lantern being well writen titles at the moment, part and the 52 being superior to... well... anything part.
Well, I got behind most of it.
EDIT: Now I'm off to the dentist!

I know that a lot of people have seemingly 'dissed' the I.C. because of its apparent poor ending (Which really wasn't that bad), but before the 7th issue many where revelling in it. Its FAR,FAR, FAR superior to the critically acclaimed original Crisis and IMO, is up there with the likes of the Secret Wars. You have to realise how hard it is to put together something as 'Big' as the crisis, and i think G.J.'s did an extremely competent job. I agree that the story relied on various fannboygasim, bad ass moments, but so has Annihilation. To say that Griffin is better at planning things than G.J.'s (Whose basically writing every D.C. book at the moment), is absurd. You seem like a cool clever guy so don't loose individualism by following the flock off the cliff.

ALot of people dont enjoy Morissons take on Batman, but i find it extremely readable. Although i have a few qualms with the bat space ship. The G.L. serries has picked up immensly since the start of the Crisis. I love the conspiracy theories involving the Guardians, Cyborg Supes and 52.

Isn't this character you're playing supposed to be a 17 year old girl?

Eh 52 really hasn't been doing anything for me. Its supposed to be answering so many questions fans have had regarding OYL but so far all its doing is dragging on mysteries I've lost interest in weeks ago. Invincible is a fun read. I liked IC, I respect exactly how much planning and thought went into it but I didn't like that the tie-ins were so intregal to the main story and the end was quite lackluster imo. I'm really feeling Civil War cause its seems so real (like a real world analogue), but I'm dissapointed in the handling of the pro-reg guys. For the most part they are villified and this was supposed to be a "fair" thing with no side being completely right or wrong. I do love that Cap is very involved and I'm glad to see him with such a huge role in the MU. Daredevil with Bru is good, so is his Iron Fist. And I'm not really a GL fan but the new series is very good. Other than JSA and JLA I've been pretty underwhelmed by the new DC books.
