I literally will spend the $25-30 just to have another graphic novel full of Lee art. <br /><br />I don't really like Superman all that much. He's just too...overplayed. In my eyes, anyway. He's like the Spider-Man of DC. He's like the guy everyone thinks of when they think of DC along with Batman. It's kinda cliche.Caz Tidrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393555262824786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-27677547975068570432011-05-22T20:32:42.300-04:002011-05-22T20:32:42.300-04:00By "For Tomorrow," do you mean the Super...By "For Tomorrow," do you mean the Superman storyline? Because if so, I would strongly caution you against that...the art's nice, but the story is absolutely incoherent. In all honesty, it's one of the worst things I've ever read. If you're looking for a good Superman story, I'm sure that either I or someone else here could recommend you something far better!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-77336995154882579272011-05-22T16:54:14.155-04:002011-05-22T16:54:14.155-04:00Yeah, I don't know what is going to happen wit...Yeah, I don't know what is going to happen with DC anymore. I'll stick around long enough to see the end of Flashpoint and then see what happens from there. If they do reboot EVERY comic, I'll probably head on over to Marvel or Image for my comic book needs besides any trades like Lost Days (which I really need to get) or For Tomorrow (which I also really need to get).Caz Tidrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393555262824786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-33519158774820021162011-05-22T11:40:00.785-04:002011-05-22T11:40:00.785-04:00I've heard rumors about a company-wide reboot ...I've heard rumors about a company-wide reboot as well. Between that and the fact that DC is only shipping one comic on the final week of August (the last issue of Flashpoint), I really don't understand their marketing decisions right now.<br /><br />Anyway, you struck on one of the things I really like about Judd Winick in your Power Girl review, JT. I like that he brings in topical issues (in this case, racism towards Arab-Americans) and tells a good story with them without being overly preachy.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-29618606202912591792011-05-22T08:55:44.424-04:002011-05-22T08:55:44.424-04:00I guess.

It was probably the best decision out of every character that's out for DC. Think of every B-, C-, or D-List character that's in the DCU (that's a hero). Which one would be better than Cyborg and be able to work. I think it wasn't a TERRIBLE idea, but it wasn't the best idea.Caz Tidrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393555262824786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-81297146835828348062011-05-22T01:50:45.766-04:002011-05-22T01:50:45.766-04:00Yeah, I'm aware of the whole Project Superman ...Yeah, I'm aware of the whole Project Superman thing but I was referring to how Cyborg took his spot as America's main superhero.

Hence... "Project Superman". I think it's about time Cyborg becomes a major DC character. He deserves it. He hasn't been in much of anything ever since he left the Titans and his JLA co-feature ended.Caz Tidrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393555262824786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-39848881411913203412011-05-21T00:26:10.367-04:002011-05-21T00:26:10.367-04:00I wouldn't mind reboots of SOME things, Wondy,...I wouldn't mind reboots of SOME things, Wondy, Teen Titans, Outsiders and whatnot, but yeah, some books, like the major ones should stay untouched. <br /><br />Well from what I've read Cyborg is the Superman of that universe since Supes never showed up, and that annoys me because I've seen him disassembled like the damn Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz.<br /><br />That is a good point Lisha, a lot of characters don't even have secret identities, or if they do you never really see them assume that role much.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-32714523247785342442011-05-20T22:49:03.469-04:002011-05-20T22:49:03.469-04:00You're welcome JT.

Hell she could've been a brunette, just the fact that she has a secret identity puts her on the level of Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman, three of the greatest.

Just restart with issue 1. Excluding Batman, Superman, Action Comics, and Detective Comics... I could use a Wonder Woman reboot right about now. xD<br /><br />If you read the main 5-issue mini-series, I think #1 is the only issue you see Cyborg as a main character in. And that was to purely set up for the mini-series. I dunno.

And as for the return of Jason Todd, I'm glad he's back. And I don't know what the big fuss is, but I'm loving the red hair. I think it's quite sexy. Lol. <br /><br />Can't wait for next weeks Ratings & Rantings. <br /><br />@ Caz, I really hope DC doesn't decide to revamp stuff. They've already screwed up Wonder Woman. :-\Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-51299788517922519162011-05-19T22:51:30.566-04:002011-05-19T22:51:30.566-04:00Lol, I said I'd finish the mini-series and I s...Lol, I said I'd finish the mini-series and I shall, unlike that DREADFUL Doomsday storyline.<br /><br />I say you pick up the issue I reviewed then X, nice jumping on point and great story, but yeah... Judd is writing the next two then at least the two after that are by a different writer...<br /><br />Thanks for the comment, and no, I shall not discuss it, I'll clutter YOUR blog for that :P<br /><br />Caz - If DC does that, I'll be done with them. I HIGHLY doubt it, I mean, because Batman Inc I'd think has to continue at least, I could see them rebooting Wondy again and Flash I guess but most of that stuff would be pointless, I really hope they don't do that crap. Glad ya liked Flashpoint, but I can't read a comic where Cyborg is the greatest hero in the world, that just irks me.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-24690962445492572492011-05-19T19:54:40.548-04:002011-05-19T19:54:40.548-04:00DUDE. Did you hear about the possibility of DC reb...DUDE. Did you hear about the possibility of DC rebooting all of their series'? I'm not one to believe rumors like this, but I'm kind of scared. No July or August solicitations for Green Lantern ongoing series. Coincidence? I think not. And if they were canceling it, I think they'd tell everyone way ahead of time. Plus just about every other ongoing series is finishing up story arcs or are having epilogues the same month. Again: Coincidence? I think not. <br />But maybe I'm going crazy.<br /><br />Also, I think that I have officially decided Flashpoint is worth the $3.99/issue. I completely understand your lack of faith, but I have to say that you might want to think about checking out some of the issues. But, then again, committing to an event after one issue is crazy so I'm not going to...yet. Hahaha. <br /><br />I cannot wait for the Justice League International series. And this also ties in with the possible reboot of every series... Justice League International, Aquaman, Red Lantern Corps... All starting in the same month (more than likely). I doubt they would randomly decide to start 3 new series on their own... DC isn't THAT bad at business.Caz Tidrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393555262824786367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-44245083270659269362011-05-19T16:50:21.894-04:002011-05-19T16:50:21.894-04:00Check you out feeding the beast with all those GL ...Check you out feeding the beast with all those GL issues next week, JT! For shame...<br /><br />I think we were pretty much right on track with what our thoughts here. I think I was a half-point to a point away from you in both Gates and B&R. I still expect HUGE things from them both, but they def could have been better. I see you're still trying to get me to buy Power Girl... And with awesome scores like that, you may yet win me over! I still think my best bet is to just start picking up PG with whenever the next storyline is and just read your reviews to fill in the blanks. Because otherwise, I'll never get started.<br /><br />Other then that, good stuff as always, although I kind of want to make you talk more about Jason's hair just to get you annoyed! :Px-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.com
