It's one of those great stories where Batman sinks to a really, really low point but then comes back at the end and kicks ass. Plus, he fights a shark!<br /><br />Also, I'm gonna have to do a Batman/DD Amalgam now. :)Paul Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139741602510560760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-2493155170589809972010-09-27T14:15:10.334-04:002010-09-27T14:15:10.334-04:00X - Thanks dude, and I don't know what it is a...X - Thanks dude, and I don't know what it is about Captain Marvel, maybe it's that he's just a kid but he can stand toe to toe with Supes. Or the fact he kinda got screwed over by that wizard, haha. He just seems like a good read and a fun series that could also get serious when necessary. Plus more Cap Marvel means more Black Adam!<br /><br />Kello really did go all out, and I loved his picks, hell I'd pay to see Geo-Torch! And how X forgot Jamie I'll never know, I was positive he'd make your list.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-8500905633767683962010-09-27T12:54:51.760-04:002010-09-27T12:54:51.760-04:00Stryfe is just such a one-note character...his who...Stryfe is just such a one-note character...his whole schtick is that he's an evil version of Cable. But don't worry, I don't think of him on the same level as Gambit or anything! (That would be pretty difficult...) In fact, if I could do it all over again I'd probably replace him with Scrier or Rhino or Typhoid Mary.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-83869491277838809642010-09-27T01:37:43.119-04:002010-09-27T01:37:43.119-04:00Great post this week, JT(not that any of your othe...Great post this week, JT(not that any of your other posts aren't, you know, great...). First off, what's with all the Captain Marvel love??? I've never really gotten what the big deal with him is all about. So he's a kid who says "Shazam!" and is super-powerful. He's always seemed like such a bore(except in Kingdom Come). Would someone PLEASE straighten me out with him. You know, do the whole, "Jeez X, he's awesome because..."<br /><br />I love how Kello went all out in the Amalgam category. Not only does he have the two characters, he has names and back stories! Nice work Kello!<br /><br />I don't know HOW I forgot to put Jamie Reyes and Beast Boy on my hate list... That's an epic oversight on my part. ESPECIALLY Jamie! And one last thing, I can see Marc and I will be having some words next week during our AIM chat... Picking Stryfe as a character he'd never be a fan of! For shame!! :P<br /><br />PS, Sadly I'd buy every issue of the House of Gambit x-over. I'd complain the whole time, but I would buy it...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-76896370919753807512010-09-26T17:57:28.164-04:002010-09-26T17:57:28.164-04:00I would wish for Gambit to die, but I'm afraid...I would wish for Gambit to die, but I'm afraid that would only make things worse. They'd intevitably turn it into a giant crossover event (House of Gambit?).<br /><br />And then they'd resurrect him in a 12-issue Gambit Reborn miniseries. :|Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-45910383961192200342010-09-26T17:48:44.544-04:002010-09-26T17:48:44.544-04:00Marc - I recall hearing about Venom, isn't tha...Marc - I recall hearing about Venom, isn't that where Bats slapped Alfred or something when he was taking the Venom drug?<br /><br />Kello - I actually thought the same thing for the poll as you, but one could argue that Daredevil could be a Yellow Lantern because he instills a fair amount of fear, but as a man with no fear I guess he would be a good GL. I voted for Grayson, I'd say he's more Will powered, Tim would be Hope, Jason's Rage. <br /><br />I want a Captain Marvel comic so bad, I'm hoping it comes from the stuff with Osiris in Brightest Day, since they mentioned them. And Thanks Kello, I'm glad you guys like the Top Five 5 and love participating.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-14097667180421354162010-09-26T17:25:17.069-04:002010-09-26T17:25:17.069-04:00I should have voted for a Deadpool/Hitman amalgam!...I should have voted for a Deadpool/Hitman amalgam! I can see how Paul has so many different ideas on his site, because it's fun to mix them together. <br /><br />These were really interesting categories and picks! A lot of the picks that were sent in were actually characters I considered, but didn't feel strongly enough towards to include, such as X-23 in the "never be a fan of" section. I'm also wondering when DC is going to get this Captain Marvel stuff in gear for us.<br /><br />Marc, your picks have me cracking up. I think that Gambit collection you reviewed may have scarred you for life...<br /><br />As far as the poll, I picked DD. Grayson seems driven by hope more than will. Deadpool seems like an Orange lantern, and Tim strikes me as a Green or Blue Lantern too, but not as clearly as DD. I don't think Daredevil hopes for things anymore (after all the dead or insane ex-girlfriends), he just doesn't know how to give up.<br /><br />Thanks again JT! I'm looking forward to the Top 5's more and more everytime you have them.Kellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968990603380238489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48216256150911703.post-81914415185324870142010-09-26T17:01:22.464-04:002010-09-26T17:01:22.464-04:00Interesting picks, people.
