I ready all the other conversations and bubbles sense I can not stand Hal I skim over him just enough to understand the point. Other then that its an ok event, It does seem to be picking up speed finally with this issue. I just miss old events that were not attempting to be smarter then what they are. Smart does not equal long and drawn out, case in point "I Kill Giants" short and to the point and a very smart enjoyable read. By the way thanks for suggesting that as a read !!Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381651518842052607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-87302855386067577462009-12-03T20:55:51.694-05:002009-12-03T20:55:51.694-05:00I hate the new logo because when I was in college ...I hate the new logo because when I was in college it caused the device I constructed to contact the netherworld to explode horribly scarring my face.<br /><br />Also the CMY color scheme burns my retnas, the inset designs are so bland they're nearly invisible, they're hidden even more by the button effect, the slight overlap in the letters is offputting given the perspective given to them, and it's only legible if you already know the site. I'd throw the whole thing out and start over but if you're insistent on the theme then flip the positions of the name and logo in the graphic, change the colors, and lose the embossing effect.Das Übernerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539335724904806813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-40787880019864617092009-12-01T23:03:34.633-05:002009-12-01T23:03:34.633-05:00So far, I've enjoyed Blackest Night in that at...So far, I've enjoyed Blackest Night in that at least the tone of the book isn't an "Earth shattering cataclysm that will change the the core of the DCU forever" like some of the past events. To me, it's more of an Underworld Unleashed or Final Night, rather than a Infinite Crisis or Civil War.<br /><br />As for Hal's characterization, it is grating. But this is a character that was an insurance salesman, a toymaker, a genocidal maniac, and the lamest version of the Spectre ever. I think Johns has to give us a Hal five every once in a while to remind the longtime followers that he's back to being the devil may cry test pilot, and not any of the things people might wish to forget but remember to make fun of. You can't build a franchise around a toymaker. And the Barry Allen line wasn't so bad, but maybe that was my reading of it.<br /><br />As for what I've liked about Blackest Night, it's mainly been the characterization, which is something Johns has made his reputation on. Sinestro, Carol, Atrocious, Larfleeze, and Saint Walker have all been pretty great, and their role has kept me with at least baited interest in the whole affair. Beyond that, a zombie invasion in the DCU is usually just a Thursday.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-63727577681394864222009-12-01T20:25:12.246-05:002009-12-01T20:25:12.246-05:00panel of the week: Ares riding a giant bomb to blo...panel of the week: Ares riding a giant bomb to blow a hole in an underground base!!!

It's true that not a lot happens in each individual issue, but but what does happen usually involved super heroes battling the reanimated corpses of their deceased friends and i find that pretty fucking entertaining, if not Earth shattering.<br /><br />Crap of the Week- Forgetting to pick up ARES #2. Runner up is the latest JSA, but at this point it's my own fault for continuing to buy the stupid book.<br /><br />Book of the Week- DETECTIVE COMICS.

I'm not being the least bit testy, seriously--I like the concept of it, but I'm sure Aaron would tweak it to not make people cringe if there's something specific you don't like (colors, symbols in the letters, font?). That old banner was just pretty trashy.<br /><br />And otherwise thanks for the lovely if racy feedback!Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470728788474088024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256185626038851245.post-51692929417410012352009-11-30T19:49:30.017-05:002009-11-30T19:49:30.017-05:00Hey guys.

I chose this because it was very clean looking and a nice contrast to everything else on the shelves. My crap of this week was the second panel of the last page of Uncanny X-men #517 because well we all feel the same way about TH' Hell. My book was the Chew trade. Had heard good things about the series, I am glad I picked it up. It is an original concept that works well and has fantastic art. I enjoyed this weeks show as always.
