  1. Wolf Moon #1-Man, Vertigo has gone downhill.

    This is about as generic if a werewolf story as you can get.

    What makes it "mature"? Simply the blood and violence, something Vertigo tried to steer away from. Not graphic scenes, but the fact of a book being mature solely for the sake of lots of gore.

    If you're looking for a werewolf horror story with nothing new to say about the monster, by all means check this out.

    This isn't something I could see Vertigo bothering with just a few years ago, and the line is otherwise so thin. Asteo City isn't really a "Vertigo" title. Unwritten is over. They're still milking Sandman properties. Names is pretty good, but it's just a mini-series. Adding books that aren't worthy of the old Vertigo name isn't helping.

     

    Just the way He Who Shan't Be Named wanted it.

  2. i do not know why, but i envision here saying something along the lines: "...like there was this big guy, like really big and he was just like uh... i can't even..."

    Heh!

     

    Suprisingly, this may be the only Berlanti-DCU outfit reveal that pleases me. The one for Arsenal is almost close and The Flash cowl was spot on (before we had the misfortune of seeing the rest of it

  3. I found this quote from Trank very telling.

     

    "As for Johnny's sister Sue (Kate Mara), she'll be more than just a pretty face. "There have always been two categories of Sue - the slutty secretary version, and this brilliant scientist version. This is a really, really smart Sue, and one that is dignified and has integrity."

     

    I haven't read FF in a long time, but I'm not sure slutty secretary is a Sue Storm trope i recognize.

     

    Not to mention damning. Susan Storm-Richards was not conceived as "the slutty secretary" in 1961 and she damn well never be.

  4. Hey, tonights episode was really good.[ Spoiler : I loved that we got Aaron and Eric directly from the comic exactly how they were portrayed in the comic. But I wonder how many redneck walking dead fans freaked out when they kissed. This was a really good adaptation of the comicbook story, I think. With the 'we are trhe walking dead' speech last episode, it's kinda cool that they are choosing to do the Alexandria storyline from the comic. I'm interested to see what characters they use, if they use anymore. Jesus, Maybe? He's gay too. And will Neegan be that far off? A meaner governor with a townful of followers? ]

     

    That plus Carl getting his eye shot. Though given the show's mojo, I wouldn't mind them giving that moment to Daryl just to see his fangirls go apeshit

  6. Whatever else happens in future, we can now say that we've seen a TV show in which John Constantine asks an angel to hold his cock for him while he has a piss under a bridge and then lights a cigarette and walks off into the rain, trench coat flapping in the wind. Which is nice.

     

    yep. that scene was as much john constantine as it gets. and if that is the end, it is a somewhat fitting one. would youu rather have john take a piss and walk out, or have him in a bar with milligan?

     

    That ending was ace. I kinda guessed that was where it was heading, but still really cool. [ Spoiler : However, I don't think Manny's actually a head honcho in Hell, but rather a more Gabriel-type. He probably still thinks he's doing good. To back this up: John's magic circle didn't hinder him in the episode with Imogen. ]

     

    the real question is: what does he want with john? i mean he is not THE john constantine. as in: not the guy that can walk into a little bar like 'bewitched' and make everyone there piss their pants just by lighting a cigarette. not yet. still it seems an odd thing to do, putting john amidst your end game scheme.

     

    Thank you, seventh for reminding me why I should give Milligan the Steranko

  7. Coat is long

     

    Yup and Cerone did say Matt wanted a longer coat and he got it. Seeing how great he looks in it made me wish they gave it to him sooner rather than later.

     

    Plus it's much in line with tons of depictions of John in various trenchcoats (depending on the artist) as it is amusing to see the show go about this route sans the "there can be only one" gag Ennis and Nergal...erm... Milligan enforced

  8. Black Tulip? I don't think there's any problem there. It's an odd thing to specify at script-level, but it doesn't mismatch with any parts of her character that I can think of. It might make Jesse's flirtation with Cindy in Salvation seem slightly odd, but my guess is that whole section won't be in this anyway.

    Which is no different from Daryl taking up Tyresse's comic role as Rick's right hand man while the character became a meltoast pacifist that may as well sit in the kids table of poor characterizations w/ Lori, Andrea, Laurel Lance, and Barbara Kean. They basically pulled a Berlanti albeit merging her and Tulip as one thus either no need for Cindy to exist (and as you said that particular section) or they'll give her a different characterization to distinguish her from Tulip

  9. he's a big fan of the comic, so I don't have a problem with it. a fan will do the comic justice, not just give lip service to being a fan like Francis Lawrence or Zach Snyder. or Joel Schumacher.

     

    The lip service may still be intact now know certain changes to a certain female character going by Bleeding Cool reports
