  1. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!

    Even thought I have not read any Books of Magic except the 1st mini, and am somewhat confused, I enjoy this book. It is fun discovering as the series progresses just what is going on. I really dig Dean Ostron's unique style.

     

    SO FOR THOSE WHO LIKE THIS BOOK OR ARE INTERESTED: BUY IT!

    KEEP UP THE SALES.

  2. I always got a kick out of Guy as the guy you love to hate. Especially in the Giffin/DeMatties JLA. But I fear he has worn out his welcome. Rogan, if getting rid of Guy and Kyle is the way to keep Hal, so be it.

  3. Actually, I think the road to hackdom is writing too many stories that you don't care about. It's a bit harsh to get on at a bloke for writing things which he's passionate about, even if it means he's writing to a very small audience.

     

    I agree James. In my opinion a writer should not just write anything just for a check. A writer should be writing about what he/she feels passionate about, otherwise what is the point. Maybe with Ellis right now he is passionate about superheroes. He seems to ebb and flow with superheroes.

  4. I am glad that Guy is back to his old self and I am hoping it stays that way. I am a born and raised Hal fan, but still like Guy Gardener, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner and Alan Scott. Each has his place and since the GL Corps is supposed to be an intergalactic police force it makes sense to have more than 1 cop on patrol.

  5. I try to only get trades when I can not find those particular issues and/or for a good price. Example: Marvel Masterworks or DC archives. I also did this with Hellblazer, Sandman, Preacher, and some Lucifer. For me it was easier and cheaper to get caught up this way.

    I highly dislike the trend of packaging up trades almost immeadiatley after a story arc is finished.

    Trades are good for series that have a decernable beginning-middle-end to them, like Sandman, Preacher, Invisibles, Starman.

  6. This whole end of the Avengers is not very good. The art was ok and the story could have been better if Bendis wasnt "phoning it in." I dont mind well know characters dying, or going bad as long as it makes sense. The reasons for Wanda going wacky do make sense a little, but seemed as though Bendis was trying shove it down our throats.

    Here is a good example of major change down well:

    The Thunderbolts. They started off as evil S.O.Bs but have redeemed themselves through a gradually process(that is still going) of becoming heroes that made sense for their personalites.

    With Wanda Benids pushed hard and fast just to get a shock.
