REPRINTED FROM MY blog:

-THIS WEEK'S PULL LIST:
All-Star Superman #4 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely - Jimmy Olsen gets a psychedelic coat! I want a psychedelic coat too! But more like Shade, the Changing Man!
Astonishing X-Men #15 by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday - Where Cassandra Nova makes fun of Beast for still being blue. But, hey screw you, Cassandra, he hasn't yet devolved into a worm!
52 #7 by Oh Dear Lord I'm Not Typing In All Those Names and probably Joe Bennett - Which promises to mix storytelling audacity with characters who'll probably frown the entire time while wearing, in hi-larious contrast, gaudy outfits! Oh, and maybe Booster Gold'll die.
Casanova #1 by Matt Fraction and Gabriel Ba - Which may also involve a psychedelic coat!
Can't Get No by Rich Veitch (released last week) - Even though it doesn't involve Swamp Thing meeting Jesus Christ, I might get this!

Anyting else of note?

ASTONISHING X-MEN #15
NEW AVENGERS #20
ULTIMATES 2 #11

Pretty solid week. I haven't got Eternals, 52 and Flash on my pull list, but I'll probably pick them up, too.

― Oblivious Lad. (Oblivious Lad), Monday, 19 June 2006 19:12 (nineteen years ago)

For me:

52 WEEK 7--oh, man, enjoying this series almost as much as I'd hoped
ALL-STAR SUPERMAN #4--two Morrison comics in one week, and if goddamn 7S had come out it'd have been three
BIRDS OF PREY #95--I'm liking this storyline a lot too
FLASH THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE #1--okay, let's see how this goes
MEGATOKYO VOL. 4--curious what all the buzz is about
ETERNALS #1--as much as I hated 1602, I can't give up on Gaiman
GIANT SIZE HULK #1--this looks like BIG GREEN FUN!
NEW AVENGERS #20--gee, what do we think is going to happen?
ULTIMATES 2 #11--I actually don't KNOW what's going to happen in Millar's "Avengers"
I LOVE LED ZEPPELIN SC--bought this already at MoCCA and really enjoyed it--Ellen Forney's "how-to" comics
MOME VOL. 4--got it already, mostly notable for another amazing David B. story

― Douglas (Douglas), Monday, 19 June 2006 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

"MOME VOL. 4--got it already, mostly notable for another amazing David B. story"

Damn, now I gotta buy that...

Hold up, what's Giant Size Hulk? Is this Planet Hulk supplement, or stand-alone?

why the fuck aren't they bringing out an Essential Eternals to tie-in w/ the Gaiman shit? pre-Slott She-Hulk, who in their right minds wants a collection of that (ditto tony isabella's Champions)??

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Monday, 19 June 2006 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

They're bringing out a high-priced version of the Kirbyternals to tie in w/ the Gaiman shit, that's why.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 19 June 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

I can't seem to resist anything with Essential on it... but will this finally make me say NO!! NOOOO!!

Previously only X-FACTOR and WOLVERINE have had that power. I even bought SPIDER-WOMAN and WEREWOLF BY NIGHT.

I don't get it, why are people talking about Booster Gold dying? This is the second thread in a week.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 07:00 (nineteen years ago)

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT - great great Mike Ploog artwork, occasionally interesting/early attempt at first person narration, degenerate 70s vibe, some issues written by man named Wolfman

SPIDERWOMAN - pretty good Infantino artwork, Claremont+Fleischer scripts that aren't total hackery, some issues written by man named Wolfman

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 07:37 (nineteen years ago)

Is "written by a man named Wolfman" actually a recommendation? I only know him from Crisis, which is how you say terrible.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe.

I got Show Case presents last week - I'm a third of the way through and there's nothing yet to rival the genius of SUPERMAN TURNS INTO A LION.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

Andrew - it just amuses me that a Werewolf comic was written by a man called Wolfman. Soz. Ppl used to think v. highly of Marv's Tomb of Drac run, but gorgeous Colan/Palmer artwork aside, they haven't aged terribly well - ditto Teen Titans and Crisis, which also have the added handicap of George ('can't really draw so I'll add some more rubble/noodling') Perez 'art'. Generally, I wld say that Wolfman = better than Bill Mantlo or Len Wein or Gerry Conway in terms of 70s Marvel hacks, but no more than that.

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

WTF, Ward? Perez certainly has flaws, but the dude is a competent draftsman if nothing else.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

I read Megatokyo when it was merely a webcomic, and while it was funny a bit, the funny part of the once-duo has left, leaving the navel-gazing, self-hating, kind of fanboy who thinks he should move to Japan based on anime in charge.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

EX MACHINA #21
CASANOVA #1 I loved Rex Mantooth, remained solidly on the fence for Last of the Independents, and so hope this is a return to Fraction form (i.e., insanity)
ASTONISHING X-MEN #15 - I don't think Whedon deserves the Eisner for Best New Continuing Series for this, yet I keep buying it.
X-MEN FAIRY TALES #2
WARREN ELLIS BLACK GAS AUXILIARY ED #2 Finally! The cover zombie in the schoolgirl skirt is me. Er, based on me. Really! Buy ten.

― Madolan, Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

Booster Gold is going to fake his death and become Rip Hunter, GeoJo the Po-Faced Boy has been setting this up since JSA #72. OR DID YOU NEVER NOTICE THAT THEY BOTH HAVE BLOND HAIR PARTED TO THE RIGHT?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

WARREN ELLIS BLACK GAS AUXILIARY ED #2

OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS ON THE FIRST READ-THROUGH.

I haven't read Astonishing X-Men at ALL. Is it really that good? I love Firefly, but regard my youthful obsession with Buffy with a cringing embarrassment.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

you got it all wrong kiddo

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Jessie, I think you have that all backwards!

Astonishing X-Men is quite good, especially the current storyline.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, that's fucked up.

Huk, I actually noticed a character who looks IDENTICAL to Booster in the first Showcase Teen Titans - he's the soviet superhero, er, Starfire!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

I mean don't get me wrong, Firefly is fantastic, but feeling embarrassed about loving a vampire highschool melodrama but not a space western is sort of missing the point.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

― 100% CHAMPS with a Yes! Attitude. (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

Jessie - ASTONISHING is can be quite good w/ reservations - mainly the first arc was excellent, the second arc had moments (the broken sentinel scene may be one of my fave moments ever) but was on the whole rather dissatisfying. The current arc began iffy, but the last issue may be one of Whedon's best (he really just nails Cyclops, both in terms of character and crucifixion).

― Richard Baez (Johnny Logic), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

You guys don't seem to understand HOW MUCH I loved it. It's more the heights of fangirldom and not the actual show that has caused most of my embarrassment, I'm sure (I literally haven't seen an episode since I was about 13, so I have no idea on its quality as a program).

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

Dear Buffy Summers,

You rock. You are my favorite superhero even though you don't typically have your dialogue in word ballons or break the sound barrier on a daily basis.

Your fan,

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

Well, to be fair, it's actually $50 / week. And it's my one true vice. Aside from online gambling. And the occasional CD binge. And hookers. And cock fighting. And knifing hobos.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

At least you're not losing money on the hobos.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

have you guys seen that movie COCKFIGHTER?
great film. about this cockfighter who takes a vow of silence until he regains the cockfighter of the year award.

Morrison is a class above Millar or Ellis for me. Theres more imagination and invention in a single issue of AllStar Superman than in the entirety of both Series of the Ultimates. And I get the feeling that if he really wanted to, Morrison could do something just like the Ultimates, just as well.

But I love the Ultimates. Its all been done before in other series or movies, but Millar and Hitch do it so well its exhilarating. It just makes me giggle with fanboy glee every issue.

― David N (David N.), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:07 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah - I'm also inclined toward the "dumb fun" of the Ultimates. 'S like drinkin' a liter of Coca-Cola in fifteen minutes, it is. You feel guilty and have a tummy ache afterwards, but still - Hawkeye kills people with fingernails!!!

― Richard Baez (Johnny Logic), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

MORRISON CAN DO ANYTHING. HE IS MAJIK!!!

― ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ¨ˆ (chaki), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

Probably 99% of anything interesting that's ever been done with Cyclops has been done since Morrison started writing NXM. Before that, he was mostly just a nondescript douche (excluding some of the Jean/Maddie subtext).

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

Although I love Morrison's work, I don't think he can do anything, and I really doubt he coud really pull off something like The Ultimates. It's a really polished and slick genre piece. Morrison is too ADD to do something so focused. I love his ADD digressions, but they're at odds with what Millar does in The Ultimates.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

But he can do focused, slick storytelling. He did it earlier in his career on Zenith and on His Legends of the Dark Knight story (Gothic?). Even in his Judge Dredd run. But now, he gets paid to do Grant Morrison, which he obviously likes to do, too.

Grant Morrison, generally = ADD digressions.

And didn't he write some issues of the last Millar storyline on Authority (which, as Matthew points out above, is very similar to this Ultimates story), leading to their falling out for a while? If I remember correctly, he did an immaculate job at being Millar..

― David N (David N.), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

I would be more impressed with Morrison if he actually did something with all 8 million ideas he flings out in his stories as opposed to blurting out all over the page and then ignoring half of what he just said to focus on plot points (this is why I thought We3 was so awesome).

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 June 2006 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, maybe he does have the ability to focus and I just haven't seen it. I still have yet to read We3 or Zenith. His LOTDK story was kind of dire, though, so I don't know that I'd use that as an example of him doing anything particularly well.

If I knew what parts of his collaborative efforts (Flash, 52, etc.) were all Morrison, that might help me a little in judging his ability in this arena, as those works tend to be a little tighter. I currently suspect that his collaborators (Millar, Waid, Archie Bell) are responsible for the tightening up.

― Deric W. Haircare (Deric W. Haircare), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:06 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, I kinda loathed 'Gothic', the LOTDK story.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:16 (nineteen years ago)

Archie Bell

Bravo, sir.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

All Star Superman was...well...just awesome. I can't believe he made Jimmy Olsen cool. I mean...Jimmy Olsen was born to be cool!!, he's the reader's point of view, he's Superman's best friend and he goes on all these crazy adventures. Well, for the longest time he seemed like a square, but here Morrison distills everything great about him and brings him to the fore without ever making him anything else than "superman's pal".

― Amadeo (Amadeo G.), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

What's the best way to get Zenith that doesn't involve bittorrent?

― asdf, Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

Right!
If I get what Dan means, I think Doom Patrol did those things. (Have you tried it, S1ocki?) He's a little more, uh, freeform these days, but I still love it.
But does he do anything at all in 52?

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Thursday, 22 June 2006 21:56 (nineteen years ago)

i like doom patrol and animal man lots.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

ME TOO.

ALSO: I want ALL STAR JIMMY OLSEN to have my kids.

― Richard Baez (Johnny Logic), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Gothic did sort of suck. But I couldn't really think of anything else to back up my point, which suggests it wasn't the best point in the first place.

But We3 - of course...

― David N (David N.), Thursday, 22 June 2006 23:16 (nineteen years ago)

Doom Patrol seems like the most ADD comic he did! I think he's perfectly capable of doing straight, perfectly streamlined plot (see E is for Exctinction), it just bores him (see Animal Man). I think he would feel like he wasn't doing his job if he tuned down the number of ideas and would probably see developing his ideas as a cop-out.

― asdf, Thursday, 22 June 2006 23:48 (nineteen years ago)

CASANOVA!

Do pick up, per my recommendation. An updated Jerry Cornelius, for our time.

― Richard Baez (Johnny Logic), Friday, 23 June 2006 00:42 (nineteen years ago)

OH GOD ASS IS GOOD

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 23 June 2006 01:08 (nineteen years ago)

No! No, absolutely not. All you have to do is read New X-Men, and then Astonishing X-Men, and there you go.

No see, that's exactly what I did, and that's all you need to understand what's happening, I'm just saying that you need another 20 years service before you give a shit about him, is all.

I don't think that Morrison investigating what he means by all his throwaway ideas would improve his work at all. I can't see how it would, apart from completely losing the plot.

I do agree that he can't do just anything. Though I think sometimes that Alan Moore can.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 23 June 2006 07:02 (nineteen years ago)

Also ASS is compeletly fantastic, to the point where I'd almost quit comics when it ends.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 23 June 2006 07:05 (nineteen years ago)

I think a problem with Grant Morrison now is that he believes his hype a bit too much, and so he feels like he has to be this Mad Idea Machine, and that's his brand. I don't think he could do something like Ultimates 2 if he tried - he's not that good with structure, for one thing. Ultimates 2 is pretty conventional, but it is also refined and knows exactly how to push the readers' buttons. I feel like Morrison is too wrapped in himself to be working almost entirely in the service of the audience's satisfaction, as Millar does.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Friday, 23 June 2006 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

Well, as Dan pointed out, he can do simple stories, eg We3. He just doesn't, often. I admit I see The Ultimates as 'less' than most of Morrison's work, but that's because I can see, for most of the stuff he writes, how it could still be a really good story if he dropped the extra elements. Some of them, eg The Filth & The Invisibles, are complicated by design.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 23 June 2006 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

You know, I would think that a far better example of Grant Morrison doing a simple story would be Kill Yr Boyfriend, since that's y'know, probably the best thing the man's ever done aside from the final issues of Doom Patrol and Animal Man.

― Matthew Perpetua! (Matthew Perpetua!), Friday, 23 June 2006 11:13 (nineteen years ago)

(My point re: the million ideas was very oblique; it was meant to be "stop doing that unless you're going to do something with it, and since it's practically impossible to do anything with it, STOP DOING IT because the stories I've read where you don't do that are an order of magnitude better".)

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Friday, 23 June 2006 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

I think you (Matt and Dan) have shifted from "I prefer" to "is better", which is a shame because you're both wrong :)

Morrison is someone who pushes all my comics-reading buttons -affected affection, millions of ideas, engagement with pop culture, really nice and fitting (tho of course not neccesarily neat) endings. I like when he drops various aspects of this in and out of the mix, like he's been doing with the miniseries, I really like it when he turns all of them on at the same time - there's basically nothing by him that I haven't enjoyed. But the ideas are basially another switch which is on or off in his comics - they don't have to serve or obscure the rest of the story, they're an end in and of themselves.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Friday, 23 June 2006 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

My other point re: Morrison would be "WTF were you thinking with Mr. Miracle???????"

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Friday, 23 June 2006 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

Does anyone else think Jimmy Olsen in bra is a nod to Miller's Vicky Vale in underwear?

Also, every show with GINA TORRES in it is automatically better than any show without her.

Do you mean you watched M.A.N.T.I.S. also?

four months pass...

No idea if there's a dedicated assy new Flash thread, but this is the best I can find. So tv guys are done after issue 8, according to Newsarama, and new fella Guggenheim apparently thinks he's some kinda comedian or something: "I've been made privy to some of DC's long-term plans -- and from Infinite Crisis, we all know how long-term these guys think".

Start a FLASH thread! This Guggenheim = Marc, the TV dude doing it to Wolverine & Blade currently?

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 13 November 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

yep, the very same Guggenheim. I figured there had to be a Flash thread somewhere, despite not being able to find one, and didn't want to create a duplicate, so I went with the first found thread that could even remotely apply.
