QUOTE (RaiderDave2112 @ Jun 3 2009, 09:44 AM)  I wasn't that much of a Green Lantern fan, in fact to be honest the only time I read anything with him in it was in the JLA comic. I started getting the JLA when they did the relanch with the White Martians where they pretended to be an alien race that made the JLA look bad and had a base in the Antartic, which was really a abandoned Martian city, I stopped collecting around the "Storm of Crows" storyline. You're talking about Grant Morrison's relaunch of JLA. I read it from the White Martian storyline until "The Rock of Ages." 16 issues or so of sheer brilliance. And then it got really, really stupid. But I still say the editors at DC should've just went ahead and allowed Zauriel to become the new Hawkman. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

It was a valiant effort, trying to tie in all of the various incarnations of Supergirl into one character, but it fell short of that goal. Same thing happened with Hawkman, if you were ever into that character. That shit got nuts... -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

The only charaters from DC I really enjoyed enough to buy were Batman, Supergirl and various Vertigo Titles. I did buy a number of Superman graphic novels as I just didnt fancy buying 10 or so comics just to follow one story line, which is one of the main reasons I stopped collecting Batman and just started getting graphic novels. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

When did you collect Batman? They stopped that crossover shit a loooooong time ago. Superman still does it, though, which I think is pretty ridiculous. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

Oh, sure, but at least if you only bought one title, you didn't miss any of whatever story you were reading. I hated how Superman's set up... one book would have a good artist and a good writer, another book would have a crap artist and a good writer, and the other would have a good artist and a crap writer. That irritated me. DC got so convoluted, anyway, I didn't really mind not getting "the whole picture." Shadow of the Bat was my favorite Batman title, but that was probably because of the pulp covers. And, seriously, DC needs to stop that massive once-a-year crossover. I got tired of it after the one with Neron. DC One Million was okay, but only because it felt more like a JLA mini than an actual crossover. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

Oh, I hear ya... I thought you meant the "perpetual crossover" like Superman does. I actually dropped all of my Batman titles right before "No Man's Land." The entire concept didn't interest me. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

i used to be into the comic scene... not so much anymore though... cut my teeth on DC titles such as supes and batman... On the DC side, there were two series that really were some of the best, The Legion of Super Heroes and The Teen Titans (way before the team was neutered by the cartoon)...
In particular, from the mid eighties --> Legion of Super Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga and Teen Titans:The Judas Contract and the Terror of Trigon (both butchered by the cartoon network)... --------------------  |

I've got a ton of old 70s and 80s-era LSH books... back in the day when it was still apparently okay to call everyone "lad" and "lass." Never really got into TT, though I did pick it up for a bit when the Atom was the leader of the team... which sucked, oh by the way. It's really sad that Paul Dini and Bruce Timm didn't get their LSH series that they wanted to do. That would've been awesome. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.

I read his bio and prior to coming to DC as a VP of Marketing, the ass had no comic book experience whatsoever. I guess that explains the plethora of dead characters coming back to life lately. Have you seen the zombie storyline they're doing now? Ugh.
