    She's recently single and the friend who she is a friend of said "you should definitely ask her out but give it some time because even though it was definitely coming it's still obviously kind of a big deal."

    So I am going to do that

    we got on really well though and she said that I should come out with them next week which was nice

    I will not lie part of the reason that I posted about it was because I am kind of excited about it!

    Go get 'em, Solar!

    It wouldn't be that hard to fix the X-Men movie universe. Just bring in Bishop, and his goal is to undo the events of X-3. It would work on so many levels...

    Then in the next movie, have the X-Men go to the Savage Land. X-Men vs. dinosaurs is a sure fire win.

    Time travel is never, ever the answer. I'll give the Star Trek reboot half a point for almost pulling it off, but that's it.

    Terminator and Terminator 2 had time travel in them (technically) and it worked just fine

    TexiKen wrote: »
    I do agree that it seems like Aja is telling Brett Booth "dude, fuck off" with that #2 cover (it took more than 3 hours I bet!).

    I bloody well hope he is. I know Brett Booth knows his dinosaurs - I liked him for it, but not for this - and I can imagine the whinging he hints at when he sees man-in-suit dinos with bunny hands (much the same whinging as I'd do). So he ignores any kind of empathy or understanding, turns it around, and throws a paddy in 'public' like a child. Way to be pro, guy.
    And the correct way to hold a bow is a lot easier to research than correct, up-to-date dino anatomy. If you don't have the time in your oh-so frantic, overburdened and important schedule to type 'archery stance' into google and look for two minutes, you don't have the time to draw the thing in the first place. Otherwise you're getting into Liefeld-like levels of laziness and ineptitude.

    Ancient history, I know. But I've only just seen it meself.

    i could be wrong but that original email didn't warrant a "fuck off" response. Even the follow-up was a really dickish thing.

    the email was basically "i really love archery + I really love Green Arrow and am psyched for what you're doing with him and his costume. There's some things you should fix with the archery aspect though such as A, B, C."

    The response seems written for a much harsher troll email.

    Oh my God, I just saw Linkara review the first issue of Superman: Grounded on his site. I knew it was supposed to be bad but Holy fuck I had no idea. The mere fact that an in-continuity Superman story now exists where he basically let a child get murdered by drug dealers is fucking reprehensible.

    Fuck you JMS.

    Even worse was that Grounded was the last Superman story from the old DCU. And it stinks that DC didn't do what they originally thought about, which was have a big compilation book with all the former Superman writers giving the old guy the proper sendoff.

    Really, the way the old DCU went out, is pretty shameful.

    And for the love of fuck that whole scene where he talks to the jumper just infuriated me to no end. Grounded is like the antimatter universe version of All-Star Superman.

    Chris Roberson really turned it all around at the end, though. I mean, the final panel was Superman winking at you. That's pretty much perfect.

    I can't believe how badly he screwed up Superman and Wonder Woman. His Thor was brilliant. That JMS would been amazing on those titles. :evil:

    I think #714 was a good issue, as it tried its best to put an end to the whole thing and bring some positivity out of it with some good Igle art, but it's ending couldn't make up for the road traveled to that point. It was like a reverse Mass Effect 3.

  • Options

    The ending did have that bit where Superman made a bunch of new superheroes with the power of goodness

    that was great

    shame that none of it mattered at all, really

    Besides--as we know from Star Trek--the correct terminology is "mirror universe."

    well I mean

    it's the right terminology for DC comics because of qward and whatnot
    in transformers it'd be referred to as the negative polarity universe version

    I am really really glad that Grounded happened when I wasn't keeping up with things. I will be happy to go back and finish the New Krypton stuff, but as far as I'm concerned the New 52 happens the issue after.

    If you say so.

    I don't think there a single original plot or JMS trope he left off the table before his pissy little shitfit. Gillen coming in on Latverian Prometheus made that book great. JMS just did the same thing he's always done, plus the requisite post-Civil War Tony bitch-slapping in post-Katrina NOLA of all places. Hey, asshole. Lend a hand, then you can get on your fucking high horse.

    Yeah just read War of the Supermen and go right into the new 52. Although I heard the first Superman new 52 arc was kinda bad.

    I'm a bit hesitant to start reading the current Superman, but I hear it picks up once the teams shift, so I'll give it a go. At least Action Comics has been brilliant.

    But yeah, I'm thinking just grabbing War of the Supermen is what I'll do. I left off just a few months before it started I think. I was somewhere around the end of World of New Krypton at least. I read the freebie issue #0 and everything seemed to make sense, so I'll assume I know just about everything that I need to.

    No. Roberson did because he has a sense of humor.

    I see you keep having this problem and I've not had it at all. I dunno if some batches are just worse than others, but I'm in crazy humid Florida and it's not doing a damn thing to the ink on my comics.
