It's going to turn out to be a virtual reality thing and when they "die" they go back to the real world and have to watch their friends be terrorized and at the end Arcade says he showed them how awful they can really be and then X-23 cuts his head off and Chase says "Game. Over." and then they go surfing with Mettle in Hawaii
Isn't He-Man kind of...and I don't mean to antagonize anyone by saying this...but isn't He-Man just a cheap New Gods knockoff?
What I'm saying is, my Injustice sequel should be centered around New Genesis and Apokolips.
He-Man was a generic toy. In fact, that name He-Man was chosen because it was powerful, but didn't stick to a single theme. Original creator Roger Sweet actually made three different versions: a barbarian, a soldier, and a space-theme hero. Mattel picked the barbarian.
He-Man and all the assorted characters are literally creation by committee. Any resemblance to Jack Kirby's work is probably coincidence.
The 1980s Masters of the Universe movie works really really well as a Jack Kirby Fourth World movie. Skeletor as Darkseid, Dolph as Orion, the little troll guy as Metron, Evil Lynn as Amazing Grace - it even has boom tubes.

As the director of Masters of the Universe, it was a pleasure to see that someone got it. Your comparison of the film to Kirby’s New Gods was not far off. In fact, the storyline was greatly inspired by the classic Fantastic Four/Doctor Doom epics, The New Gods and a bit of Thor thrown in here and there. I intended the film to be a “motion picture comic book,” though it was a tough proposition to sell to the studio at the time. “Comics are just for kids,” they thought. They would not allow me to hire Jack Kirby who I desperately wanted to be the conceptual artist for the picture…
I grew up with Kirby’s comics (I’ve still got all my Marvels from the first issue of Fantastic Four and Spider-Man through the time Kirby left) and I had great pleasure meeting him when he first moved to California. Since that time I enjoyed the friendship of Jack and Roz and was lucky enough to spend many hours with Jack, hearing how he created this character and that one, why a villain has to be even more powerful than a hero, and on and on. Jack was a great communicator, and listening to him was always an education. You might be interested to know that I tried to dedicate Masters of Universe to Jack Kirby in the closing credits, but the studio took the credit out.
I have some kind of sleeping disorder. I slept two hours two nights ago, and none last night. I have a major shift at work today, 11 hours. It was practically unbearable. But once the dinner rush starts, this coworker of mine suggests that I can pass the time better if, while I work, I complain to her about something. "It's like magic! You'll be so busy hating shit you don't like, you won't even realize time is passing!" So I spend about 4 hours telling this girl about how Frank Miller and Mark Millar are assholes, how Jeph Loeb seems to make a hobby out of ruining things for people, and shitting on various comics that I don't like. She was right. My god, it passed the time like nothing. It felt like I was there for 15 minutes.
I told her they were guys who wrote comic books. After our shift was over she asked me why I liked comics at all because "If these guys are as popular as you claim then there is something seriously wrong with the comic book business"

well, that's like saying that the popularity of Justin Bieber shows that there is something seriously wrong with the music business

granted Miller/Millar haven't actually beaten women to the best of my knowledge, but the latter certainly likes to depict graphic violence against them.

Don't let the Bieber hear you say that. Underneath that innocent, childish demeanor lurks the Force Ghost of Emperor Palpatine.

thats actually true of both their work but even so thats a pretty horrific analogy. No matter how shitty comics they've written equating or insinuating that it's the same or even close to the same as a dude who actually beats women is not even remotely cool.

The wrongness of the music industry far predates and exceeds him. He is merely a symptom of the malignancy.

he makes music for preteen girls. not a big deal, plenty of other musicians out there who target plenty of different audiences. granted, i hate hearing his stuff, but that's why I try to avoid it.
HA, get it because justin beiber is secretly a transexual and trans people are weird.
Naw, I'm just old, and until he become basically the stuffed animal version of hardcore, I was never sure if he was a boy or a girl, I just knew I didn't really care.
The shred of a link is that thanks to the web comics is going the opposite way of the music industry.
So there's that.
But yeah I want to gripe about how Marvel had to send a correction email because it sent an earlier one to subscribers saying Assemble was cancelled. Come on folks. Get your shit together.

Give them credit for not turning it into a diss of DC.
"Oops, our bad, we thought Avengers Assemble was published by DC and were cancelling it along with everything else the other day."
Pushing your messiah down our throats isn't helping. (J/k, clearly(?))
In other, slightly more bitchy, news:
Nightwings gloves bug me. The red stripe that divides his gauntlet/wrist guards/vam braces. The red knuckle bumps. It's a bit too much clutter, even for a former circus kid.
Superman Beyond is critical to the end of FC. REally cool, too.
The Journey Into Mystery tie-in issues are IMO far more important than Fear Itself.
The Starlord tie-in to Annihilation: Conquest was WAY better and had longer-reaching implications than A:C did.
The Ms. Marvel Secret Invasion tie-ins explain how there was a New York to even have the last battle after the Initiative responds was undermined and cut off at the balls (basically Carol killed a shitload of Super Skrulls and a super-Super Skrull as the only hero to defend New York for most of the event).
These are certainly better, but you can generally say the same for a handful of various event tie-ins (depending on the size of the event and event itself), e.g. Black Panther SI tie-ins. Thunderbolts tie-in was important to Dark Reign. New and Might Avengers were supposed to be important to SI, but they really aren't—except for painting Hank Pym in a sightly different and immediately overlooked light.

Just a wee bit too slow DC, thanks for trying though.
This thread is for airing grievances about comics, not users of this forum
well, with art that bad, it could be an injustice sequel

I write about video games and stuff. It is fun. Sometimes.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SIT IN THE BIG CHAIR, MEG!
It seems that was intentional: http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2006/11/02/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-75/
From the director:
I know about comics and would shoot myself before hearing someone bitch about Millar and Miller (Ohh, new buddy cop show!)
well, that's like saying that the popularity of Justin Bieber shows that there is something seriously wrong with the music business
Whose the bad cop?

anyway, this is a comics forum and as far as i know bieber doesnt have a comic.
