I can dig it, I guess.
Though maybe not for too long.
Anally.
What exactly did Worldstorm reboot?
This Midnighter comic seems to be targeted towards ignorant youth while recycling the same old "bad ass fights armies of superior enemies alone and wins without a scratch ala wolverine".
I can smell the sloth of the hack writers from here. Must miss comic!
I thought he was fighting American troops til he made the Allah reference.
I think it's funny that he tends to write traditional superheroes, even ones like Wolverine that can generally fit into more realistic stories, as tremendous jokes, while then turning around and writing other guys with superpowers in funny costumes as super-serious hardasses who kick people's balls up into their skulls and then bang a bus full of cheerleaders.

Now there making him into wolverine?
man wildstor wants to just cover the whole damn stereotype spectrum huh?
Possibly the most ill-concieved of the mixed characters of the Analgram Universe. Even worse than The Flash combining with Ghost Rider (what the hell was that?).
The obvious character to match Batman with would have been Daredevil. It just makes sense.
I had a subscription to Wizard when I was a kid, though, and an Amalgam of Batman and Cap that they showed in one issue was pretty good, as was a Joker+Venom mix. Others such as Evil Ernie+Hulk and Wolverine+Flash didn't work quite so well.
Of course when he really wants to write a superhero he gets them down.
His Superman bits in Hitman were awesome.
How was his Legends of the Dark Knight run?
I loled

I actually liked all the amalgam stuff. Generation Hex, Iron Lantern, Bullets and Bracelets, etc. It was really fun.
Yesterday, I picked up the first issues of almost all of the new series. Stormwatch: PHD looks pretty interesting. Gen13 looks cool, but I didn't follow the original series so I don't know how much it differs (if at all). That's all I've read so far, but I did get Wildcats, The Authority, and Midnighter.
It seems like Gen13 and Wildcats are getting a complete reboot, but Stormwatch and The Authority are not. It's as if the origin of the Gen13 stuff is happening later in history than all the Ellis Authority stuff (which is my only prior knowledge of the Wildstorm universe). I would think that the Gen13 origin stuff had already taken place, if the Ellis Authority stuff is part of this relaunch's past. Can anyone give guidance on how to sort this all out?
Supposedly, everything except Planetary is getting rebooted. Planatery only has one issue left, and supposedly it'll give an in-continuity reason why everything is getting started from scratch.
So far, the only book I've really liked from Worldstorm has been Stormwatch.

It looked so clichéd at the outset, but I'm glad I've been following it now.

[spoiler:11aec6b18c]It was so awesome. I felt like I was reading Nextwave for a second there with the Pompety-pom-pom. Part of it reminded me of Dirk Anger.[/spoiler:11aec6b18c]
but, you know, lol amalgam.
