    Cut Chuck Austen some slack, he's the Grant Morrison of porn comics.

    I've read that, but I see other things happening. Tim, Dick and Barbara all appear to be going through changes in those September solicits.

    Those characters are going through changes, but their history hasn't been changed. Tim was still Robin, Dick was still Batman, and Barbara was still Oracle

    They've already announced that Batman Inc will be finished next year, and a member of Batman Inc, Bat-Wing, has his own ongoing in the new launch

    regression arghhh

    No

    I know a guy who seems capable of reading pretty much any comic and enjoying it, which is quite a useful ability

    He fobs off every criticism with the "it's just a comic!" defence, which doesn't exactly address the fact that you can have different levels of quality within a medium but whatever

    Edcrab that sounds like a challenge


    you should make him read The Draco (Uncanny X-Men #428-434) and Lionheart of Avalon (Avengers vol.3 #77-81)

    both by Chuck Austen and both contenders for the worst superhero stories I've ever read.


    Like, it takes a special kind of talent to make something so comprehensively awful.

    There must be comics you hate the other people think are good or at least mediocre

    Like that Power Man and Iron Fist series that I hate

    I am completely unreasonable for doing so but whatever

    I'm a terrible comic book fan. I'm trying to come up with something I truly, truly hate and I'm drawing a blank. Shit, I even bought all 5 volumes of the Clone Saga.

    There are books out there that dissapoint me but nothing I can actually say I want throw in the trash.

    well like the first 3/5ths or so of the Clone Saga are actually really good.


    And the whole thing is super fascinating if you know about what was going on behind the scenes at Marvel at the time. (Life of Reilly rules)

    It has 33 and a bunch of other shit that was left hanging from his run and is being covered at the Fear Itself panel at SDCC

    when you guys say Annihilation are you just talking about the core series or are you including the tie ins because I read it again over the weekend and let me tell you

    the Drax, Super Skrull, and Ronan minis are fucking awful.

    Yeah I think Fraction as well, which would be great seeing as he writes a fantastic Iron Fist

    And by Annihilation yeah I mean the core series with Nova

    Also the Silver Surfer stuff was very cool
