It was simply Guy continuing to show his disrepect to S-P.

If you haven't read that book, well, it would take too long to explain and would lose its humor, so suffice to say that it's pretty funny and you should check it out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-77288724574996482722007-06-28T11:20:00.000-07:002007-06-28T11:20:00.000-07:00Mory, Oh yeah.

I'll see if my local library as <I>Son of M</I> in trade yet; they generally get everything eventually.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jacob,<BR/><BR/>Yikes.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jason,<BR/><BR/>None at all. X-Factor is the only X book I'm reading right now. I was following <I>Astonishing</I>, but decided to trade-wait that since I couldn't remember what happened during the months between issues. I think I'm going to get into the <I>First Calss</I> trades too, as I really dug the <I>Special</I>, and Parker in general. <BR/><BR/>And my hopes for Kyle are that he puts a ring on his finger and joins the Corps again, like in that first GLC mini. I like him quite a bit, but teaming him with a monitor and Jason friggin' Todd cancels out all of my affection for him.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-45102635585558525192007-06-28T07:34:00.000-07:002007-06-28T07:34:00.000-07:00Any guess how Kyle ends up in Countdown?

Just no.<BR/><BR/>X-Factor: what was with the art this issue? The perspective on the scene with The 300 walking up the street was all over the place in terms of scale. Eck.<BR/><BR/>Sinestro Corp: That was some good reading. Each of the earth lanterns really shone in key scenes. Loved the bit with John Stewart and the sniper. And good catch on the JLA actually using their codenames for a change. <BR/><BR/>And what a last page: what we got here is some good old Galactic level catastra-f*@k bad guys.<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts on X-Men #200? It was a good read, brought in some much needed interaction with other teams, and advanced the plot despite a "now how did they NOT see this coming" ending.<BR/><BR/>Excited about Duffie on JLA? I think we're going to see some great things like Stewart in the line-up, and the fact that you won't need to read 6 other out of print stories to know what's going on in each issue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826413365790850707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-33594451453175313312007-06-28T04:15:00.000-07:002007-06-28T04:15:00.000-07:00Now I suppose it’s possible that I’m missing somet...<I>Now I suppose it’s possible that I’m missing something, as I dropped the unreadable Wonder Woman and Teen Titans, </I><BR/><BR/>Yes.<BR/><BR/>You know that pain <I>Amazon Attacks</I> is giving you, kind of like an unfilled cavity that's just expanded to the nerve?<BR/><BR/>You're missing someone jamming an icepick into it.<BR/><BR/>Bad news: I think that as far as Picoult is concerned, not only has the story <I>started,</I> but it had its narrative climax this week in Wonder Woman, when Diana decided, after great angst, to <I>be something other than just her mother's ambassador</I> and <I>stood up to her mother and said so.</I> It's not even slightly interesting, but it's surrounded with all the narrative trappings that say, "This is what the whole series is about! This is like Wolverine in the garden in the Miller miniseries! Big deal, kids! She's going to <I>become her own woman now!"</I><BR/><BR/>Teen Titans was somewhat worse than that.<BR/><BR/>(No I didn't buy either. I read them, giving them a fair shot to persuade me to buy them.

(Son of M is what X-Factor is talking about.) It's an excellent and unpredictable story, and it leads into the even better Silent War, which wrapped up yesterday in spectacular fashion.<BR/><BR/>(..unless you really don't like the Inhumans, in which case you'll probably not be impressed.)Moryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811255096467614445noreply@blogger.com
