Not that it was good, but I thought you'd be interested in the fact that apparently Black Canary was NOT one of the Justice League founders anymore. We just covered the formation of the JLA, and we're back to the original seven. I remember you were curious about that after Infinite Crisis a few years ago.Patrick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244280974612331889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-33987943380109684142010-07-23T23:14:23.272-07:002010-07-23T23:14:23.272-07:00Randal, I like it when Sims does it.

Let him ride it out.<br /><br />I'm just sick of other people jumping in and saying, "Hey, robot monkey zombies, awesome! Everyone should buy this comic!" <br /><br />And I'm also sick of the people who think Nextwave, Atlas, or Pet Avengers should have sold better by virtue of being filled with crazy concepts.<br /><br />See, All Star Superman was filled with crazy concepts too, but all that was balanced by pathos and insight, and it was actually about something too.Hdefinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402669731760470459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-26593673609248043722010-07-23T22:45:11.854-07:002010-07-23T22:45:11.854-07:00Hdefined, I don't often...or ever, I think...a...Hdefined, I don't often...or ever, I think...agree with you, but I stand shoulder to shoulder with your take on just how tiresome one-trick-Sims has become.Randalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004496291989135777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-39951221923386189432010-07-23T20:17:00.174-07:002010-07-23T20:17:00.174-07:00I was commenting on the description of that one pa...I was commenting on the description of that one panel, not the comic itself, which, as you could tell from my response, I wasn't interested in reading.<br /><br />People need to stop embracing Chris Sims' "it's crazy and awesome and therefore we should support it" mentality. The fact that something is silly, absurd, and exaggeratedly so does not make it inherently good or worth reading.Hdefinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402669731760470459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-77489520241948488992010-07-23T19:55:59.975-07:002010-07-23T19:55:59.975-07:00Also, I thought Batman #701 was surprisingly borin...Also, I thought Batman #701 was surprisingly boring, and full of the sort of stuff Morrison is usually wise enough to leave out, like the seven pages of Bruce swimming to shore.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030091442487913176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-3007957794924997092010-07-23T19:46:38.934-07:002010-07-23T19:46:38.934-07:00Hdefined: Have you read the comic?Hdefined: Have you read the comic?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030091442487913176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-91590217614992186762010-07-23T18:53:41.634-07:002010-07-23T18:53:41.634-07:00"You either want to read a comic book in whic..."You either want to read a comic book in which a gorilla pops a flying wheelie on a motorcycle while firing machine guns with his feet, or you do not."<br /><br />It's just silly and pointless, absurdity for absurdity's sake.Hdefinedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402669731760470459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-36905126599046642182010-07-23T10:12:13.144-07:002010-07-23T10:12:13.144-07:00Johnny DC loses two ongoings, but it is still the ...Johnny DC loses two ongoings, but it is still the most enyojable imprint out there.Mandrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698107286176995559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-55528977626483125872010-07-23T08:31:17.597-07:002010-07-23T08:31:17.597-07:00Hello, pleased to meet you.
