Finally saw Green Lantern today.

Gotta say, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I had such low expectations going in, but it surprised me.

Reynolds as Jordan really exceeded my expectations. He toned down his smart ass personality just enough. Hal Jordan is no Guy Gardner, but he's still a bit cocky and brash. And in scenes where he had to portray the will and determination that define the character, he did great.

Rush as Tomar Re was perfect. GL Sinestro was great. He had just enough arrogance to sew the seeds of his future fall, but without crossing that line(until the post credits)

I actually like the movie parallax more than the comic version. Was more interesting as a fallen guardian, than as some generic ancient evil.

Hector Hammond knocked it right out of the park. Can't see how they could have made him better.

Only thing I really didn't like was Duncan as Kilowog. His voice, while deep and scary sounding, is still very monotone. Feel like kilowog should be loud and boisterous.

The suit looked better in motion, especially with that effect of energy flowing through it. When idle though? Yeah, looked shitty. But it didn't bother me that much.

In the end, It's no Dark Knight or anything, but I still thought it was a fun movie.

A shame there probably won't be a sequel. Would have loved to see Sinestro Corps War on screen.

Oh, and I loved the bit with the domino mask. Always thought they were one of the stupidest things commonly utilized in comics, and this film seems to agree with me on that.

War of the Green Lanterns was good. Wish they would have gone deeper into the first green lantern mystery, though they are probably saving that for a later story.

Really interested where they take Sinestro from here.

Just watched the animated Batman: Year One.

Probably the most faithful, panel for panel, word for word adaptation that they have done.

Year One was great. A little short, but great nonetheless. The voice casting, per usual, was awesome. Particularly loved Bryan Cranston's Gordon.

I really think that this DC Comics New 52 has all but killed my interest in comic books. Which is no easy feat.

I can't stand to look at or read my favorite superhero anymore (Superman).

There are only a handful of books worth reading, and they are the ones who didn't really retcon much. But then they just serve to make me sad because they remind me of how good the DC Universe was just before they decided to reset everything.

It just isn't the same...

But I have been reading more Marvel lately. Trying to catch up from where I left off... which is still a few years behind. Perhaps I should just skip to the present.

Pretty much done with comics in general. I keep up with what's what, but I can't be arsed to keep up with Marvel's history and DC's utterly unnecessary reboot/relaunch/whatever. I'm more invested in other media.

Just read Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes that just came out.

Seriously depressed me. Basically just finishing up a story from the old universe. So the old Batman status quo is present.

Read X-Force and Uncanny X-Force. Anything by Ed Brubaker is gold. Daredevil, Captain America, and The Immortal Iron Fist are all particularly awesome. Anything with the word "Avengers" in it, has been really good since Heroic Age started. First couple issues of Future Foundation really impressed me.

I really don't care much for the art in this Hawkman series. The story isn't bad, although all of the reviews I've seen say otherwise, but the art on anything other than Conner/Hawkman leaves a lot to be desired. In this last issue there were certain panels where I really couldn't make out what Morphicius (who is supposed to be the main villain at this point) is even supposed to look like.

I mean I'll still be reading it for a while, but I can see it being one of the first books they cancel from the new series.

I am the only one playing this game though. I hope I win.

I'd probably take I, Vampire off of the list though if I did it now. I mean, I don't like it at all... but for some reason it has been getting "acclaim" as one of the better relaunch titles. No idea how.

I've never read it to be honest. I finally found a comic store relatively close to me and when I went in there a couple of months ago they didn't seem to carry many of the new series at all. This was week 3? of the launch I believe, and he said everything had been sold so I never ended up getting into any of the smaller name series other than Hawkman which was still on the shelves. I've just been ordering them from midtowncomics.com and getting Superman, Batman, Detective, GL and Hawkman.

I started out with Grifter and Batwoman too, but they didn't really keep my interest though I can see why people love Batwoman so much. Grifter is another one I can see being cut out soon, the book looks good, but up through issue 2 he kind of struck me as a print version of a Jason Statham movie.

I don't know if they're collected yet, the reboot is still kinda new. You'd have to ask your local comic store. I'm sure the pic of the cover is online.

There are a few books in the New 52 that I really really like (Animal Man, Action Comics, Aquaman, Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman), but overall it's a confused half-baked mess that still seems unnecessary. I mean, I'm glad it got people reading DC again, but so much of it is extremely off-putting.

The only books of the New 52 worth reading are:

All-Star Western
Animal Man
Aquaman
Batman (The only bat-book that doesn't just depress me, missing the old status quo)
Green Lantern Books Minus Red Lanterns (Which were not rebooted at all)
Swamp Thing


I am on the fence with Demon Knights and Resurrection Man.

Wasn't one of the points of this reboot to eliminate multiverses again?

If so why is DC already starting a JSA book based on Earth-2?

Detective Comics has been "eh" for me. Not bad, but perfectly average. Batman is better.

Here's my pull list:

Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern: New Guardians
Red Lanterns
Batman
Detective Comics
Action Comics
Aquaman
Justice League
Animal Man
Swamp Thing


I pretty much enjoy all of them, although John's Green Lantern and Animal Man are my fav's. I was very dissapointed in the new JLI series, being a big fan of the old group.

Cancellations, ahoy!

I will make my picks publicly now so there is no accusations of me changing my own picks:

1) Hawk and Dove
2) O.M.A.C.
3) Blackhawks
4) I, Vampire
5) Voodoo
6) Batwing
7) Suicide Squad
8) Legion Lost
9) Men of War
10) Red Hood and the Outlaws
Static Shock and Mister Terrific have also been canceled.

BUT

Six new books are going to be replacing them.


Batman Incorporated by Grant Morrison

Earth 2 by James Robinson (Really pulling for this one and hope it isn't a pile of crap)

World's Finest by Paul Levitz (BUT not Batman and Superman. Apparently it is going to be Power Girl and Huntress from Earth 2, but on Earth 1)

The Ravagers by Howard Mackie (I assume this is an expansion of the porn line)

G.I. Combat by J.T. Krul (Featuring more "vintage DC" war stories like The War That Time Forgot, The Haunted Tank, and The Unknown Soldier)

Dial H by China Miéville
