BATMAN: TURNING POINTS
DC COMICS
BY, GREG RUCKA/ED BRUBAKER/CHUCK DIXON
Another in a long line of Batman collections which address the early days of the character. This time the focus is more on the friendship between Batman and James Gordon. Containing an all-star writing lineup and a equally talented group of artists in Paul Pope, Brent Anderson, and others to give the reads a well rounded look at a friendship through Batman's history. I do not remember hearing about this limited series when it was being released in single issues, Must have been back in my busier days being a cooperate slave? I really liked this collectin and if I had fundage it would be in my collection also but it is not and back to the library it goes.
CATWOMAN: IT'S ONLY A MOVIE
DC COMICS
BY, WILL PFEIFER/DAVID LOPEZ
I really like the writing and artwork in this book. The artwork got my attention right away. I have not been able to really keep up with everything going on in the Catwoman books the past few years but it seems they have built her a strong supporting cast that helps this book stand out and be its own outside the Batman family of books. I also like the fact that though this book is strong on its own, it also uses the shared universe in little bits to add flavor like a spice. That is how to use a shared universe without hinging your success on guest stars and crossovers. I recommend this book and was glade they had it at the library. Though I recently read online bad news, it seems DC is canceling the series. Just what we need one less book with a female lead. Hey, they will say but we are starting a Power Girl series. Taking away and then giving does not come out to being equal in my books. Though, my books are tattered with notes on Aztec paintings and such...never mind me...
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: THE LIGHTNING SAGA
DC COMICS
BY, BRAD MELTZER/GEOFF JOHNS
It seems to me, at least at our local libraries, that DC has more of a presence than Marvel. Marvel's space on Graphic Novel shelfs is mostly Ultimate Spiderman and Ultimate X-Men for the most part. I don't know if this says DC is connecting with libraries more or if their product is just more popular and people are putting in more library requests for their books? A question. A question I just asked....Anyways, lets talk about J.L.A. The Lightning Saga. Though I was not the biggest fan of Brad Meltzer's work on Identity Crisis I have to say, I have enjoyed his Justice League work so far. The main issues of this collection are made up of the J.L.A., Justice Society, Legion Of Super-Heroes story which actually reminded me of older Justice League stories from the past but I say the highlight is the Red Arrow/Vixen single issue story. Plus I had to read this book based on the fact that it has Red Tornado, The Red Fucking Tornado. For some reason he has always been one of my favorite DC characters.
50 best cult books
Remember me mentioning how much I love lists. I enjoyed reading this. I have read some of these, want to read others, and have discovered a few that have my mind thinking.
This is a good idea whether you pray or not. We all struggle through our days and it is hard to fight the good fight all the time but how about on one day we all just stand up, put on our coolest sunglasses, put on our chucks(because the cool kids and Time Lords wear them), and go out and make a difference some how, for one day, touch the world in a way that says I'm not a piece of human waste on two legs. Wow, I got sort of negative there at the end didn't I?
John McCain supports wage discrimination You know a few years ago I really liked John McCain, what happen to him? I think he was replaced by a Skrull because only fiction could explain how this man became such a two faced whore to who ever he thinks could make him win.
Atheist soldier claims harassment This should raise the pissed off levels of more than a few of the people I know online and around my life in general.
Well, that is just about enough of me to spill onto the internet today. We are thinking a good funny movie, food, and maybe some just being around the people you love later. Those are the best sort of nights to plan out.
