Okay, THAT'S more like it.

Now, I can proudly say that Gary Frank is awesome and here's a great cover to show why, among others.

I still haven't picked up my print order of sv comic. Can't wait to later I will be getting my orders today finally.

[Webhead2006]

Finally was able to get a copy of the comic today. Man was it such a hassle for me to get it too. Can't wait to read it later when I got free time.

[The Incredible Hulk]

Cant you just subscribe through DC online and have it sent to your house?

[Webhead2006]

I don't do subscribe thing. I like to go to shop and get my comics. The issue was just my original shop didn't get enough copies in for all orders. So I had to try a few other local shops and had issues at two stores before I was able to get it.

But it was a good read. Was nice to see where characters are now. And see where bqm is going with his story. Also perez art was pretty good.

Some sweet covers

I still wish at times that instead of a comic book series, that they would have gone down the "animated series" route for season 11 instead.

That would have been AWESPME!

Maybe we will get a motion comic when season 11 is done.

I really hate it when artists draw belts that have that dip. It just looks stupid.

[Johnny]

Big deal. She draws Clark like no other.

[The Boy Scout]

That's funny. I don't remember saying she didn't. But hey, whatever works for you, man.

[Johnny]

I don't see how the belt is important when she draws Clark so well, that's it.

You're trying to make something out of nothing. For what, I don't know.

I don't like belts that dip. Simple as that. How I feel about the belt has nothing to do with how well the artist managed to capture Welling's likeness. How you found a connection between those things is beyond me.

Let me paraphrase then, why do you care how belts are drawn in the first place? Here's my point with the art, if not only belts are drawn bad but every part of the suit too, I'd understand that. I simply don't get why you pay attention to details that are kind of irrelevant. That's what seems weird to me.

[Young Superman]

Cat Staggs should be doing the interiors art in this book.

You are making a mountain out of a molehill. I made a throwaway comment that wasn't in any way supposed to garner as much attention as you're giving it. Me saying I hate the belt is the equivalent of someone else saying, "The Avengers was amazing! But I thought such-and-such line was really corny."

It's a nitpick. A niggle. A very small issue. Understand?

why do you care how belts are drawn in the first place?

So because I think something looks bad, I'm not allowed to critique it, all because you don't have the same issue? Kay.

Of course it's irrelevant. That's the point. You're giving it way more attention than it deserves.

[kunonabi]

Suit looks so much better without color since you can't really tell that they removed the trunks. Cat really does good work.

Me too as I wish it was a CGI animated series in the style of Justice League Heroes.

Who in the hell told you you're not allowed to critique something? Ok, you're nitpicking about something small, I'm nitpicking about your comment too. You can talk about a very small issue that annoyed you and that's fine, but it's not fine for me to talk about a comment that annoyed me too? Regardless if it was about something small? Do replies always have to be about something big that has solid points and makes a lot of sense? You point out something insignificant you didn't like, I point a throwaway comment I didn't like. That's all. Don't talk me like I'm an idiot, I understand you perfectly fine.

[Mr. E Nygma]

So for y'all that have read it, how was it? I didn't realize this was out. I'm uber excited but nervous that it will suck...

That's what I've been getting from your posts. "Stop complaining about the belt. Don't you see how well she draws Clark?!"

Ok, you're nitpicking about something small, I'm nitpicking about your comment too.

Is that what you were doing? This whole time it looked like you were making an arbitrary connection between my comment and the quality of the art as a whole.

You can talk about a very small issue that annoyed you and that's fine, but it's not fine for me to talk about a comment that annoyed me too?

My issue with you is you're taking this way too seriously. My comment annoyed you? Seriously? Why do you give a rat's ass how I feel about anything, especially a belt?

Do replies always have to be about something big

No.

that has solid points

Not necessarily.

and makes a lot of sense?

It should make some sense, yes.

Don't talk me like I'm an idiot, I understand you perfectly fine.

In all seriousness, I don't doubt you're not an idiot. Whether or not you actually understand me is another issue. Whatever the case, I think we can both agree that this is a really stupid conversation that's run its course.

If I offended you or anything, I, in all sincerity, apologize. I hope we can end this amicably.

[Johnny]

Fair enough. You haven't offended me in any way, I only wanted to have a lighthearted argument, though yes, it did look stupid in the end. Enjoy the comic, despite the bad belt lol.
