A) I'm still laughing my ass off at the Meltzer 12-issue thing. So lame.
B) Yeah, still not going to pick up JLA. McDuffie never impressed me and Beyond! was horrid.

 

[Kebab gud]

To me .. it the end felt like a rush..
and i belive it indeed is. it would hav been fun to see when didio desided that Ollie enda Dinah was getting married

what ting? what so lame?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

meltzer 12 issue run was nothing but **** and a waste of money. nothing exciting happened. i find it hard that he wrote identity crisis.

 

[CConn]

I, thankfully, didn't waste too much money on Meltzer's crap.

Because IC was action packed?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

because it was a really well told story.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Meltzer had story, dialogue, and characterization down. The problems were that the roster sucked hardcore (no Flash, no Martian Manhunter, no Aquaman and had losers such as Vixen and Hawkgirl), the complete lack of action, and the snails pace storyline.

Seriously, if it Meltzer was going to do a 12 issue run, he shouldn't have taken the entire time to rebuild the League roster that is going to be refreshed and done better by McDuffie right away, and he shouldn't have moved the story so freaking slowly.

I like McDuffie as much as the next guy, but he's not a slam dunk on the JLA at all.

Ever watch Justice League Unlimited and I've been enjoying his Fantastic Four run so far, even with Black Panther headlocking the Silver Surfer

Adam Beechen also wrote for JLU, whats your point? And while I enjoy his current FF it's not like he's writing the **** out of that title either.

Beechen wrote for the JLU comic, huge difference

True, but again, that's the same type of logic that brought Bilson and Demeo on The Flash.

 

[Harlekin]

what ting? what so lame?

That Meltzer pretty much wasted twelve issues for nothing. It took six issues just to form a team that is going to get ****ed with in a year max, anyway. Bringing him on was lame and useless.

 

[Darthphere]

A) I'm still laughing my ass off at the Meltzer 12-issue thing. So lame.

As someone who has enjoyed his run so far, I agree. This type of storytelling mechanic only works if you're going to do one of those epic 36 issue runs or something. And frankly, I don't see how he'll wrap everything he has set up so far.

 

[The Leaguer]

I was at Heroes Con and despite how those quotes may seem to make Didio look, he was easily the most likeable guy I saw at the convention (besides Christos Gage). All his answers were given in either a nice or obviously joking manner.

About the Suicide Squad: someone asked Didio if we'd be seeing Suicide Squad. Didio responded with an "oh yes" and started listing off placed we'd see them, and finished up with, "they'll even have their own Essentials--oh jeez, I almost said 'Essentials!' S***!" The crowd busted up.

On the sadder side, at the Countdown panel, someone asked what would be happening with Kyle Rayner, saying that he was overjoyed at the respect Kyle was shown in Rebirth and was happy with his boosting in power with Ion and that he loved the Ion series. He finished up with begging van Sciver not to say, "see Sinestro Corps #1," since that was his standard answer to all things Green Lantern-related. van Sciver responeded with, "um... see Sineestro Corps #1? That's really all I can say, except that you may not like us when the year is over. We really hope you do, but you may not."

Well, apparently this.

Kyle, not Hal? And then this picture from the Search for Ray Palmer, showing Kyle in an...odd costume. It's not his first, but it's not his latest. Wtf to the what what? Looks like a power-down at the least.

I am made of rage. But possibly not. We'll see how it goes...

 

[The Leaguer]

I hate van Sciver and I hate Geoff Johns. I wouldn't hate van Sciver as much if he weren't so f***ing happy about it.

 

[BrianWilly]

And it looks like he's using his ring again, too.

What the blood-drying poo was the point of making him Ion, then??

 

[Harlekin]

The thought of Suicide Squad TPB's makes me very happy.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

I hate van Sciver and I hate Geoff Johns. I wouldn't hate van Sciver as much if he weren't so f***ing happy about it.

hahahahaha kyle getting pwned?! oh this is a glorious day, oh man i'm so going to rub it in your face.t:

 

[hippie_hunter]

Poor Leaguer, first Batgirl and now Kyle. Who's next? Zauriel?

 

[BrianWilly]

A theory from another board is that the white silhouette is actually Superboy-Prime. Which makes a lot more sense, and would account for the suggestions that Prime is going to play a part in the Sinestro Corps Special. Who else would have the ability to inspire great fear?

 

[kiuju2k]

No way so your saying they're going to depower kyles? Wtf for? His downfall does that mean hes going to die? Or is he going to turn bad? wtf dc wtf.
