Gen 13 returns!!!

[Ultiameagent]

anyone else as hyped to see the return of the original Gen 13 team as I am??? I use to love reading those comics and I'm really happy to see that there bringing back the original team in the new series

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The original team with differences. I have a feeling that, before long, people will be referring to pre-Worldstorm and post-Worldstorm Wildstorm characters the same way we talk about pre-Crisis and post-Crisis DC characters now.

Are the lesbian and the two probably-lesbians still gonna be playing grabass with eachother every couple of issues? Cause I'm pretty sure that's all I care about.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably, but they'll be doing it under Talent Caldwell's pencil. It's like Turner-Vision... but worse!

 

[The Question]

Aren't the two probably-lesbians sisters? It probably won't change anything, but I'm just wondering. t:

 

[fifthfiend]

They were stepsisters I think.

Anyway it's a reboot. So nothing's really a given.

... I mean, except for the grabassing.

Probably, but they'll be doing it under Talent Caldwell's pencil. It's like Turner-Vision... but worse!

Dunno about worse. You still get the blowup-doll vacancy, but at least they're not all anorexic.

... You know who they oughtta get, is Nick Bradshaw. He did Danger Girl Back in Black, and that Army of Darkness comic? Those looked hella good.

 

[The Question]

I thought they were half sisters.

Anyway it's a reboot. So nothing's really a given.

If there's a chance for kinky lesbanism, Gail Simone will take it.

I did say, except for the grabassing.

You're right, I've been underestimating Turner again. They're both at about the same level of crappiness.

I haven't seen much of Bradshaw's art, but there aren't many who are worse than Caldwell and Turner.

 

[Ultiameagent]

nah he's right Bradshaw is one of the best artists, I'm a huge Army of Darkness fan and his art in there was fantastic some of the best ever it works really well for a character like Ash who relies alot on faceial expresions to show his reactions and Bradshaw would do great at the Gen 13 kids but hey I'm just happy to have them back in any form I was so pissed off when they killed the original team off I have all the original comics so I'm deffinetly gonna start collecting the new one and yeah the lesbian is back and Catlin is still a smokeing hot red head with Roxy as her ((unknow to her yet)) half sister

 

[Ultiameagent]

and this here is a fantastic example of Bradshaws art this is his cover art for Army of Darkness #1

 

[KingOfDreams]

I have the first issue of the original series. It's entertaining. As for the new series, I'm not extremely impressed but we'll see.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh. Bradshaw's really similar to J. Scott Campbell. That's very much the opposite of a good thing in my book.

 

[Shockdingo]

Hmm I dunno how I feel about this. I loved G-13 back in the ol' days but lost interest towards the end. Hopefully this'll rock; I loved Gail's run on Deadpool.

 

[Fenryr]

and this here is a fantastic example of Bradshaws art this is his cover art for Army of Darkness #1

That's J. Scott Campbell's cover. You can see his signature on the blonde's leg.

But, is anyone genuinely interested in this reboot at all? I read the original mini and a couple random arcs from the second volume that were pretty good.

Claremont's take wasn't awful, but the ideas that were actually interesting, and a lot of character development, never got any focus. He did alright setting up the actual characters and introducing some minor conflict, but beyond that, everything was pretty worthless, and it got crazy-go-nuts at the end.

I hope this run is decent enough to get some explanations. The first issue seems like it's in the middle of an arc.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But, is anyone genuinely interested in this reboot at all?

Not that I've noticed. Personally, Simone's dialogue has started to annoy me across the board, plus I don't really give a crap about the Gen13 characters anyway, plus Talent Caldwell is a massive fiesta of suck.

 

[fifthfiend]

Nick Bradshaw, for review:

So, have fun with that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, he's definitely better than no-Talent Caldwell.

 

[fifthfiend]

Oh man, appending a no to the name Talent, to indicate his lack of talent as an artist?

Magnifique, mon frere!

 

[bmelton]

I'm still down with Gen13 so long as there are carefully rendered scantily clad women on each and every cover. I'm not going to bother reading any of 'em, but they're nice to look at on the shelf at the comic shop.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess you'll be skipping #4 of the new series, then:

Oh man, appending a no to the name Talent, to indicate his lack of talent as an artist?

Magnifique, mon frere!

I know, my cleverness surprises even me sometimes.

Gen 13 was one of the first comics I started to collect. I'm glad to see they are back.

I wonder if they are going to bring back the concept of Team 7.

:meow:

 

[GL1]

Hm... this doesn't seem a whole lot like the Origional team. Same names, I guess, but there are notable differences and, honestly, the direction of the book seems to be different... this doesn't look like much of a TnA book...

 

[fifthfiend]

the direction of the book seems to be different... this doesn't look like much of a TnA book...

... True enough. And so it is dead to me.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I like the first issue. Very gritty spy stuff. The whole concept of trying to jumpstart aggressive behavior is cool. I didnt read much Gen13 in the day so I dont really know how it originally started.
