Official JLA discussion thread - Part 2

[Mystirious]

He's totally got a crush

He wants Wonder Woman to wrap him up in the lasso and give him some fierce Amazon lovin'

 

[Primal Slayer]

So far the only major problem I have with the WW comic is that the Amazons dont seem that fleshed out. Its just war war war with them at this point.

 

[Mystirious]

Agreed

And I don't get them being so mad about Wonder Woman not being made of clay. Why would they care if she had a father or not

I wonder how "present" exactly that League story is. Because if it is 100% present time, then looks like in a few months Hal gets his ring back.

The solicits say that it's firmly set in the present day.

 

[Mystirious]

I guess he was always going to get it back eventually

 

[kguillou]

Good to see Gary Frank on a book again, I wish they would put him back on a Superman book.

 

[trustyside-kick]

That JLA cover just might be the best of Lee's work I've seen in a while.

 

[Hush]

Yeah I really like the cover.

 

[Drz]

 

[Mystirious]

Yeah I really like the cover.

Yep I'm digging it

I'll be interested to see what the moder day JLA is like too

 

[trustyside-kick]

Is that Lee or Kubert?

 

[Motown Marvel]

that free comic book day picture is horrendous.

 

[CConn]

You're actually right on that one.

It doesn't even look like Jim Lee. It looks like a really talented 10yo interpreting Jim Lee.

 

[Anubis]

Hyperbole much?

Horrendous? You'd probably gouge your eyes out with a spoon if you saw something that actually was Horrendous.

No, what that pic is is boring.

 

[CConn]

You're right. It's boring too.

Now that cover of them all about to be tenticle raped? That's action.

 

[Anubis]

Souless action. They don't look as freaked as they should for people about to be tenticle raped.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Souless action. They don't look as freaked as they should for people about to be tenticle raped.

Cyborg stumbled onto the tentacle porn on Aquaman's hard drive (hey, it's normal where he comes from) and got desensitized.

 

[spiderbob]

Souless action. They don't look as freaked as they should for people about to be tenticle raped.

Well, five years has happened between the current arc and that tentacle rape picture. Maybe they're used to it by now?

 

[Anubis]

Eels are the seas vibrators.

 

[Motown Marvel]

Hyperbole much?

Horrendous? You'd probably gouge your eyes out with a spoon if you saw something that actually was Horrendous.

No, what that pic is is boring.

well, its already set back by the bad costume designs. but also theres some pretty bad anatomy and line work and general character designs.

the tentacle rape one is okay, by jim lee standards. the weird thing is you have superman front and center, then a bunch of torso's popping out from behind him.

 

[Mystirious]

Cyborg stumbled onto the tentacle porn on Aquaman's hard drive (hey, it's normal where he comes from) and got desensitized.

Aquaman forcing octopuses to star in his Atlantean tentacle porn is a source of constant argument between him and the league

Eels are the seas vibrators.

It's how Mera got by while Aquaman was dead

 

[JTStarkiller]

One thing I've always loved about Lee is the way he draws Diana and Lois. That FCBD Diana looks weird though. Nothing like he usually draws her.

EDIT: Although now that I look at it they all seem quite a bit younger. Even younger than they are in JL. Even Batman looks leaner.

Issue 4 Preview

It's 5 pages of Lantern and Aquaman measuring their man parts. I really wanna stick it out for the entire first arc, but this is wearing on me.
