Yeah, that's not what that title said. It's also not what Doc Samson and She-Hulk said, either.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The title is ******ed because it's written by Loeb, and Doc Samson and She-Hulk are prejudiced.

 

[PhotoJones]

What did you think of the actual issue?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't buy that ****.

 

[PhotoJones]

Oh. I liked it. It was fun and the art was awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I saw your review. Loeb's name is a guaranteed no-buy for me, and I'm not even a huge fan of the Hulk anyway.

 

[PhotoJones]

Loeb is entering Bendis territory. His name alone gaurantees that anyone who dislikes him will give him a fair shake on a book.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Loeb's been in Bendis territory since the travesty that was Batman/Superman after Morrison's first arc.

 

[PhotoJones]

One arc put him next to Bendis for you? Damn.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

It -was- a pretty freaking horrible arc.

 

[PhotoJones]

I didn't read it. It may very well have been.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Like Ultimate Daredevil/Elektra, just don't.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

One arc put him next to Bendis for you? Damn.

No, he wrote it for a long time after Morrison's initial arc started the series off. His arcs got progressively worse until I just dropped it in disgust.

 

[PhotoJones]

Didn't Loeb start that series.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Looking back at the credits, yes, he did. I was thinking of JLA Classified, which Morrison wrote the first arc of.

Anyway, Loeb's first arc on that series wasn't bad. I even handled what I would later come to realize was a horrible regression of Lex Luthor's character pretty well at the time. After that, however, it was all downhill.

 

[PhotoJones]

You don't know what you're talking about, do you? Drop the blind hate, dude.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I know exactly what I'm talking about, I just got two titles featuring some of the same characters and the same artist confused. Loeb hasn't written anything good since his collaborations with Sale.

 

[PhotoJones]

Didn't you just say his first few arcs on SM/BM were good?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I said his first arc (singular) on Superman/Batman wasn't bad. It was mildly entertaining, but it wasn't a particularly good story. The rest of his run on that series ranged from mediocre to god-awful.

 

[PhotoJones]

You didn't even know why you don't like Loeb, do you?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I just said why I don't like Loeb.

 

[PhotoJones]

You have no idea.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Only I do.

 

[PhotoJones]

I feel bad for you.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Oh. I liked it. It was fun and the art was awesome.
