Rumored "Final Crisis" to be supposedly written by Kurt Busiek

[sinewave]

Sweeping events are the foil covers and holographic covers of this period in comics.

exactly. it's just another gimmicky trend. it'll die out eventually, but it's going to get worse before it gets better. i pretty much don't read marvel anymore (except for a small sampling of titles) because they got too gimmicky, and dc's starting to get the same way. there's way too many tie-ins and universe-altering stories going on right now. just keep it simple and tell good stories and they'll sell plenty of comics. this will come back to bite them in the ass. didn't they learn anything from their past mistakes?

I always liked the Crisis's. They have such an epic feel to them. I mean, whats in a name?

This will be the 1st ever Crisis I actually plan on reading. The 1st took place when I was in diapers, I think, or before I was even born, and the2nd Crisis, I skipped in favor for whatever Marvel's big event was at that time (House of M?)

 

[Anubis]

Wow, you made a mistake.

 

[BrianWilly]

Seriously.

 

[batnkevlar]

This guy skipped Infinite Crisis so he could keep up with House of M? What? BLASPHEMY!

"Final" Crisis ? I'll believe that it is "Final" if they don't have another "Crisis" for a decade (at least). More likely "This year's crisis" if you ask me !

I was skeptic at first about another crisis after all these events and the "final" is just laughable.But Kurt Busiek onboard is VERY good news.Maybe this is Kurt's big DC project that's been in the works and rumored for some time.

Now THIS is news worth reporting!! Busiek headlining a DC flagship event?! That's money in the bank and well-worth the hype!

yet another "crisis"?!

It's not exactly like they closed the door at the end of IC??

Well I like what Busiek is doing on Superman so I trust this will be good. I just hope this will really be the final crisis.

It would be nice, but at least some REAL closure to lingering ideas would be better.

Can't freaking wait.

My sentiments exactly.....unless you're being sarcastic.

I was crazy excited for Infinite Crisis because I got back into hardcore collecting at the Hush/Graduation Day era, which was right at the start of build up towards IC. I'm far less pumped for Final Crisis because it seems like they're just trying to ride out the wave as long as possible, but I'm still excited. I love huge crossovers.

The fact that Busiek is writing it leaves me pretty cold. I really wanted either Rucka or Morrison on it.

No thanks to Greg "Thought-bubbles Galore/Everyone's a Lesbian" Rucka OR Grant "Let's Reboot the Silver Age & Pretend It's New/Original" Morrison on this project. Busiek sounds PERFECT!!

Winick's the lesbian dude and Johns is the one who *********es to the Silver Age. Try to get your snarky nicknames to be a little more accurate.

The Morrison one is pretty accurate though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

At least Morrison's got another mode where he creates crazy-ass crap that somehow seems just barely plausible enough to be cool. Johns is all Silver Age, all the time.

Hey, stop bashing Johns. Sinewave might yell at us.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Get sinewave to tell Johns to quit sucking on everything.

Sorry, I'll try to remember that when I'm reading about Bat-Hombre in Morrison's upcoming arc, or next time I reread '52'....

 

[CConn]

I think Morrison is more a "The 50s comics are awesome cause they remind me of the things I see when I take drugs" kind of guy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Morrison doesn't take drugs. That's his story, anyway. I usually just chuckle when I hear it.

 

[Eros]

Morrison is naturally crazy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the drugs actually normalize him enough to process the crap he sees and put it into cohesive stories.

 

[The Leaguer]

I don't think he's ever denied taking drugs. I'm pretty sure there's a video on YouTube somewhere or something where he admits to smoking like a pound a day of pot or something.

EDIT- Here it is, it's only a few minutes in.

 

[Darthphere]

I mean seriously. How can you not think that man takes drugs?

 

[jaydawg]

Was it Morrison who took a **** on himself and not realized it or Moore?

 

[BrianWilly]

Ahahahaha I'm sorry, it's maybe forgiveable if you got one of these wrong but to get both completely wrong? It's just a great moment.

 

[The Leaguer]

Yeah, he f***ed that one up.

 

[BrianWilly]

Yeah seriously.
