1. Spell Astonishing right.

2. Having All-Star Batman and Robin on your list isn't something to be proud of.

3. Titles that I read
The All-New Atom - A great title by Gail Simone. I enjoy rooting for Ryan every month. Cancellation however, inevitable :csad:

The Amazing Spider-Man - It's time for JMS to go. He's done some great things but he's been on it long enough and editorially mandated crap such as Sins Past, Civil War, the Other, etc. has made this book languish. I've been enjoying the "Back in Black" story though.

Astonishing X-Men - I love Whedon's dialogue and characterization. Also the roster is pretty damn cool.

Avengers: The Initiative - Slott has turned a title that has just started with two issues into one of my favorites.

Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis - Aquaman is my favorite superhero and I miss Orin dearly. But I like Busiek's new direction that he took with the book and Williams is delivering some rather humorous twists to it along with picking up elements from the previous direction that I liked such as Lorena and Sub Diego. Shame cancellation is immenent.

Batman - I'm loving Morrison's take on Batman and Bruce Wayne. I do wish that Damien's impact would affect other books though.

Birds of Prey - I like Simone's take on making an all female JLA, though her run on the title appears to have peaked. Can't wait for McKeever to take over.

Brave and the Bold - I'm surprised that this title isn't selling better. Considering that Waid is writing and Perez is doing the art.

Cable & Deadpool - Hillarious. Deadpool is another one of my favorite characters.

Captain America - Brubaker is my favorite writer and his run on Captain America is one of the best runs ever

Daredevil - Again, Brubaker fanboy, but this title is consistently good.

Fantastic Four - McDuffie is doing a great job on this title. Much better than JMS'.

the Flash: The Fastest Man Alive - Marc Guggenheim has saved this book.

Green Arrow - Even though this title is languishing, it's a damn shame that it's getting canceled. I like the Green Arrow character. It's time for Green Arrow to get a new writer when it gets relaunched under Green Arrow/Black Canary.

Green Lantern - Started off a little weak but it has gotten a lot better. And yes, I like Hal Jordan as Green Lantern.

Green Lantern Corps - Best Green Lantern title.

Immortal Iron Fist - The Brubaker fanboy in me made me pick this up but I'm glad I did.

the Incredible Hulk - Pak's "Planet Hulk" storyline was awesome and World War Hulk is going to be great!

Iron Man - It's great to read a book where Iron Man does not come off as a *****e.

Justice League of America - Craptacular roster and snails pace story aside, Meltzer is delivering some solid writing here.

Justice Society of America - This is Johns' best title.

Manhunter - Glad to see that this title is not getting canceled.

the Mighty Avengers - After crap such as Avengers Disassembled and his earlier issues of New Avengers, Bendis finally proves that he can write the Avengers. Great roster and art too.

the New Avengers - Started off with a bad start, but it's gotten much better. I like the new direction that they're an underground team and the only people that consider them Avengers are themselves.

Nova - A great start so far for this title.

Outsiders - Another title of Winick's that has been languishing since OYL. I was first excited for Batman taking over the team, but with August's solicitations, I'm rather fearful of the roster going completely downhill.

Punisher: War Journal - Picked it up for the Civil War tie-in, but reading this made me discover the awesomeness of Matt Fraction.

Superman - A solid book by Busiek. I am loving Pacheco's art and I want to see more of this Khyber character.

Teen Titans - Quality declined under OYL, but when McKeever comes on board, that will all change.

Thunderbolts - Even though Ellis' concept bastardizes the concept of the Thunderbolts, the title has been pretty damn cool since he took over. It's not like the team is going to stay this way anyways.

Uncanny X-Men - Brubaker fanboy and I've been enjoying what he's doing to the title. Even though it dragged on a bit, I liked "Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire."

Wolverine - Loeb's run started off great, but is currently going downhill from the same s**t happening every issue and the plot is just not really advancing fast enough for me.

Wonder Woman - Pointlessly relaunched, but Heinberg's writing was awesome. Delays hurt this book badly and now we have he so-so Jodi Picoult. Can't wait for Simone to take this book over.

and yes hippie you liking this book is highly dissapointing too.s Seriously are you and darth sharing the same brain cells?
No, because we disagree alot on Justice League of America also for completely different reasons. I completely hate this roster for example. I also happen to like Hal Jordan.

These are all reasons why your opinions suck as badly GAH's.
 
3. Titles that I read
The All-New Atom - A great title by Gail Simone. I enjoy rooting for Ryan every month. Cancellation however, inevitable
I would have like to read it but, I couldn't stand someone else than Ray Palmer.
Birds of Prey - I like Simone's take on making an all female JLA, though her run on the title appears to have peaked. Can't wait for McKeever to take over.
Aha! Of course. That's my favourite book. Unlike you, I'm not holding my breath for McKeever. This title is great.
the Flash: The Fastest Man Alive - Marc Guggenheim has saved this book.
I hear here and there that it's good now but I can't accept Bart. I think the G.Johns run was perfect. I can't "adapt" myself to Bart.
Manhunter - Glad to see that this title is not getting canceled.
I was wondering if it worth it. I read her lastly in Birds of Prey and I like her a lot. Is her serie the same kind (missions/spy/ "exotic places")
Wonder Woman - Pointlessly relaunched, but Heinberg's writing was awesome. Delays hurt this book badly and now we have he so-so Jodi Picoult. Can't wait for Simone to take this book over.
I liked Heinberg, but the last issue were just "meh", I think I'm going to drop the book. When does Simone take it ?
I also happen to like Hal Jordan.
I happen to have the same bad taste than you. :up:
 
Good Lord, I never thought I'd say this, the people who are insulting GAH's opinions but saying they like Meltzer's JLA are showing hideous irony.

Dude, get over it. If GAH was talking about liking Green Lantern you would be right there with us insulting his ass, stop being a hypocrite.
 
I don't understand how anything involving *********ion could be bad.

Wow, you totally missed the point, didn't you. I was attacking hippie_hunter, not defending GAH. Explain to me how attacking erroneous statements, regardless of who they're from, is hypoctritical.

You just hate Hal Jordan with an extreme passion :o

And no one's opinions can suck as badly as GAH's.

What does Hal Jordan have to do with this? :confused: And yours obviously suck about as bad as GAH's.

How is an opinion an erronesous statement? Wait, forget it, I'm not going into this.
 
I think I'd be enjoying this a lot more if I knew who the Legion of Superheroes were and who some of the members of the Justice League were. Some of them I never really ever heard of before. I'm actually a little upset that the books are crossing over like this because I only want to read Justice Society gosh darnit. :cmad:

But I have to say that Ed Benes is a freakin' great artist and I'm tempted to get the Justice League book just for the pretty eye candy. But...I'd rather have awesomeness overall than just pretty pictures.


Benes is a great artist!! Man , I stopped reading BOP shortly after he left. His pencils ar great. Great detail.

I just read JLA #9...... What a great twist at the end with the Legion pulling the fast one on the JLA. But I will be veeeery disappointed to know that hey got the drop on Batman. :batman: He's always suspicious...always watching. Really kinda surprised he even granted Timberwolf his request for them to be alone. Surely he's planted a tracer on them or something......

Big shocker to find out Powergirl put the moves on Hawkman....and he said no! :wow: I guess she's not use to that response! I wonder if Hawkgirl will do the same. somehow, I think it will be different with Kendra.

Mr. Terrific's sneaky way of trying to get inside Reddy was funny. Dinah was with that one all the way.
 
Seriously, I'm really bored of writers telling you nothing for the first 3/4ths of an arc, then dumping all the developments, climax, and denouement into the last issue or two. Whatever happened to the kind of pacing where you're engaging the reader with something new and interesting in each issue, all of which builds to a climax and resolution in the last or penultimate issue?

That died with the dinosaurs.
