The Lightning Saga, JLA/JSA Crossover

[TheCorpulent1]

Snap!

 

[Darthphere]

Stan Lee was a hack.

No doubt, but he still had better pacing.

 

[Mee]

Any word yet on who's up after Meltzer and Benes?

 

[Darthphere]

Chuck Austen and Phillip Tan.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

something tells me you'd still read it^^

 

[Mee]

Chuck Austen and Phillip Tan.

Never heard of Tan. Any good?

 

[Anubis]

Nope, Crap, but not crap enough for that joke to work. Liefield/Austen is the preferred nightmare team.

I'd probably take Rob over Tan.

You wouldn't? Everyone needs a good trainwreck comic.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Tan had some decent moments. He just wasn't consistent at all.

I think the worst artist I've seen in recent memory is Alex Sanchez. He's apparently going to be drawing JSA Classified a lot now, of course, because that's a title I actually enjoyed.

I saw in the DC Solicitations someone did a ****ing disgusting Mr. terrific cover for that book, same dude?

EDIT: Yes, it is.

 

[Anubis]

DAMN!

please, remove it, it makes me ill just looking at it.

 

[Darthphere]

The whole world must see this travesty to the awesomeness of Mr. Terrific.

 

[BrianWilly]

Well thats kind of the point. Meltzer set it up, and you're supposed to say "What the **** is this?" and then Johns comes along and explains it. It's like comic book 101.

It's not just like oh wow suddenly I found out the big secret or something. Until that preview, I seriously had no frakking idea what the plot of this story was. Why was it important for the League the Society to find these people? What did they think was going on? Were the Legionnaires sad to be in the past? Confused? Happy? Determined? Uncomfortable? Resigned? Why are people doing the things that they are doing? The fact that it took four issues to even begin to touch on all this borders on Bendis-esque (Bendesque?) decompression BS.

It's Bendis-esque.

 

[Doc Destruction]

No it isn't, because this plot has interesting, non-telegraphed plot twists with a firm grasp of continuity. It's ANTI-Bendis-esque-nicity.

 

[Darthphere]

Oh snap!

BrianWilly vs Doc Destruction.

Lets watch!

 

[Mee]

So JLA is going from meh, to suck. Yay...

 

[Darthphere]

Not at all.

 

[Mee]

Not at all.

Did I miss something?

Meltzer and Benes right now, meh.

Austen and Tan...suck?

 

[Darthphere]

It was a joke.

 

[Mee]

Funny too.

 

[The Leaguer]

Not at all.

You're right, it's always been at suck.

 

[Darthphere]

You're right, it's always been at suck.

Dude, you're losing your edge. That response was predictable.

 

[The Leaguer]

No s*** it's predictable. Anyone who's actually been reading the title already knew it. Welcome to the real world.
