The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

[Franklin Richards]

People volunteer for the Navy all the time. Some don't however.

And those guys get the cudgel.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess this must've been in Hal's comic or something. Not really surprising that the love corps would be totally hypocritical, though.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Well I'm taking Carol Ferris' history in mind as well. Also I'm making a metaphor for those B-Mod Chambers they seem to be using.



:gl: :gl: :gl:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Isn't Carol Ferris sort of a different story? I mean, Black Hand isn't a dead guy, even after Johns retconned the living hell out of his origin to squeeze it into his current grand master plan for the GLs' corner of the universe.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Yes, but like Sinestro her deeds have shaped the "vehicle" of her Corps. Whether through the power of Morrison's Story Power or contrivances.

I'm still confused about that Nero guy though.


:gl: :gl: :gl:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why?

 

[Franklin Richards]

Oh I was being a little facetious. The pre-fear yellow guys are still kinda iffy.


:gl: :gl: :gl:

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I was disappointed that Guy's yellow-ring past didn't come up during the Sinestro Corps stuff. I mean, really, if the Sinestro Corps is meant to be the nemeses of the GLC, they've got a perfect set-up: Hal and Sinestro, Kyle and Alex Nero, John and... well, they could find someone for John, and then Guy vs. himself, basically, and his own darker impulses that allowed him to use a yellow ring for years and years. But they never capitalized on all of that. Yeah, it's an antimatter-verse ring rather than a Sinestro Corps ring, but Johns has shown he's not above retconning like a motherf***er for the emotional spectrum's sake.

Its okay I like the All-star batman for its art sadly and somewhat the story, what about Hush? And if you can link me to these like what they look like it would be great! I like Batman and Robin but I just want a variety I mean I know a lot about GL but I need some classics to my collection. I mean yes Batman is good its just need more if you guys know what I mean. I am up to any suggestions. I know more about DC but I wanna know more bout Marvel. I hardly know about Dark Horse and Vertigo(besides V for Vendetta). I mean I know a lot about the main characters but I wanna know about characters that no one hardly knows about ,I know a lot for my age but honestly and I don't mean to be cocky at all! So just give more suggestions and don't suggest Batman cause I have a lot of it I mean I need more than just one hero. I hope I made my point and sorry if I repeated like 100 times.

 

[Hush]

Hush is really good if you want to see Batman face like 50% of all his villians and a good detective story. It was a good time. Same art as Batman and Robin, so you know its good.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

ugh, Hush was one of the most over-rated stories out there. it was one of Loeb's trademark "villain of the month" stories, and it was riddled (heh) with plot holes. and the ending was rather anti-climatic to me.

all the bad stuff said, the art was great. and the Batman/Catwoman interaction was cool too.

I just hold the opinion that Loeb should stick to writing his Marvel color books and leave it at that.

 

[Bnightwing]

Well symbiote just send me a PM of your suggestion of Marvel stuff I have looked at the person called 'Moon Knight"

 

[Hush]

Nah it was just the fact that Loeb was wokring with someone other than Sale that got it all the hype. He is reading it with out all the the hype so it will be different for him.

They showed it in GLC too. There's people like Miri who are have a choice, and then there's captured Sinestro Corps members like Fatality and Kryb who are literally being brainwashed into believing in love.

I get the idea that the Zamarons are as stubborn/corrupt as the Guardians, and it'll probably lead to their downfall.

I was disappointed that Guy's yellow-ring past didn't come up during the Sinestro Corps stuff.

It was briefly mentioned; when Hal was using the yellow rings, Guy boasted that he used Sinestro's own ring for a while. John mentioned that it made him so aggressive he was picking fights with Alan Scott all the time. Can't remember if that's canon or not.

I didn't think they were brainwashing them into becoming Sapphires themselves. I thought that was their version of the Sciencells.

Right, I forgot about that.

Is the DC absolute series worth it?

 

[Green Lantern]

Absolutely I have Crisis and Watchmen Absolute editions, and there is so much bang for your buck. The art is beautiful and enlarged, and the bonuses are neat.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

you should definitely spring for the Absolute New Frontier. its just gorgeous. I friggin love Darwin Cooke.

 

[CBG]

is the dc absolute series worth it?

absolutely.

 

[Hush]

I have two absolutes. They are more than worth it!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't have any. I was waiting for the full Sandman series to come out in Absolute format, but now that it has, they're just too expensive.

 

[Anubis]

I have Kingdom Come, New Frontier, and Hush. I got all of em for like 40 bucks apiece, back when Amazon was giving huge discounts on them. Now I think they charge full price. So, in summation. He who hesitates *********es.

 

[Manic]

What can the Absolute editions give you that you can't get elsewhere? I remember my comic shop had the Absolute edition of DC: The New Frontier, but I bought the two trade paperbacks instead because they were significantly cheaper.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Absolutes are bigger than the trades or the hardcovers. Like, a lot. If you're into art, you get a much better look at the artists' work with Absolutes. I don't know what other sorts of extras they have, since I don't own any.

Like Corpy said, the art is significantly enlarged and in every case I know of, recolored to be crisper and cleaner looking. With Watchmen, you get character design sketches, and one of Moore's scripts for the story. With Crisis, you get an entire freaking book of extras. A checklist of every Crisis related book. Character sketches by Perez. Cover sketches. A look at the development of both the idea and the series complete with pictures of notes from the desks of Marv and Len. Absolute Editions are worth it if you are a fan of the book in question, if you're just wanting to read a story for the first time, maybe not.
