The Official Pull List Discussion thread

[GNR]

I need opinions on the following titles in terms of quality and jumping on points:

Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Birds of Prey
Superman

Sorry to be annoying guys,but I'm in the process of shaking up my list a great deal.

 

[CConn]

I already gave you my opinion of GL and Superman. As for the other two, I'd say they're both pretty solid. Nothing great, but usually something you can always count on for a pretty good read. Especially if you're a fan of the character(s).

Personally I would bother with Xena.

 

[MyPokerShirt]

Amazing Spider-Man
Moon Knight
Hunter Killer
are doing well right now.
For that reason alone I'd give FNSM a chance

Squadron Supreme is still good IMO and New Avengers... wait until the new line-up. Thats what I think, anyway, Wolverine25th. Oh and I really liked Flash... and I've read good reviews of Supergirl but heard its gonna get cancelled??

I have no idea how you can read that many marvel adventures either. Simple stories, somewhat fun? Yes. But I read comics for more than that.

 

[hippy fascist]

Personally I would bother with Xena.

Red Sonja looks far more interesting for that kind of thing

 

[Darthphere]

I need opinions on the following titles in terms of quality and jumping on points:

Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Birds of Prey
Superman

Sorry to be annoying guys,but I'm in the process of shaking up my list a great deal.

Green Lantern- Ive had my problems with this title personally but after almost dropping it in the past, im pretty much sure ill stick with it. Last issue was a huge improvement over the rest of the arc and it seems like the title is on an upswing with the future solicitations. Id give it a try.

Green Arrow-Nothing spectacular, but its a solid read. The current arc just started this week which will deal with his training in the missing year. Seems pretty good, as before, id give a try.

Birds of Prey-Buy it. Its a great title, I honestly think the title is in DC's top 10. IMO.

Superman-Busiek has a good handle on Supes and it seems hes setting a lot of things up that are of particular interest to me. A must.

Thanks Darth,I'm definitely considering GL and SM.BOP maybe as well.

 

[Darthphere]

Seems to me at least that the Superman title is going to examine his personal life and the upcoming Donner/Johns run is the action title.

 

[GNR]

I've enjoyed most of Busiek's stuff.I can see him doing a good job with Supes.

 

[GNR]

I only have 5 books on my list now
****ing college.

Are you away for College?I'm in college as well,and by the looks of things I'll be having almost 12 books on my list by the end of year.I live at home though and school is just one busride away.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Moon Knight is a confusin' jumbled up mess. Not only am I sick of decompression, but th' artwork is sometimes too dark to be comprehended, an' th' panel sizin' & placement sucks.

All Star Superman is a piece of ****, simply. Everythin' this book is about is WHY DC had a Crisis in th' first damn place. You all may regard it as a fun little trip down memory lane. Me, I haven't enjoyed it since it started. So, out th' window it goes. Same with Bats.

Hunter/Killer's been considered since #5 came out, but I'm holdin' off to see if th' story starts to come together finally.

Amazing an' Friendly...I haven't enjoyed 616 Spidey in a looooooooong time. Sensational's th' only one that delivers. But, I ain't droppin' anythin' till after Civil War, JIC.

Squadron an' Sonja are borin'. Only reason I still get Sonja is 'cause th' art is fantastic. But, they have time to improve. Or else.

New Avengers, I'm just sick of characters bein' ass-raped by Bendis.

Xena just started an' I'm a fan of th' show (although I liked Hercules more), so I'm givin' it a chance. If it sucks, it's dropped. What can I say; I'm a Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell ****e.

Supergirl started off interestin', but th' current team is tryin' to do Loeb's weird story style an' it' comin' off just too...weird. But if it's gettin' cancelled, I'll finish th' run out.

As fer th' Adventure titles, they're good fun books an' they make a nice counterbalance to all th' darkness in current 616 books. Sometimes ya just need a break between all th' heavy stuff. Besides, comics used to be fun. Now there's a flashback I can get behind.

What's so confusing about Moon Knight? He's asking Konshu to be Moon Knight again and we've got a secret syndicate who knows about it and wants to eliminate Marc Spector, and they're using Taskmaster. And we get flashbacks of what took Marc Spector into the mess that he is now. I read maybe TWO ISSUES of Moon Knight before I started this series and I understand it just fine. I don't think you're giving it a fair shake.

And All Star Superman. I don't know about you but there is no trip down memory lane for me. I never read any of the Silver Age Superman stories. My experience with Superman is when he died, the rebirth, and several months after that...and that's it. I love this series because it's got FANTASTIC artwork and Grant Morrison is giving us fun and interesting stories that fit into the big scheme of things, that Superman is dying. You didn't like that latest issue with Clark Kent interview Luthor in jail and Parasite was there feeding off of Superman's power, since Clark was there, and Clark was secretly having to use his powers to save Lex's life while letting Lex thing he was saving himself? Well, hey, I guess we all don't have good taste, huh.

Well, if you're sticking with the Spidey titles until Civil War is over then you've got quite some time until you're dropping those, heh.

And you of all people talking about comprehension. I mean, come one, you purposely type like you're Wolverine who spent months at sea with drunken pirates.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I explained what was confusin' in that paragraph if ya bothered to read it fully; has nuttin' to do with th' story which falls under my decompression rant. Th' design of th' book is crap. They need some uniformity in their pages.

And ya know, this is th' ONLY place where people can't understand how I type. My old message boards got it. My old chat rooms got it. My new message boards get it. My new chat room gets it. What's that say about you hype guys then?

Um, people GET it, dude. Heh. You just seem like your ******ed...on purpose. t:

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Then I guess Wolverine was ******ed once since I cultivated this from th' damn comics.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I've read a ton of Wolverine comics and I don't remember him talking like a drunken pirate.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Then ya need to re-read them. And I dunno where th' **** this pirate **** came from, but it's startin' to annoy me. So stop.

 

[SpideyInATree]

I don't need to reread them. I've never seen Wolverine talk like that. I think maybe that's the way YOU want Wolverine to talk, or maybe I just don't have the comics where he talks like that, thank Jesus. t:

And, no, I'm not going to stop if it ever comes up again, haha. If you're going to purposely type like that, which annoys me too because it's HARD to take you seriously, than you're going to have to live with being made fun of.

Pirate boy.

 

[Darthphere]

Wolverine25th can't comprehend a pretty straight forward comic book like Moon Knight, damn imagine him reading anything by Alan Moore.

Imagine him reading anything without pictures more like
