Secret Wars has been good as a story I guess, but it would appear that they save all the action sequences for the offshoot titles. Not much of anything action wise has happened in the main storyline (the T'Challa angle in the new issue does have promise, though).
You wait and watch - Molecule Man has been "saving" the old realities in some pocket universe with the power of the combined Beyonders, and will let it all lose when Doom pisses him off at some point. That or all the cosmic entities are hiding in that bright room with him, just biding their time when they and MM can strike. |

COMIC BOOK PEOPLE
I just finished volumes 1 & 2 of Injustice: Gods Among Us, which are graphic novels inspired by the video games.
I don't want to give anything away, but I would highly recommend it. The art is fantastic and the storyline is pretty cool. It was great to see Batman being a badass dickhead and an unbound Superman. Superman is so ****ing awesome when he's not holding back. |

Yeah, I liked those a lot more than I thought I would. I second this recommendation.

Did a little traveling this week and got caught up on some stuff.
We Stand On Guard is awesome. Reading Saga on an airplane is hard when you've got a nice little retiree lady doing crosswords next to you and you never know whether the next page will be a robot orgy or not. The Civil War series from Secret Wars was actually really good. Didn't expect that. The Star Wars Shattered Empire weekly is worth it. |

Aquaman is ****ing awesome.
I'm currently in the midst of reading his New 52 run. I'm on volume 3 "Throne of Atlantis". The art is incredible. Seriously. Probably the best I've ever seen. And the storylines have been pretty gripping thus far. Atlantis is currently at war with the surface world where I'm reading and the Justice League is getting involved. Shit just got real. |

I've seen a few of your snarky posts in other threads so I know you're a comic book elitist douche. I'm not interested in getting into a debate with you because I'm not really knowledgeable. I mentioned a few days ago that I had been reading the Injustice graphic novels but prior to that and this Aquaman run I hadn't read a comic book in probably 10 years. Anyway, the artist involved in the New 52 is Ivan Reis. He does some good work. I really love the way they draw and color Aquaman. |

It appears that I'm partial to Jim Lee:

I was going to say "looks like a generic Jim Lee rip off" but you figured it out yourself.
He certainly deserves his reputation but bleh, these days every C-list artist does his style so it's no longer a special thing anymore. He himself also trains artists to specifically draw like him or ink or do fill ins for him (not saying it's a bad though). -- Can't say I'm a fan of the bronze age and older stuff art either, I understand the technical limitations they had back then but I can't really go back and be wowed by anything. The earliest stuff that really struck me was probably Dave McKean, then Alex Ross or Phil Jimenez. Lots and lots of great artists today, but my favorite bosses are Frazer Irving, Frank Quitely, and J.H Williams III. Irving is by far my favorite, the shit he's able to put on a page blows my mind every time. When I read his Batman & Robin for the first time it didn't even occur to me that comics could look like that. Let's be honest, his joker is one of the creepiest: ![]() |
