Just awful.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-58180316983159645622008-07-26T16:02:00.000-04:002008-07-26T16:02:00.000-04:00Jones pulled the same crap when he wrote Hulk. He ...Jones pulled the same crap when he wrote Hulk. He also was responsible for a low point in Nightwing's history, the "You're *Gasp* METAHUMAN?" story. Thank God Peter Tomasi is now doing NW right.<BR/><BR/>And if you want another book where Nightwing is done right, read the conclusion to the Nanda Parbat story in Brave & Bold. You'll be glad you did.notinthefacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537680561821564347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-68030194740910840202008-07-22T15:24:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:24:00.000-04:00Yep.

Barring that, I wish that Eric Trautman (who co-wrote some of it with Rucka) or John Ostrander were writing it.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Rob Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446903261816405382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-72243376121995808802008-07-17T10:40:00.000-04:002008-07-17T10:40:00.000-04:00Well, I just picked up Checkmate, and I think I ha...Well, I just picked up Checkmate, and I think I have to agree with you, that it's a bit tedious. There was a tiny glimpse of Fire, and the Black king or the White King, or whatever his name is, and that was it. I want some spy shenanigans, not a bunch of monsters fighting each other. CONFUSING monster fights at that. <BR/><BR/>Too bad, really. <BR/><BR/>What I REALLY want, is for Fire and Ice to join the Birds of Prey.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
