I hope it doesn't turn into angsty Grell-era type stuff with the new creative team.<BR/><BR/>I am dissapointed Roy hasn't been in the book lately though.

I also read Killraven and Man-Thing way back when, and Wolverine when he was out of costume. I really loved the book then, but after he went back in costume, the book started to annoy me and I dropped it. Every so often, something like the White Tiger mini grabs me and I'll read it, but nothing right now.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I'm difficult to annoy. ;)ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-3211609273757542352008-06-18T17:59:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:59:00.000-04:00Hey again Shelly.

That means I will be able to stick around without being an irritant! lol<BR/><BR/>Since I grew up on Marvel I think the DC uni. is much more difficult for me to accept since the history isn't there for me.<BR/><BR/>Do you ever read Marvel?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695590922280222501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-53252645787682649002008-06-18T17:38:00.000-04:002008-06-18T17:38:00.000-04:00Hi, Jon, Thanks for your comments.

The Wonder Woman one went on a bit longer than I'd intended, for ex, because I had a lot to say. :)<BR/><BR/>As for Final Crisis, it wasn't the boffo start 52 had, but I'm a easy to entertain reader and it takes a lot to annoy me. So, we'll see. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for adding me to your blog reading. Comment again. Comment often! :)ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-68815078400881955652008-06-18T13:02:00.000-04:002008-06-18T13:02:00.000-04:00Hey Shelly and crew.

I am new to your blog but found it very interesting and enjoyed reading your quick reviews and your insight.<BR/><BR/>And, since I am a newb...I think I will respond to your first paragraph by voting for more short reviews...you say a lot in each short review. Don't they say Brevity is the soul of wit?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am now going to have to go check out the Green Lantern that I have been missing. I dropped it at about 15 and it sounds like I am missing a bunch of new and interesting material.<BR/><BR/>However, I disagree with your take on Final (but probably not final) Crisis. Great cover art, but it felt messy again. But I am a Marvel boy by history so I might have been missing some of the tones in the first issue. But I have to say I have been burned by one too many mini/maxi series from DC lately. <BR/><BR/>Those are my thoughts...thanks for your writing, I added your blog in my rss feeds and can't wait to read more.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695590922280222501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-13155323751904631932008-06-17T16:20:00.000-04:002008-06-17T16:20:00.000-04:00I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been disappoin...I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been disappointed with Gail's WW. I'm a fan of both WW and Gail, but WW isn't one of my big faves. For female characters, I prefer the original Supergirl, Black Canary, Manhunter, well, heck, anyone in BoP pretty much. And Gail's one of the best comics writers out there. But WW is not her best work.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-88730741970638601282008-06-17T14:40:00.000-04:002008-06-17T14:40:00.000-04:00You have put into words my feelings regarding WW a...You have put into words my feelings regarding WW and the series-- maybe because I'm not a giant size WW fan--I guess it hasn't capsulated Gail's humor due to the nature of WW---RedheadFangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130452058774732168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-63836878667294728602008-06-16T11:47:00.000-04:002008-06-16T11:47:00.000-04:00You're right, Sally.

It's a nifty bit of plotting/writing.ShellyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183404615688013084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15520935.post-81315087390509426142008-06-16T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-16T11:40:00.000-04:00You would think that we've all seen enough of Hal'...You would think that we've all seen enough of Hal's origin by now, but Ivan Reis and Geoff Johns just keep bringing more and more goodies to the plate. And, incidentally, filling us in on some of those little details left over from the Sinestro Corps War, as well as some subtle foreshadowing for Blackets Night.<BR/><BR/>I've been enjoying Huntress, it is a little different from the usual super fare, but nicely done.<BR/><BR/>They brought back the Weird in Rann/Thanagar War! I have that mini-series, and it was...ummm...weird.<BR/><BR/>Booster Gold has been nothing but spectacular. It also made me tear up something awful.<BR/><BR/>I can't quite figure out if Judd Winick wants to have a lighthearted romp in Green Arrow/Black Canary, or a grim and gritty murder mystery. There are some rather nice moments of levity, which usually, I'd be all for, but then we are reminded that Connor is in a COMA for heaven's sake,and perhaps they should stop all the guffawing, and get on with it! The perpetual back and forth, is starting to annoy me.<BR/><BR/>I liked Final Crises. It had Green Lanterns in it.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
