  1. I only ever managed to see a few episodes of JLU and they were pretty good.

     

    Wasn't there some silly ban enforced on certain Batman characters though because of The Batman cartoon and/or Nolan movies?

    there was.And early on aquaman was scraped as a perminant member because they had a live action pilot they thought was gonna be a winner at the time. So in came hawk girl. The teen titians weren't allowed either. Although Speedy appears in one episode. Thatshow still has some of the best voice acting ever, especially Michael Rosenbaum and I loved how Batman became such a pimp

  2. I only get the trades, so I've not read the latest. I think it's the same artist on long cold dark that did baracuda's one off. I felt it hit and miss. Not a patch on steve dillon who out did himself in the return of ma gnucchi. The look on Frank's face when the mob boss surrenders was epic :laugh:

  3. I think Ennis is aware of how one demesional Frank Castle can be, hence the captions/ tought boxes. Spotlight magent mentions the slavers. It's probably the most powerful of the max series. The scene where he repeatedly throws that woman into the bullet proof window until the frame gives. You can feel the rage coming through, yet Ennis writes just how pintless Castle's war on crime is. He mentions how can't stop all trafficking.

    The Boys hasn't reached that level yet. I think Ennis enjoys the shock value of ripping into superhero mythos. Especially DareDevil for some reason (full blown aids). But I have a feeling MM's back story might just deliver on the pathos front. But personally I love Billy Butcher as a character. I haven't read Herogasm. That will come out as a trade paperback right?

  4. That photo of Patricia Heaton dopper posted is the worst one of her I've ever seen, she looks constipated

     

    funny you mention that. I saw her (and that red carpet event) in some thing about fad diets and to slim down for that dress and event she had several colonic irrigations

  5. Dead Snow, only a tenner in fop. Imagine a Scandinavian Evil Dead crossed with Wolfenstein 3D and you're pretty much there. For film with such a low budget it's quite impressive what they manage to do, There's a couple of really good gory bits and a few laughs, but it's obvious devotion to the genre (one character is wearing a t-shirt of Peter Jackson's braindead) it doesn't rise to the level if the films it pays homage to. And the sex scene in it just annoyed me, as did most of the non-zombie characters. But it does have one of the greatest tag lines of all time; EIN! ZWEI! DIE!

  6. just got 'round to reading volume 3 of the boys. Funny as always (wagh mahhh hammmstergghh baaaacgh :laugh: ) and really teasing us with the various motivations and back stories (or lack of).

    Has anyone read the latest Punisher max; girls in white dresses? Is it worth getting after Ennis' stellar run?

  7. Yeah, i'll agree with that but i still enjoy Sinister Dexter especially during Christmas specials where they usually inject a load of humour. Nikolai i'm enjoying now more than i did say 10 years ago. Dante the rogue is alot better than Dante the unoffical prince.

     

    yeah, the sword of the stzar thing has really been excellent and struck the right ballance between gritty action and the devil may care attitude of Dante

  8. The Civil War collection is a bit hit and miss. I know people who love it and people who hate it. I'm not saying you shouldn't pick it up but just be aware it might come off as well as you think.

     

    Just a personal note, i've dropped the name several times now but is there no one else on this thread who reads Sinister Dexter or Nikolai Dante? Both are 2000AD creations and i love them. Especially early Sinister Dexter. The artist is incredible. Simon Davies

     

    I'm a 200ad reader. Nikolai Dante has kept strong but I feel Sinister Dexter just lost some of it's momentum after the euro crash where Demi Octavo copped it
