Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 13, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 "For The Man Who Has Everything" is pretty damn good, and has the single best Superman panel I've ever seen, when he looks up at Mongul with heat-vision-infused eyes and utters one word:Â "BURN." Because I'm in a generous mood (and my phone needs a new wallpaper: Â Â Thanks, that's brilliant. Â Â When was Dr. Light in the JLA? Â Â Â I think I'd like to get into reading Jonah Hex at some point - I hear nothing but good stuff about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The JLA were looking for Dr Light in connection with Sue Dibny's murder. Deathstroke was defending him for cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamTheGreat Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 oh yes. That's a t-shirt now. And very nice it is too. if only they would do a "I'm with rowdy yates block, who you fighting with?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted January 15, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 All-time favourite single comic panel might be an interesting thread. There's some great ones from JTHM but I rather like this one. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Zeus Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Has anyone bought any of the Watchmen Motion Comics on iTunes? I've read reviews which are pretty favourable, aside from the complaints of one guy reading all male and female parts. The concept didn't really appeal to me but the feedback has me intrigued, just not sure I want to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlightmagnet1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've been trying to think of a single panel shot of a comic which i thought was really cool and wasn't mentioned. I like the early part of Hush where Batman has fallen into Crime Alley and you see him all battered on the floor. Â The other one which springs to mind is Jeese Custer swearing at his grandmother and just looking mad as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 19, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Anybody have an opinion on "The Brave And The Bold"? I've just received a mail-shot from Amazon offering 40% off on Vol. 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Get it. The current storyline is limping, but the opening arc was great fun. Â Assuming you mean the current series and not the classic? I'd probably advise you to buy that as well, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Rod Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've always wondered why Knightfall seems to get a negative reception online. Halfway through reading the final part, Knightsend, I can see exactly why. This end novel is just awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Does Knightfall get a negative reaction? Azrael as Batman is a horrible idea, but it was always going to be temporary and, really, was just the DC editors showing those tedious fans who always want Batman to kill people how much damage it would do to the concept. So in a way (Taking into account how shit and contemporary the AzBat costume is as well) it's a massive fuck you to 90s Superhero comics, therefore awesome. And the story itself is written by some fantastic creators in part (Grant, Moench, O'Neil) with loads of gorgeous Jim Aparo artwork. So yeah, all the stuff up to Wayne getting his back broken is great, the stuff with Valley in the big chair is sometimes crap, but for a reason, and it ends OK. Â Of course, they followed it up with Prodigal, which is atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently so. I don't frequent many comic/graphic novel discussion sites or whatever but my friend apparently does and he commented on it before I bought part one. I think that parts one and two are brilliant, it's just the first half of part three was so bad it almost ruined the first two. There's also this huge time jump where Bruce is suddenly able to walk and has been training and such. If they're gonna sell Knightsend as Knightfall Part 3 they should at least add in some of what happened since part two.  That being said, the third one is picking up slightly at the moment. Catwoman and Nightwing are annoying as hell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members CoreyVandal Posted January 23, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 John August to Write Preacher Source:The Hollywood Reporter January 22, 2009  The Hollywood Reporter says that screenwriter John August will pen the comic book adaptation Preacher for director Sam Mendes and Columbia Pictures.  Preacher is based on the popular 1990s DC/Vertigo series created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. It tells the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher, given immense powers, who teams up with a former girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and sets out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.  Neal Moritz is producing through his Original Films banner along with Kickstart Prods.' Jason Netter  So it's in the hand's of the guy who wrote Big Fish. Sounds promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted January 23, 2009 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I just finished reading Knightfall parts 1 and 2 so I have a hankering for some other unique Batman graphic novels if anyone could recommend any? Ignoring the obvious Frank Miller books. Â Try Arkham Asylum. Very unique, very dark, very strange. Well worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
