Re: Should I read these next ....

A&A had it's moments. What kept me interested was the fact that it largely focused on Armstrong. It built a bit more of his personality and motivations. The art was hard to look at (for me). But I think if this same story had been published with similar art to the original series, it would've b...

Re: Secret Weapons #4 Discussion

Yeah, there did seem to be urgency but my understanding was that he couldn't go back to him 'human form' because he didn't have enough air to swim 40ft to the top. I think there should be a limit to how long he can stay in statue form though, maybe there is but we just haven't found it yet. Well, I...

Re: Shadowman / Rae Sremmurd #1

From the sound of things, this is in continuity? That was the one thing really holding me back... that and I have no clue who Rae Slumberbed are. I see no reason to think it's not in continuity, and I'm not sure any of us know who Rae are, it doesn't really matter because the book tells you what yo...

Re: Shadowman / Rae Sremmurd #1

This was done really well, it was easy to dismiss as *SQUEE* so I'm glad they nailed it. I enjoyed the story a lot, relating Jack, Robert Johnson and Rae actually worked and made a lot of sense. I could see this issue happening without Rae being involved and VEI using a fictionalized version of them...

Re: Faith & The Future Force #3 Discussion

If Livewire reprogrammed him to be on her side she could even do things like Psiot blood drive...

I suspect they must be drawing a connection between the two by debuting them (pretty much) only a week apart. I'd guess Montana contains some remnant Omen technology from whatever created Rampage.

I know it's only been 3 issues (that I've gotten) but I really hope Heisserer stays around and deeply involved for a long time. The idea of him co-writing HW2 with K...

Re: So about Shadowman......

I dont care one way or the other about the ropes, but i very much prefer the Magpie look to the original Shadowman look. I think it fits a supernatural character better, maybe the old look was better for a street level hero, but it's obviously not what they are going to do with him. I was never a fa...

I defended it up through #5, but I can't anymore it's just not good. I give it a D, it's my least favorite of the current titles. If Dysart had finished his story and this was just the next thing for Harbinger I'd be fine with just not caring. Like A&A wasn't very good but I didn't care because ...

Re: Rapture #4 discussion

I liked this and where it went story wise with Shadowman. I think ignoring the past issues is a pitfall for other companies, *SQUEE* happened in his solo books and not dealing with the consequences is bad storytelling. I also agree this really is a Geomancer book but I don't care how they billed it ...

Good issue, I'm more than ready for a large scale XO battle. 3. The relationship with Schon feels false. With Aric's extreme sense of honor, I don't see him violating his vows with his prior wife. Even though he's distant and Schon is obviously wishing he'd care about her and she knows he doesn't --...
