Hum the artwork of Sheena is not even interesting or pleasing to the eyes. :-/

And gosh the story bring nothing new to the character.

I was looking for some pulp fun but I din’t even find it.

“over writing dialogue such that it cramps the page” this sounds familiar – Wreckless Abanoded style almost, whatever happened to that?

I’m an idiot. If only I had re-read what I wrote. Thanks for letting me know.

I’m sorry, what exactly is “Hb:DC?”

I gave myself a day to try and figure that out, but couldn’t do it, so let me know, eh?

“Crossing Midnight” is amazing.

It’s a bit of a slow burn, but it’s incredibly rich story-telling. The way Carey has used an almost dream-like portrayal of the supernatural is really something special. It is accurate to say the narration of backstory has been expiation, but there have been clever ways of doing so — one man aged with each word he said giving it an interesting narrative style. Also, for this to be a contemporary myth/folktale (which I clearly what it is trying to be) it has to have some of that — the history and the narration style(s). The pay off is the establishing of what’s to come and understanding the world the twins are now a part of.

“Hb:DC” for me has been much slower and very boring in comparison. It’s still enjoyable, but I’d “CM” is a hundred times better.

Not really sure about the beef with “X-Men” either. There were some f-ups on Ramos’s part. (When aren’t there?) But I thought the story straddled milestone and arc-opener issue well. *shrugs*

Marvel Adventures: Avengers is the best team book Marvel publishes, PERIOD, though it’s likely that’s primarily because it’s so under the radar. It’s not “for kids”, it’s “kid-friendly”; the difference between Dora the Explorer and Shrek. I’m following it via the digests — even post-divorce — and love it. Highly recommended!
