it’s possible, but then every male character since this storyarc began has treated Ororo as little more than window dressing, except for Medusa.

Is it possible that Namor being written as a misogynistic character is different from the book itself being misogynistic?

Just sayin’.

Seven Soldiers #1 was probably the best comic I’ve read since All-Star Superman #5. That is to say, it was bloody brilliant.

i’ve got to agree completely with laura’s assesment of the boys. there’s something seriously wrong with this book. i enjoyed the first two issues mostly thanks to a nifty premise and some interesting characters, but it’s time to see these things start to pay off, rather than degenerate further into gross-out jokes and “shocking” scenes (the goth-superhero cutting herself? come on garth, be a little more obvious why dontcha) i was getting tired of this series by the last issue, but i held on because it seemed like the stage was set for a bit of the old ultra-violence. what we get instead is pointless exercises in sexual perversion and the “threat” of losing the one character who the reader could possibly identify with. stop playing with my heart, garth!

Clark always wants to raise the friggin’ kid! remember what happened when Kara rocketed to Earth? he got all protective of her. i just don’t care about how much he cares for other Kryptonians anymore (his neglect of Kandor aside).

i’m making a prediction right here: when we find out that this kid isn’t Kryptonian, Clark’s gonna drop him like a bad habit.

i think your review of superman was harsh. and if it is their version of the film, then it’s already a million times better. why? superman was actually a man and not some whiny, emo, crybaby. he’s actually powerful and amazing and not bland. and please that super-bullet thing was the biggest waist of special effects i’ve ever scene. yeah we know bullets can;t hurt superman, even his eyes. that scene was pointless too. those villains took the time to set up a gatling gun, while they robbed a bank. i guess they didn’t want to get away.

but back to the comic. it wasn’t as good as busiek’s current run on the other title but still enteraing. and best of all superman decides to actually raise the kid, even though it isn’t his son. which is him acting like he should and not like in the movie, where he leaves the kid with blond lois and cyclops.

i was totally right: Seven Soldiers was almost (almost) unintelligble. oh, Grant’s so crazy…

more pans than picks this week it seems. and the most praise given was for a couple of image reprints. better luck next week marvel & dc lol.

scanner’s note on boys — i chose not to go with the first four pages like we usually do because they were so raunchy that i pictured having potential problems about having them up on the site :O
