And don't think I don't adore you for peddling Kick-Ass and thusly giving The Stop even more money. +245 points. <BR/><BR/>DC stuff not written by Grant worth picking up: many numbered. I'll see <I>you</I> and your wallet Weds.<BR/><BR/>Kirk: The link'll be up, thanks for it. The shot of her is too priceless to be missed.<BR/><BR/>"I think the "it's a weekly" excuse for lack of content is weak and if it can't deliver a good story once a week, it shouldn't be weekly in the first place."<BR/><BR/>And I agree--if this week's issue is motionless, than I'll be firmly on the opinion lawn that it should be bi-weekly. We are all extremely bitter wallets and expect to see something amazing instantly to justify the purchase. <BR/><BR/>I'll be giving Trinity two issues to prove itself as a worthy weekly expense. Perhaps DC should have given their readers a bit of a break before launching straight into another weekly after the Disaster That Was Countdown.<BR/><BR/>And regarding Manhunter, I wished for the exact same thing as I was reading it. I hope that new readers pop onto Wiki for some background on the Awesomeness That Is so that this book doesn't get buried in the dirt again.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link on your site, btw. Quite nice.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231032292970942791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-76397266852875078042008-06-09T07:19:00.000-07:002008-06-09T07:19:00.000-07:00I enjoyed Robin / Spoiler Special. It wasn't grea...I enjoyed <B>Robin / Spoiler Special</B>. It wasn't great, but it was still a lot of fun to read and it's great to see Spoiler alive and kicking again. Now we just need a Batgirl / Spoiler Special that redeems Batgirl from the hack job Beechan and DiDio have done on her.<BR/><BR/>I get scans of most of the "kick-ass" moments from comics every week and post them on my blog. I'd post the individual link to the last page of <B>Kick-Ass #3</B>, but Blogger has some kind of anti-hot-linking coding that makes the images never appear. If you or your readers want to see it, you can hit up my <B><A HREF="http://www.weeklycrisis.com/2008/06/comic-book-moments-of-week-for-060408.html" REL="nofollow">Moments of the Week</A></B> post for it and several other images from comics of last week.<BR/><BR/>I loved the little girl (I forget the name, but Millar said it in an interview somewhere) and the rooftop jumping scene. <BR/><BR/><BR/>As for <B>Trinity</B>, I found it good, but, as you say, slow. After two years of "it's a weekly, it's allowed to be slow" and watching the trainwreck that was Countdown unfold and, like passerby's, being unable to look away and stop reading it, I'm not willing to get sucked into another weekly that may or may not deliver.<BR/><BR/>I think the "it's a weekly" excuse for lack of content is weak and if it can't deliver a good story once a week, it shouldn't be weekly in the first place. They could have easily did a bi-weekly or two issues every 1.5 months like Bags was doing on Ultimate Spider-Man and then give us full 22 page stories instead of 10-12 page fluff pieces with teh odd payoff (yes, that's a little harsh for it being only the first issue, but even 52, for how great it was, only really had Black Adam ripping a guy in half for its first 25 or so issues before there was finally any incredible payoffs. Countdown had none. Hard to say where Trinity will fall). <BR/><BR/><BR/>More love for <B>Manhunter</B>! Woot! I almost wish they had gone with a new issue #1 to try and lure in some new readers. Despite hating that practice, Manhunter is so good, I'd rather more new readers and a cheap relaunch than to have it cancelled in a year's time due to poor sales like Shadowpact or what have you.Kirk Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458175001451977684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555405196944746092.post-18260212156739578072008-06-06T18:54:00.000-07:002008-06-06T18:54:00.000-07:00Hey it's Mike the Marvel fan you love to hate.Sece...Hey it's Mike the Marvel fan you love to hate.<BR/><BR/>Seceret Invasion is getting on rather slow, but they are cramming so much into the avengers books as well, plus I'll give Bendis the benifit of doubt cause of powers, and Yu earns him a stay of execution with great art... however I agree one hundred percent that if Tony Stark is a skrull Bendis should be flogged to death in streets. ruining Stark's mistakes by giving him a free "OH it was a skrull" pass would be too... easy.<BR/><BR/>Kick-Ass is the most appropiately named comic ever, it is litterally addictive, I gave two people the first hit free and now they can't get enough. Im Mark Millar's evil street comic peddler.<BR/><BR/>Haunt's of horror had crappy art, i was dissapointed by that. But considering that almost all Chutulu stuff disapoints...<BR/><BR/>DC stuff not written by Grant Morrison worth picking up I must investigate futher...Mike Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613018407883090887noreply@blogger.com
