Nobody who is jaded and exhibits signs of Grumpy Old Man, get off my lawn syndrome should be considered the best taste in comics.

Definitely gonna need a link for that.
Aye to that. As much as I enjoy reading him, sometimes he'll love a thing Marvel does and then he'll hate on a DC book for doing the exact same thing in the exact same way, seemingly at random.
And anyways who needs him when it's obvious I've got the best taste of anyone in this thread. Yeah I said it.

That'd be like 90% of his articles. I actually really appreciate his wealth of knowledge and research skills but his opinions are often way to negative. Filtering those out of his articles still leaves many of them quite informative.
You have the best Twitter feed that makes me smile and yet I have no idea what is even happening.
If you haven't read X-Statix yet, most definitely read that. It's the definition of a fun-loving X-Men run. And it's just a super amazing run in general. AND the 1200 page omnibus can be had for $40 shipped (eBay is the place to buy it).
It's really an all-around no-brainer if you haven't read it yet.
Lol. Yeah, I'd say you're okay to hold off on the Liefeld stuff.
You really ought to get around to reading X-Statix! And probably Uncanny X-Force. I myself still need to get around to reading Uncanny X-Force...

Pick a topic. I'll fight you on it.
We both read bad comics so it would be hard to fight.

Rat Queens is a mediocre series with good art, bad dialogue and an over fondness for its own memes.
Saga is the Seinfeld of comics.

Zatanna is a boring, bad character with a boring, dumb powerset.
Gonna bite on any of those?

I suppose I shouldn't voice my thoughts on Anna Marie or Kitty Pryde, huh?
You leave Anna Maria out of this.

I remember him hating on Frozen because the metaphors were too obvious...then trying to explain why he loves Darkseid(get it because he's the Dark Side of humanity)
That was bad

She was into Doc 'Oc. Just saying.
He was a different person with her though. He didn't want to be evil.

The first two or so issues of Zero Year were garbage and that's why I had no problem dropping it.
Yeah this is actually true. The first few Zero Year issues were not good.
The Walking Dead is better than most of the books Image has to offer.

Just read the first two chapters of a Birds of Prey volume I picked up from the library. More fan-service than a harem manga. And the faces are very weird. (Art seems to be by Paulo Siqueira).
LMAO..

Most Image books have stellar #1s but few of them maintain any level of quality. Most go off the rails, hard and fast, reinforcing the fact that while too much editorial is a bad thing, too little can be just as problematic.
Deadly Class has been six issues about a terrible person who doesn't even live up to his hype having an acid trip and getting the shit beat out of him. School for Assassins? Shit, that was everyday at my high school.
New 52 detractors seem to think, through their rose tinted glasses, that most pre New 52 stories were good and that most post 52 are bad when, in fact, that quality is roughly the same if not slightly better overall. They let their disgruntled fanboyism and attachment to something tenuous at best (the concept of a concrete continuity) blind them.

Nope. Generally considered pretty good.
Gran Morrisions Batman Run was just plain awful.

Other way around. Deadly Class for example is godlike.
TWD is generic mainstream shit.

There are maybe half a dozen legitimately good books DC is publishing right now. Surprisingly, Superman stars in more than one of them, which I can't remember the last time that's happen.
Superman Wonder Woman and ?

and this DOOMED thing is weighing Action Comics down something fierce, so maybe even then...

Oh and Sinestro but it's only a few issues in so I won't make that firm claim yet.
The only good comics are French comics. Pardon me while I grow my beards and make posts on tumblr.
I like you

Hnngh. Yeah this is what I wanna hear. Also, nothing from Image can ever be considered mainstream.
Love it! Especially when Jae Lee is on art. He is different without being shit.
?!
What the hell is a Larfleeze and why does it have it's own book. This better be one BAMF.
I have a collection. I grow them.

the reality of it is that batman is evil himself. he doesn't stop criminals because he gets off on the chase. i imagine after chasing the joker for months of end, finally capturing him and getting put away into an unproven prison gives him a enraged erection, which he masturbates and spunks into his bat-flannel or robin's mouth.
how many people have died becasue batman doesn't stop the criminals once and for all? does batman care that joker breaks out of prison every weekend? no. because batman is a chronic masturbator.
