Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities BRIGHTEST DAY

The one that was done before and The one going through JL:GL are the only two that really give me any interest...so I guess dropping is a good thing.

Done before? Which one do you mean?

Zoom.

Ah.

I thought it said to "Stop" said character, not kill.

The image showed Lord forcing Magog to blow his head off with his face, and a good chunk of his face was missing.

True. But it also showed

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Hawk holding a dead Dove, a boommerang in her chest. And it told Hawk to catch the boomerang, presumably saving Dove.</span></span>

I wouldn't assume the images were the Lantern's request, merely possible outcomes.

It did say to stop him.. if these are glimpses of possible futures, perhaps Max just decides to permanently stop him.

Gotta say, I would love Max for that.

Hmm, good point.

So Max seeks to stop Magog. He puts together the old JLI, with Captain Atom on the team. He pits them against Magog, with Magog and Atom duking it out.

Holy Kingdom Come!!!!

Thanks to Arachne for pointing this out...it sums up the problem I have better than I could...By Kirkman himself...

This is another reason why I want to start writing comics now. My stuff might not be fully kids oriented, but they aren't "for mature audiences only". Teen-rated stuff.

There's a difference between realism and violence. Comic writers are always trying to portray the world "the way it is". Why can't they portray it as they wish it would be?

And once again, Kirkman manages to make some good points while being both self-serving and not a little hypocritical.

He's good at that.

I read Titans #26 today.

I don't know how much more I can take.

I bought BoP #4. Still hate Black Canary, but Dawn kicks ass.

So BN #8 hits. No murders, no over the top violence. No one talks about it.

That implies a lack of value to the series if all people talk about is Ze Attempts To Shock.

You're right.

At least Miss Martian demonstrated she's capable. But when have we ever seen Hawkgirl's mother?

It likely says more about the audience, actually.

Well just because someone doesn't talk about it on here...

"Comic writers are always trying to portray the world "the way it is". Why can't they portray it as they wish it would be?"


Because they're CYNICAL B******s with NO imagination who want everyone else to be as MISERABLE as they are?

...okay...

True enough, but if shock is what gets people talking about comics at cons and on message boards and what have you, then shock is what we will continue to get.

True.

Don't know what's happening to comment as I stopped buying it.
