I don't normally like the NU52 costume design myself. Outside of Philip Tan(who created the new look) no one else's managed to pull it off. Yet as an action figure, it strangely works.

The Hawkman action figures are the best - I have the Golden Age and Silver Age versions of Katar and Shay. Their costumes make great figures an I cant wait for the Nu52 version.<br /><br />My friend Stephanie fancies Hawkman because he has a hairy chest and looks so macho. I have to remind her hes a fictional comic character. She's mad, btw.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-62847016824034805762013-06-13T13:21:52.972-04:002013-06-13T13:21:52.972-04:00Yep, just like the Preboot continuity; POOF and go...Yep, just like the Preboot continuity; POOF and gone:(Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-26622649274201321342013-06-13T11:55:16.830-04:002013-06-13T11:55:16.830-04:00It's really amazing.

And they managed to frak that up but good too. <br />Don't get me started on Titans. I actually thought that book was doing well after they morphed the Young Justice team into it. They had a new trifecta in charge, with real friendship and the bonds of growing up into something better together. And then they just wiped it out.Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-24370554482895286622013-06-13T11:35:14.111-04:002013-06-13T11:35:14.111-04:00@Tiger: Exactly.

They then underestimated just how much outrage was shown from older fans, but failed to address or correct certain mistakes or mis-ideas to help keep said older fans at least interested long enough to stick past the first story arc. Either way DC has a long way to go in my book before they ever reach where they were quality-wise years ago.<br /><br />@Dan: Right? Oh they kept the Society around, they're just shunted off to another world, which is fine in the sense that that's how it was back in the silver age, but to regress like this, just ugh.<br /><br />And I miss wally too. He was my Flash growing up, like how for some, Kyle Rayner is another generations' GL. The Titans are just god-awful, but they seems to be the trend with DC; the Titans(outside of their golden years and Wolfman's run) rarely got the love and respect they deserve comic-wise. The cartoons are fine though.<br /><br />@Random: yes, yes they did. Incredibly lazy as writers like Scott Lobdell and Adam Glass have shown us.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-27633396514132090912013-06-13T08:43:16.102-04:002013-06-13T08:43:16.102-04:00Again, it's the whole idea of actually allowin...Again, it's the whole idea of actually allowing creative writers freedom on a book, but within the confines of history. Which can be done, I think they just got lazy.<br />Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-27289900828691246682013-06-13T00:32:59.310-04:002013-06-13T00:32:59.310-04:00They should have learned with the core mistake Mar...They should have learned with the core mistake Marvel made with the Ultimate universe and that is your easy to jump on universe is only unentangled with history until it gets to issue six, otherwise it's like like how you left it.<br /><br />The other thing that fully hurt DC was that some characters were completely overhauled and others not, and yet that meant the existing continuity had to have happened just like the new one did. How can Nightwing be Nightwing without the Teen Titans? Donna Troy? Wally? The JSA? The latter was once DC's hit book, now it doesn't even exist because marketing wanted the League to be first. Take away the hereditary notion of mantles being passed on and you chop at what defines DC. The Society inspired the League.<br /><br />The whole notion of 'needs a revamp' is twisted logic. What's next - revamped Bible stories where Jesus and The Disciples are a 12 piece opening act for Taylor Swift? Just tweak as you tell the story if you have to, don't start from fricken scratch again just because you want Lois to submit her first Superman story via an iPad rather than a typewriter. Who the ^%%$ cares!?<br /><br />God Marvel must love reading new DC comics on Wednesdays.

I believe in making new friends and keeping the old ones as well.

I get why, but the execution...eh.<br /><br />A major issue that hasn't been addressed really is the whole time thing. How can Batman have been Batman for 5 years, and fit in three, maybe four robins in that amount of time?

Start with a major book or two and add more if it warrants it. But no. They preferred to do a comic book industry equivalent of Superman's kiss in Superman 2. And man, that plot device sucked the first time.<br />Randomnerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11216600316804854172noreply@blogger.com
