I was right that its all about the art, but I think the one page per week format is forcing the writers to use their heads. <br /><br />I do, officially, really like this format. This, Blackest Night and a "holy frijoles!" ending to New Krypton made this a pretty darn good week at the LCS.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-28840520051004110902009-07-08T22:39:51.592-05:002009-07-08T22:39:51.592-05:00Well I dragged myself to the LCS today for the fir...Well I dragged myself to the LCS today for the first time in a long time to pick up a book on Wednesday. I had to check out Wednesday Comics #1 and I wasn't disappointed.<br /><br />The Gibbons/Sook Kamandi was great.<br />Metamorpho by Gaiman/Allred was perfect.<br />Strange Adventures by Paul Pope was the reason I pre-ordered this thing anyway and it didn't let me down. I mean blue monkeys!<br />Supergirl with Streaky and Krypto!<br />The Metal Men was cool. Can't believe I liked some Dan Didio did.<br />Wonder Woman was trippy.<br />Loved the two strip setup of Flash and Iris West by Kerschl/Fletcher.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-19962355937605771852009-07-08T14:34:10.286-05:002009-07-08T14:34:10.286-05:00Well, I think Absolute Editions have a two-fold pa...Well, I think Absolute Editions have a two-fold path.<br /><br />1) Long-standing classics (Watchmen, DKR, etc...)<br />2) Fan-favorite artists whose work will be great to see in the larger sized editions <br /><br />Nobody thinks "Hush" is a literary masterpiece or that it broke new ground, but it and Azzarello's swing-and-a-miss on Superman with "For Tomorrow" featured Jim Lee on pencils, and so both are getting the Absolute treatment.<br /><br />I wasn't that wowed by Justice as a story (I thought the action spilling out of villains plot was great, but the actual plot... but the plot itself wasn't my favorite), but I'm decidedly in the Ross camp, so this sort of thing appeals to me. <br /><br />Other items haven't received the treatment that are considered classics, but are getting DC Library or other editions when they run the numbers to see if an Absolute Edition is worth it or not.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-31907423889882225802009-07-08T11:12:53.825-05:002009-07-08T11:12:53.825-05:00If that's the League's costume, he'll ...If that's the League's costume, he'll definitely need Elvira to introduce the new Monster Movie for Austin.<br /><br />Is Justice even any good to warrant an Absolute Edition version from DC? I thought that was reserved for acknowledged classics published.NTThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901133429286964552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-26432034864806959682009-07-08T10:55:39.084-05:002009-07-08T10:55:39.084-05:00I think that at some point we should look into the...I think that at some point we should look into the possibility of renting a boat on Lake Travis for a more personal cruise with The League.
