Oh, ...Most of DC's reboots tend to go like: <br />Oh, hai its been x amount of years, let's has a reboot !!!! <br />It probably doesn't go like that but that's how it feels like. <br />It makes caring about DC comics very difficult and make following things even harder, because it's difficult to keep track of things. <br /><br />I mostly read Batman from DC but that's about it. <br /><br />The original crisis dealt perfectly with golden age Superman, retire him to paradise. Nothing more was necessary. <br />And if he had to die and it seems he must die, have him die in a spectacular display of heroism. In a blaze of glory, to let it be understood in no uncertain terms that THIS was the original Superman and that this was his finest hour. <br />But No, let's beat him to death and then, because that wasn't enough. let's disinter his corpse and bring him back as a zombie in Darkest Night. <br /><br />....I need a table flip emoticon.<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSpcXtFe1Jo <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Not3v09zmc<br /><br /><br />....okay I feel better now. <br />Thanks Beppo ! <br /><br />Okay, ahem anyway ! <br />I got more reviews up on Focused Totality. ( 3 today, with more coming during the weekend. )<br />And I'm starting to catch up on my hiatus. <br />The thing I tend to find the most difficult to write, is not the review, I seem always having something to say. <br />But the summary. <br />I have to convey the story in a concise manner, with out giving it short shrift. <br />Sometimes I succeed. ( I hate fairyland 1 and 2, Savage Dragon 2, Infiltration 3. ) Sometimes I fail. ( Gold Digger 3, Savage Dragon 1. ) <br />It's hard to find that balance, especially since I always skip summaries myself. <br />Snowkatthttp://focusedtotalitycomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-42190745529252063362015-12-22T17:56:48.807-08:002015-12-22T17:56:48.807-08:00"Camel toe" doesn't half do justice ..."Camel toe" doesn't half do justice to what I am seeing.

Like, come up with a concrete five- or ten-year plan with a beginning and an end, and then carry that plan through. But their reboots usually just seem very haphazard and unnecessary, so I don't like it.<br /><br />But then, like you, I'm not much of a DC guy. I like some of their Bronze Age material plus a little stuff from beyond that era, but that's mostly it.<br /><br />I am familiar with Superboy-Prime killing the original Superman, and I agree it's a disgrace. People seem to respect Johns as a writer, as I noted above, but he definitely has his detractors too, and he has a weird interest in really gruesomely killing off characters.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-62566640031553325432015-12-16T11:02:02.468-08:002015-12-16T11:02:02.468-08:00Yes, I think the color makes it look semi-transpar...Yes, I think the color makes it look semi-transparent due to it being pearly-white, but I'm pretty sure it's just her normal outfit.<br /><br />That's one of my favorite Adam Hughes pictures, incidentally.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-73404152242468030182015-12-16T02:18:06.676-08:002015-12-16T02:18:06.676-08:00nah
