Topic: The Comic Book Thread

Alright, I'll begin. At spring-con in Minneapolis, i found a Superman story called For Tomorrow. It was scribed by Brian Azzarello, with art by Jim Lee. After reading it, I can honestly say that the Narrative, while good, was lacking at points. It felt a little inconsistent and cluttered. But the art.....My god, Lee can draw. Coming hot off the heels of Batman: Hush, his work is near flawless. Everything has this quality sheen to it, and it makes the run exponentially better. In fact, the art itself makes the whole story worth a read. Anybody read it?

Also, the stories don't have to be Marvel or DC. Everything works, except for the reeeeeally obscure independent stuff (But suggestions are always welcome)

The latest Superman comic I have is from 1993, so obviously I haven't read it. I saw the art, though - freakin' amazing stuff, man, you're right.

Now I heard about this a few weeks ago that DC was going to have one of their characters come out of the closet. Well not sure if it has been said here already but I just found out that Green Lantern will be the one coming out of the closet it next month. To me honestly it doesn't make a difference but whatever. What do you all think of this decision by DC?

@Tasuki, I don't really mind at all. Since the main reason that they made him gay was to make up for the fact that his gay son was gone, I guess that makes sense.

@Tasuki, I honestly don't care. Being that it's Alan Scott, they didn't screw over any previous relationships, so I'm game.

This is going to be odd but I always thought Green Lantern was gay from these old issues we used to read at school... I was right all this time... lol.

I'm cool with it. Kind of wish it wasn't spoiler and he media didn't blow it out of proportion.

So what foes everyone think of Injustice?

I herd good things about MK7 and I am looking forward to it. I really liked how smooth the game went from cut-scene to game play, I hope they. I hope the story mode is like this.

Yep the cutscenes were a good way to get story into a fighter and MK9 was awesome. Also mortal kombat vs DC universe was t made by Netherlands relams and its been confined this is a 2D tighter like MK9.

My bad I meant MK9, I was thinking of Mario Kart atm lol. Anyways I was surprised by that as it's the first time I have ever really seen it done. Or in fighting game period (to my knowledge). I mean there was no loading screens or anything, smooth transitions. Though I am hoping I can play as Darkseid or Apocalypse, but it seems to focus only the heroes atm.

Well they said its going to have the same amount of fighters as MK9 at start so that should be around 28 people.

So far we have

Superman
Batman
wonderwoman
Flash
Solomon Grundy
Harley Quinn
Led Luthor (fighting superman in the trailer)
Captian Cold fighting flash in the trailer

Hoping they go for some obusre charctrs and try to stay away from filling the rostor with batman and superman rouges. I'm thinking Nightwing and joker might get in but that's it.

It would be a huge stretch to even consider Miss Martian right? Alternate costumes to get Tim Drake Robin. Hawkman...

Booster Gold...

You mean Damien wayne right.

Hawkman is based around violence so he should be in.

Black Manta... Zatanna.. Dr. Fate... cough Powergirl.

I played a bit of the MK reboot and I thought it was pretty good. I did also like MK VS DCU and quite frankly I thought it was the best game in the series since Mortal Kombat 3. If Injustice follows along the same path than I will at least give a try from GameFly but more than likely if I have the money to spare when it comes out than I will pick it up.

The only thing I am wondering is what reason are they going to give that Superman can be on the same level as say Batman? I know that in MK VS DCU they said that Superman was a bit weaker due to the realms merging but I dont see them doing that here or again.

Didn't you see Batman's hand? He had Kryptonite... also your severely underestimating the powers, strength and abilities of our other heroes. They can handle Superman.

Nope I haven't seen the trailer yet when I tried on the news page it said that the user removed the video and I haven't had the chance to look it up elseware.

I saw the Kryptonite on a teaser poster. Superman is also vulnerable to magic. psionic powers and extreme psychical force. Such as from Doomsday and Darkseid.

Yep in the poster Bruce has kryponite knuckles.

Also they can just say this is a superman at a certain time in his life since most writers tend to go with him getting stronger with age.

Probably wont happen but I would love to see
