Are you kidding me! What was this crap I just read? I think it was the Legion of Super-Heroes but it neither looked like acted like it. I tell you Giffen (horrible artist) wants nothing other than to kill the Legion! Not only did we have his horrible art where everyone looks like they have skin disease but we have to have the death of a character! In a horrible way? If they wanted to create some talk about the Legion how about having some good stories! He even gave Cham a uniform that looks like it was from the 5year gap BS back in the 90's. And how many issues do we need of setting up for a big fight? We've been waiting for the Fatal Five for how long? I am soo mad right now!

Remember folks, a double post usually will fix itself without needing removal!
I couldn't find Longbow Hunters in the App. Can you tell me anything about these:
Archer's Quest
Crawling from the Wreckage
Sounds of Violence
Seeing Red
I think sounds of violence is with that weird villian who only speaks in noises? I thought he was funny in that one Batman story Kevin Smith didn't feth up quite so badly as his other one. Seing Red sounds interesting.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Apparently Giffen really hates that character in question, because that's twice that he's killed him. *shrug*
Edit: At least this one was fast, if gruesome. The last time it was slow and gruesome.

Oh yeah. Not sure how he got thrown in the "doomed to die in every incarnation" pile. He was a highly drama-free character for the first 30 years of his existence. And was my fave Legionnaire as a kid. :(
Although note that I am a fan of Giffen's "5-year gap" run.

I actually quit the Legion with the 5YG. I later got it as a completest but I thought it was awful. Killing left and right, changing names, adding in bad characters, etc.

While I liked it because it was Legion, I felt they went a little to young and cartoony with it. It went only two seasons and you can only find the first on DVD. If they had made it serious like Young Justice I think it would have done better.
TBH, I think the Legion kinda defines young, naive, cartoony superheroism. Which is why I enjoyed Giffen's 5-year gap run as a gritty deconstruction of the whole thing. Although I understand why some longtime LSH fans would hate it.

Ditto.

The only hope for peace is to teach people who are full of pep and unbound force to enjoy being bound ... Only when the control of self by others is more pleasant than the unbound assertion of self in human relationships can we hope for a stable, peaceful human society ... Giving to others, being controlled by them, submitting to other people cannot possibly be enjoyable without a strong erotic element.

I thought I'd give Superior Spider Man a try.
To be honest, I'm quite enjoying it.
The way things are going, I can see Peter Parker regaining control.
I've been reading Ultimate Spiderman as well.
Miles Morales is interesting.
I like the way things seem to be going.

As I've said before, it's astonishing how much of a "special interest" character WW is, and how it goes unnoticed by so many people. I think maybe it's so blatent that people just miss it...corset, rope that makes men comply, loss of power when bound, bracelets/shackles, "Amazon" origin, etc. And somehow she's a role model for girls. Yikes.
I somehow missed that Morrison had an upcoming WW project. Wow. Dunno where that will end up.
I'm one of the Morrison fanboys here (along with reds8n), but even I feel like he missed the mark in Action Comics. My feelings about his Action Comics run are a lot like my feelings about some of Radiohead's recent work -- very interesting stuff, but I'm not sure if I actually *like* it. The non-linear narrative in that book was really an interesting approach, and it kinda helped build a lot of depth for the New 52 Superman in a fairly condensed timeframe (although looking at the run in retrospect, it feels rushed). But I'm not sure that it ultimately was a particularly interesting story, or that it was the New 52 Superman: Year One that readers wanted to see, or the one that suggested in issue #1.
