It has got to be the most bizarre comic I've ever read.
Saga is fantastic. I love that the magic system is powered by secrets.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

I normally would't read something like Saga but I'm glad I did, it was pretty damn good imo.
Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

That poster looks awful. Leo looked better in the second link, Raph and Mike looked fine, Don...lose the headgear. I actually think Shredder looks fine: looks like the next step up from Super-Shredder. I'm okay with that. If they are still aliens though, Michael Bay can suck a fat one. That changes their entire origin and just makes them something else, and I don't like it.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Yeah, well... the poster is terrible. But the figures looked good.
And on the whole Alien thing: I've read the leaked skript a year ago and yes it was terrible and yes, they were Aliens, but afaik they got rid of that part.
Buuuut, you'll have to remember that the Ooze that created them actually is of Alien origin in the comics and two of the three cartoons.
I bought/read this years ago , not a bad little series all in all but had a fair few odd moments ... like the above. Totally forgotten about it until I saw this.

Justice League: War, the new Warner Bros. Animation feature that’s streeting this week (see "DVD Round-Up: 'Justice League: War,'..."). will be the beginning of a series of original video animations in a single continuity, according to an interview on Comic Book Resources. In it, War producer James Tucker described the new release, which draws on "New 52" story material, as "the first salvo in doing new movies that are in continuity with each other."
Justice League: War will be the first in a series of interconnected Justice League features that will be released concurrently with a series of Batman movies, all in the same continuity, according to Tucker. The features in the War continuity will be released at a pace of two per year, plus a third stand-alone feature separate from continuity each year. The first of the stand-alone features will be Batman: Assault on Arkham, set in the world of the Batman: Arkham video games.
The features in continuity will not all be "New 52;" the first Batman feature will be Son of Batman, based on a 2006 story by Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert and adapted to fit the framework.

I think this is the first time where I think that a big continuity is not the best way to go. So far the DC Animated movies allowed a lot of very different stories while touching upon some classic books. Under the Red Hood is still my favourite and while I didn't enjoy Year One or All-Star Superman that much, I think it's great we got to see those stories in animated form. Bringing a continuity into it while still holding on to Batman as the main character seems a bit... lazy. Also, I'm not a big fan of the New 52 in general. I was hoping for another movie with the classic Green Arrow instead of that new one.
Then again, I am looking forward to animated Damian.

From the way it was worded, it seemed like they're not saying "Every single animated movie from now on is one big continuity" but rather that "Justice League: War is the first animated movie in a series of animated movies set in one big continuity".
I might be wrong though but that's how it read to me. Also I kind of like the new Green Arrow.
So I've read Battle of the Atom and thought it was pretty good. A fun X-Men time travel story. And I'm glad All-New X-Men isn't over already. Looking forward to what comes next. Speaking of which....
I know we all discussed it a bit a couple weeks ago, but I just watched the Target exclusive Justice League: Trapped in Time movie. It wasn't very impressive, definitely aimed at kids, there's nothing in it for adults. Justice League: War should prove far more enjoyable. The story was good, just too kidified. The preview for Son of Batman looks awesome too!
Mods, can we possibly get a sub forum for comic related stuff? Honestly, you can get one grouping for DC, one for Marvel, one for the comics that don't fall under the big two, and one for movies. I feel like just 1 big threa to encompass all of this, plus random "X person was cast as _____" doesn't do justice.
First five minutes of JL:War prove its gonna be awesome. And it's designed for teens and adults. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.

It has Carnage in it - of course it ISN'T any good!
Why is it the "Superior" Carnage? Is it really just the normal Carnage Keltus Cassidy?
Thanks for the warning Alph. It's all a matter of context. I'm not that big of a fan of Carnage but I thought U.S.A. and it's sequel worked well. I hated Minimum Carnage but that was mostly because the story was really stupid. So my question remains, as Canuck asked as well. Is SpOck in it?

The Bat Titles have really dropped off in terms of overall quality.
In fact, almost the entire "New 52" has...
I respectfully disagree. I'm loving the New 52. Breathed fresh life into Superman, and Batman just feels like a continuation. Aquaman is also now a badass, the Guardians are dirtbags and GL and Sinestro are forced into a teamup to deal with treachery (I only read the TPBs, btw, I'm behind). I'm loving it far more than Marvel. Also, I'm surprised more people don't know about Batman's identity. He's always shown SPECIAL consideration towards Dent. Should have been obvious to Dent semi-early on.
