pyf Character Problems and how you would solve them Why does Wonder Woman need the bracelets if she's Supermab-tough? Because the bracelets can block/deflect anything, no exceptions, full stop. Bullets, lasers, lazors, lightning bolts, telepathic assault, magnetic fields—bracelets can take 'em. Also, Wonder Woman can deflect things wherever she wants with the bracelets, even if it's a practically impossible thing like sending a bullet back 180° the way it came, or redirecting a lightning bolt sideways.And that's how I'd solve the bracelets issue for Wonder Woman, thanks for reading and please contribute.

This is a good thing as it's led to some pure gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcPvhvOjTN8 More reason for the game to include Booster Gold and/or Johnny Cage DLC.

Telltale is doing a Batman game too, apparently. People were just talking about wanting a detective focused Batman game instead of a combat one. I guess that's one way to do it.

The Yellow room scene with Green Lantern justifies All Star Batman. That scene in all its stupidity is great, but yea, the whole run is pretty lovely.

That Yellow room panel is a loving incredible panel (one of the best of all time - the fact that Robin's ice cream was painted yellow never fails to make me laugh), and if he just said it once instead of all the loving time throughout the book (and the first time it was said wasn't in the context of an awful speech where he calls Robin "retarded"), "I'm the goddamn Batman" is a fist-pumping line of dialog.

I guess they actually announce it last year, but they released the cast and some screenshots today. It's due out soon, this summer sometime.

All-Star Batman and Robin is an incredible comic and one of the best Batman stories ever printed. If only Jim Lee could drawn more than one page a month. Have they ever released Miller's scripts for the last issues?

Yeah but that's new to the Azz run where she's half god. Squizzle's answer is actually pretty close to how it's worked for the majority of Wonder Woman comics, except a lot of the time she isn't Superman-tough and can actually be shot.

I know people love Chris Burnham, but I think he might be the artist I dislike the most who's not actively "bad". I just find his artstyle really repulsive, a weird sorta R Crumb knockoff where all of his faces look just weird and flat and wrong and his body proportions look just off, but unlike Crumb where it's intentional it just comes across as Chris drawing bodies oddly. If I'm being honest it's probably why I don't like Batman, Incorporated very much, because I find his style really kind of grotesque. I know that he's a good, popular artist, and I'm not claiming he isn't, I'm just wondering if anyone feels the same way, or more generally if anyone has a pet dislike of an artist that they know on an "objective" level is good and talented.

I like Burnham a lot. Especially on Nameless (where grotesque is the thing), but I think Ian Bertram is kind of a more interesting version.    He's got a real messed up Klasky Csupo cartoon meets Frank Quitely thing going on. House of Penance is just great. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Burnham comes across with all negatives of Frank Quietly and not too many of the positives.

It's also that my first exposure to Burnham was his E is for Extinction SW tie-in, which is in my opinion the single ugliest story I've ever read. Really, really, really hate the art in E is for Extinction.

Art is Ian Bertram on covers and Ramon Villalobos on interiors. All those guys must be bros. They're in the same sorta school of drawing. e: For the question, I'll say Jock. I like some wild styles, and I appreciate him doing his own thing, but I don't really dig it. Especially on Wytches with all the splatters.

If I had to describe Spawn so far I would say that it's spinning it's wheels. Lot of space is devoted to side characters I don't really care about. Probably would have been better as a novel than a comic.

Going to surprise everyone and say that I got to 78. That's mainly because I just stopped reading the huge pages of text. There's some good ideas in there like the hellspawn being good when they come back so they can kill bad people and feed hell souls but who the hell cares about the detectives, Spawn's best friend and his ex-wife. Plus the way he's constantly bitching and getting his rear end kicked makes me believe that Todd McFarlene hates his own character. At least the art and huge 90's guns were entertaining.

As someone who was reading that poo poo as it came out let me tell you loving everybody cared about the detectives. Sam and Twitch were like the breakout characters of 1997. The zeitgeist had passed by the time they actually got their own spinoff series.

I will always have a soft spot for Curse of the Spawn, but the main series I read very infrequently. I fully gave up on the series a few issues after No. 50 though, as it just seemed to be more directionless than usual.
