I find this hard to believe since everyone I've ever spoke to about this thinks Hal Jordan sucks. I think Geoff Johns is his only fanboy.

Yeah, I'm only like 5 issues in, but I kind of hate the art in Invincible. At the end of issue 3 there's this horrific looking 3D poser rendition of the main character that made me laugh out loud.

I actually like Kirkman, but the writing isn't doing much for me either. It's just really lazy; I'm already sick of every issue having a gag where his mom goes "that's nice, dear" after he relates some incredible experience. Like, I loving get it.

Does it improve much?

The artist changes to Ryan Ottley in issue #8 and steadily improves, he's on of my favourite comic artists these days. I can't even remember the joke you are talking about so I guess that at least goes the way of the dodo.

The funniest part about this to me is how, despite honestly being very respectful to Islam, it breaks a HUGE RULE and actually shows Muhammad. That said, go TMNT for actually attempting to be progressive towards Muslims!

edit:


Yeah if the Eradicator couldn't get to him in time the writers would have to come up with a NEW bullshit arbitrary way to bring Superman back :(

Iirc the thing about not depicting Muhammed isn't in the Koran and is a hadith (I think that's the word) thing, so it's only offensive to certain factions? I may be confusing this with the rule against drawing people in general.

Whatever. Cyke's Racer X mask is rad as hell, and it makes him look cool., which is like the whole point of a costume. Take a look at Magneto right now. Now THAT is an awful costume.

It feels a little like cheating posting from Atomic Robo. I'm mostly picking this one cause I'm sure it is a Back to the Future reference.

Wasn't Doug the one with the lovely translator powers that wound up getting killed because his sucky powers had zero use in combat situations?

No, Doug was the one who was seconds away from an implied gangbang in the Hellfire Mansion when they went around to visit that one time, the one who got all the ladies all the time, and whose awesome and totally useful language powers literally saved the world at least once an issue. He may have ended up getting shot to death.

You know those times in movies when a big group of bad guys attacks the lone hero one at a time and you're like, "Why don't they attack all at once?" Turns out, that's known as the K-11 and that's how the plan is supposed to work.



Strange Tales #157

I think the idea is that too many enemy combatants just make it harder for them to navigate around each other, and they can just outlast him. If they'd attack 2 or 3 at a time and rotate around it'd work a lot better.
