Best Comics of the Decade (So Far)

favorite reason to hate brian micheal bendis- LC wrecks the Wrecker with a mail box/ anything he's written about the sentry

favorite new character- Static the fact that he's back is all it took for me, his cartoon was kinda lame but the book as always pretty kick ass and FINALLY a black dude on the titans whos sic that isnt Cyborg (no offense but i think its ridiculous he's been so heavily entwined in that book for this long)/ Damian aka Robin, finally a new Robin that doesn't need to be saved in a toe to toe fight w/ a solid martial artist and the kid's not dumb. impetuous, murderous even but he ain't dumb. and i still think he make a much better pairing w/ bruce then dick but its still all good.

i like Tim in fact he's pretty much my fav Robin but I mean how many times has he been owned over the last 2-3 years? when Jason Todd knocks you the fuck out in your own home, wearing a homo-version of ur costume you need to go holler at shiva like "hey..i was spaced out on a few lessons.i need some summer schooling." Also this whole red robin thing is gonna lead to tim becoming asshole future titans batman, think about it.

best run- Geoff Johns' JSA/Green Lantern both have been gold for a looooong time now actually i might have to tip the scale to GL cuz JSA has been the shit since it was relaunched way back when flat out

best mini-series-All Star Superman

best event- Infinite Crisis i gotta admit i mean dude u got Superman vs Superman, SBP showing exactly how ridiculously powerful silver age dudes were but in a way thats makes you go GOTDAYUMN, and Joker in the end? full of win

I always consider anything not under the main Marvel or DC publishing insignia to independent.

I'm reticent to give Jeph Loeb worst writer of the decade, because he started the decade off great with Dark Victory, Superman/Batman, and Hush. He just ended it with shit like For Tomorrow, Ultimates, and Hulk.

For Tomorrow as in Superman: For Tomorrow? Because that wasn't Jeph Loeb that was Brian Azzarello.

Not trying to start some big ol' argument or nothin, but how do you figure Red Robin turnin Tim into an ass hole? I thought he's been pretty cool in the role. And for the record, Jason Todd isn't a pushover. He's gone through an almost exact replication of the training Bruce recieved, so it's not like getting beaten by him is a total embarassment. e's got a ton more experience than Tim does, and can go toe to toe with Dick Grayson who is now Batman. In BFTC, Damien was a little bitch when confronted by Killer Croc and Poison Ivy too, and Nightwing had to bail him out. His decisions lately have also been impulsive and not always very well thought out. So he may not be dumb, but he's got a lot to learn.

I didn't what to put Trinity under.

But it should be somewhere.

He may mean the Matt Wagner story. If so, I can see that on someone's best list. But if he does mean the weekly maxi, it's so mediocre I couldn't see it on a best or worst list. Its existence had no affect whatsoever on me or anything else.

The Wagner one could be on someone's best list but so could the maxi imo, it's a nit drawn out but I still like the story.

The Maxi-Series.
Pretty much is because it's just mediocre to me. I've never been able to really read a lot because it comes out weekly. It's too much for me to keep up with since I've been low on cash. I've read about 15 issues, and it just doesn't seem like it really needs to be there... And I really dislike Bagley drawing Batman for some reason. He doesn't fit the tone that resonates in my mind on Batman.

The only thing bad about Savage She-Hulk is that in the future they think that Norman Osborn is the world's greatest hero.

And the fact that it has little to nothing to do with She-Hulk. "The madder she gets, the weaker she gets" is a retarded uncreative ability. It reads like it was written 15 years ago. Traveling several years to the past to procreate with Norman Osborn is dumb shit. There's no real story, it's just flashbacks ("flash-forwards?") and fight scenes. And it's another Dark Reign book that will have no affect on the Dark Reign story, and probably none on the Hulk family.

The art's decent, though.

I actually really like the art. She hulk looks damn hot.

I just wish the story was good.

Torrents man, torrents.

I never paid for a single issue until last month when my LCS had the fist 12 issues together for $7.


And I love Bagley's art in it. Batman especially.

Except in one of the first few issues where they're fighting konvikt, it's on like the first page, konvikts face looks like when 1st graders try to draw "dragon ball z eyes."

AGREED!

Konvict looked fucked UP!

I would get them off torrents, but I'm not really aware of where to get them.

Barely started? It hasn't started at all! All we've seen so far is a "prelude" and an issue #0 on FCBD. There's really nothing to base that on but speculation.
