    Great episode again lads, except for the Rorschach love, I’m totally with Skyler on that one!

    Its funny, I wrote my latest Random Fandom column about 10 days or so ago but it chimes a lot with what you guys are saying in this issue of ACBL about the editorial and corporate mandates imposed on stories now.

    And what you guys said about about the Phoenix Force 5 and the “benevolent god-like superheroes go evil” plot, well Alan Moore already did that in Marvelman nearly 30 years ago. And Chris Claremont and Paul Ryan did it about 25 years ago in the X-Men/Alpha Flight: Asgardian Wars story.

    Great review, and Thank God you guys said it, because I thought that I was alone. Friends and people I know from my LCS praise this piece of crap like It is the event of the year our something. Since issue 3 I have stopped picking it up. If marvel now wasn’t coming soon I was about to stop picking up Marvel all together.
    Topic Suggestion: The suggestion is what if you had a title, any title from any publisher, and you got to tell the story for yourselves what would it be? Me i’ve always wanted to see a story with batman and him being broke, like working at mikey D’s kind of broke. Could bruce be batman without his infinite resources? Also I want to see some team ups with jason todd and any batgirls, it’s just some thing that never comes up that should.

    Neat! I already went on a rant about what I didn’t like about #0 and #1 and then dropped the title. I’ll admit that got issue 6 +7 just cuz I like Coipel’s art. It’s almost funny how random incidents seem to just occur. There’s no doubt in my mind that the “artchitects” weren’t enthusiastic about this project and they were forced into it my accounting/management. So there’s contradictory scenes that exist cuz they have to fill up pages. Anyway, I love the show.
