I thought Joe's inks added a distinctive character to Andy's sub Jim-Lee mid 90s schtick that usually ruins otherwise good composition (check out his work on the first Batman vs Predator).

I thought this was the best Before Watchmen yet.  Moore's shadow hangs over this project to the point no-one could ever look at it objectively so I'm just picking one and I'll say it's my favorite for some reasons I'll think of later, or possibly just make up as I go along.  Seems like less effort in the long run.

The bit where his mum is like "call an ambulance I guess" when his abusive alcoholic father is having a heart attack from beating his wife while she wears a sexy nightie is totally badass.  The new Nite Owl looks like he'll soon be really badass because the old one who is like Batman but not really is also really badass too.  I hope they fight zombies or something in the next issue.  That would be badass.

I *literally* can't tell when fellow forum users are being sarcastic half the time.

As I commented on all the others

Nite Owl

A bit "meh" to be honest. Suffers in comparison to the others by being ok but nothing special. I'll give it a chance but definintely hasn't grabbed my interest like the others have

That's the main reason I haven't commented...I was quite disappointed by this one.
If DC had led the project with this book I'd be far less enthusiastic about it in general.
And it may be sacrilegious to say so...but Joe Kubert's inks muddy up otherwise crisper artwork by Andy Kubert. I would have preferred Jesse Delperdang doing the tracing.

The most unlikeable participant in the entire shenanigans is of course the readers own pale gurning face after getting a small fan-boy shiver out of the words "Siege Courageous".

If you'd made that 'the reader's own pale gurning bearded face', I'd have sworn you were spying on me.

My sources told me you'd shaved today.

I....will...NOT...fold...
Must convince myself I have a handle on comics expenses....
Must save 80 cent...whenever...possible

It's actually impossible Greg. I don't think there's a likeable / identifiable character in the whole frickin storyline.

Yeah, theres a story called Goodnight Kiss in which Jonni Kiss teams up with the surviving Marshals. It'll probably be in case files 21/22.

And it ain't half bad as far as Ennis' run goes.

I LOVE Marvel!
Duuuuuuuuuddddeeee.

I f*ckin hate Marvel Comics.

Some would say that this thread doesn't deserve a bump- and some would be right.
I'd read the first 6 issues of the main book (0-5) and several of the ancilliary titles, and was underwhelmed to say the least. My interest waned to such a degree that all A Vs X related titles were relegated to my monthly delivery from Midtown Comics.

That delivery arrived today, including issue 6- and sweet Stan Lee, it's freakin great! A totally different beast to what came before, and a nice change of direction (Cyclops and 4 other members of the Extinction Team are given god like powers, and decide to right every wrong in the world. Not 100% original, but very entertaining).
And what value: 36 meaty pages (w/ great Olivier Coipel art), a free digital download of the issue and a free digital download of the 2nd 'Infinite' issue.
If anyone was at all tempted to try this, I'd recommend issue 6 (you didn't miss much prior to it).

I'm back on board, with the remaining 50% of my soul / cash to spend.

I'll second the recommendations for Dark Empire 1, but for me the most inner-fan pleasing Star Wars comic has to be 'Twin Engines of Destruction' (Boba Fett vs Jodo Kast....to the death).

Anyone looking to pick this up cheaply, it's going for a paltry €2.49 (£2.15) on iBooks.
(As are the previous two chapters).

Anyone get the 100% B. Graham issue 26 yet?
If its as good as some of those reviews are saying it is I think i'm gonna have to abandon my 'month after print' purchase rule.

I think I have the horror spesh if anyone wants it

Hey Skullmo, is it in good nick? How much you want for it?
PM me if you wish.
