On the Spider-man frontier, I like both directions for 616 and Ultimate.

616 pretty much robbed Peter for his Spider-sense. Causing him to lose in hand to hand fights against people like--well, Jessica Drew (Spider-woman), but instead of having him get needlessly ass-pounded, Shang-Chi has been training him to fight. I shouldn't have to say how awesome that is to any Marvel fan seeing as how Shang-Chi is about top game when it comes to hand to hand combat.

Ultimate is running the "Death of Spider-man" arc. And while people are complaining about what happened (I won't spoil it unless asked.) It shows what makes Spider-man worth the title of "Hero." Rather than "hey! He has super-powers" or "Look at him punch that guy." It shows how far he's really willing to go for the sake of the people he cares about, which is done a lot in the 616 but Ultimate, it's a "What does Peter do AFTER someone's been hurt?"

I'm impressed on the righting in Ultimate more though.

I'm not happy that he lost his Spider-Sense, but having Shang-Chi train him is pretty awesome. Even when he gets his Spider-Sense back, there's no reason for him not to train with him. Slott has good issues and bad issues. He can't write the FF for the life of him, but he's not bad at writing Spidey.

Ultimate Spidey has been excellent, and I have been enjoying it thus far. I'm curious how the Death of Spider-Man arc will be resolved.

Can anyone tell me what is the point depowering superheroes? Why do comicbook writers depower superheroes depsite having superpowers from different sources?

Depends on the story. Some stories do it well. Others, like JLA: Act of God, do it so poorly that it's unreadable.

Superman.

That's all that needs to be said.

Pre-Crisis Superman anyway!

Me too. I was looking forward to a Robinson Hawkman. Daniels though? If his Batman writing is any showing of his skills, the man should stick to art. I'm curious what Manipul does with The Flash though.

Yeah I saw that. A lot have me pretty excited. However, Tony Daniels WRITING Hawkman just makes me sad.

I dunno if it will be a new Zelda game, but we will definitely get SOMETHING.

After all, Zelda's 25th birthday was some time ago and Nintendo didn't do anythingback then. I assume they'll celebrate it now in some way.

I'm still hoping for that Zelda 3DS Ocarina of Time package for a cool looking 3DS and just to prove I was right.

I love. LOVE music from the 1930-50's as well as the lifestyles and mindset of those times (Outisde of racism and bigottiness.)

Film Noir is my favorite film genre. Tis why I love LA Noire so much.

I think another danger of information overload is that people are just becoming way too distracted and oblivious nowadays. I see it especially when people are walking and driving, the latter of which scares me.

Well Blackest Night/Brightest Day wasn't a revamp, just a big event.

Posted on: June 01, 2011, 01:02:24...okay, I'm kinda happy now!

* A new title starring Superman written by Grant Morrison.
* Birds of Prey #1 - This new ongoing series will not feature the work of longtime "BoP" writer Gail Simone. In fact, many tried and true approaches to books will be getting a second look at DC in September.

* Teen Titans #1 - The new start for the teen team will be written by "Red Robin" scribe Fabian Nicieza.

* Justice Society of America #1 - Only one of a number of current titles that will welcome a creative team shift, the future of the original superhero team will apparently not involve current writer Marc Guggenheim.

* Wonder Woman #1 - Don't expect the recent changes from writer J. Michael Straczynski to stick when the Amazing Amazon sees another new #1 hit.

* Green Lantern #1 - Even with a new #1, Green Lantern remains in Johns' hands, and readers can expect the effects of major crossovers like "Blackest Night" to stay in place moving forward.

* Hawkman #1 - While fans have known a "Hawkman" series by James Robinson has been in the works since the writer mentioned it on a panel at New York Comic Con, Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston has been reporting the rumor that the book will be drawn by "Batman & Robin" and "Outsiders" artist Philip Tan.

* Aquaman #1 - No surprises here. The already announced series featuring the sea king by Johns and Ivan Reis will be part of the relaunch wave.

Morrison doing Superman = PB EXTREMELY HAPPY

I had a feeling this was coming after Flashpoint. I just hope it doesn't screw too much with everything. If I were a guessing man, I'd say this is Johns' further attempt to make a more cohesive, canon DCU. He's already revamped GL, Supes, & now the Flash, so he's probably gonna use this to fix everyone in one fell swoop. I doubt he'll touch those three or what's currently happening in Batman, but everything & everyone else is up for grabs.

Basically, the digitisation of our culture as a whole directly affected our entertainment. Zoom out of gaming for a bit, and look at people's general lifestyles.
Nerdrant comin' up~
Laptops, netbooks, smartphones, GPS in cars, facebook as the medium of choice for contact, humans have begun to live a life completely immersed/dependent on technology. Information used to be something we had to go out of the way to obtain, such as through books and newspapers, but now we're drowning in it. This oversaturation of information and being conditioned with daily networking is part of our daily lives.

Sadly, it's not exactly a good thing that this is happening either.

Price always comes up for new releases of hardware. I seem to recall having this very same discussion about the PS3 back in the day, and that didn't exactly have the best of starts because of it's price. Definitely getting the same impression here.

I think price is coming up with this specifically due to Sony's past history with the PS3, and the fact that not only are they trying to compete somewhat with the 3DS, but are literally gonna have to try and make a profit on this thing due to the PSN [tornado fang] up.

As PB is taking a shower and singing Washing In The Name Of, a rendition of Killing in the Name Of which he sings while washing up, he is unaware that the strange energy core has entered the room. It hovers towards PB then suddenly engulfs PB in an energy cocoon of unknown power. The water from the shower is now exiting the bathroom as the energy cocoon starts glowing with even more power.
