GENERAL COMIC BOOK THREAD (MANGA NOT ALLOWED)

[Protoman Blues]

So, I'm slowly moving through both Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. I forgot how easy it is to just read and read these books. Especially when they tie into each, you don't wanna put them down.

It's why cleaning up & organizing comics can take [tornado fang]ing forever. Cause you just start reading and reading them, and it's 5 hours later and you haven't done [parasitic bomb].

I just hope DC does what's right and does for DeMatteis what they've done for Dini. Basically granting them their fanboy wishes and let them write what they want about the characters they want. I want Ted back, and I'd love it if the Booster Gold book was turned into something like "Blue and Gold", or something similar. They could have awesome time adventures with classic humor.

It'd be nice, yeah.

Also, on a PB IS SUPER HAPPY NOTE...

Experience The Music of DC Comic: 75th Anniversary Collection

This is soooooooooo [tornado fang]ing awesome. I love soundtracks & compilations like this, containing all the old, classic, awesome themes. This will be bought immediately!

The First Flight theme alone makes it worth the buy.

and oh my god i had no idea this existed

[Protoman Blues]

Oh yeah. They have all the themes of the classic 60's TV shows. I think the most important one though is that of the Fleischer Superman cartoon.

The Fleisher Superman cartoon is so amazingly awesome. And it holds up really well. I remember watching the shorts at night, as a kid.

[Protoman Blues]

To be honest, it's better animated than the 60's cartoons. But yeah, they are amazing. My Dad & I watched them all the time, and I bought them as soon as they came out on DVD.

[Bueno Excelente]

Fleisher knew how to do stuff. This and Popeye are among the gems I remember from the old days.

[Protoman Blues]

I still remember the Sinbad the Sailor song.

[David5109]

I used to get Sonic X comics from my best friend's old dad.  They were much better than the show imo.

[Bueno Excelente]

How are the Sonic X comics? I've never read them myself.

[Rin]

How are the Sonic X comics? I've never read them myself.

They're [tornado fang]ing horrible, at least at the beginning.
The art is horrible, etc.

In other news, I've just finished reading Batman & Robin 13, since I found out I have all the current issues on my HDD.
I have only one thing to say:
wat
So...
[spoiler]El Penitente is Thomas Wayne? buhwha? Why is he alive? Is it really him? Or maybe it's just some whacko? I think I gotta read Return of Bruce, and stat.[/spoiler]

Did you even read The Black Glove and RIP?

El Penitente is Hurt. Hurt was originally a military doctor who experimented with Batman and became fascinated with his mindset, thus implanting the whole Zur-Hn-Arrh. He now seeks to make the life of the Waynes a living hell by masquerading as one. It's still not clear whether he has any connection to them, but I don't think so, at least so far.

[Rin]

Did you even read The Black Glove and RIP?

I'm sorry, but I didn't.
However now I'm going to.

Also, sorry for being stupid, and thanks for clearing this up for me.

This will teach me to not skip ahead of things. : P

[Protoman Blues]

Oh, you can't skip ahead on any of Morrison's work. LoL, his mind is too crazy.

[Bueno Excelente]

Again, the current Bat-arc MUST be read from the beginning, or you won't understand a thing. Batman & Son, The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, The Black Glove and RIP. Only THEN you start with Batman & Robin and The Return of Bruce Wayne at the same time.

[Rin]

Oh [tornado fang]... I've finished reading RIP.
Christ, that was GREAT. Intense and crazy [parasitic bomb].

Now more things kinda makes sense...

I will soon begin reading Final Rites.

[spoiler] [tornado fang]ing HURT![/spoiler]

Final Rites just fills in the gaps in Final Crisis. Better read it WITH Final Crisis.

[Rin]

Okay then.
I'll do that.
Thanks.

[Bueno Excelente]

Don't forget to read Superman Beyons #1 and #2 in the middle of Final Crisis #3 and #4.

...and Final Rites (Batman #682 and #683) is between Final Crisis #5 and #6.

Sandman TV show? Holy [parasitic bomb].

[Protoman Blues]

Like I said on io9, that has the potential to be REALLY good or REALLY bad.  It might be something that benefits from being on Cable or HBO.

[Bueno Excelente]

They're calling the guy who makes Supernatural to make it.

I don't know the show that well, but my girlfriend's a hardcore fan and says he fits the bill.

...honestly? I think a spinoff show about Death would actually have been better suited for TV. A Sandman show will have to go into the realms of Twilight Zone or Nowhere Man in order to have that crazy weird bittersweet plot without tons of constant happiness and jokes to keep the regular american audience hooked.

Yeah, he is. That gives me quite a bit of hope. You're girlfriend has excellent taste, and not just in men. Supernatural is, IMO, one of the most underrated shows on television. As I always like to say, it "shouldn't" be as good as it is, but the writing is simply excellent, the characters are just awesome, and the show is a lot of fun, with fantastic choices of music.  If you get the chance to watch it from the beginning, definitely do so. I recommend it.

Speaking of Death, I need to read that issue where Luthor meets her.

I got so many shows to watch.... old shows, new shows, everyone keeps bothering me to watch this or that show and I go crazy. I barely got time left in the day with my own schedule. o_o
