Bulovski Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Don't buy it - read them in Landmark. Lucifer as a concept was portrayed well by Neil Gaiman in Sandman - but the series never took off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Y the last man is great - but it lost the plot completely towards the end. Fables on the other hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun360 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) but it lost the plot completely towards the end. Why. I thought it was fine. My only gripe with the end is that it ended too soon They could've kept going. Edited December 2, 2009 by arun360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 BIG SPOILER for Y The Last Man It never properly explained the wipeout. there were too many theories - and none of them tied in well. I think the writer just became lazy or lost the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun360 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I agree, any of those theories could've resulted in the wipeout. However, in an interview, the writer mentions that he didn't want to impose one of them on us. He's left it upto the reader to choose. I'm cool with that - I personally liked one of the endings which I want to believe as the cause. Edited December 2, 2009 by arun360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 My gripe is that point only, it didn't do a good job of tying up the series. Look at Fable - it brought the current arc to a beautiful end and started again. And see Sandman - perfect ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I loved Y the last man... But I was so pissed with the ending at that point that i cursed myself for spending so much and be left so frustrated at the ending. I was not well.... satisfied with the ending. BTW, just bought From Hell .. Bought loads of graphic novels in the last 2 months.. All pics to be uploaded today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 That major publishing event we mentioned earlier today? Well, here it is. Original stories featuring Batman and Superman in graphic novel form from the biggest creators out there. But these aren’t one-offs. We’re talking ongoing series of OGNs in a new continuity, on a new Earth. Sound appealing? Starting next year, DC Comics will unveil SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE and BATMAN: EARTH ONE, two graphic novels spotlighting the most powerful heroes of the DC Universe, with their first years and earliest moments retold in a standalone, original graphic novel format, on a new earth with an all-new continuity. Return to Smallville and experience the journey of Earth’s greatest adopted son, as he grows from boy to Superman in SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE by J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis. Watch from the darkest corners of Crime Alley as a young boy is struck by unbelievable tragedy that will forge the greatest crime-fighter to ever stalk the rooftops of Gotham City in BATMAN: EARTH ONE, by writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank. What does JMS have to say? Well, here’s a snippet from his first interview on the subject: “What I’m trying to do is to dig in to the character and look at him through modern eyes. If you were to create the Superman story today, for the first time, but keep intact all that works, what would it look like?” “It is monumental for us as comic readers to see Superman birthed for the first time,” Davis said. “It’s a privilege to realize that you’re the artist that gets to draw it, better yet having the luxury to do it in an original graphic novel. This is going to be epic!” What about Geoff Johns? Well, we happen to have a bit from his first interview as well: “BATMAN: EARTH ONE allows Gary and I to break the restraints of any continuity and focus on two things: character and story. Superman!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hmmm, I must say the Batman costume looks bad (it's probably the skewed proportions of the drawing) and Superman looks like he's from an Anime. Otherwise the art looks great. Alfred looks like a mob boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Another imagining - meh. DC is really reaching out with its convoluted plotlines, story reboots, and Crises arcs. They should concentrate on getting Batman out from limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 "Nemesis" Asks: What if Batman was The Joker? Superstar writer Mark Millar is no stranger to big events, and for two of his biggest projects, fan favorite Canadian artist Steve McNiven has been riding shotgun with the Scottish scribe. After collaborating on Marvel Comics' best-selling "Civil War" in 2006 and 2007, Millar and McNiven teamed up once more for the post-apocalyptic "Wolverine" serial "Old Man Logan" in 2008 and 2009. Five weeks ago today, Millar and McNiven released a one-page teaser poster for their third project, "Nemesis," with no information other than a release date: March 2010. Posters in the forums and the message boards throughout cyberspace have speculated that the book was everything from an "X-Men" revamp to an "Avengers" project and all points in between. The guessing can stop now as CBR News spoke exclusively with Millar and McNiven earlier this week, and the two shared as much as they could about their latest collaboration, a mini-series that will be released through Marvel's Icon imprint starring Nemesis, a supervillain that Millar compared to The Joker. The twist being that at his disposal, he had all of Batman's gadgets and resources, and that his primary target was Millarworld's answer to Commissioner Gordon.
