Message: [QUOTE="Mr. Daddy, post: 202466, member: 250953"] [CENTER]Yeah, I think I'd have significantly fewer issues with Tower of Babel if it was just clearly marked as an Elseworld story or something like that. Even if it came to influence mainline comics then, I don't think it would have been as drastic as what we have now. I think the biggest thing that's always irked me about it though is that, while it's definitely first and foremost supposed to be a deconstruction, it also kinda feels like a sneaky backdoor "Batman isn't really powerful enough to stand next to all the other superheroes, we have to power him up" kind of plot, which I think really misses the point of why Batman is on the team to begin with. He doesn't need to be the guy that can single-handedly take anyone out with planning, but he absolutely should be the guy who can figure out how his team can get there together. [/CENTER] [CENTER]Yeah, I've been keeping up with each comic as it comes out. It's been killing me having to wait about a month for each issue :loldog. Martian Manhunter #2 in particular has me dying, because so much of the art in the issues we have (especially "the shot" in issue 2) are exactly what I was wanting from the concept of that book, and I'm very interested to see how they're going to take the story they're building up going forward. The way they've been visualizing the Martian is also really fun, too.

I can't say that I've absolutely 100% hated everything Disney has done with Star Wars since they got it, but I could comfortably but it somewhere around 85%, which is a lot worse than the track record the EU had. I've always felt like most of the worse stuff from the EU was generally pretty inconsequential, like some of the more unknown short stories or some of the Young Reader's Novels. At least where comics are concerned, Star Wars was usually pretty damn strong.[/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
