You've never read a Tom King book you liked?

Vision and Omega Men were pretty good.

You didn't like Mr.Miracle? If not then i understand just, I'm just curious.

I think Mr. Miracle is good, I'm just not a fan of the 9 panel lay out and how Tom King drew nine pictures of Granny Goodness reacted to anything. Plus, I was more interested in how Mister Miracle dealt with being a dad instead of thinking whether Mr. Miracle was hallucinating or not. What makes you like Mr. Miracle @Crimson Knight?

Derivative art, nice writing.

It worked for me..I like Kara here. I think the problem was she was Tom Kings version and it didnt allow you to put yourself into it enough when reading but still it wasnt that bad

Are we really expected to believe that you continue to buy and read Tom King’s work? Then rate most of them 1, which means it couldn’t get worse. We get it, you hate King. WE GET IT. But stop pretending you’re buying and reading his work. Or IF YOU ARE, that says a lot about YOU.

And the fact that you're ALWAYS BUTTHURT when I critique King says a LOT about YOU. See, I can use Caps Lock, too, it's not that hard.

@JBL Reviews: This guy is mentally deficient Zionist bootlicker! https://i.imgur.com/VzTku3M.png His entire review history is a clown show.

Zionist bootlicker. =)))) Please, go away, I block anti-Semites. Do yourself a favor and don't make me do that.

@FuzzyCracker It’s funny that he thinks he is fooling everyone. He just casually PAYS for and reads every King book just to give them 1s. It’s too transparent.

@Merlyn-if you’ve paid attention to anything I’ve said, I’m not a huge King fan. You just don’t know what else to say when someone calls out your falsehoods. Show me where I’ve been butthurt? WE GET IT you hate King. No way you’re paying for his work each month if you rate it all the worst comic. We see through you.

WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU that I don't like King if you're not a huge King fan, then? This is you being butthurt. Why is this a problem for you? I'm no fan of Tom Taylor, Tini Howard or Bendis either but I don't see you commenting on those reviews. No, you appears just when I don't like King. Oh, and btw, being buddies with anti-Semites doesn't look good on you, you should do better.

@Merlyn it bothers me because I come here to read reviews of books, not books someone didn’t purchase or read. I don’t come here to see that you are trying to prove a point about King and give fake reviews.

@Merlyn Buddlies? You sure stretch things to try to find some way to get at me. He responded to my comment. No idea who he is. It’s like a 13 year old behavior to try so hard to get me upset. Sorry. I’m not that guy.

Funny how you ended up on that site only to "check me out". Sure, buddy, sure, we're all buying that. :)) And what's a torrent site? I don't think you mean what you actually want to mean. Thanks for being a stalker, btw, you should thank me for making your boring life more interesting. :))

@JBL Reviews: I can guarantee that I don't give fake reviews but whatever, if that helps you sleep at night, believe what you want to believe. I'll keep writing these reviews and I'll always speak my mind. If King writes a good book, you can be damn sure I'll give it a high rating, if you check Rorschach there were a few issues that I really liked and rated pretty high.

@JBL Reviews: Regardless, you coming to complain won't stop me from reviewing those books. So either deal with it, ignore my reviews or block me. Your choice.

Were you talking about yourself in that first phrase? Because that was EXACTLY what you did. The irony is delicious, I have to say. :)) Well, YOU should live in your head rent-free, although I doubt you should have to pay for your brain, it's probably not worth it. :)) Damn, you're dumb as a rock!

Men, I bet you didnt read it. You just hate Tom King and have so much free time to come here and review with a 1.0 every page with his name.

@Batman instructions de uso: you see the pattern, too? I think it’s time we all begin to call it out. I support anyone hating a comic, but he hates King so much that on day 1 of release, he’s already read each issue and given it the lowest rating. Suspicious.

Actually Merlyn does read the books he reviews. Feel free to press him on a detail in the book not available online and I'm sure you'll eat your words. As for mister Zionist bootlucker that's new level of racist on these boards. But if you ladies want to talk to someone who will never read a Tom King book ever because his writing is god awful...then talk to me.

For instance...what are the oddsKing will use public domain literature or songs in lieu of writing within say...oh 5 issues of this latest garbage of his?

@JBL Reviews: "Call me out" for expressing my opinion? That's not "calling me out", that's you trying to put your fist in my mouth. Believe me, it doesn't work, just for you I'll make sure to rate every book I read from Tom King. And if you continue to spam me because I don't like what you like, I will have to block you. I don't want to do it, believe me, I enjoy having conversions with people who have different opinions than my own but the "calling me out" thing did get on my nerves.

And a dude who rated this crap with 10 surely can't "call me out" on anything. @JBL Reviews: I don't see you, however, calling him out on his rating. The rating so far is 5.5. I rated it with 1, he rated it with 10. We're both pretty far from how most see it, the math says we're both as far away just in opposite ways. But of course you don't have a problem with that, just with my rating. That surely proves you're not a King fanboy, no.

Oh, and I WAS considering dropping the book after King's shitshow but just for you I'll make the sacrifice and read it through the end. Just so you understand that trying to shut me up forcefully won't work with me.

Tom King was literally pulled off Batman 15 issues short. Even the fan dead DC saw he was tanking the flagship title. I had zero interest in his consolation prize BatmanCatwoman which as I expected is the same standard of lazy garbage he did with Batman. He seems to fare a little better reader wise with second and third tier characters like mister miracle but I dont care. He succeeded in stopping from buying my favorite book for nearly 85 issues and his writing stinks on ice.

Yeah ok art is subjective but I don't even give King that leeway for what he did to batman.

I ll keep saying it...DC needs to lose King Bendis Tynion and Ridley as quickly as possible. Have you seen the manure Bendis is writing on JL?

Stop saying that, Ming, or they'll have to "call you out" too. :))

Oh the slings and arrows. Hey look I just wrote a Tom King.

Lol, here, have a 10, put a song in it and maybe you'll get an Eisner. :))

Hey nonny nonny titwillow titwillow. I'm sure King has used that medieval hit for one of his deep and clever plot devices.

Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with Anti-Semitism. I know that the pro-Israel lobby, no matter what they do, like breaking the ceasefire today, likes to conflate the two, but they aren’t the same thing. As a Jewish person that wants to see peace and a Palestinian state, I resent that. I also resent being called names for liking a writer that you don’t like. That’s not just unnecessary, it’s crude and I don’t think it ought to have any place here.

Sure, we're all buying that you're a Jewish person so you can spout out your anti-Semitic bullshit, yeah. Well, I resent you coming here to spout all that crap so if you don't mind, stop commenting on my reviews because honestly, I find your tactics pretty disgusting.

You’re telling me I’m pretending to be Jewish? Do you want me to quote the Torah section of my Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emanuel to you? My last name is Nadler. Look it up. And screw you for calling a practicing Jew an anti-Semite. You give Jewish people a bad name.

Zionism is not Judaism. Any Jew and any educated person should know the difference.

Fine, you're Jewish, whatever. I'm still not buying the rest of your bullshit so if you would kindly stop spamming me, that would be great. Like I said to the guy before you, you don't like what I have to say, deal with it. I don't need to hear your complaints on and on, got it the first time. And still don't buy the whole "I'm actually anti-Zionist, not anti-Semite" but if gets you to shut up I'll pretend that I do.

Spot on brother. Tom King is overhyped trash. I'm glad you made the Bendis comparison because I've caught him too many times doing that "This is how real people talk" schtick that Bendis tries to do but these days fails at terribly. He's not as bad as Bendis in this department but there were moments in his Batman run where he came REALLY close and yes folks, some people still take a chance on a new Tom King #1 even when they historically hate him.

When will people stop acting like this guy shits gold? Does Batman started off decent and then was up and down but somewhere after War of Jokes & Riddles it took a freaking nosedive. It was so bad, he got booted off the book early. Why DC keep screwing Supergirl I'll never know. I actually liked that Mark Andreyko run a bit but they booted him off of that and gave it to...I don't even remember because it sucked. They do the same thing to Batgirl.

I actually really, really liked his run up until #50. I though he brought a lot of very interesting ideas that Batman desperately needed at that time. That's what these people don't get, I don't "hate" Tom King, I'll praise him when he writes a good book, I'm not petty like that.

But after the second half of his Batman run, after Heroes in Crisis, after Batman/Catwoman, after Strange Adventures I started to notice that no matter how badly he writes there are always going to be a lot of people who're going to praise him even when his writing is atrocious. And they're always rating his stupid shit with 10 like it's a masterpiece. It's a disgrace.

If on the cover of this book it would be the name of, I don't know, say, Robert Venditti? No one would care about this and the rating would be very, very low. But since it's King let's all pretend this is Watchmen or something. And yeah, I also agree about Supergirl and Batgirl, DC continues to screw these characters by giving them only to bad writers. Which is a shame because along with Wonder Woman, they're the best female superheroes DC has.

Succinctly...there's plenty of leftist jews in the US that defend anti semites when they call others "Zionist bootlickers" because the smokescreen of "Zionism" gives cover to their desire to harm Jews and Isreal while the leftist jews can say "I'm one of the good jews dont come after me". We saw how successful that was in Germany in the 1930s.

Now onto something we should be anti towards. Tom Kings writing and continued presence at DC.

TJM dont sell Bendis short either...his writing is bargain basement trash. His run on superman produced a teenaged Jon Kent that no one likes. And his big bad Kobol...whatever U cant even be arsed to look him up...was relegated to the dying heap of faceless generic baddies faster than a wh@re drops her drawers.

And his effort on JL is shaping to be equally banal and forgettable.

Merlyn is far more patient with Tom King than he deserves. His run on Batman was lazy fractured edgelord trash that tried to febreeze with public domain literature and songs in lieu of...you know...actual writing. I'm sure Tom thinks...hey that's my style...but style requires a degree of talent and flair to pull off. King has neither.

Even the tone deaf DC finally admitted the obvious and pulled King off Batman 15 issues early. How bad do you need to be tanking a title for DC to do that. So DC threw him a bone and gave him BatnanCatwoman and dus he lift his game? Nope more "too clever for you" all over the place musings that go nowhere peppered with edgelord tripe.

Wow, Ming. What you wrote above is some pure anti-Semitism. The Internet is ugly, especially here..

Zdarsky has been on a bat centric book a more few months in an anthology no less and batfans like ne are screaming at DC to give him a shot at his own book.

You’re a bad Jew if you don’t unquestionably support everything that Israel does? That sort of thinking has more in common with the Weimar Republic than anything.

And lol at “leftists.” A clear majority of American Jews are Democrats.

What about Tynion you say? Peacemaker Punchline and Ghostfart or whatever....three totally crappy and poorly received creations of his while he rehashes city of bane with Joker war which was a rehash of the far superior Knightfall. And currently more fan fiction rehash as we speak.

And where is the incompatibility between Democrats and leftists? And yes, a lot of Democrats are spreading hateful things about Israel, under the guise of "anti-Zionism". And why are we having this debate anyway? Yes, I defend Israel's right to exist, if that's what makes me a "Zionist bootlicker" then whatever, I'm that.

Count me in as another "Zionist bootlicker". We plenty of "anti Zionists" attacking every jew they encountered recently in NY and LA. Funny how they can tell a jew from a Zionist and know who to beat up.oergaos armbands for jews need come back? What say you Jonesy?

Abraham accords are a way forward. Economic success and prosperity eases the kinds of conditions used to gin up hatred of jews and Israel in the region. Forward thinking Arab states see that as well as a valuable ally against the mullahs. King Hussein of Jordan admitted that Gaza is kept poor and an open wound as a pretext to attack Israel.

Funny how lack of prosperity was used by a certain Austrian corporal to go after a few Jews in his neighborhood too. Zionism got thrown around a lot then too.

Anyway Merlym..out of respect to you I ll stick to comics for any further posts from me on this thread. Have I told you how much I think Tun Kings writng stinks?

You guys are really worked up over a review that has nothing to say.

A 1/10 really? Were we reading the same comic? I’m interested to see what you’d rate a 10.

I didn't rate any comic with 10 so far. Though maybe some HoX/PoX issues deserve it. I did rate some with 9.5, check my ratings if you're so interested in that. And yes, it's a 1, it's just awful. Also, for people who come here to comment on a review that "has nothing to say": WHY ARE YOU HERE COMMENTING? Do you need the attention or something? I don't comment on reviews that I think have nothing to say.

Yo calm down bro, I just think your review lacks insight and sounds more like a poorly thoughtout emotional outburst.

O and by the way Im not you... thank god. I do what I want, and I wanted to let you know your review sucks

its like just my opinion man. You really so upset after posting a shit review publicity hahahahaha your bad bro

Ather do you review reviews a lot?

Bro

Do you get compelled to review reviews when they give a 10/10 as well or only the ones that are 1/10? Bro.

I ask because you seem really worked up about this review. Bro

Yes I find reviewing reviews interesting... bro

I don't see you reviewing any other reviews though. Bro.

You seem particularly fixated on this review alone. Bro

If I can better understand you, it will only strengthen my own views. This is why I want to truly understand the mind of a hater. But if you cant properly express yourself it helps no one. Thus a challenge

Can you direct me to other reviews of reviews you have here? Bro

talking to likeminded individuals does very little for me so no I usually dont ever talk to someone that gives 6+ reviews to something I already like.

What about 10/10 reviews do they get under you skin the same way? Bro

You can do your own homework

So low score reviews trigger you? Bro

You lack understanding already

Not seeing any other of your reviews if reviews. Bro

Cant gund what isn't there. Bro

Cany find what isn't there.

Much like your integrity. Bro

Do once again...low score reviews trigger you? Bro

Not only are ypu wrong, but what you are trying to say is irrelevant also

If I reviewed your review if this review Is say you're a viscious troll with a small intellect. Bro

Yeah ok

So to review your criteria on reviewing reviews...you never review a review over 6/10 only low score reviews trigger your fetal review instincts. Right? Bro

AEther, you're getting blocked if you don't stop it right now. You've added nothing to this conversation, you've just spammed me and I don't like that. Stop it or I'm going to block you. I don't care about your crappy opinions, I'm not the one commenting on your review, you are. Just stop.

If the next comment from you comes and is anything other than an apology for spamming, that's the second you're getting blocked.

Just offering your own criteria to clarify for me. Low scores trigger you high scores are "like minded" and dont affect you? Right? Bro

Everyone here, including those who attacked me actually added something to this conversation, you're the only one who didn't and just tries to stir shit up. So yeah, I have no need for trolls around here.

Merlyn stfu you idiot

Ming, don't indulge him any more, please. He's really just trolling and he's adding comments here without saying anything.

Ok. AEther just left the chat.

He went to fling poo at the zoo visitors outside his enclosure. Right Aethet? Bro.

Keep a social distance though. Bro

No, I blocked him. I'll unblock him eventually, I always do that, even with shitty people who don't deserve it but for now he desperately needed a break.

Cheers Merlyn

Someone hates alcohol....

Lol no, I actually may like a little bit too much for my own good. :))

*like it

Lmao

Merlyn, your a fat idiot that needs to go outside more instead of being obssessed with a writer who doesn't know you exist. Maybe even talk to a breathing female for once instead of the corpses we all know you like to play with ;)

Direct block. And I'm not even going to unblock you because it's not the first time you come out of nowhere with nothing but insults. Like in football, you get two yellow cards, it's a red.

Can you please explain what you mean by that

Does Kara Zor-El through her comic history strike anyone like the person who would sit and drink at a bar and pick fights? No. This story is a ripoff of True Grit, and instead of adapting the story to the character, Tom King just let the Rooster Cogburn character remain and put it in a Supergirl suit.

I loved the Men in Black reference. "Edgar suit" 🤣.

Guys he saying Kara is taking after the character from True Grit John Wayne/Jeff bridges character. Anyways considering what a joke Kara is, yes she is a joke imo. This was a pretty awesome fusion for her.

Why would we want the same old Kara over and over...this was refreshing and fun...maybe you didnt like it but atleast it was something different. I am shocked by the hate for this issue

It's about passion for the character. It's not surprising. If Batman would become the opposite of what he was or Superman in the main continuity would, this small upset would seem like a match compared to the hellfire that would rise. Have main continuity Superman under no influence of Kryptonite get shitfaced at a bar, start a fight and go out and puke and the outrage would be on the front page of magazines. This is Kara's fanbase saying no. Tell me you would say the same if this was Kal.

It would never happen though. DC recalled a magazine for Kal just holding a beer once. DC:s double standard on how they treat Supergirl and Superman is appalling, but people who don't care much about the character never notice.

That double standard does not only go for DC though. If Kal had been drinking and fighting and puking you can bet this would have been reflected in the reviewer scores for breaking character. When it comes to Kara though barely a handful of the "professional" reviewers weigh it in their score. Kudos to those who do. There should have been more of them.

She didnt start a fight, she protected a girl who was attacked and robbed. Alcohol is not only bad people, its common for all types of people to celebrate with it. To have kara wait till she is 21 goes to show what a girlscout she actually is, and you can obviously tell... this is her first time. Im just fine with this being a depiction of 21 year old kara myself.

"Rooster Cogburn wearing a Supergirl Edgar-suit" God, that's funny. Well put.

boring review

Bro has the attention span of a bug
