Yeah, but what about the comic though?

It was a cookie cutter story that didn't add anything to the grand Kang narrative. Not terrible, but forgettable. Hence the 7.

I thought it was very well written. The narration alone was worth the price of admission.

I am really digging this run. I don't understand what all the hate is about. Normally, I'm not a big fan of Tom King but this time around I'm loving it.

I tried to talk it out one-on-one. He wouldn't do it. I am pretty much indifferent to him at this point. I just think he has terrible, easily refuted views and since he constantly invokes them when criticizing comics, usually negatively, I just want to point it out how dumb his views are. Going through and refuting him takes little effort, so it's not much of a bother.

Hating a comic (or any media really) for disagreeing with you politically is one of the lowest forms of thought. And I think that's super commonplace in the comics sphere. Comics folk are easily angered and very opinionated. I think people like Merlyn make the rest of us look like shit. He gets a lot of support in this community from other shitty people with terrible views. I don't see the downside to calling them out, only the upside of showing them that they're unwanted in the community.

Typically, I'm not so hawkish with people who disagree with me. Even when they disagree with me in a way that I find reprehensible, like denying climate change or equal rights. Usually, if I do engage, it's to try to move them over. Merlyn, as I said earlier, is unwillingly to even talk about it. All this is to say that Merlyn is a specific case where I'm not concerned with changing his mind. I just want him and people at his level to go away.

I think one of the great things about comics is just how diverse they are. You get so many different perspectives, and it's what keeps the medium alive imo.

Good job dismantling the lies!

Lol...so anyone that doesnt share psychos politics and actually expresses it here is "shitty people" that he demands should go away from these boards. And Merlyn triggers him to the extent that he writes reviews about his reviews. Get help kid...seriously.

Yeah, actually, you are shitty. I've seen your comments before. Thanks for helping me remember you. Go away now.

You don't actually review anything on the site, you just comment about your crappy politics most of the time, usually in defense of Merlyn.

When a writer chooses to saturate his work with his politics he is open to criticism for it. But in psychos world view if you disagree with his politics you are a mon person and should be ostracized. Inside every lefty is a totalitarian screaming to get out isn't there psycho?

Social ostracization has nothing to do with totalitarianism. I assume you meant "non-person," and that's not something I said. Merlyn is definitely a person with feelings and passions and thoughts. He's just really stupid and I don't like how he makes the rest of us look. You keep calling me a psycho, but I think I've been very reasonable.

this site has gone nefarious with so many trolls offended at being blocked by stalkers, he blocked you, get over it!

these guys are sad, all they do is complain about POLITICS and comics being WOKE, it´s exhausting

I could understand it more if instead of there being an acknowledgement of climate change, the politics on display were like Frank Miller's Holy Terror.

Yes being triggered by Merlyn to the point of reviewing his reviews then declaring everyone that agrees with him"shitty people" who should never post here again positively screams reasinable...at least to your fellow budding totalitarians it does.

Love the parseltongue "social ostrasizatiion has nothing to do with totalitaruanis" whitewashing if your totalitarian fantasy if removing everyone you dont agree with politically. North Korea is probably taking notes right now. But of course demanding an ideological purge of these boards screams reasonable..lol

Look I want to just enjoy comics too. And if a new title starts a discussion about any aspect of it one shouldn't have to be trolled by neurotic children with totalitarian fantasies. Is this beyond you.

Climates change. Man doesn't change them. But I ll call your bluff cite for me one precedent where a "green policy" has changed a climate back to what you believe is the right climate. Good luck.

Anyway enjoy the book as long as it lasts. I'm sticking with Clark Kent.

I do think people who look at Merlyn's reviews and think he's making good points are really idiotic. And I think people who support those ideas on display are typically not great people, morally. I mean, just look at what one of Merlyn's groupies posted on his profile page. About how the gays are taking over. It's not only bigoted (and therefore shitty), it's also insane. I don't want these people representing this community or the broader comics community.

I don't know what you were getting at with your second comment because it isn't written well, but totalitarianism is a form of government that is centralized, dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state. I'm not advocating for any of that. I'm fine with political disagreements. I just don't support disinformation and misinformation, nor do I support bigotry. Those are beyond the pale of political disagreement.

The difference here is I can enjoy comics regardless of the politics in them. For instance, I'd say Dark Knight Returns is pro-fascist. Obviously, I disagree with that. But I can still recognize that it's a entertaining read and very important to the growth of Batman as a character. I think being so dogmatic that you can't enjoy things that don't subscribe 100% to your beliefs is cowardly and childish.

Climates do change over time, that's true. But man, with his fossil fuels and plastics, accelerate the process to the point where inhabitability will one day be impossible. Fossil fuels create carbon emissions that build up in the atmosphere, and absorb and radiate heat. This leads to temperatures rising which leads to the waters of the Earth rising in temperature as well. This causes a lot of things.

The rising temperatures melt the ice in the north and south poles, which rises the water levels, which leads to massive floods and coastal regions being consumed by the oceans. The heat of the oceans and the heat in the air mix to create more and more violent and dangerous weather patterns. The heat acidifies the oceans, killing off sea life, which leads to ecological collapse.

The heat creates intense droughts that cripple our food supply and lead to wildfires breaking out, either because of lightning, sparks or some asshole lighting something on fire. The heat also kills many, many animals, including bugs. If bugs go extinct, everyone else does. This is on top of deforestation and hunting, which destroys habitats and kills so many more animals. Humans are responsible for plenty of ecological ills outside of the direct cause-and-effect of climate change.

We've driven an insane amount of species to extinction. It is undeniable the effect humanity has on the environment and the climate. We are killing our planet. As for your request, I think I should disabuse you of the notion that we can just snap our fingers and fix this. We can't. The damage has been done. All we can do is enact policies now to prepare for the devastation of climate collapse and to slow the heating process down.

Therefore, there is no policy that has "changed the climate back" to something resembling a viable climate. That's such a stupid notion, and it shows how little you actually know about this subject or basic science. As for policies to enact to lessen the burden of climate change, we need to invest in green energy. Wind, solar, hydro, and even nuclear. All of those are better than fossil fuels.

I think it would be beneficial long term, not just for the climate, but economically. It is a necessity. We need to put water conservation efforts at the forefront. We are nearly out of drinkable, useable water. The water that we use, in America, to grow our crops in the Midwest is almost completely dried up. We need to move towards public transit instead of everyone having a car, with electric cars being a nice transition.

We need to actually recycle plastics and paper goods, instead of shipping them off to China. We need to stop using plastics. Microplastics are everywhere, in everything. We know it creates hormonal imbalances, causes cancer, and it will slowly sterilize men. It is no good for us or the environment. These are all policies put forth by politicians who fight for green policies. And I think they'd be helpful in saving humanity from the worst of climate change.

@Psycamorean - while I somewhat see what you're saying...I think you're giving Merlyn a bit too much of your time. Even if it's not "a bother". Confession - when I come to this site I do go hunting for his comments cos, while I never agree with them, I find them amusing & I know they're almost always going to cause a ruckus. That said I've had a brief 1-1 with him in the past & he comes across as straightforward. He knows what he likes and how he likes it. His review of comics seem to be tied to

his views (political and otherwise) and that's how he has chosen to operate. Which is at his sole discretion and within his rights. Those that agree with him are already of a similar mindset. No one would be changing their stance based on his reviews. Point is, if you don't agree with it/ have an issue with it...tough. Move on. I (and I'm sure a great number of others) certainly did. You do you, while he does him.

@Mr. White I don't think I'm giving him that much time. I review a lot of comics, and the majority of those reviews have nothing to do with Merlyn. Did you see the massive wall of text I wrote about climate change above? That's me putting forth effort. Me typing up a short paragraph about Merlyn's shitty takes is maybe a 30 second ordeal. He doesn't have nuanced or original opinions, so I don't have to think hard about my responses.

Just as it's within his rights to criticize these comics however he wants to (I kind of disagree with this wording - we're on an internet forum and therefore subject to moderation. This is a private platform, not a public one - I get what you mean), it is within my rights to use my platform at my own discretion.

@Mingthemerciless Hey so, in light of the IPCC climate report, I just want to stress that continued dismissal of anthropogenic climate change will end in deadly consequences, almost assuredly now.

Wow, Psycamorean, I think you really have some problems with other people opinions... You know, they are exist... And so be it! It just weird, that someone's reviews are bother you so badly... Just chill, man. Read comics and enjoy the best of them.

I'm super chill and I enjoy comics.

You aren't if you want to shut Merlyn no matter what... If he hates most of the comics he reads, then it's only his problem and you could just feel for him a bit, because it's him who sad and angry, not you :D

Exactly!!! That's exactly my problem with the book.

You really, really need to finish and reevaluate this book. Its main character is supposed to be flawed and unlikable in parts. Thats part of the point of this.

No, he hit it on the nose. He references things I've read a million times and they don't sound familiar at all.

When I say "he" hit it on the nose I mean MainManDan. The second sentence, I was talking about Ridley's references. Sorry, I should have wrote that better, I made it a little confusing lol.

I know the whole deal. I love Harry Potter but I do have issues with all her Terf nonsense. Over the years I learned to separate the art from the artist. I thought that joke was really lame in Teen Titans Academy. I just felt like a forced way for the writer to virtue signal a bit. I just didn't buy it, you know what I mean? Tim Sheridan's not really that great of a writer, to me at least. I said it before but he hasn't been really flushing out the characters in the story has been meh.

The new characters he has created have lame names and lame powers. "Totally Tubular", ugh, shoot me now. Sometimes I read a comic and I don't know how half the shit gets passed editorial. Who read that garbage and was like "Yeah, this is going to be great", once again, ugh 🤦.

Fleshing** not flushing. Talk to text screws certain words up but I'm sure you can fill in the gap.

It really bums me out though because Rafa Sandoval is penciling his heart out and Alejandro Sanchez is kicking so much ass on colors. The idea of Teen Titans Academy is fantastic but the execution is sorely lacking. Strange Academy, comparatively, is a far superior book. I was hoping for a Teen Titans to hook me like that book did but no dice.

I do think Strange Academy is better, but admittedly, Teen Titans Academy has grown on me a bit as the series has continued. I don't think it's a good series but it's better than what I expected after reading through Tim Sheridan's Future State comics.

Wait, but you keep reading Spencer's run?

I've really been liking this run. Sometimes I can't tell if people actually don't like the run or if they just hate Nick Spencer because I know most people hate Nick Spencer. When I first started reading it I didn't really like the first arc all too much but after hunted I started to love it and I really enjoyed it since.

I've been a fan since day one. I may be too positive on it, admittedly. But I've been reading Spider-Man forever and this run feels like Spider-Man to me. Some of the arcs have been a little wonky, like 2099 and Chameleon Conspiracy, but overall, it's one of my top series on shelves today. Nick Spencer just had his reputation tarnished due to the response to Secret Empire. It's a shame because he's a really good writer. Some people just weren't willing to get past the idea of Hydra Cap.

Sometimes I feel like people have it out for Spurrier. He's an amazing writer but for some reason he just never catches on. He's as underappreciated as Al Ewing was before Immortal Hulk and I find them to be of an equal caliber.

I think he'll have his due eventually. Like Ewing did. It'll just have to be a situation of right place, right time and a little bit of luck. Maybe if he's given a bigger title, that'll be what does it.

Back in the day he used to have to be close to water. He had a hydration suit at one point and everything but that shit was taking out of continuity by Geoff Johns. Bendis is a hack. There's no good reason for him to be retreading that crap. Johns made Aquaman awesome, it's a damn shame he's trying to turn back the clock. That guy cannot stop himself from ruining everything.

Okay, at least there's *some* precedent for that, even if it was retconned. I agree it's very stupid. Maybe with a writer that wrote good characters and good plots, it'd come across as comedic relief. But with Bendis, it's just an added annoyance.

JK Rowling is plenty problematic. She disregards and spreads hatred towards a group of people due to her own biases, despite her misconceptions being thoroughly debunked again and again. It springs from a place of trauma, as she has been abused by men in the past, and sees men as predators. This extends to trans women because she doesn't regard them as women, which is pretty problematic. Science and society disagree with her.

Seriously? :))

Yeah, I still wanted my piece said here.

Ok. :))) Seems crazy to me but whatever, I know I'm staying out of it this time.

Fair enough.

JK Rowling is problematic but Harry Potter is not. People not liking something simply because the writer is a douchebag, is dumb. It's your right but it's dumb. You can like something and hate who made it. I've met some of my favorite rappers and band members from my favorite bands and some are good guys and some were absolute pieces of shit and for a while it did turn me off from their music but eventually I learned to separate the art from the artist.

That being said...this if she was completing utter trash. The art was a vent level and gorgeous and Alejandro Sanchez is definitely one of the best colorists in comics today but the writing was cringe and the characters and story need to be fleshed out more.

This issue** not if she was. Forgive some of that, talk-to-text messed it up.

I don't think JK Rowling is problematic, nor "utter trash". Just because she has different views about delicate subjects doesn't make her either. No one should bow mindlessly to lunatic progressives, we're not in a totalitarian society where we don't have the option to dissent. I don't know if you've seen but she received hundreds of death threats from these crazies.

Also, I should warn you, if you wanted to reply to Psycamorean, he can't see these comments anymore, I've blocked him because he's one of those lunatic progressives as you've already seen and I don't want all that crazy in the comments on my posts anymore.

The death threats are a bit much. Nobody should get death threats for an opinion but there's a small group of people out there that just want to be treated as people. They don't want to be looked at as freaks they don't want to be treated like garbage. It is what it is. It's one thing to an express and opinion it's another to be militant about it and she's a lunatic feminist just like the far-left liberals can be lunatics. She's just as bad, just the other side of the coin.

People always snare at the "both sides people" but let's be honest, there are lunatics on all sides. Lunatic feminists, lunatic far-right douchebags, lunatic far-left douchebags. They are the people who scream the loudest, therefore they are the people we always hear about. She has some valid concerns but also has said some wacky shit.

I'm just not a fan of militant feminists. Not really a fan of militant anything.

You do know that 99% of the people that insult her actually agree with her on all her feminits stances, right? That's the lunacy of all this, she's with them on most of the subjects, she just dissented on this one, JUST THIS ONE. But that was enough because that's how it is with these people, you deviate from their dogma a tiny inch and that's it, you're cancelled, you're getting death threats etc.

In an all honesty, it's not just their faults, sure, they're mentally ill but corporations and the media are bowing down to them instead of opposing them as any normal society would. And you give up one inch to these people, the game's over. About the "wacky shit" that Rowling supposedly said, you should some of the stuff the people who attack her said. "Wacky" doesn't even begin to cover it.

If you ask me, I don't really feel sorry for her personally because for years she encouraged them, she's been on their side, she fed the monster until the monster ate her. BUT as a matter of principle, free-speech is for me fundamental for a free and just society so if I have to defend someone like Rowling for that, it's a price I'm willing to pay. Also, you know, unlike the trolls that attack her, she actually contributed to society with something useful, she made those books that I enjoyed.

Listen, JK Rowling is a scumbag but I can still love Harry Potter. That "joke" just felt so forced, like a lot of things in this issue. Giving it a 10 just to piss someone off just seems silly. This book has event level art but is written by a writer who doesn't seem to know how to take his time and flesh out new characters. He also seems uncomfortable, a good amount of the dialogue is pretty cringe-worthy.

I think his art is way better than it was a few years ago. Take a look at the run he did on Uncanny Inhumans and then come and look at this again. It's not a big difference but it's noticeable and it looks better here. Although, I rather have Fernando Pasarin or Jack Herbert as the full-time artist. I think Will Conrad is doing the next few issues, he's pretty solid.

Right?!? This book has been kicking ass.

You know, maybe you're right, I'm going to reread this comic, maybe some more except Venom than that if I took the time. I have had a bit of work and I trust it was more a glance with a very superficial. On Saturday I will surely be putting a more thorough grade.

I went a lot for the visual

I don't really see how it was all over the place. The whole entire issue is about the creation of a planet and everything that comes with it. It was pretty straightforward. I'm sure humanity is going to have a shit fit but they were going to have a shit fit anyway with millions of new Mutants showing up in an instant. That's why they had that scene with Cap and Cyclops.

Humanity SHOULD have a shit fit. Imagine that tomorrow Germany manages to claim the moon or Mars as their own. It's world war the next second. If anything, the humans will be too lenient with mutants if they don't start a war.

@fenixlasnegras: I expected a lot better than what we got here, the art was good. Though I have some critiques towards Larraz, too. The designs for the Arakki mutants are pretty lame, I expected better from him. He's still my favorite artist from the X-Men line and the best from Marvel right now but I feel like he didn't let his imagination run wild enough. X-Men has a history of interesting looking characters and the Arakki did nothing for me.

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

Derivative art, nice writing.

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

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.
