    Seeley obviously does not deserve any flack he gets on Twitter - no writer does; these are made up characters and writers are real-life people -, but I also recall his run post-Grayson as very...

    I really liked this trailer, and am excited for the show to premiere. The animation is fluid, the few lines of voice acting we got were great, and the design choices are a visual match for Supes.

    I think the writer and artists were a poor fit together. Rossimo excels in composition and Ortez’s linework has great fluidity to it - they’d be good at a high action comic with inventive paneling...

    I want to say that I agree with almost everything here, except that I can imagine a title that would fit Rossimo’s art - this just wasn’t it at all.
  5. That was indeed the way out I was referring to,...

    That was indeed the way out I was referring to, I'm afraid. I think they'll consider it enough - Beast will essentially reset back to his original character.

    I think it's a poor idea and a poorer...

    Oh, I wouldn't worry about that mate. X-Men 97 will premiere later this year, then the MCU films will surely include Hank. A redemption arc for him is imminent.

    This phase is painful as it goes,...

    I would like for this to be the case, and that may even have been Hickman's original intention, but I don't think that's what we'll see.

    This is exactly my problem with this storyline.

    Hank might be my favorite original X-Men (though I love them all), but I would be perfectly fine with a villain arc for him if it were done well.

    This is a fair point, but Duggan and Percy have been doing double duty for quite a long time, so the X-Office is seemingly ok with it.

    I agree with the general sentiment that Dick's graduation to Nightwing was nothing special as a story, but it was somewhat of a new concept back then, so that held itself. As mentioned in my message,...

    Is he dumb for sharing his wealth? For helping others in need?

    This is a man who stumbled upon his wealth - he was adopted by a wealthy man, then that man's butler/father figure grew to love him...

    I would not consider him a Mary Sue: he's not particularly great at anything, nor is he beyond making mistakes, nor does he lecture the other characters to prop himself up. A Mary Sue/Gary Stu is...

    From issue #83: "My name is Dick Grayson. I've just become a billionaire. But I don't believe any one person should have so much when so many have so little. So I'm giving it away."

    Even then, I find that hard to imagine under the current circumstances.

    Catwoman’s situation is different: she is not the only female LGBT character in the franchise. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy...

    This is very interesting. It also likely increases the chances that Steve Fox is indeed writing Iceman, otherwise that would have been removed as well.

    If you believe there is a way back from this, you're deluding yourself. Tim has come out as bi, and he shall be bi henceforth.

    There is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Even if you were...

    I don't think editorial is against it, it's simply that the character wouldn't lend himself well to that so they must not have gotten an interesting pitch. There's a certain wholesomeness to Dick's...

    I honestly think this is simply a function of the Penance form being the most recognizable form.

    I've always found Monet insufferable, so I never paid much attention to what they do with her...

    I am also ready for the overarching storyline to move on to a new status quo. The line has gotten too comfortable where it is; it's a bit repetitive.

    I don't think the artist absolutely needs to be queer, as long as the guys don't come out ugly. There was an issue in the previous Iceman run with Angel in which both looked like Easter Island...

    This is my greatest fear for that solo. I did not enjoy Vecchio's previous run, and I am not a fan of his art, so I'd skip the comic.

    I don't know how prevalent that opinion is, and I know...

    Excited for this new run and cautiously optimistic.

    I hope most of all for a fun romp, something that mirrors Bobby's lighthearted nature. Write in all the bad jokes, class-clown ideas and dorky...

    Were you specifically expecting Oliveira there?

    I mean, he may be there (under the "& MORE!" umbrella), but I don't see why we should think he'd have a guaranteed spot.

    The "masterrace" concept, as embraced by the Germans in the 1930s, was based on the idea that they were genetically superior to everyone else. There was an unmistakably Darwinian strain to that...
