The Jesus analogy. Superman is a modern day Klaatu.
I never would believe the best character Bendis can write distinctly is Superman, but here we are. Like, that Hippolyta line is pretty rough. And she's not even queen anymore.
Hawkgirl is a "Hawksister?" I mean...I guess?
People on Tamaran probably have more faith in Superman than they do their royal family.
I tried out thd Bendis League. The best I can say is, at least there are no cosmic doorknobs. But all the "characters " sound generic somehow. The one interesting thing beyond the art (love how Naomi is drawn) is the hinting that Hippolyte and Teth Adam once had dealings.
This was really bad. The Justice League story was only in about 1/3 of the book and the rest was taken up by Bendis’ side projects. When the League was in the comic they just stood around and bantered. I just skimmed through the last couple of pages.
Last issue had me thinking there was gonna be a big battle and I was here for it...now I'm bored as hell with this book.
Some of us wait, some of us act.
Bendis doesn't do big battles anyways.
The rest of DC’s current line has been good-to-great. This flagship title has been utter shit. (This is the first time I’ve used a curse word on these boards and the first time it’s been so warranted.)
Bendis, in my opinion, writes character conversations in the moment and expands on them. That's his strength. I would love to see how he writes Cyborg for an extended amount of panel time. But sometimes it's kind of not suitable for Superhero action comics. And for certain fans that are expecting a traditional comic format/storytelling.
Yeah, the issue was pretty bad.
It feels like Bendis doesn't actually follow through on the elements he sets up. The issue starts with the potential of a clash between the League and the United, but then it doesn't happen.
Then they spend pages talking about how their new HQ should be, only to have it rebuilt exactly as it was.
Everything seemed so pointless. I truly don't get what Bendis is trying to do with this book.
