Again with Deathstroke. Interesting. I'll add it to the list. I'm also heavily pleased no one has said HQ ^^
As for the new Green Arrow, I never read his N52 stuff, but I remember digging his ideas of incorporating horror into his story. Its what he said in interviews anyway.
Not sure how i missed it as i pretty much collected every vertigo book when i collected floppies, but Doom Patrol, as someone who thinks Morrison is very overrated, will i like it? i loved All Star Superman, but on re-reading the Invisibles i pretty much hated it, i don't mind strange stories, but not strange stories just for the sake of it, so Doom Patrol - All Star Superman or Invisibles storytelling?
Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
[QUOTE=Hellboydce;2322532]I respectfully disagree and would suggest that if you want an oversized copy of Sin City to get the Big Damn book now (yes, I know it's a somewhat of a pain to read).
Dark Horse doesn't really have a precedent when it comes to reprinting Sin City. Instead, they move on to a different format.
There was the original tpbs, then the "library collection" which were smaller tpbs, and the nice Library Edition Hardcovers and then Big Damn.
When the new movie came out it would have been the perfect time to reprint them.
They didn't. Instead they released one (maybe two??) in a stand alone OHC.
Now, the stories are being collected in artists editions.
I don't expect Dark Horse to ever reprint the Library Editions. They've had time (I think they were first published more than 10 years ago) and never have.
I would love for them to. I'd ditch Big Damn in a minute, but I just don't see it.
As far as a new Sin City story goes, I don't expect that either. At least not any time in the next five years. Miller just isn't what he used to be. He released a few pages/pieces of art years and years ago, but I'm guessing he hasn't completed one issue of the series.
I think the concepts are very weird but the storytelling and the narrative isn't really. I would say it's closer to animal man but without the family element. Why not try the 1st volume of the new chunky trades?
BTW the invisibles is not weird for just the sake of it. It has a message, its Morrison' s statement on the world and stuff after he thinks he got abducted by aliens etc etc. DP on the other hand is weird because that's what it's about, the world's strangest superheroes fighting against weird crap the normal heroes don't get to do.
[QUOTE=TomSlick;2323163]A good point well made, I think I'm just living in hope, I love sin city but sold the big book as I found it far to cumbersome to read and I don't think it will stand the test of time and will end up in pieces, and I'm just hoping against hope that they do a new fancy release
nothing stellar but works well, definitely better than Animal man.
also, even though it builds on previous DP history (haven't read any but there is clearly a history) Morrison's run ends with everything thrown in and then the kitchen sink with all the plumbing too. So it's clearly an out of continuity version for me even though the JLA appears in one story. (and to be honest that's how I prefer it).
I finally finished the Perez omnibus last night, my first time with the material. Long story short-- Reputation well deserved. Fantastic overarching story that touches on feminism and equality (obviously), ego, faith (and when faith goes too far), forgiveness etc. Gold standard WW for a reason.
And now I hold out for a Volume 2.
My problem with Doom Patrol is the characters. They're flat and boring or at worst irritating. And Morrison doesn't do practically any character development. He won't make you like or empathize with or identify with any of them. Sure, some of the plots are wildly creative but that wasn't enough when you don't care about the characters in them. I think I got 400 pages deep then gave up. Haven't gone back since. I do plan to try it again someday, though.
