I originally started this DCnU collecting 11 titles and dropped down to 7 for month 2 and I'm already planning my exit strategy on those 7 books. I'm realizing that that they are cheaper in other formats and I have to say that the way women and excessive violence have been shown in other books is kinda turning me off the whole thing.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-67993793374982557102011-10-23T02:11:52.122-05:002011-10-23T02:11:52.122-05:00I'm in agreement, Jake.

Its been hard as a longtime DC fan to process what I'm going to do here in the next few months with what's been my major hobby for years.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-7506478773103455042011-10-22T21:20:40.236-05:002011-10-22T21:20:40.236-05:00Sorry.

Just more of the same. I think your observation in another post about the 90sfication of many of DCs new books is an accurate one. It's too bad. I didn't want to believe it, but comics days may well be numbered.Jake Shorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124378230594689452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-12745078227677404392011-10-22T16:00:09.289-05:002011-10-22T16:00:09.289-05:00I was very impressed with his work on Dynamo 5 whe...I was very impressed with his work on Dynamo 5 where he had to draw a team book with each of the 5 kids having a distinct body type. A couple of the panels I saw in this book seemed really rushed. He really is a great artist and I expect that he'll only get better on this title.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-80186514543007206692011-10-22T12:00:06.358-05:002011-10-22T12:00:06.358-05:00Yeah, this is the first time I've learned who ...Yeah, this is the first time I've learned who Asrar is, and I'm not blown away. He's got "motion" down pretty well, but as far as feeling like this is new or different or particularly well-crafted... not so much.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-90522831130019673532011-10-21T15:10:13.650-05:002011-10-21T15:10:13.650-05:00I went into my LCS to pre-pay for my books this we...I went into my LCS to pre-pay for my books this week and while a guys was keeping John busy talking about MtG cards I was flipping through this issue. While I usually like Asrar's art it didn't really speak to me in this case as it was a bit "scratchy". Also, there were a couple of panels in there where Supergirl's waist was all out of proportion. Not a good issue from what I could see.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.com
