Comic Book People:

Am I the only person who's stopped reading POWERS and DMZ because they've really been boring the piss out of me?

I mean, yeah, I know that COUNTDOWN sucks ass and readership drops with EVERY WEEKLY ISSUE, but what about these "big name" comics?

More comic stuff later.

Stopped reading powers after the first Icon issue. Stopped buying after the second.

Never read DMZ.

Checkmate is my favorite DC comic at the moment, but nothing lately (and I just spent over a $100 at the comic book shop clearing out my backlogged saver box) has struck me as "MUST READ!"

On your icon:OMG, Batman...you dick.

Not saying it isn't TRUE but...WOW. I just wouldn't have the bizalls to say that to a guy who can flick a booger at me from outer space and take away my ability to reproduce. But then again, doesn't Bats have a chunk of kryptonite "just in case"?

NOTE:ar901 wears a superman logo tshirt under his dress shirt and tie for a boost in confidence at brokerage meetings.

That was one of the best and heartbreaking scenes from Infinite Crisis with Bruce, Clark and Diana.

NB - I have a batcave that has a plastic dinosaur from the shed museum, a canadian toonie, batman mini-mates that I pose, and a mac laptop with two screens.

DMZ started SO FUCKING HARD, just like POWERS.

Regrettably, both feel like they're drifting aimlessly these days, POWERS in particular. Remember when there were storylines in that book? When 22 pages seemed like 22 pages, not 11?

Writing for the trades killed these series. They should stop lying with monthlies, and just publish 96 page books every 4 months.
