Join us for some fun and laughs.
looks like the dc train took a detour to the x-men station this week 😉
Good episode! Thanks to your reviews I'm keeping up with Brightest day.
That JSA story sounds really good, I'm waiting for the trade.
Love the soundeffect for Aquaman's power 🙂
Just one question to Keith…Why did you give those gifts to your father in law?
Another awesome episode. I listen to this episode and the last one in one sitting. It was awesome. Mike you really made me wanna go out and buy all of the single issues of the Fatherland storyline. but am gona wait for it in the Trades like Monica. Brightest night so far is awesome even if am only two issues now. I gotta wait for my first DCBS shippment.
@Keith- am so getting the New "old" Teen Titans: Games trade. It looks awesome. Am so ordering that.
@Mike- I felt the same way when Nightclawer died. When i saw how he died, i shouted out no like they do in movies when people die.
@badsoul Yeah, there are soooo many good comics out there, sometimes we have to make a few exta stops 😛
@Monica Between Brightest Day and JL:Generation Lost, I love having a conintuing story that can be read every week instead of wating a whole month. I remember getting him a fart machine (the kind you set somewhere and use a remote to set it off, a modern-day whoopie cushion!) one time becasue we were looking for things to get him and now it's become an every year thing, just a gag gift.
@Johnny That's awesome you've switched over to DCBS. It took me a long time, thinking about but when I did, I've noticed I can get more books for the same amount of money and who wouldn't want that? I'm glad they can send it to you over the pond as well because I know that was a concern of yours before. I loved that old Titans stuff and Perez's art looks amazing (as usual).
@Keith – Yeah, i have finally switched over to DCBS and its awesome. My first shippment came today and holy cow, i got a shit-load of comics. Even including the shipping charge, it still works out cheaper then getting comics from my local store. Am thinking of getting all of the old titans stuff from the 80's because i have heard nothing but good things about it, so with New Mutants. Did you hear the good news about the new new teen titans? But its kinda bad news at the same time.
@Johnny – Yeah. Raven, Starfire, Changeling (Beast Boy), Cyborg, Dick as Robin(then as Nightwing), etc. man, great stuff! I actually read the New Mutants back then also. I've always enjoyed team books because of the variety of personalities and how they interact.
@Keith- I can't wait to read it. Even if it's way before my time, i wanna get in to those old titles.
@Manticore (Keith)
a fart machine? I guess it's a tradition for you 😀
@badsoul – Have you checked out the X-men? Man there is some really good stuff going on.
@Monica – Fatherland is fantastic. It is so neat seeing the characters that we love in a situation where they do not have their powers and have to fight Nazis.
@Kyle I cried with Nightcrawler man. The BAMF BAMF. Wow.
@mike: my money only allow the involvement in one universe. So I'll be a dc exclusive for a while 😉
@Mike- It was emotional and his Funeral was epic. Wolverine was mega Pissed off.
I forgot something about Joker's Asylum II: The Riddler
Almost every panel from that comic represents a card.

I got some good news and some bad news for both Mike and Keith. Good New: Static is getting his own on-going series starting in 2011. Bad News: Felica Henderson is the writer. May god have mercy on Static's soul
@Johnny T Impulse (Kyle)
That sounds like bad news. I will still give it a few issues.
@Mónica
I still have yet to read these on shots. Maybe this weekend.
@badsoul
I totally understand. What books are you checking out these days?
@Mike
Well I am the biggest batman fan so I get everything Batman. Additionaly I am reading power girl, green lanter, green lantern corps, flash, rebels, power girl, justice league generation lost, brightest day, green arrow and I will be picking up J. T. Krul's Teen Titans and straczynski's superman.
By the way did you hear that J. T. Krul is including Damian in his teen titans run? I think thats awsome!
@badsoul
I have high hopes for JT Krul being on the Teen titans. Because his Green Arrow and Arsenal was awesome. But from the pictures i have seen, Static, AquaGirl, Miss Martian, Bombshell and Blue Beetle aint gona be a part of the team anymore
@badsoul
I did not hear that. That is awesome I can't get me enough of Damian.
@Kyle – I will be disappointed at losing Aquagirl and Blue Beetle.
@Johnny T Impulse (Kyle)
Yeah I like Krul's writing too. As for static, he's getting his own series so his absence from the team is acceptable. Blue Beetle is on the Justice League Generation Lost team, so thats ok too. As for the other characters, it is unfortunate to lose them but i have to admit that I like the new roster better than theold one.
@badsoul
Am just finishing the first Green Arrow and the last rise of Arsenal and from those issue i have faith in JT Krul. Am just glad Henderson is gonna be off the books but am scared for Static because she might mess up his character. But i know am still gona buy it. Am surely gonna miss Blue Beetle, Static and the others. I just hope they don't just dissappear like other characters do. Unless they split the Teen Titans up and have another east coast Titans. Oh they are gonna appear in other Titles like if Aquaman gets a new on going, Aquagirl might turn up there and if Martians Manhunter gets his own book, Megan might end up there. But i really cant wait for the old team to get back together. Tim Drake needs to be on that team as well
@ Johnny T Impulse (Kyle)
yeah I don't know why Henderson is given the opportunity to launch a new book after her rather bad work on teen titans.
But I hope that she learned something from her first work in comic. I hope we get to see her progress in term of her writing and pacing.
@badsoul
I will at least try it. Maybe she just struggles with team books.
Yes, that might be the reason. Am still gonna get the Static on going as am a huge fan of him and his cartoon. I just hope she doesnt give him the touch of death. I do hope Henderson becomes a better writer.
Just finished the Arsenal series. Man was that dark and it looks like they took him to a place like the Frank Castle is in.
@Mike
Yeah they took Arsenal to a very dark place. It would be interesting to see what they do with him now. Green arrow is getting a new series but we haven't heard where Arsenal will be showing up.
he is gonna be in Titans: villians for hire for he first arc. Hopefully we see him in the green arrow on going and becomes one of his merry men
@Johnny T Impulse (Kyle)
How can he become one of the Merry Men after doing what he did?
I do think Ollie will cut him some slack but not the law. It is going to be very hard to pull Roy back into being a true hero.
@Mike
Yeah, it would be really hard to bring him back but i really don't want him to become a villian villian. If he turns himself like Ollie did they may go easy on him as he has helped saved Star City and the World millions of times. Ollie has to forgive Roy, Roy is his son, well sort of.
@Johnny T Impulse (Kyle)
We will see what happens in Titans but I am thinking it will be tough for Roy to become a hero again.
@Mike
Very True. Unless he cames to term with the bad that he did and goes back to being good but that could take a number of years for that to happen
