COMIC REPORT

thehefnerValerie D'Orazio comments on Bendis' misuse of Dr. Doom... with the help of Picard and Ryu. Yes, that pretty well sums it up, doesn't it?
Which reminds me... SECRET INVASION: Ugh. Goddammit, Bendis.
And while we're at it--COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS: What the fuck. Seriously. What the fuck. That's all.
Teaser poster(s) released for Frank Miller's THE SPIRIT. Note that I didn't call it "Frank Miller's take on Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT." Maybe it's just Lionsgate's marketing people who want to make this look like SIN CITY 2, or if that's Miller's bright idea. Dang it, I know Miller is deeply and sincerely dedicated to this film, passionate about his intent to honor Eisner, but it's damn-near-impossible enough for anyone to be Will Eisner (except Alan Moore, with his GREYSHIRT stories), much less Mr. WHORESWHORESWHORES himself.
Someone suggested these posters would work better for a Frank Miller SHADOW film, and I have to admit, the idea is intriguing.
I really, really wish I had and could just read the current WALKING DEAD storyline in one complete trade paperback. Because five months of these past issues, culminating with the one that came out yesterday... I'm just depressed. I read it in the store, then thought about it again a couple hours later, and felt sad all the rest of that evening. And they're not even done with this particular chapter yet.
But let's end all this on a happy note. Namely, how goddamn awesome was that Superman/Legion of Superheroes story in ACTION COMICS?! After years of trying and failing to really get into the Legion, not to mention years of struggling to find stories that showcase just how goddamn awesome Superman is (or potentially *should* be), Geoff Johns and Gary Frank have delivered an utterly ass-kicking superhero epic that reveals the glorious inspiring asskickery of both.
I am SO buying this hardcore when the collection comes out. Even if it's hardcover.
Between Johns' work on ACTION COMICS and Morrison's ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, it's so refreshing to truly have comics worthy of the character. It's all part of my mad, glorious mission to convert the masses out there who dislike characters such as Superman, Hal Jordan, Scott Summers, and even the Joker. Odd company, that.
