Cliché for the Day: Marvel vs. DC

<< < (5/8) > >>

JediBendu:
I didn't read Crime Bible, but I did pick up the first issue Rann-Thanagar Holy War on Wednesday, and it's actually piqued my interest. There's some 52 characters doing something.

Speaking of things I picked up Wednesday. Did anyone else read the first issue of House of Mystery? I thought it was fantastic.

volatile:
I'm a Marvel girl, for a lot of the reasons that others have stated.  But also, I generally find their characters to be a bit more nuanced and real, and I love how they mix all over the place.


Also, I'm playing a lot of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance right now, and I love it.

JediBendu:
So Final Crisis just started and it's looking to be pretty cool, though I have to say there wasn't really anything in the first issue that really wowed me that much (save for the big death, which mostly just made me sad.) R.I.P. is pretty good so far as well, though it hasn't been as fun to read for me in the first two issues as I was hoping.

Also, Obsessions, you were right, I've begun reading Thor and am enjoying it thoroughly.

0bsessions:
I thought Final Crisis #1 was the absolute epitome of mediocrity. It just kind of crawled the whole time, the death was completely pointless and anticlimactic and there was really no hook. I'll consider getting the second issue and base my desire to stick around on that one, but a rather poor start.

JediBendu:
Agreed. There was very little to get excited about in that first issue. None of the beginnings to the plot threads really got me all that interested, my favorite moment was probably the Darkseid beat, and that was just about it. The Question beat near the beginning somewhat annoyed me as well, but I think that may be more because of a slight continuity mistake in the art that jumped at me than anything else. Everything else was kind of forgettable. I realize I should be more interested in what Libra's trying to do, but I find myself not caring at the moment. And while the death was unexpected and shocking in a way, I will agree that it was anticlimactic and unneeded. I don't think that's any way to execute the death of such a big character, in any medium.
