I liked this, this new world is ripe with storytelling possibilities, and there's lots of mysteries set up. I particularly liked the take on the Spirit, I'll be checking out that ongoing for sure, and probably Doc Savage too.

This is based on the fact that X-Men Forever is the most perfect comic of all time, and therefore represents the highest possible grade on the scale.

can we vote to kick jude out for this confusing bullshit? :lol:

Not that I can remember. You just refuse to review books out of spite.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye.."

Asking Trump to be President is like asking a zombie for a rim job.

My refusal to review Teen Titans and X-Men Forever was not done of spite, but out of love, I refuse to lower your averages!

So you didn't join your friends in reading books that you felt you wouldn't care for because you love us?

You'd have been more pissed off if I did review it and slated it.

I'm not actually pissed off about anyone who read the book and gave it a bad review. I'm more pissed off that people, even people who hadn't read an XMF comic, already decided they hated it before reading it, and either refused to give it a try or allowed their bias to cloud their review. If you don't like something, you don't like it. But I thought the purpose of this was to try books you wouldn't normally read with an open mind. XMF is the first book in a long time in here that I was reading anyway, and didn't get specifically for the group.
