There was a six issue build-up to a confrontation and fight that literally began and ended with one punch and then see the bad guy just vanish into thin air. That's bullshit! Yeah, you're right, if I waited six GD months for a story it better have more than one effing punch!

That's pretty much it. With comic book prices being what they are and eight million titles out there, my broke ass cannot get everything comic he somewhat wants. I can only get the stuff I really, really want. When compared to Criminal, Captain America, and Blue Beetle, Justice doesn't cut it.

then i'm telling you, you absolutely should not have given up on IIF, because that's all the second arc was. it was a goddamn kung fu tournament, for Christ's sake! think Mortal Kombat, but well-written. :-D ;-)

Yeah sadly our new young x-men are too gullible to realize this.

I wish GeNext was ongoing and Young X-Men was a mini.. GeNext is definitely the better of the two.

I'm only reading new exiles (I have no clue why anymore) when it comes to claremont.

And that was the only predictable thing the whole time so far. That and the fact you could tell that the old new mutants weren't evil.

I thought Justice was decent, but then it went a bit wonky half way through with those suits and it never really recovered for me.

I still enjoyed the series, but I have to agree that the suits were a "WTF" moment.

It seemed more like product placement (more action figs!) than anything.
