Loeb's X-Sanction

Postby Eli Katz » Tue Jan 17, 2012 3:40 pm

So, I read the first issue of this last night. It was a quick, almost-mindless read. But I liked it. This is the kind of comic I would have loved as a ten-year-old. And it was fun indulging in this story to capture, for about ten minutes, that childish glee. So screw it, haterz, I'm a Loeb fan.

Please feel free to make fun of me more than usual.

even as a fan of Loeb's Hulk run, X-Sanction is shit. just terrible comics.

It has no story, or almost no story. But I don't think it's "terrible" -- it's just pointless punching, as far as I can tell. And sometimes pointless punching is worth a few bucks.

no story, true, but it does have dialogue. and that dialogue is TURRIBLE.

I see pink, green, and blue.

You can't link images from Rich Johnston, you know.

But, you have put the fail icing on the fail cake now.

Same. I felt a little dumber after reading it, but it was fun.

I read it so quickly that I barely noticed anything but the sound effects. The final "BANG" at the end was really moving.

I can't believe that despite sucking, I somehow ending up buying Loeb's shit cause it's usually attached to something I want to read later.

As someone who avoids most cakes because of their dairy products, that makes me happy.
