NCAA basketball < NBA x 1,000,000

Fixed. NCAA Basketball - Slightly better than the WNBA.

Final crisis has great art too. I think you should go buy it, weakling.

i DID buy FC. the art ain't that fucking great.

almost as LUTZ-inducing as Twigg's claim that bendis writes good dialogue.

I like Loeb's Hulk

It's insane and makes no sense, but it has cool art and it's fun.

You've been saying this for a long time, and I've been agreeing with you for a long time. It's fast moving and action packed, and it features great guest appearances: Iron Man, She Hulk, Namor, Thing, Thor, Gray Hulk, and so many others. What I love is that it references so many parts of the Marvel Universe so frivilously. When I was a kid, I loved nothing better than guest appearances, unusual team-ups, and surprise villains. Rulk incorporates all these elements. That's what I love about it.

:shock:

well, it isn't. Jones's work started noticably declining after issue 2 (and i didn't think he was that great to start with; JG does gorgeous covers, but his full-on interiors are much more pedestrian), then we got the artist jam free-for-all for 4-6, then Mhnke + a cast of a thousand inkers for issue 7.

that shit just never looked that great.

As someone who's bought Devin Grayson's whole run, bought and enjoyed the Red Hulk story, bought all of the issues to Final Crisis, lives in Mississippi, is a lawyer, and probably has done more crimes against taste and humanity, how do you sleep at night?

To make up for the damage that merely talking about Loeb's Hulk is doing to me, I am now going to read Roy Thomas and Neal Adams' Avengers run.

I love the unpredictable nature of the book.

You really don't know what to expect because its so insane. There are really very few books I can say that about.

My problem with Loeb is he can't do a book with out cramming in umpteen billion guest stars or villains. Every book is about how much cool shit can I throw in to cover up my awful story.

That's a great point.

However, when its all said and done, you end up with a book full of cool shit.

You can cover a pile of crap with chocolate sauce and whipped cream but that don't make it ice cream.

Which is exactly what Superman/Batman was. But man, he makes his shit looks good. Art Adams drawing the Las Vegas strip is something awesome, especially if you throw in the stupidity of a pack of Weindigos into the mix. And Cho's work in this book far surpasses what he did in Mighty Avengers
