The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

I was serious about the Pak thing as well, he was able to really use it to give Herc far more depth. Rucka didn't really do that at all except in The Hiketia.

meh, i love Incredible Herc, but while it told great fun stories, i wouldn't say it did much to give Herc any more depth than he already had. if you read any of Layton's minis, or any number of other Herc appearances over the years for that matter, that depth has always been there. PakLente did far more for Amadeus than they did for Herc.

That was obviously Van Lente because everything Pak has written on his own sucks.

Magneto: Testament completely blows that theory out of the water.

I just couldn't take anything he did seriously after I read that.

I also thought it was really weird that he kept trying to hook up with one of the other characters.

Bull on girl action, not so aweome

Hab

but not unprecedented in the very mythology you claim Rucka didn't use well. see: Zeus.

I don't know what specifically you're referring too?

Well it certainly makes the characters less sympathetic. Who's gonna wanna root for a group of genocidal Amazons?

Meh, I was never really a fan of them to begin with. I was actually quite delighted when Hera turned them all into snakes after she discovered Hippolyta's betrayal. Does that make me a bad person?

it's not genocide, it's just murder

Murder based on gender it seems

Zeus used to fuck chicks as a bull.

I'm sure DC Women Kicking Ass would complain about that too if it ever came up.

bull on girl action. Zeus himself raped/seduced Europa in the form of a bull.

[Timbales]

based on getting rid of witnesses, men being a victim. They weren't out to kill all men.

Gendercide!

[Benderbrau]

Gendercide!

That's what I meant to type.

I don't read the title and it probably makes the book more interesting. However, I find NuDCU in general is filled with "less likable" characters. My opinion of course.
