Catching up since I can post again

18 Mistakes Of DC Reboot:
I been harsh on DC since the reboot and to me for good reason.  DC keeps making it easy to be hard on them all the time and harder to continue read even the books I like.  So here is my 18 mistakes of DC reboot.
18. What is in continuity and what is not.  Seriously dc can't even make up there mind what is and what isn't.  Depends on who you ask and at what time.
17. DC Reboot Wonder Woman.  Seriously WTF?  From a ugly color scheme to the fact that she more of angry amazon then she ever was.  To new origin that makes me wish her mother was rapped.  To gods redesign being ugly.
16. Mixed messages when comes to sexiness in DCU.  Female costumes became less sexy unless you were villain or Wonder Woman or Starfire.  So instead characters actions are over sexed.  Stuff like Catwoman/Batman scene from Catwoman #1 and Starfire from Red Hood and Outlaws.
15. Suicide Squad is not a good replacement for Secret Six.  DC said after reboot that it was but it's no where near as good.
14. Static Shock mess.  I couldn't go fully into the mess that was creatively behind the scene but this book was mishandled.  There was a ton of problems behind the scenes which obviously led to wrong direction for character and book canceled.
13. Original Legion Of Super Heroes continue.  I am not fan of the original as much as I am Zero Hour version and well being stuck what still feels like middle of story still doesn't help.
12. Rob Liefield.  I'm not a hater as much as anyone but they continue to give this guy work despite the fact that he keeps killing any series he works on.
11. Curse Of Shazam.  Okay this maybe jumping the gun but Geoff Johns and dc have decided to change the Captain Marvel's name to Shazam (DC should try to get name back).  This guy wrote Black Adam better and even forced Billy to leave JSA because he was in relationship with Stargirl.  Wait if he just said the truth about his age then and that were same age then it wouldn't a problem.  That was dumb.  Oh yeah and Johns solution to Mary being evil?  Turn billy evil and then have both of them lose there powers.  Yeah I'm suppose to have confidence in back up that also changes CM's costume.  Why?
10. JSA/Earth 2.  I am not of fan of the whole JSA being put back on earth 2.  Well we may not even really get this.  Who knows anymore but JSA miss use it's own is bad post reboot.
9. Bad characters and ideas getting chance in spotlight.  Why waste the paper?  I, Vampire, Frankstein, OMAC, Batwing, Men Of War, Damien etc.  How many great characters were not being used for them?
8. Superboy.  Pre Reboot fan favorite character that had spent years before death and after return as great character.  In his own book, Young Justice, Teen Titans, Superman.  Post reboot?  Annoying emo like character that has undone everything great about the character.  One of the worst book of the reboot that just waiting for something to break out and start to see real Superboy.  No we get a version of Young Justice cartoon Superboy but has been set free of people who made him.  Which works for cartoon but not really the comics.  Christmas issue he sets fire to Rockefeller center Christmas tree.  WTF?
7. Teen Titans.  From the continue use of bad costumes (tron anyone with the upcoming new ones) to just horrible new characters.  One guy I swear seems to be stereotypical gay character as you can get.  The writer trying to say by the way this character gay.  Wonder Girl WTF?  She should have been called Red Ridding Thief now.
6. Wildstorm Universe being put into DCU.  They have done it so horribly.  From Authority being demoted back to stormwatch to two wildcats solo books instead of one to horrible use of Fairchild in Superboy.
5. Horrible costumes.  Jim Lee is a great artist when he wants to draw but can't design costumes.  Nothing new if you look at Wild Cats costumes back in the day they were exactly the greatest.  Seemingly took the worst designs they could come up with and went with them.
4. Marriages being like disease.  Seriously I don't think marriage exists anymore in the Reboot DCU.  If you were married in DCU pre reboot sorry.  Even Apollo/Midnight who DC/Wildstorm was praised for and writer said they will get back together.  Yeah right.  I will believe that when I hear it has happen.  Flash, Superman, and everyone else poof no longer married.
3. Reboot Superman.  No marriage.  Grant Morrison seemingly to me wanting to do his version of Smallville's later seasons.  Absolutely the worst costumes for superman ever.  Electric ones were better.  One cover to Action Comics in May makes Braniac's shadow look like Hentai Monster.
2. Missing and miss use of characters  From Wally West to Donna Troy to Shazam Family reboot had to many good characters missing while we had to put with the lame characters.  People come up with lame excuse of Wally can't fit into the new reboot.  If barry been doing this for at least 5 years then he could have had Wally a kid Flash and then he retired.  Got married and had kids.  Could have explained it that.  I came up with that in a few minutes.  Where stephanie brown?  Why Power Girl up till may regulated to very minor character in Mister Terrific?  Raven and Beast boy so far just appear splash page in TT #1.  That was until a red Beast Boy appears in Ravagers?  WTF?  I could go into PG thing in it's own spot but no room.
1. Reboot itself.  I could do 15 reasons why it should never happen but didn't find a place for it on the list.  It just didn't work and DC got the numbers in first couple of months and still top 10.  The problem is sales numbers of have come back down and that like being best team in worst division in sports.  If they had hyped it as much without a reboot and with better stuff then this may have worked.  Get back to what brought fans into comic books first place.  Don't insult people's intelligence as the reboot does.

15 Things Currently Wrong With Marvel:
15. Current Incredible Hulk book.  Just the whole Hulk vs Banner split fight again just nothing a lot new.  Just stupid.
14. Punisher.  Oh Punisher what have they done to you.
13. Flash Thompson as Venom.  Why?  Of all the stupid of stupid things you could come up with.
12. Alternate covers.  A few years ago this would have been higher on the list but marvel doesn't do this as much as they use to.  They still do these lame alternate covers months every once in a while.
11. Future Foundation costumes.  WTF?  They are the most bland and ugly costumes for FF ever.  Hopefully they will be gotten ride of.
10. To many books for a character.  I know sometimes you want to tie into a movie but or popular character but did Deadpool really need 5 books?  I like the character but was overkill.  Thor, Captain America, Iron Man books that have flooded the market have been way to many.  Then there is wolverine.  Yeah all his books and books he appear in.  Enough said.
9. Death being a joke.  DC was at fault for this to but seems to have pulled back a bit on it.  Marvel continues to make death a joke where characters don't even stay dead for a month or two anymore.  You are trying to make money with a big death but the impact isn't there anymore.  People know that most characters will come back sooner or later.
8. Lateness of books.  I got to give DC one thing only one book since reboot has been late.  Marvel continues to fail at getting books out on time.  How do tpbs come out late?
7. Crossovers.  There have been way to many of them in recent years from Marvel.  From big over bloated ones to smaller ones.  People are tired of them and why even though they may still sell the number that do have been shrinking.  Maybe a clue as to the fact fans are tired of them.  Don't call it editoral event or crossover event or event.  It's a crossover.  Your not fooling anyone.
6. The fact that OMD hasn't been undone yet.  I have not bought a regular MU Spider-Man book since OMD and the only one I will buy will be because of She-Hulk being in it.  I have no interest in what they have done to spidey and his villains.
5. Use of Kitty Pryde.  Now being killed from inside by millions of brood.  Why?  Do the writers of the x-books hate this character this much that they can't stop doing bad things to her.  Being shot in space.  Stuck in dumb looking space armor.  Split up with Colossus for stupid reasons.  Now this.
4. Avengers.  See my rant on Bendis' run.  This may change when Bendis leave but I'm not holding my breath.
3. Half of the X-Men books.  This would have been all of the books but there was before Wolverine took half the x-men back to where the belong on east coast.  I was against the whole move to San Francisco and pretty much was when I stopped reading X-Men.  Well you got Colossus pretending to be juggernaught.  Jublie a vampire.  Hope being useless as supposed savior of mutants.  How could you trust cyclops anymore after pretty much bringing them to death trap where nothing good has happen since moving to the island.  If I was x-man I leave the moment Wolverine said he was reopening the school.
2. 3.99 price tags for regular book.  They don't seem to learn that people don't like when they do that and that most fans can't afford that price.  You want less people buying you books put more books at 3.99.  A lot people can't afford the 2.99 price tags either.  Even worse they skimp on some of the books with story being shorter then normal.
1. Marvel's use of real She-Hulk Jennifer Walters.  I am a big fan of She-Hulk and even though she seems to be making a come back in may come june she probably won't be in any books again.  Lyra and Betty get more use in books lately other her short appearences in FF.  The problem goes back to use Hulk.  When Peter David was writing her book Jeph Loeb was using her a punching bag.  After her book the way she was used in hulk books was criminal at times.  From 6 months to year not disappeared and then seemingly to be dead or crazy red she-hullk.  Then after the horrible World War Hulks she spends most of battles in Incredible Hulk doing nothing.  Standing around or just getting punched or not even used.  Then Chaos War she doesn't even appear in the final issue even though she went with all the other hulks.  Then depowered in Greg Pak's last story arc on Incredible Hulk and was suppose to have defining moment that never happen.  Then just disappears from anything other then Fanstatic Four with Betty taking what should be her spot in Defenders.  Betty wasn't a she-hulk then she be the one bruce have them help the team.  I can even go back to the fact Avengers Dissembled garbage.  Marvel should be ashamed of themselves for how they have treated one of there most popular female characters.

The 10 Worst Crossovers Of Last Decade:
You can call whatever you want.  Crossovers or events or editorial events but they are all the same.  Over the last decade we have seen some of the worst and most over bloated crossovers.  Ones that make the 90s ones tame.  Here my list of what I think are 10 worst ones from last 10 years.
10. Chaos War.  I know this seems weird to be on the list but this wasn't a bad mini crossover.  The problem comes in a poorly done  final issue featuring characters that are suppose to at final fight missing.  Plus you have Hercules losing his powers (which I think was a editorial mandate) and Alpha Flight being the only characters coming back.  Editorial mandate that Yellow Jacket and Swordsman were not allowed to come back.  Dumb!  :(
9. Amazon Attacks.  Can't really say more then what been said by Linkara in his video but this was awful that ruined Amazons, the gods, Wonder Woman mythos.
8. Dark Reign.  Really bad idea to darken marvel even more with Green Goblin in charge.  Yeah that was dumb.
7. Spider-Island.  Dumb idea that is poor done  with lame tie ins.  Spider Herc?  Oy!  Also points off for not having Mary Jane keep her powers at the end.
6. World War Hulks.  How to you take concept of being a hulk and making joke out of it?  By making a ton of stupid looking hulks including fellow heroes.  Lame idea, bad writing, and really only saves it at any point is last two of Savage She-Hulks mini-series.
5. Secret Invasion.  Skrulls having replaced the heroes over time?  Pretty good idea and way to fix Civil War and some other bad ideas from marvel over the years.  Did they do that?  Did they reveal that the one who came up with law behind Civil War was written by a skrull?  Nope.  Did they fix beast back to classic version?  Nope.  Bendis said that he actually like Morrison version.  Yeah more people at marvel agree with that one then fans.  Well they did bring back Mockingbird which was good but marvel miss use of her and Hawkeye hasn't been.  Bendis made the badass Spider-Woman been skrull the whole time.  Why?  Why?
4. Final Crisis.  What happens if you try read a book and there pages missing.  Like they been ripped out.  That sort like what trying to read Final Crisis is.  Dumb idea stuff never explained.  Bad writing from Grant Morrison.  Why did Mary Marvel have to be evil and her costume like a prostitute? 
3. Civil War.  Boring, to long, and predictable lame ending.  Could have gone a different way but nope.  When you start with New Warriors being killed and blamed for everything.  Just lame and insults the fans.
2. Blackest Night.  High body count.  Awful idea.  Marvel Zombies was a cool idea because it's not in regular marvel universe.  This doesn't work because it continued to kill characters just to kill them.  In the end brought back the wrong people.  No ted kord or some other characters that were really killed just to do it.  Really people wanted osiris to be brought back.
1. Countdown.  Wait countdown?  It's horrible 52 issue mini-series.  Yeah but has so many crossover/tie in books that pretty much it could be consider one.  If you seen Linkara's review this was a pretty bad one.  The tie in books were pretty bad.  Death Of New Gods was just excuse to kill off New Gods to set up Grant Morrison's Fifth World but that never happen.  There amazons attack which was horrible.  I could go into rant on messing Mary Marvel up just for Grant Morrison.

Top 11 Favorite Books Of Last Decade:
I'm re posting this because I forget one huge book and I changed a spoiler.  So far I been really harsh on marvel and dc.  To me for pretty good reason.  Also the reason I been reading less and less of main companies books.  In last decade there have been some really good books and here are the 10 I really enjoyed the most.
11. Walking Dead.  I was a huge fan of this series.  A new take on zombie apocalypse.  Robert Kirkman hit all the right buttons.  Created a batch of characters we cared about and greatly translated to TV screen AMC.  Series lost me though when they killed a very major character.  That really made me mad.
10. Loners.  What happens to a bunch of heroes after they stop being heroes.  Loners featured a group of heroes struggling to live normal lives.  Really enjoyable look at heroes version of what you see some teen actors go through.  Really enjoyable look at minor characters too that hadn't gotten much of spotlight years.  What can I say darkhawk was a favorite series of mine in 90s.
9. DMZ.  This would have higher but sometimes strange choices and the way story went kept it back.  Really a good story about what would happen if another civil war was fought in USA.
8. Invincible.  I almost forget this one rushing to finish this last night.  Robert Kirkman proves he is a great writer again tackling super heroes.  Teen struggling with super powers, school, love and betrayal that shocking hits so close to home.  As times has gone I haven't always agreed with how things have gone and I'm not sure about this new Invincible.  I hate when characters I like get replaced.  Really what kept it down is like the whole in space arc to long and well Kirkman problems getting this book out on time.  I mean there was time when he said that we will get this and Walking Dead out on time.  That last a couple of months.  Maybe the book will right itself and new invincible thing won't last long.
7. Runaways.  A bunch of young kids find out there parents are super villains.  What do they do?  Steal stuff from them and run away from the problem.  After beating there parents it become enjoyable book about kids discovering who they are.  One of the most original books Marvel has come up with in recent years.  I rather read them again in regular book I guess avengers academy will do then nothing.
6. Spider-Girl.  Not the arana one.  The real one that came from What If issue.  Spider-Man daughter stories were amazing well written dealing school, heroics, love, parents that don't want you to be Spider-Girl.  Yes series started in 1999 but ran through most of the decade.  Sad that this book isn't still going and someone else had her name.
5. Y The Last Man.  You think being last man on earth with a ton of woman would sexual paradise for that guy but not for Yorick Brown.  In one of the most original and awesome books of the last decade  Yorick journey across a world devesated by a mysterious plague draws the reader in.  Just sad had to end but really ending didn't much either.
4. Stephanie Brown's Batgirl series.  If Barbara returning as Batgirl was little scary well anyone remember the fans fist thoughts to Spoiler taking over Cassandra Cain.  There was huge backlash at first and series came out.   What we got is a well written series of Stephanie struggling to balance college and super heroes.  Also at times trying to prove she belongs not just batgirl but heroine and hiding the whole thing from her mother.  Sad that this book was canceled with reboot like Secret Six and stephanie still MIA.  Batman Inc appearance doesn't count since the story was pre reboot.
3. Gail Simone's run on Birds Of Prey, Secret Six, Wonder Woman, Batgirl.  From Birds Of Prey to Secret Six to Wonder Woman to even her current run on Batgirl.  It's very hard to pick one book so I chose the four of them.  From great team dynamic of BOP to taking a bunch of B level villains and making readers care by making them interesting.  Her wonder woman was so good it's makes JMS run, current book, Amazon Attacks all look amateurish in comparison.  Batgirl went from a book I didn't want to like but tried.  Now one of my favorite books thanks to vulnerable Barbara struggling to get back into being a hero,  Taking us on her journey to working through the fears and pains of returning after being shot by joker.  Looking forward to where this goes. 
2. Power Girl.  I'm huge fan of strong heroines well PG wasn't just strong.  Gorgeous artwork and great writing that fleshed out the character made this fun read every month it's early issues.  When creative team changed it was still enjoyable though the whole Max Lord stealing causing the company go bankrupt went to long.  Sad that she been pretty forgotten other then regulated to ex girlfriend of Mr. Terrific till World's Finest at least they kept the Star business from comic.
1. She-Hulk.  Dan Slott and Peter David's runs on the book were excellent.  Dan Slott enjoyable mix of super heroes and lawler stuff.  David later run bring the action back to the character that fans demand but I did miss lawyer stuff.  Really better then way she was written at the time in Hulk though.

My Top 11 Internet Reviewers:
11. SF Debris.  Him and Nash really helped me get into classic doctor who.  Being able to look where to start as he done videos on that.  Plus who's who of doctor who and great look at missing episodes.  Plus whole thing on how the episodes are missing what happen to them.  Also does some fun reviews of Star Trek and other sci-fi shows.
10. Derek The Bard.  I really like his reviews because there are few out there that look at comically at books as he does.  Plus he gets a bonus in my book for loving Atomic Robo.  He did remind me of a book I been meaning to get for a while.
9. Phill from The Bunny Perspective.  What can I say there isn't anything like watching a review of movies and anime (sometimes) from puppets perspective.  He is funny and enjoyable to watch.
8. Video Games Awesome.  It is fun to watch them play and review the games live, on blip, or youtube.  Help them out and hey if you are in chat your comments on the show sometimes.
7. JewWario.  I love look at import games and not just.  He tries to help you find way play on it your system.  I love the fact branching out to Kamen Rider movies and stuff like that.
6. Phelous.  Even though I disagree with him turtles forever but love his look at bad horror movies.  Hey he doesn't even have problem making fun of his own Mortal Komedy.  When you look back at Lost and the Man In Black like he did he has a point about it.
5. Cinema Snob.  I just love watching his tearing apart some of the worst trash in cinema.  Though I have to keep sound down on some videos.  I hate to hear someone I live with some of noises from the movies he reviews.
4. Obscurus Lupa.  From Howling series to Subspecies series to even We Wish A Turtle christmas (which I didn't even know existed to her review).  I just love her videos.  From stupid action to stupid horror to whatever.  April fools star wars: a new hope was great.  Scott Shaw be damned.
3. Nostalgia Critic.  What can I say as the guy the site That Guy With The Glasses is named is very funny.  Even if you agree with him or not always finds ways to entertain.
2. Nash.  Why Radio Dead Air?  Well his Doctor Who review are fun well WTFIWWY is one of the funniest shows I watch weekly.  Oh heck despite chat not loading for me right I still watch live edition ever week.  Oh heck he introduced me to Derek The Bard videos as he showed them from time to time.
1. Linakara.  I am a huge comic book fan and always nice to find someone who comics that hates One More Day as I do.  Someone also who hates some of things marvel and dc do as I do.  Well we might not always agree on books but story lines are fun and well references to Doctor Who, Pokemon, Star Trek make me geek out.
