The whole mutant thing they've been moving to wasn't much of a surprise either; it’s something that’s been recognisably wrong for a while. The whole Hawkeye thing managed to get sand in my vagina too, so the guy dies and then comes back, but he dies again essentially because he isn’t any good at tetris. <BR/><BR/>Infinite Crisis is to me the better of the two, the whole things happening in the real universe so any changes are going to be around afterwards, you’d think by now Marvel would push the boat out and do a big crossover that isn’t in a ‘different universe’. I love what DC has been doing, luckily the whole thing built as I’ve been reading comics so I haven’t missed out on much, might have to go back and read the original crisis though. I only followed OMAC and Villains United, out of the four, for the past 6 months and it still hasn’t interfered with my enjoyment of the story. The small beef I’ve got with DC is why they haven’t released a list of all the issues that were involved in the story, I mean come on marvel did it on a door hang for gods sake.<BR/><BR/>But my major beef with DC is what they're doing to my characters, I came into comics reading Hush and I fell for those characters. Yet now the im-an-asshole-Batman I love is going to go through the crisis and change. I know that loads of other fans want him to be a little lighter but this is the Batman I’ve been following and I want him to be just as cynical when the crisis is over, I just hope it’s handled well. But I’m all for the fixing of Superman, that line from Batman in Infinite Crisis sure put a smile on my face. The X-Men change is deserved though, the mutant thing needs to be put back into its box, just hope my favourites make the cut. <BR/><BR/>So I guess I hate the way House of M has been told, but I love what they’ve done to the X-Men situation. Yet I love the way the new crisis has been handled, I’m just pensive about what the characters will be like when they come out on the other side, but I guess that’s just how they want me.<BR/><BR/>…and there's my two cents.<BR/>So what are your feels about them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11322309.post-1129630777607250462005-10-18T10:19:00.000+00:002005-10-18T10:19:00.000+00:00Ha, what do you think?Ha, what do you think?Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963182925163169154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11322309.post-1129495058906833842005-10-16T20:37:00.000+00:002005-10-16T20:37:00.000+00:00So we going to hear your two cents about the Infin...So we going to hear your two cents about the Infinite Crisis and House of M (once its done)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
