So yeah. Comic Books.

The fanfic is still happening although he's apparently pissed I said Future Goku is better than Supreme Kai plot-wise. Buuut whatever I'll send him a draft and that may convince him.
In recent news for me comic-wise I finally sighed and read the JSA DC New 52 reboot, Earth 2. I don't care that Alan Scott was remade into a homosexual. I do care that Jay Garrick's outfit, while it isn't as bad as some of the other rebooted hero outfits (how many heroes need that glowing effect, seriously?), I still miss his simple look. So apparently this Earth 2 may not have Hourman or Wildcat.
Or Starman. Or Spectre. Or Doctor Fate. Or Atom.
Highly doubt JJ Thunder and Stargirl are going to be in it if those stars aren't.
Modern day is boring compared to the WWII start of the JSA. Honestly. Most of these reboots are annoying me. Mostly because I feel like it'd be better to treat THE NEW 52 as the Ultimate Universe for DC but NOOOO. That's too hard or something. Elvis would probably be annoyed with how they portrayed his favorite comic book character.
Also the Teen Titans having Tim Drake make out with Solstice and then presumably having sex with Wonder Girl because Raven apparently told him to do it. Or Trigon. And then a volume later Trigon appears at the end and Beast Boy and Raven end up joining the Teen Titans because Raven apparently felt like following in her own footsteps and recruiting a bunch of teens to fight Trigon. Beast Boy on the other hand watched all the Ravagers "die" and snapped basically taking down Deathstroke. Then you find out all the Ravagers were just teleported back to their base, and all my joy at seeing the Chief die before he could fuck up a bunch of people's lives was ruined. All Beast Boy does is choke out Psimon.
Then Black Adam's origin is rebooted into what the flying fuck.
Whomever does the art for Justice League and/or the Shazam! story. Why do you draw Captain Marvel (or I guess "Shazam"), Black Adam (in human and hero form) as if someone slapped shit on their face? Billy as The Big Red Cheese is supposed to look like Cary Grant or Fred MacMurry. Of course the issue of Billy being much weaker in the new 52 gets on my nerves but. Hopefully he gets the powers of the Gods. Or everyone is weaker in the new 52.
Ain't this a load of horse shit.

its just a bunch of Chris Claremont clones, same tired old formula and its getting stale.
the new 52 does not look any different. I am about to read the 52 Swamp Thing god help them if they decide to make the Green some politically correct symbol/statement just to satisfy the perceptions of the frightened flock. and them messing with the big red cheese definitely not cool. I am all for an awesome story arc and loved the whole brightest day and saga of the black lantern arc but now a days to many hands in the pot and its starting to get crazy
