Identity Crisis would be considered a high-point?

Identity Crisis was the low-point of my life

 

[ViewtifulJC]

EDIT: From Bleeding Cool this morning: Dan Didio celebrates one decade of being a DC Comics exec

In the article he lists the 10 "high points" of his tenure at DC. In chronological order they are:
-Batman #608, the "Hush" storyline by Loeb/Lee
-Identity Crisis by Meltzer/Morales
-Superman/Batman #8, the "Supergirl" storyline by Loeb/Turner
-Countdown to Infinite Crisis, the $1 anthology comic
-Superman: Earth One by Straczynski/Davis

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Well since we're coming up on the end of the month and some books I originally picked got Satchwar'd, I figure I'd post what the OT would have looked like sans bizarre editorial choices:

These are books involving female characters I have enjoyed over the years for various reasons.

Adventures of Red Sonja

Featuring the art of Neal Adams with new colors by Jose Villarubia! Containing the Red Sonja tales from Marvel Feature #1-7 presented in glorious fully re-mastered color. These tales are where it all begins and help set the stage for the current Red Sonja series from Dynamite! This is a must-have collection of never-before reprinted material. Plus this volume will feature two covers by legendary artist Frank Thorne!

Batman Adventures: Mad Love

The story revolves around The Joker's sidekick Harley Quinn. Once psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, she falls in love with the Joker after spending time with him inside Arkham Asylum. She develops an obsession with him, and turns to crime just to win his love.

Batman: Thrillkiller

In this Elseworlds tale, Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered by their own servants and poor Bruce was left with nothing. He sold his only possession, his house, to Barbara Gordon, who had earned a fortune off her murdered mother's insurance. Bruce entered the force and became a decorated detective while Babs went the Batman route. Only recently did she acquire the man wonder known as Robin. To further spin things on its head, the Joker is a woman, a cold-hearted self-professed bitch named Blanca Steeplechase. It only gets weirder.

Battle Axes

Battleaxes plops you smack dab in the middle of the 8th century A.D. when men were men and women were expected to wait on them. In this mini-series we meet the women of one Northern tribe that allowed its females to train as warriors. Hrotha, widow of the tribe’s chief, wants to be the new chief. She is challenged by Gunnar, a warrior who wants to get rid of the tradition of training women to fight and institute Christianity as the tribe’s dominant religion. Through treachery, Gunnar defeats Hrotha who is then forced to flee with her daughter, Freya. They are accompanied by Sigga and Brunna, battle hardened warriors who are also lovers and Skold, a Druidess in training.

Cavewoman

The story of Cavewoman is rooted deeply in science fiction.
Meriem Cecilbie Cooper is born in July 1980 to parents Robert Addam Cooper and Gail Nicole Reicher, in the town of Marshville, Oregon. After Robert dies of unknown causes, Gail turns to drugs, which leads her to fall in with an unsavory group of men. Eventually wanting to sever her ties with this group for Meriem's sake, Gail seeks the help of Meriem's scientist-inventor grandfather, Francis Peacock Reicher, affectionately called "Gramp." After first being thwarted, Gramp makes a mysteriously superhuman return, defeating the men easily and taking Meriem away on a hovercycle from the future.

At Gramp's laboratory, Meriem discoveres a time machine and a body-enhancing device that allows a living being to pass through the time stream. It is here that she first meets Klyde, Gramp's 15-foot-tall lab gorilla who has been accidentally altered by the body enhancer. Gramp then enhances Meriem as well, and the trio begins an ongoing adventure through time while on the run from dinosaurs and a secret branch of the government.

As events transpire, Gramp is written out of the story when he is killed by a Tyrannosaurus and Meriem stayed far from the cave that they settled down in. After a fierce fight with local carnivores near the "Quasi-Birds" nests, Meriem ended up naked when her clothes were torn off during the fight. Upon aging into a buxom 19-year-old, Meriem had lived in the local jungles naked (minus her hunting weapons), savage, happy, and free. Dinosaurs were taught to fear her. Meriem reunited with Klyde, who attacked her and broke her weapons. She then returned to the cave where she and Gramps had settled down. Not wanting to be naked and savage anymore, she eventually made a jungle bikini (with dinosaur teeth hanging on the strings) out of a leopard-printed snakeskin blanket. She also avenged her grandfather by slaying the Tyrannosaurus responsible for killing him, but rescued two Tyrannosaurus hatchlings from Velociraptors. One that was named Harmony became Meriem's companion while one named Peace became her enemy.

Later, the whole town of Marshville is transported into a prehistoric past.

Claws

Shanghaied and transported to a remote desert island, Wolverine and the Black Cat find themselves at the center of a deadly game. A team of filthy-rich hunters have slapped down some serious cash for the opportunity to hunt the Most Dangerous Prey on the Planet – and they’ve got the high-tech weapons to do just that. Like it or not, the key to Logan and Felicia’s survival just might be their ability to cooperate long enough to evade their hunters and uncover the identity of the deadly ringmaster. Brought to you by the team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray and superstar artist Joe Linsner.

Claws 2

James Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Joseph M. Linsner return to right where their classic "Claws" storyline left off to bring us an all-new tale of action, intrigue and razor-sharp appendages. Two of Marvel's most beloved and be-clawed heroes, Wolverine and Black Cat, have barely had time to catch their breath from defeating the villainous mastermind Arcade and his sidekick White Rabbit when the two evil schemers find an escape from their exile in The Savage Land, and an entryway into revenge! Watch the fur fly as these four fight it out in an all-new, no-holds-barred Claws adventure!

Danger Girl

Before J. Scott Campbell went full blown caricature artist with photo reference, he used to just cleverly pepper homages to Sean Connery, Bruce Campbell, and Elizabeth Hurley into his books.

Sexy girl spies, drawn as only J. Scott Campbell can! Danger Girl follows the story of renowned Archeologist and adventurer Abbey Chase as she is recruited by a super-secret spy organization. Along with fellow operatives, Sydney Savage and Natalia Kasstle, Abbey receives her first mission: to locate a series of mystical relics and keep them out of the hands of the Hammer Syndicate, a huge criminal network bent on world domination!

Death The High Cost of Living

Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman find her missing heart.

Death The Time of your Life

The story of a rising star in the music world wrestling with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into Death's imminent realm.

Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl

It is based in a world in which Bruce Wayne was never Batman, and the infant Kal-El did not survive long enough to become Superman. The orphaned Barbara Gordon becomes Gotham's near-dictatorial protector, and Kara Zor-El as the Girl of Steel teams with Lex Luthor and the Justice Society.

Empowered

Not only is costumed crimefighter "Empowered" saddled with a less-than-ideal superhero name, but she wears a skintight and cruelly revealing "supersuit" that only magnifies her body-image insecurities. Worse yet, the suit's unreliable powers are prone to failure, repeatedly leaving her in appallingly distressing situations . . . and giving her a shameful reputation as the lamest "cape" in the masks-and-tights business. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals of her bottom-rung superheroic life with the help of her "thugalicious" boyfriend (and former Witless Minion) and her hard-drinking ninja girlfriend, not to mention the supervillainous advice from the caged alien demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table . . .

Glory #23

After missing for almost a decade, Glory's whereabouts are uncovered by a lone reporter, but the globe-spanning conspiracy keeping her hidden from humanity could make her return more dangerous than anyone ever anticipated! This first issue of an brand-new saga written by Eisner & Harvey-award winner JOE KEATINGE and illustrated by Wet Moon and Shadoweyes creator ROSS CAMPBELL sets up Glory's future by expanding on her past in a way promising to shock long-time fans and excite all-new readers!

Gold Digger

Gold Digger focuses on the adventures of Gina Babette Diggers, superscientist, archeologist, teacher, adventurer, nerd, and idealist extraordinaire, accompanied by her colourful extended family, friends, students, and acquaintances, as she explores the strange and ancient hidden histories of the world, spanning a wide distinctive variety of characters, stories, environments, worlds, societies, times, species, and universes of magic and science fiction, in a world filled with possibilities.

Hotwire

Ghosts. The cities of the future have grown ankle-deep in them as they graze off the electromagnetic waste of a billion wireless Internet connections. Most can only drift, witless and lost. Rarely, though, something comes through with enough marbles to cause real trouble. And that's where Alice Hotwire, Detective Exorcist, comes in. -Sauce

Kill Your Boyfriend

A British schoolgirl yearning for excitement joins up with an angry rebel boy intent on tearing down middle-class England. Through their violent, anti-authority joyride – filled with sex, drugs, and anarchy – Morrison offers a scathing, often-hilarious take on the British suburban landscape, where edgy behavior provides an escape from sanity.

Lorna Relic Wrangler

Lorna Relic Wrangler is a collection of four short stories starring Lorna a young blond bombshell that's ½ Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and ½ Indiana Jones and maybe a dash of National Treasure. Her first adventure shows her preparing for her first mission. As she warms up it becomes clear that her "superiors" are checking out the free show as Lorna leans and stretches in her tank top and cut off jean shorts. One thing becomes clear quickly, Lorna is a knock out. Once she's completed her training she's ready for the real deal, but this time she's not letting her perverted superiors peek at her.

Lorna's mission is anything but simple. She must run a course starting at the capitol building going to Washington's monument. From there she must take the very tip of the monument and run with it back to the capitol building. She'll then insert it into the roof of the building and prevent another dimension from opening. This is all to prevent black magic that was inserted into the country by the British before leaving the states. As Lorna prepares to leave for her mission she runs into her arch enemy, Posh Meow. -Sauce

Love & Rockets

Twenty years gone, and Jaime Hernandez’ Las Locas have lost none of their charm: Maggie still struggles with her waistline, Hopey still lives in full-rebellion mode, Penny Century (as seen in her own book) remains an emotionally adrift bombshell, and Izzy, as ever, is at war both with depression and herself.

None of which should suggest that these characters haven’t experienced believable evolution over the last two decades. Indeed, each has aged as gracefully on the page as their prodigal creator has off of it. -Sauce

Many Worlds of Tesla Strong, The

Tesla Strong is the daughter of the Tom Strong, the premiere super-hero of Millennium City; and when her father’s educated ape friend, King Solomon, hops on a dimension-jumping, Kirby-esque surfboard and disappears, it’s up to young Tesla to search the multiverse for him. Her journey brings her into contact with many different versions of herself and her renowned family: some good (Tori Strong), some evil (Twyla Strong), and some…well…naked (Tamla Strong). In true Silver Age fashion – for such is the spirit of creator Alan Moore’s America’s Best Comics imprint, Tesla’s adventures on multiple earths lead to a cosmic crisis that must be averted. -Sauce

Medieval Spawn / Witchblade

Remember, too, that back in 1996, "Garth Ennis" wasn't even an adjective yet. He was a foreign star still on the ascent in the American market, doing Preacher, soon to be doing Hitman, not even close to Punisher. He did the first six issues of The Darkness, which spun off from Witchblade during that brief, bizarre moment when Witchblade was one of the hottest titles in all of comicdom. He also did this: Medieval Spawn / Witchblade, a team-up crossover that on first glance is just bizarre, and on second glance is still bizarre but telling as an ancestor of Ennis's current output. -Sauce

Monkeyman & O'Brien

What do you get when you mix the beautiful daughter of a brilliant scientist with an extra-dimensional radiation bath? You get Anne O'Brien, half of the dimension-hopping, monster-battling team of Monkeyman & O'Brien! Together, this super-intelligent gorilla and this uber-woman are the only things standing between the people of earth and the menace of living gargoyles, frogs from space, and the Shrewmanoid and his army of monsters! To put it succinctly, they're two rays of hope in a world gone mad! Join Art Adams for nonstop, eye-popping action in this science-fiction adventure.

Orchid

When the seas rose, genetic codes were smashed. Human settlements are ringed by a dense wilderness from which ferocious new animal species prey on the helpless. The high ground belongs to the rich and powerful that overlook swampland shantytowns from their fortress-like cities. Iron-fisted rule ensures order and allows the wealthy to harvest the poor as slaves.

Delve into the first chapter of Orchid, the tale of a teenage prostitute who learns that she is more than the role society has imposed upon her.

Powergirl : A New Beginning

JSA leader Power Girl wants to build a new secret identity — but a villain from her past has other plans for her and to get his way, he's holding Manhattan hostage. Plus, a trio of sexy alien marauders hits Earth for the ultimate party. Unfortunately, by their standards, that means destroying it.

Powergirl: Aliens and Apes

In this new PG title, Power Girl must contend with Satanna and her animal menagerie, who have returned to avenge her fallen lover, Ultra-Humanite. If that weren't enough, the alien Vartox has called upon Power Girl to help repopulate his planet!

The Pro

Just when you think GARTH ENNIS has gone too far, just when you thought it was safe to walk the streets, just when you thought no one would go near the idea of the world's first superhero prostitute... here comes THE PRO! Plus, in "The Pro Meets the Ho," our plucky heroine faces a super-powered "soiled dove" whose powers of perversion exceed the Pro's own!

Savage Dragon: Sex & Violence

Investigating a domestic dispute, the Dragon encounters Jennifer, a super-strong stripper who has somehow pulverised her abusive husband's entire head. Afterwards, Dragon and Alex answer a call concerning the decapitated remains of sixteen males. While almost everyone suspects Jennifer of the murders, the Dragon is soon attacked by a mysterious costumed woman, who escapes. Jennifer, who has been in jail, claims to have had nothing to do with the decapitated bodies.

Essential Savage She-Hulk

She’s been an FF member, an Avenger and the sharpest attorney in the superhuman halls of justice! Now, see her savage starting point in this complete compilation of her first series! Jennifer Walters takes her first thundering steps into stardom against mobsters, monsters and a super-villain who’s his own best team lineup! Featuring the Man-Thing, the Man-Wolf and the Man-Elephant! Guest-starring members of the Defenders!

She-Hulk / Thing: The Long Night

In THE LONG NIGHT, very old Marvel villains Dr. Jonas Harrow and corporate baddies Roxxon are conspiring together to resurrect another old adversary, the android known as Dragon Man. They hope to fabricate a new army of synthezoid (Harrow's term, not mine) for Roxxon's nefarious purposes. And what are those, exactly? Does Roxxon plan to man all of its pumping stations with synthetic attendants, thus throwing the entire world into chaos? These gas companies are pure evil, aren't they? Ooh.

She-Hulk and the Thing are taking the subway for a change, while deep below them Lord Bonham and his followers (no idea, sorry) are about to emerge and feast on the living. - Sauce

She Dragon

She-Dragon finds herself stranded into Dimension X, courtesy the seemingly magical, limitless powers of the annoying Mr. Glum. She soon discovers there's plenty of life in the bizarre world that Mr. Glum once called home, but the locals ain't all that friendly. She-Dragon ends up being enslaved, forced into a life of back-breaking labor in the service of a brutal warlord. Of course, it doesn't take long for said warlord to take notice of her bust size, and he finds a new kind of enslaved service for her to fulfill. Meanwhile, Dragon's son Malcolm, Angel and a few other kids find themselves lost in Dimension X as well. - Sauce

Strangers in Paradise

The story primarily concerns the difficult relationship between two women, Helen Francine Peters (known simply as Francine) and Katina Marie ("Katchoo") Choovanski, and their friend David Qin. Francine considers Katchoo her best friend; Katchoo is in love with Francine. David is in love with Katchoo (a relationship which Katchoo herself is deeply confused about).

This plays itself out over a second plot element, a thriller style story concerning the shadowy 'Big Six' organization. Its leader is a woman named Darcy Parker, who uses highly trained women (of whom Katchoo was one) to infiltrate—and to an extent control—the American political system. It uses a non-linear approach to storytelling, putting in sequence elements of the story often years apart, and going back in time frequently.

Tales of the Witchblade

This is a nine issue series that looks at the Witchblade through the ages. We get Pirate Witchblade. Mayan Witchblade. Medieval Witchblade. Egyptian Witchblade. And a few others here and there. This was a fun little series that ends with a crossover with Tomb Raider. You could probably skip the 9th issue as it focuses on Sarah Pezzini Witchblade and not a cool ancient times Witchblade.

Vampirella Archives, Vol.1

In September 1969, Vampirella #1 debuted with a stunning cover by the legendary Frank Frazetta - and quickly made publishing history! The writers and artists that contributed during the magazine's original run included Jose Gonzalez, Archie Goodwin, Doug Moench, Bernie Wrightson, Barry Windsor Smith, Esteban Maroto, Frank Brunner, Mike Ploog, Rudy Nebres, Richard Corben, Pablo Marcos, Wally Wood, and many more!

Witchblade #151

X-Men: Asgardian Wars

Otherworldly wonder at the top of one world and the heart of another! In the Arctic Circle, the X-Men and Alpha Flight find a power that could save the world at the cost of destroying...what? But cost is no object when the power is revealed as a gift from Loki, who doesn’t like it when his gifts are returned! When the God of Lies loses his own prize, he decides one bad turn deserves another and sets his magic against the X-Men, only for the New Mutants to take the fall...and rise to Asgard! The X-Men ride to the rescue, but can even the mightiest mutants survive the multiple magics of myth?

[SpiderJerusalem]

Strangers in Paradise is goooood and Milk and Cheese is awesome.

I don't understand that Supergirl quote. I like the old one from when I was little and loved Peter David one. This new one he brought back was on and off bleh and when she got better and started getting really good he rebooted it. I just want to call him an asshole I guess. I hate when I see him and whichever Marvel guy talking, I shouldn't read it.
Fucking assholes

[The Take Out Bandit]

Just read More Than Meets the Eye 1-3.

I'm enjoying this more than Robots in Disguise; but I'm a bit put off how all the characters share very similar personalities and dialogue. A lot of the characters have that snarky, always witty one-upper attitude of a lot of young people.

It's more annoying than endearing.

The writer really needs to look into writing different character voices.

 

[jon bones]

ready for more blasphemy? i'm gonna drop batman new 52. i loved snyders run on detective comics but this new batman court of owls doesn't really do anything for me. plus they're doing one of this big cross over events about it and i can never keep track of those.

i did start reading chew, though. very funny stuff and great art to boot.

 

[Memento Mori]

You only have to read Snyder's Batman issues to follow Night of the Owls. All the other tie-ins just show what the rest of the Bat-family were doing when the owls were going mental.

[The Take Out Bandit]

So, what's coming out today that would be a good jumping on point?

I would suggest what has worked for decades.

Walk into a shop.

Find something that catches your eye.

Go from there.

Publishers should not need to always cater to readers who can't deal with something that has existed for decades. Although Marvel and DC do their damnedest.

Thinking more about the statues and figures, and for me it's like comics. If it's by an artist / sculptor / studio whose work I enjoy, and it's a character I like - I'll buy it. If not. No.

At some point I need to purchase that Dragon bust before it becomes even harder to find.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Oh yeah, that would get basted but good.

 

[the chris]

Got to say, I loved the endings to Secret Avengers and FF this week. Uncanny X-Force had a good resolution but I am really looking forward to the next issue just based on Phil Noto's teaser image.

AvsX #0 was a waste, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise. Anybody else thinking about going to Midtown Comics for the signing event for AvsX #1 next week?

Yeah, for anything. Right now I'm thinking about:

AxX #0

Fantastic Four #16
Astonishing X-Men #48
Captain America #628
DareDevil #10

How does that look?

The "Epic Bat-Fail" line was the last straw for you too, eh?

 

[woodypop]

I'm not against Mags joining the X-men under the leadership of Cyclops, no x-man would follow him. I just think it's out of character him being so cooperative. There's no tension, he just blindly follows Cyclops.

Spoiler

One of the few times I though he was acting on character was when he found out about X-Force and asked/blackmailed Logan into killing that nazi guy who tortured his family. That's the real Magneto right there!

Wait, when did that happen?! (title/issue?)

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Speaking of Powergirl, Kotobukiya just announced a Bishoujo line figure:

[jon bones]

The "Epic Bat-Fail" line was the last straw for you too, eh?

i don't know, the whole story doesn't seem special in anyway. if i'm going to read a super hero book (like watxm) it's gotta do something interesting. i stopped reading invincible, too - the book just drags on now.

i think i'm just tired of ongoing series'. the "perpetual second act" thing gets to me, especially after reading so many wonderful closed-ended comics over the years. i even grow tired of fables.

thankfully there are some awesome new stuff to keep me satisfied:
chew
locke and key
saga
peter panzerfaust
wolverine and the x-men (so long as bachalo does more art than bradshaw)

i still need to start unwritten but people keep recommending it to me so i will get there.

ABOUT. F*CKING. TIME.

Now we need a She-Hulk from their Marvel line.

yes please

Yeah, for anything. Right now I'm thinking about:

AxX #0
Avengers #241
Fantastic Four #16
Astonishing X-Men #48
Captain America #628
DareDevil #10

How does that look?

Well it's my personal bias but i am not really enjoying the avengers right now, if you're gonna get anything get Secret Avengers. Marvel does recap pages so it shouldn't be that hard to follow.

not sure about Captain america or Astonishing but Daredevil and FF are in the middle of an arc.

Aquaman #7 is a new arc, and i'm really enjoying it so maybe check that out

Didn't see this posted here. The Toronto Star had an interesting interview Cebulski, talent coordinator at Marvel, and the journo posted the unedited interview (over lunch, Cebulski is a well known foodie) on his blog

Talks about double shipping, piracy etc.
