I heard about that event and I really don't know why they can't stop. I figured with Geoff gone they'd at least wait a year(2 for my preference)before going back into event mode but by god they just can't stop. Dunno how that Sinestro Corps book will turn out tho. With Sinestro f***ing off wherever I don't think it'll be all that great. Unless the event brings him back.

considering everyone in the Sinestro Corps other than Sinestro himself was a baby-eating twat, I have no idea what the appeal of a book about them possibly could be.

OK, so I absolutely hated Alpha when Slot introduced him last year. However, I just finished reading Fialkov's "Alpha: Big Time" limited and really enjoyed it. If they were to have Fialkov write an ongoing for Alpha...I would totally be for it.
It wasn't groundbreaking stuff, but it was quite solid.

Red Lanterns were just spinning their wheels for 20 issues though. Nothing at all happened cept the introduction of the first human Red Lantern who in turn didn't do shit either. Haven't read #21 yet however which seems interesting enough.

RED LANTERNS has sold well, hasn't it? yeah but they're more "morally ambiguous guys with understandable motives". the Sinestro Corps, to a man (other than Sinestro himself) are a bunch of unrepentant rapists,serial killers, cannibals, at least one character whose blatantly a pedophile (Kryb) and worse.

Don't think Kryb ever abused those kids tho. She just killed the lantern parents and took the kids as her own.

So I recently bought Warren Ellis' run on Stormwatch and the Authority and I was reading up on what lead one to the other. To just make sure I am correct int this. In order to get Stormwatch Black and turn them into the Authority Ellis had to do the only Aliens crossover that was in continuity and had them kill off most of Stormwatch.
How the hell does that happen.

How the hell does that happen. he wanted to do The Authority for a while but he could only use characters he created himself (Swift was the only exception). so he agreed to do the Aliens crossover to kill off the artifact characters from before his run on the book. it's pretty much the only misstep in his run because it has to be one of the most anti-climactic endings to a series I've ever seen. and then Christos Gage brought them all back later, anyway.

If you guys are following the ImageExpo announcements - there are a lot of cool titles coming from them in the next year or so. Though I'm most interested in Rat Queens, a lot of more established names are releasing new books through Image.
Also they announced that the Image site will be doing digital comics in the near future that are 100% DRM free.
Image, for me at least, as been the company to watch for the last few years so this is some very interesting stuff coming out of San Francisco.

Agreed, Image has some real solid books out these days. Love Chew and Saga, enjoyed the first trades of Think Tank and Danger Club and Manhattan Projects is great just to see Hickman's mind run all over the place.
PS-Oops, and Walking Dead. I think that was the book that sort of kicked off their return to prominence, wasn't it?

OK, I have a question that I had to ask, not following comics and seeing something from a comic.
In a recent issue of She-Hulk, apparently she had a bunch of super shrunken supervillains crawling on her hand at ant size or smaller, and then she had to fight them when they were about the size of action figures thanks to Pym Particles making them bigger.
I have to know...why were all those villains so tiny in the first place?

The only thing from Image I've read and didn't like is Manhattan Projects. It just didn't click for me. I wouldn't knock it or say don't read it. It just...wasn't my cup of tea.
But yeah...everything else I've read from Image has me jumping for joy.

I have to know...why were all those villains so tiny in the first place? I vaguely recall this. IIRC, this was from some years ago actually. Basically the plot at hand was that Pym (and others?) had decided to imprison supervillains in a micro-prison, so that if they ever broke out....they'd be like this: annoying (for humor's sake - this was when Dan Slott was writing SHE-HULK and it actually was funny) and rather ineffective without access to the Pym particles.

I've been saying this for a while, Image is better at being Vertigo than Vertigo is these days. it really bugs me when someone like say Linkara goes and bitches about Image as if all they are is the Rob Liefeld bad nineties anti-hero company.
