Forever Evil was cool- I didn't follow DC besides Batman Inc and Batman upto Year Zero.. dropped Batman don't care about more origins but this was awesome and I had no clue that there was even a big DC event, which I'm assuming it is?
Flipping though this Ultraman snorting powdered Kryptonite and Owlman/the Nightwing thing sold me. Love the evil JLA/CSA. |

What's the verdict on Secret Six and Gotham City Sirens? I've heard moderately good things about them but I don't spend too much time on comic book talk these days, so I'm kind of out of the loop. The first few issues of each are discounted on the Kidnle store though, and since that's where my book library is, I thought this would be the best place to try. If they're decent.

They were both indeed good. Was sad that they had to be canceled to make way for the stupid new universe.

The last incarnation of Secret Six was good, Catman and Rag Doll are awesome. Gotham City Sirens was alright but bored me after like 7 or 10 issues but I started to become jaded and cut back on comics around then.

Glee's Grant Gustin shall portray Barry Allen in Arrow, and possibly the Arrow spin-off starring Flash. This casting is significant in that there's plenty rumors and fan requests that Arrow share the new Man of Steel continuity where Batman is set to appear in the next movie. This would save them some time when they get around to Justice League, not too mention Arrow has so successfully built a grounded world for itself, Man of Steel and even the Dark Knight trilogy could readily accept it.
But yeah, they have a Flash. He will be the first 'superhero' as far as Arrow is concerned. |

I was surprised to find he's only 23. Aren't most of the Glee cast in their late 30s? You know, like most TV high schoolers?
Still, I have no real metric for how old Flash should be, so I don't know. Is this really all that bad? |

Nah. More of just on observation based on a similar reaction of discovering he's pretty young. Sure he will do fine.

So last month Kevin Smith and Grant Morrison did something where they talk about comic books... Well the Killing Joke was brought up, and Grant Morrison brought up this really interesting aspect that I never considered...
So first does anyone know what I'm talking about? Second... Does anyone agree with Grant Morrison? I'll post it if people want me to. |

Spoil what? The Killing Joke? Or what someone said about it? I don't think people care about spoilers of either.

I can't embed right now. After researching it last night apparently it's old news to comic book smarks. I'd never heard of it. I think it's a pretty interesting to way to look at the ending. It does make sense in some ways. I'm not saying I agree with Grant Morrison, but I can definitely see where he is coming from. |

So I did end up buying a few of the DC sale comics. Was Ed Nigma's "legitimate" persona featured in comics or was that more or less a one-off with GSS? Because I think I'd enjoy more of the Riddler Reformed.

He was reformed for a few years in the comics from what I remember. From maybe 2006 to 2009.

I enjoyed Riddler's "reformed" days. Mostly it can be found in the pages of Paul Dini's Detective Comics (which yeah, was from around 2006-2009)

The idea of Nigma using his insanity for good intrigues me. I may have to track down the comics, period. On a side note, I love the whole "panel view" thing Kindle does. Means I can read on my phone, since my tablet doesn't seem to want to cooperate. |

Speaking of which, bought the first two trades of new 52 GL. One of the only titles to retain the original dcu continuity. Probably because the book was so danced good.
Anyway they're both great. Loving the dynamic between Hal and Sinestro as a GL. Really adding depth to the Sinestro character. |

Yes auto correct GL was so danced good. The salsas and funky chickens in that book are amazing.

Just read the first trade of New 52 Animal Man. Shit is so good. Surreal, disturbing art reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing.
