Chris Haley is... THE ENTHUSIAST!

“In the aforementioned interview, Levitz notes that Legion will begin in May, with Adventure following in June. His first Adventure Comics arc will be called “Superboy and the Legion of Super-heroes: Secret Origin,” and will update Clark Kent’s initial adventures with the Legion, based on the most recent origin-refresh seen in Geoff Johns’ Superman: Secret Origin mini-series.”

Newsarama.com : Paul Levitz Writing ADVENTURE COMICS… AND LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES?

In other words, this new comic will be re-hashing Geoff Johns’ rehashing of comics your dad or granddad read. Thanks.

Words I’d like to see made illegal for use by Newsarama writers during interviews.

I use the word “Words” here to cover words, phrases, punctuations, etc.

1. “…”

2. Starting a sentence with “Well,”

3. ”a whole bunch”

4. “sitch” (used as short for “situation”)

5. “rockin’”

6. “um”

There were actually a lot of other things I’d like to complain about, but they don’t really fit into the list format very well. Also, all of these examples were from a single interview.

I know he’s getting paid, so he obviously wins, but how does this dude sleep at night?

More awesome Greg Land ~~tracing~~ art!

Original image from from JimSmash!, I added that top one when I saw it last night.

“Sure she looks like a strange mix of cheerleader and drum majorette with a vacuous smile that says “perkier than a badger” but it takes a little more than fresh faced high school charm to win over the Buzzster. C’mon Mattel, if ya can’t make her poseable, then make her hawt! Bring on the Black Mary version. Now that’s a girl that makes a fellow stand up and shout; “Shazam!”

From a review of an action figure intended for children.

Thanks, “Buzzy Fret” but I really don’t have any desire to jerk off to my action figures. I think there’s an entire section of the Previews catalog that’s got just what you’re looking for though!

Shit like this makes me crazy. And sad.

“Well, it’s finished. And oddly enough, that’s the strongest thing I can say about the conclusion of the Geoff Johns/Ethan Van Sciver miniseries.”

~~This mini-series really sucked out all of the joy I had for the return of Barry Allen.~~

This mini-series really sucked.

Cry for Justice #7: When Comics Are God-Fucking-Awful

Wherein I get upset with you.

Joe the Barbarian #1 was wonderful, only cost $1, & only sold 25K copies. If you didn’t buy it, I hate you.

“The reason it got such a big response is because people could point to one book and talk about how it distilled the worst of the status quo in comics right now.”
