  1. Worse than Army of the Dead Both movies bored me to tears - which should have been impossible with a zombie flix set in Vegas - and a prequel. Not good 2/10
  2. Excuse the bad pics. No super-pets here sadly More Hardback Graphic Novels, Tank Girl books, The Boys, assorted indie short series. Various 'Dawn' books - inc limited edition signed set with COA Giger books, McKean books etc etc $175 all up
  3. What would Kang do? Form a bloody sentence for a start....
  4. I'm English mate - I just happen to live in OZ now. Tipping Point is a show everyone should endure at least once!
  5. Your book, your money - you collect what makes you happy. Ignore the nay-sayers and shine on you crazy diamond! PS: You could always 'test your grading' in the grading section of the boards.... Guys lets make a lurking noob welcome! (In loving honour of recently FDQ exiting members!)
  6. Au contraire. I couldn't care less what you do. I'm just not sure WHY you are doing it. If this is an attempt at trolling - it's poor. If this is a thread to bait people so you can add to your tally of button humps, then it's ever poorer. Just put me on ignore and have done with it.
  7. This is almost as bad as the torments of tantalus. Pointless and painful to watch. And ultimately fruitless.
  8. Regina King was superb. Again DC went 'Dark' - and it worked. Incredibly good show. Funny you should mention Stargirl - I haven't watched it - but I haven't heard good things - it seemed 'tweeny' - I may try it. Supergirl - again too tweeny. Doom Patrol was kinda like Legion - you liked it or hated it. And speaking of which AUBREY PLAZA would be perfect as Batgirl! I think Watchmen makes my point well. Batgirl needs to be super dark for it to work
  9. Good backing cast - esp JK Simmons I am worried that the heroine has such a shallow CV As we saw with the dreadful Aussie actress Ruby Rose in Batwoman - doesn't matter how good a concept is - if the lead can't act - then its going to crash and burn. Her only major role was a musical which was just about OK - but not due to her really - more the complete ensemble. I don't understand DC's thinking at times - so many ordinary Batman movies - then some great dark ones (latest looks good too) Some good series - but some truly awful ones. Hell the latest Wonder Woman was abysmal - and after The Snyder Cut, with Gadot being pretty damn good - why oh why did they do an 80's style movie that was just so cringeworthy that it would actually have been bad IN the 80's! When DC do dark movies - they work When they do G / PG movies - they stink. This doesn't bode well for me - there are so many stronger female actors out there - and Batgirl is supposed to be a strong character. Emma Mackey (Sex Education) or even Blu Hunt would have been so much better choices - Millie Bobby Brown even. Hopefully she surprises and makes Batgirl her own - certainly a potential franchise. But besides WW - DC don't have a good track record with female characters (Harley Quinn, Birds Of prey etc) Hoping for best, fearing mediocrity!
  10. There is a dreadful movie on Netflix - 'Cosmic Sin' - on which mech clad soldiers fly through space onto the planet in an "Iron Rain" I'm assuming Mr Brown might be consulting his lawyers about this!
  11. I concur There have been 'good' Hulk moments in the movies - time for a great one. Most under-used character out of the current Avengers roster
  12. But I couldn't log on for 2 days Had to go through a 3rd party link - "bad gateway connection" Coincidence?
  13. New update Books still nor found. Zero reply from CGC to emails. Joeys phone calls get fobbed off. Lost since August. Bravo CGC, you must be so proud.... Or you don't give a toss. I guessing the latter. No wonder CBCS subs are increasing by the week. CGC's customer service sucks.
  14. it's a 4 part series Bosco - Matty should be front and centre. I admire your optimism, but this has Jupiters Legacy, Outcast, Y-The Last Man failure written all over it. Matty Roth IS DMZ Without that character - the book isn't being portrayed - this will be another you-know-who bashing show, shaped as a 'comic adaptation'. It's more sadness and frustration for me Bosco - I loved 'Y' and loved 'DMZ' - it's just such a shame the originality of the stories are being diluted to suit an 'agenda'. PS: Love the work you do on this part of the forum - I for one appreciate it
  15. If it continues in the same vein - then why would anyone pick up this 'woke' version. To be pulled mid-season - and Season One at that, means this turkey is dead. The viewers voted - it sucked, they turned off. End Of Story. I really hope someone just dos it as written one day.
  16. The 'outsider' is Zee in the show - BUT: She was always in the DMZ - and whilst a major character - who I'm sure Dawson will play well, was only a footnote to the whole story. The outsider is the Journalist Matty Roth - he is 100% integral to the entire story. He isn't mentioned anywhere in the trailer! Without Roth this isn't DMZ - it's yet another book that's been completely warped to suit some narrative (Om sure you can guess which)
