  1. While it's normal and acceptable for an internet chat forum to drift off into tangents, it would be wonderful if we could keep this particular, important thread on subject.
  2. I liked this 4 issue arc back in the '70s, not sure what I'd think now. I wasn't crazy about Gaard though.
  3. He's okay, but UnderwearOnTheOutsideMan was the best.
  4. The handle was MasterCPU here. If you go to page 5 of this thread, BlowUpTheMoon posted links to some of those threads.
  5. I'm pleased as punch to have picked up this TTA #44. This brings me down to 9 more to complete the run, and none of the other miscellaneous issues are bank breakers.
  6. I think OW would be reasonable based on *that* pic; lighting can make a difference and maybe in hand I'd feel differently. However, given CGC's lack of PQ consistency, I could see it being designated OW/CR or even CR.
  7. Saw it last week with the missus, the son and his buddies. We all mostly liked it. I think the son and I both liked the first one better. I'm probably the most negative of the group. It was *way* too long and bloated. Some of the scenes really dragged on and overall they just threw everything in *including* the kitchen sink. I just don't understand why every superhero movie these days has to be "epic" length. It makes going to see one an epic commitment. And I really felt cheated at the end, as did many other vocal patrons at the theater. I avoid spoilers and had no idea it was only Part 1. Ugh. Enough already. Pare it down and just tell the story.
  8. I was interested in seeing The Flash, but now see that it's 144 friggin' minutes long. WTH? I just sat through 136 minutes of the Spider-Verse last week. The first thing the studios should do to improve the genre is to start making average length movies again. Every single one does not need to be 2-1/2+ hours long. Going to a superhero movie these days is a time-consuming commitment.
